  • American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). They are the ones playing defense against fascism and violations of civil liberties by the US government. This includes immigration, freedom of religion/expression, lgbtq rights, abortion rights, you name it they’ve done it.they are responsible for getting nunerous illegal bills/acts/laws rescinded. They do great work. The sort of work that is foundational to getting the US government on track.


  • They’re better than cast iron for some things in my experience. Acidic dishes, eggs (scrambled always stick to cast iron for me). But cast iron’s heat retention is superior, providing a more even cooking surface on electric ranges - good for searing meat and most other applications.

    Yes this. Literally just handwash with soap and water. Season occasionally (clean & then scrub with steel wool to get an even surface, very small amount of oil/lard spread over pan very thinly, oven at 260c/500f until totally dried/hardened, repeat a couple times).

    Oven safe, nonstick, durable.





  • Ad hominem fallacy. The person who has been exposed for various things, instead of trying to refute the argument of the accuser (e.g. “they’re misrepresenting the facts”, “I couldn’t have done that here’s an alibi”)

    … they just make their own accusations to make others mistrust their accuser. All of the examples you listed were ad hominem attacks against your friend.

    Naturally

    ಠ_ಠ

    Edit: for everyone saying this is possible natty… maybe if he has incredible genetics. He is young and was untrained so some rapid progress could be expected. But:

    1. That does not look like an 85kg teenager to me unless he’s pretty tall. But let’s assume he is 85kg at the start - must be at least 1.85m tall.

    2. Estimated ~25% body fat, around 64kg lean mass -> estimated ~10% body fat @ ~99kg lean mass. A gain of 35kg in 3-4 years. 77lbs for my Americans.

    3. That would require a lean mass gain of 8.75kg-11.66kg (20.4lbs-27.18lbs) on average per year to achieve. Most beginners can expect as much as 9kg of mass gain in their first year, but that leaves 2-3 years at 8.66kg-13kg of lean mass gain per year.

    4. Possible muscle growth rates (naturally) for humans range from ~.25kg - ~.9kg (.5lbs-2lbs) per month but slow with progression - you can’t expect to max out that same rate forever.

    5. 35kg in 3-4 years means .73kg -.97kg/month on average.

    6. So, sure, maybe it’s possible if this guy has elite genetics and bulked for 3-4 years straight and did the worlds fastest cut right before that after photo was taken… or he got some hormonal assistance and put in the work too. Which is nbd, but it is very doubtful this is natty.

    Edit edit: using the Casey Butt Calculator, max lean mass at 185cm is 93kg possible/88kg realistic using wrist/ankle sizes a bit above average (18cm, 24cm). Using massive size wrist and ankle (25cm wrist and 30cm ankle) the max is like 106kg possible/101kg realistic- so if this kid has a huge frame, then maybe he’s natty - and he achieved his lifetime natural maximum in 3-4 years after starting lifting as a totally untrained gamer kid.

    5 point scales are dumb because there’s too much ambiguity with 2s and 4s. Since everyone has an inconsistent definition of what those mean, they don’t really mean anything. Knowing that intuitively, people spam 5s and 1s because those are unambiguous.

    3 or even 2 point scales are better. Dislike, Neutral, Like / would not recommend, would maybe recommend, would always recommend or just removing the middle option to push people off the fence.
