Hmm i get ur argument, but still i do believe that banning that app will still have some net positive impact, i understand that this doesn’t really fix the problem by its root, maybe i m biased, but i just want the people around me to get a chance to get off that app, thats why banning it, while i agree with not with so good intentions, still might give some sort of positive impact on people who cant concentrate on anything for more than a minute, i just don't jive well with the mentality here that the ban in nd of itself is wrong, i understand tho that the US has its own interests and doesn’t give many fcks abt ppl
Ty for ur detailed response, i get what u r trying to say, but I feel maybe we r seeing from different perspectives, like I said i m also aware that the US doesn't have any good interests, but i still believe that banning the app is a net positive, the thing is many ppl r aware they r addicted, but just are not able to stop, banning tiktok is atleast one good thing in nd of itself, I also agree that this doesn’t do anything for the root of the problem, but i feel ppl being more aware (and having experienced) the destructive effects it has on their life, once freed, will probably refrain harder from walking into the same wormhole again, so i don’t quite agree that a ban will do nothing, it probably will have a net positive impact still
Let me know if i m misunderstanding something.. but regardless of the intentions, the act of banning is still in itself a good thing, its the same as police carrying a more thorough investigation on some case because of media pressure, while u can definitely argue abt the root of the problem (nd i will agree) their act of atleast bringing justice to one person should not be shitted upon, u can shit upon the person nd the system i will do it with u, but here i see a lot of comments and just general mindset that “US said this, US bad, hence what they did is bad too/they should not be taken seriously”
According to me atleast, statements should be judged based upon its own merits and not by the person saying it
I might be killed, but seeing the comments i feel like lemmy is getting too into the zone of umm like judging the action based on the person instead of judging the action/statement itself, yeah the US gov is a piece of shit, and also they probably don't have the peoples best interest in mind, but the act of banning tiktok, according to me, is a right move, i can see nd myself have felt the humongous mental impact it has on teens (like me) basically killing their attention span, and making them feel like they need to pick up their phone, heck kids cant read 10pages from their physics book, infact reading a page only thoroughly is a tough task for most of them, and i m not talking abt a few select cases, i can see this in 95% of kids (this is anecdotal tho), ever since i stopped using reels/tiktoks/shorts, i can feel my mind improving
Also the whole slew of misinformation and propaganda tiktok is, is another issue
Again I agree with ppl that the US doesn’t hv the ppls best interest, but i do feel this might help atleast some ppl break their addiction, so many I know are aware they r addicted but can’t stop, banning the app altogether might help
Thanks:) nd i hope u hv a tasty meal!
Yeah i hv watched clannad, i actually didn’t enjoy is quite as much which is quite controversial haha, but yeah not everyone likes the same stuff
Yea, thnks a lot for sharing :)
Ohk, i hope u r fine and doing well
Thanks a lot for sharing! I hope u hv a a very fun day, i m better than what i was in night thru early morning :)
Do u mind me asking whats the purpose of a neurology? I thought it has something to do with nerves and stuff
Nice! I hope u hv a nice holiday:)
Mechanics is a branch of physics, where u learn abt mechanism of different types of movements, like rotational mechanics, where u study abt a rotating body and its motion (stuff like angular velocity angular momentum etc) or like fluid mechanics, uniform circular motion etc, pretty basic haha ik, but i do enjoy learning and applying concepts, unfortunately there aren’t many practicals i can do but i do hope i get more opportunities after i graduate high school
Repairing guitar stuff seems fun! I hv always wanted to learn bass but like i said there are not many opportunities in high school where i live, i wish to graduate and move
Ah Ok, I understand it now haha, yeah they taught us python iirc end couple of years in middle school and the first couple years of high school, now i hv had the option so i opted out since i m not that interested in AI and computer stuff but rather mechanics and electromagnetism stuff like that
Thanks a lot for explaining to me tho, its not boring it seems kinda cool actually
I feel so dumb lol, i m not as techie as most of lemmy I m in high school ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway i hope u succeed on whatever u r trying to do, i don’t understand lol
It seems like u r making some fictional reality game and uhh mapping ur brain on some thing?! ◉_◉
Thanks a lot, at first glance seems pretty crazy haha from what i see on mal, thanks for the suggestion i might give it a shot, and yeah its available here :) thanks a lot for the link too
Hmm i m not that much into the latest anime i just kinda watch sometimes, so idk abt what new ones which are airing, i feel like watching rn because it will divert my mind definitely
Thanks for the suggestion definitely :)
Oh, hopefully u get a good nights rest
Just some stuff i m not comfortable sharing online :)
I have been down, i wanna hear about how u r all doing lol
I hope everyone is doing great! I have been having a rough few days hehe, I would normally be sleeping rn but I cant due to anxiety for a few days, i don’t have anyone else to talk with at the moment so here I am
Edittt: Also idk how many of u who come across this are anime fans, ignore otherwise, but for some reason i hv been wanting to watch (something like) toradora once again lol, it kinda keeps my mind occupied so i think of anime all day lol, if anyone has any suggestions pls drop them :)
Okk, thanks a lot for ur help :)
Hmm ok ig i will do that, my guess is i should only do this for squat right?
Thanks a lot for ur help! On my previous 5x3 i failed on the 2nd rep on the 5th set, when i tried 6x2 i failed on the very first rep lol, so I didn’t try 10x1
Ig my form might just be super inconsistent maybe? Anyway i will try lowering the weight and the widening the stance and practicing with it
I typically rest arnd 3 min for t1 lifts but sometimes upto five between the last couple of sets
And also ur approach on AMRAP makes sense, maybe i missed something when reading the material but yeah getting anything less than 4 on 3+ AMRAP set should be considered failure
I drop the bar on the safeties, T2 too is going the same way
I do hv a suboptimal diet and sleep tho, I described it at another post but basically i do my best, i do still seem to be making decent progress on other lifts
Yes i tried switching up sets x reps, i failed immediately on 6x2
What are ur suggestions on widening the stance? I was thinking maybe my stance is way too narrow
Form check - Barbell back squats (Updated Link for preview)
Have been stuck on the same weight since months, i have tried correcting my form but haven’t seen much difference

Thanks in advance :)
Should I quit strength/hypertrophy training? (16M)
I started more than a year ago, i used to be a fat fuck, however i lost weight and now am at a pretty decent one, however i would still be classified as ‘skinny fat’, however when it comes to gaining muscle, i cant seem to fucking do it, i m just a teen I cant fully optimize my diet or sleep schedule, my parents dont like me even going to the gym, I cant ask them to make meals with the perfect macros or get me a personal trainer
My 2 friends are at a similar situation to me, however they seem to be progressing fine, both in musculature and strength progression, i for some reason seem to be stuck, in everything, i have tried everything, mixing, reddit ppl, coolcicada ppl, but i have not been progressing for months, as suboptimal my stuff around the gym is i should be atleast progressing somewhat, I even tried creatine but with no results, i also get asked what the fuck do i even do in the gym because i hv nothing to show for it, i used to love going to the gym thats why i was so regular from the day it started, but now it just seems like a chore
These are my current stats Bench Press 50kg (3x5) OHP 35kg (3x5) Deadlifts (95kg)(1x5) Barbell rows 50kg (3x5) Squats 50kg (2x5)(1x3) These are from last week, these has been similar since OCT
I m seriously considering quitting, I have no fucking clue, i still look skinny fat, however nothing seems to work anyway, Id rather quit and do other productive stuff such as my studies
I have around a month left in my membership, i guess i will just do random ass machines to at-least get my moneys worth and machines wont injure me and are easier
