Intel is investing 25 Billion dollars into Israel. That is the biggest investment any company has ever made to Israel.

    Fun fact about IBM actually, they aided the Nazis during the Holocaust by developing tabulation machines for census of camp inmates, along with several secret contracts which brought in a lot of money for them.

    When we point out the obvious based on available evidence, we're told that we're insufferable, that we're wrong, that we spread "Russian propaganda," that we are "genocide apologist tankies," etc etc. yet somehow, like CLOCKWORK we turn out to be right on the end. But of course, nobody is willing to admit that we're right and the cycle starts all over again.

    Even if we turn this in to a purity contest, I highly doubt Marx himself believed revolutions to be a dinner party. Is that binary logic? No, that's just historical consequence.

    I will never stray from the fact that Russia has been instrumental in supporting people around the world, but also recognizing that Russia is a reactionary state, which if given the same status as the United States would engage in all the very same tactics. I know people are quick to dismiss the KPRF as "controlled opposition" that is "joined at the hip" with United Russia, but in my opinion it's a counter balance that appeals to Soviet era demographics, and it does its job well, and by no means are they "non-radical" in the sense they absolutely risk strikes and organizing people even if it gets them thrown in jail. Yet despite all this, the KPRF recognizes too, the self-determination of Donbass, and has written very good analysis on the subject over the years, recognizing the absolute need of the military operation in the region. I do not personally believe that United Russia wholeheartedly supports this operation from a ground of moral conscience, but I do not also believe that they are innately engaging for economic reasons as one would for a capitalist state. I also hold the belief that out of all post-soviet countries, Russia holds one of the highest potentials for another mass communist movement organized from below, which would almost certainly reform many of the "bad" elements found within the KPRF (some of the more chauvinist points in their programme for example), especially with Russia weakening the chains of the neoliberal crisis, the revival of productive forces due to self reliance from sanctions and pressure, and finally, from the aggression by Kiev's fascist regime against history and peoples of the USSR, will ultimately only drive people further in to finding the historical links between anti-fascism and communism.

    Splitting up reps sounds like a really good idea, feels kinda duh that I didn't think about it that way. Will try that asap. I've been trying to maintain good form, but it isn't as easy as said, especially since I keep drooping my head down, but I am slowly improving. I will also check out calisthenics programs. Thank you so much for your advice, very greatly appreciated. All of these replies have been incredibly helpful.

    Yeah...initially I had a lot of hope, I thought maybe he had changed from the last time he made the mistake with Haiti, but I was wrong. Strange that he'd jump on this opportunity twice. Also, a lot of indigenous people still are left without justice against multinationals and abuse of their lands, it's really disheartening how much inaction is taking place. I know that MST critically supported Lula, but I wonder what their stance is nowadays..

    Thanks, yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what you're referring to, I have had those instances where I've had to "shut up" my voice, at least for the first few miles of building, but in most of those cases, it was generally because I was either out of breath or felt like my muscles were shaky, but in this case it's like my arms simply refuse to work at that limit, even if I were to hypothetically "push" myself, I basically just collapse. Sure, it isn't "fixed" to 25, I have variable instances where I have "reached" 30, but that goal quickly collapses the next day to let's say, 23 before my body "gives out" again without being able to push on. I know it may sound confusing, but meh, it could as you said, be mental, so I will keep trying anyways, maybe I'll figure out what's wrong.

    Yeah, generally if I feel soreness, it's a hard avoid for me, even a little bit, since in the past I've caused some strain by doing that which left me not doing them for weeks. Thanks for all of this, I will try and adapt accordingly, or at the very least try this out, especially in regards to taking my time rather than trying to achieve a quantity.

    Thank you, I'll keep all this in mind and also will figure out a start on pull ups. Deff don't want to cause a muscle imbalance, my posture is already horrible enough as it is.

  • I'm in IT, so generally when it comes to physical activity I'm pretty stagnant. Recently, I took it upon myself to start doing some running alongside a number of push ups and to slowly work my way up. But here's my problem: I've been reading that it's best to space out push ups so that your body gets some time to heal, since apparently it's valuable in order for the muscles to grow. So I've been doing them ever 2nd day, which has worked relatively okay so far. The first few weeks were grueling because I lacked a lot of the stamina to do them, and could only do about 5 at a time. Now I'm up to two sets of 25 push ups per day, but what worries me is this sensation that I'm plateauing. Once I reach 25, I have to stop, wait a few minutes, before I do the next 25, which is fine, but if I bother to push for a few more, let's say, 28 or 30 push ups per set, my arms literally give out. The good thing is they don't feel sore, but it's like my arms just physically cannot go any further. Does anyone else have this problem? How did you get around it?

    Russia (more so I support the progressive character of self-determination in Donbass), Nicaragua, Belarus, Venezuela, Bolivia, currently Honduras because of Xiomara Castro, Burkina Faso, Iran, the resistance in Artsakh, Yemen, but also recently I stopped supporting Brazil because Lula decided to again support the oppression of the Haitian people.

    On the other hand China has to balance the private economy to push forward as well in the tech industry, and LoongArch is perfect for that in a commercial context, especially now that US lawmakers are seeking to literally "block" China from using RISC-V (good luck with that), it at least provides an excuse, and plus it's far away enough from both MIPS and RISC-V to be categorized as its own thing. But no despair, there are great RISC-V projects out there, take a look at Milk-V, they released their Mars board and it's been a huge success. By no means is it being sidelined, but I also recognize as sobuddywhoneedsyou said below that RISC-V is relatively early in the adoption phase, especially with the ARM hype right now, so maybe going slow is for the best.

  • Every time I see an article linked to HN, the conversations that follow are absolutely horrendous. It makes racism on places like Reddit look tame. There's also a lot of bootlicking for US imperialism, attempting to justify neocolonial ventures or trying to argue about how somehow Taiwan and Japan are "beacons" of the free world...by complaining that China is heading lightspeed towards "renewables and mass electrification." In fact, that's all I can take away from HN conversations, "China le bad" takes, such as "China is irredentist for wanting to reclaim Taiwan," as if someone couldn't make bad faith arguments about civil wars in other countries (setting aside settler-colonialism, I'm sure that the US wouldn't have wanted a "free the confederacy" movement, but who knows maybe that's what tech bros want?). There's always this whole theme in their discussions portraying China as some "uncivilized" nation contrasted to the "civilized" western nations, and it's always this uniquely disgusting and ignorant quality which reflects the thinly veiled white supremacy in supposedly liberal ideology.

    A lot of different outlets, as well as watchers on FlightRadar24 had reported the occupation's administration sending aircraft to different Azeri ground stations: [AP - Israeli arms quietly helped Azerbaijan retake Nagorno-Karabakh, to the dismay of region’s Armenians](https://apnews.com/article/armenia-azerbaijan-nagorno-karabakh-weapons-israel-6814437bcd744acc1c4df0409a74406c) [Haaretz - Israel's Fingerprints Are All Over the Ethnic Cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh](https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/editorial/2023-09-27/ty-article-opinion/israels-fingerprints-are-all-over-the-ethnic-cleansing-in-nagorno-karabakh/0000018a-d331-d13d-a98f-dbb5028e0000) [[Israeli arms quietly helped Azerbaijan retake Nagorno-Karabakh, to the dismay of region's Armenians](https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/israeli-arms-quietly-helped-azerbaijan-retake-nagorno-karabakh-103743850) And who is Azerbaijan allies with militarily? Turkey. Who receives gas from whom? Why did the EU sign a gas deal with Azerbaijan, shortly before the invasion? It's all so obvious, who's side Erdogan and Aliyev are in "solidarity" with, especially after the farcical rallies. The Palestinian Occuption Forces are complicit in several genocides, even outside of its "borders." It's terrifying to think of what they'll fuel next, such as the Syrian "opposition" or ETIM.
