Its their home. Why would you think they were?
- giacomoforte 9mo agoAmericans famously don't respect native peoples and their lands.
- nozzlegear 9mo agoTbf I think you could say this for almost any European country as well.
- yencabulator 9mo agoGreenland can vote for independence any moment they want. How are you treating Hawaii?
- nozzlegear 9mo agoI was speaking more to Europe's whole history as colonizers and slavers. > How are you treating Hawaii Hawaiians are Americans, so we treat them fine I guess?
- t1234s 9mo agoI think many Alaskans are paid.
- JohnFen 9mo agoThere is an annual payment from the oil money, yes, but it isn't large enough to affect people's decisions about living there, nor is that the intent.
- telotortium 9mo agoAlaskan Native Americans may be paid in the sense that the government provides subsidies for infrastructure and the like, but it’s seen as either welfare or necessary to allow them to keep practicing some of their native way of life. All Alaskan citizens also get a dividend from the Permanent Fund, but that’s only around $1000 a year. They are definitely not being paid to discourage Russia from invading (except for the military I suppose).
- _fs 9mo agoIts the latest manosphere talking point. Pretty much a repeat of saying all protestors are paid by George Soros and the Clintons.
- mindslight 9mo agoIt seems more like the little-boy-o-sphere. Who over the age of 15 is following these performative preeners who spend all day at the gym? Tough men lift steel, not iron.
- eudamoniac 9mo agoWhat does this mean? Barbells are made of steel
- mindslight 9mo agoThe bar is made of steel, the weights are made of cast iron. Steel is stronger, hence its use for the bar that must withstand deflection. Tools and equipment that are used to get things done are mostly made of steel, as the primary thing they need is strength.
- eudamoniac 9mo agoI thought you were wrong, but it turns out a lot of cheaper plates are indeed iron. Bumper plates used in weightlifting, the kind I normally use, are steel though, which explains my confusion.
- mindslight 9mo agoWell then, it sounds like you can adopt my slogan even within the context of weightlifting. The way I see it, I only need to be able to deadlift things like jacks, chains, SSQA fork frames, etc.
