Your intro does not make it clear - is it not all bad?? Why claim “propaganda” just because the US does it too? Fair enough if you want to spread awareness of all forced labor equally, but your response makes seems to me like you think it’s not actually happening in China, only in the US (which if true a source on that would be nice, not just sources about it happening in the US).
3·10 months agoI would guess you’re doing a much larger range of motion relative to each joint, squatting “ass to grass” but doing calf raises just from standing. Your ankles don’t move as far generally as your knees, but if you want to maximize calf gains, do them off a ledge so you raise from the bottom of the range of motion to flat-footed.
You’ve both mentioned the same “Israel has a right to defend itself” quote. I’d be curious to know when/where he said that.
You’re either purposely trying to turn people against Sanders or willfully ignorant. He’s been speaking against Israel forever.
I thought that didn’t work?

Skin color is directly related to latitude. Darker skin means more melanin, which absorbs more light and protects against sunburns and thus skin cancer.
Eye color factors are less confidently known, but darker eyes generally have a better time in bright daylight.
Regarding those two, it’s also worth mentioning that the Inuit people don’t follow those patterns, as while they have less sunlight, they also have to deal with reflected light off the snow.
Hair texture is like eye color in that we’re only mostly confident, but tight curls also probably protect from the sun.
It’s also been posited that epicanthic folds might help against freezing winds, but there’s no real evidence for that.
I’ve found that 99.99% of my spam comes from emails with weird extensions - .xyz, .world, .shop, .best, etc. - so I’ve gotten a significant amount of relief in getting a mail client that lets me block entire domain extensions (BlueMail mobile).
That’s because human perception exists on a logarithmic scale! It’s called the Weber-Fechner law, and it was one of the first studied psychological phenomena, before psychology as a field was even defined.
Interestingly, our sense of the “bigness” of numbers is also logarithmic. This is why there have to be explicit explanations of the massive difference between a million and a billion - our brains instinctively and erroneously think “eh, it’s like double.”
