Now I work out very regularly, I'm fairly muscular and lean and she's always asking me why on earth am I with her when (in her mind) my body is better than hers.\n\nIt's because I don't believe that's true. My point is, if you are feeling depressed because you think your man boobs make you unattractive then believe me, you are still going to find love. People fall in love with personality. \n\nI still maintain you should introduce exercise and good nutrition into your lifestyle because I 100% believe a lot of mental and physical issues can be made better if you give the body the lifestyle it needs. But saying that, you will still find people who think you are attractive and sexy. Believe me, sexiness is an attitude! \n\nGood luck on your journey bro.

They know it's not easy for a parent going through any sort of medical thing and when I was a new mom and spending every week at the hospital, they always checked up on me as well.\n\nBut yeah, you've got to be careful about getting inspiration from a children's hospital.

"> Just combining ratios make a pattern\n\nSince this may not make sense to those unfamiliar with the concept, here's an example. Let's imagine with the flower back when it was just a bud. It had two petals, each with a length of 1. Then, as the flower grew, the next petal was bigger with a length of 1+1=2. Then the next was even bigger with a length of 1+2=3, then 2+3=5, then 3+5=8...\n\n1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...\n\nThis is called the Fibonacci sequence which produces a Fibonacci spiral which approximates the Golden Ratio. The flower is a great example of this.\n\nI think the flower is amazing and the more I know about it the more amazing it becomes.\n",

But there's no proof that's the case, and even if it was it's still a win-win scenario.\n\nHappens all the time, but people gotta remember that the reason they are getting good PR is that they are doing something good. It's not getting free marketing for their new 4 pounds for 4 dollars special or whatever, it's getting free marketing for letting a kid come in and work out even though he can't afford to pay. It works as marketing only because other people see that and say, \"This gym has at least one guy working there is willing to show kindness to a kid and I like it when people are nice to kids, especially less fortunate ones.\"\n\nI mean, even if ALL corporations and businesses did ALL their charitable giving purely out of selfish motives...they are still charitably giving. And they are doing so because people reward a company that does good things with their dollars.\n\nIt only becomes a problem if some company like Nestlé starts giving away calculated sums at opportune times to cover up larger damage they are doing elsewhere. This gym isn't hurting anyone or doing anything shitty to begin with, so any good will they get from the public is a win for them and the kid working out is a win for the kid, so it's about as purely motivated an act as you can get from a business.",

Again, more than half of US kids are overweight, and a growing number becoming even obese. It's just wrong.\n\nIf you are overweight and in your middle ages, then the chance of hitting the gym is minimal. It happens, but few do it. If you are overweight and young, you feel insecure. Many try to hit the gym, most of them eventually stop by finding excuses (believe me, i know quite a bit about this field). Some do go through with it with excellent outcomes, and are happy afterwards. But this begs the question: Why do you eat so much? Even moderate consumption of junk food won't get you fat. I grew up with junk food, i lived alone since i was 15 (boarding school) and only ate cheap junk. But i moderated it. I didn't Overeat. By my 20's i started to develop beer belly, and then i suddenly decreased my intake. And it was gone in 3 months. \n\nIt's not hard. To eat moderately.",

I went to a town called Positano in Italy for 2 days and had to walk up and down 770 stairs to get to the beach in the morning and back up, that was a real killer.\n\nWhen I got back I didn't even notice I had lost weight until I weighed myself and realize how much I had lost and how little I had done.\n\nI made a few little changes like only drinking water and just trying to do 10 minutes of small exercises a day. A few months later I was down another 10 pounds.\n\nI went on a date with this gorgeous girl who was way out of my league at the time (or at least I thought). She was a track and field girl and although we didn't date long I realized how easy jogging just 1-2 miles a day is. Once you're in a rhythm it's nothing, it takes less time than one episode of any tv show and you actually feel more energized afterwards.\n\nFrom my Eurotrip in the middle of High School to Graduating college (about 6 years) I slowly lost 50+ lbs (~220 to 170), a little at a time with small life changes that are intrinsic to me now.\n\nThen 2 years ago I had to have a stomach surgery and it stressed me out so much that I got depressed and just sat around and ate all the time because I couldn't do anything else and I gained all the weight back in about 3 months.\n\nJust now starting to work it all off.

Additionally, in the KSA for example, they are not classified as refugees, but as 'Arab brothers and sisters in distress'. Such that they have access to basic healthcare, education, employment, and living. It would be good to go read around as well as many are still unsure on the exact figures.

"A New York Times article? That’s hardly scientific. Here are a few peer-reviewed sources. As I said, the research literature does not support the idea that resistance training is detrimental for kids.\n\n“Short term resistance training appears to have no effect on somatic, growth (height or weight) and body composition, and no proven positive influence on sports performance, injury rate or recovery from injury during preadolescence. Weighthfting has proved injurious to some children, especially when unsupervised and without instruction in proper weightlifting technique and load selection. In contrast, the risk of injury from prudently prescribed and closely supervised resistance training appears to be low during preadolescence. Lastly, short term resistance training appears to have no detrimental effect during preadolescence on either cardiorespiratory fitness or resting blood pressure.”\nSource: https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00007256-199315060-00004\n\n“This article builds on previous recommendations from the NSCA and should serve as the prevailing statement regarding youth resistance training. It is the current position of the NSCA that:\n\n1. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program is relatively safe for youth.\n\n2. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can enhance the muscular strength and power of youth.\n\n3. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can improve the cardiovascular risk profile of youth.\n\n4. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can improve motor skill performance and may contribute to enhanced sports performance of youth.\n\n5. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can increase a young athlete's resistance to sports-related injuries.\n\n6. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can help improve the psychosocial well-being of youth.\n\n7. A properly designed and supervised resistance training program can help promote and develop exercise habits during childhood and adolescence.”\nSource: http://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2009/08005/Youth_Resistance_Training_Updated_Position.2.aspx\n\n“Scientific evidence indicates that resistance training results in increased serum IGF-I and that there is no detrimental effect on linear growth. Finally, numerous studies have demonstrated that with appropriate supervision and precautions, resistance training can be safe and effective for children and adolescents.”\nSource: http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/16437017\n\n“Current research indicates that resistance training can be a safe, effective and worthwhile activity for children and adolescents provided that qualified professionals supervise all training sessions and provide age-appropriate instruction on proper lifting procedures and safe training guidelines.”\nSource: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/44/1/56.short\n\n“Many recent studies have reported that resistance training can be effective in producing strength gains among prepubescents. These studies appear to refute the early claims of ineffectiveness of resistance training in children.”\nSource: https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00007256-199622030-00004\n\n“The results demonstrate that among prepubertal boys, a twice-weekly low-to-moderate-intensity resistance training program over a period of 2 school years (21 months) can result in enhancement in muscle strength with no detrimental effect on growth.”\nSource: https://journals.humankinetics.com/doi/abs/10.1123/pes.13.4.357\n\n“The risk of injury appears low during participation in a resistance training program, and this risk is minimized with proper supervision and instruction. Furthermore, with the incidence of injury in youth sports, participation in a resistance training program may provide a protective advantage in one’s preparation for sports participation.”\nSource: https://journals.humankinetics.com/doi/abs/10.1123/pes.1.4.336",

Not to fuel a stereotype, but homeless people who aren't dealing with an addiction to drugs or debilitating mental illness typically don't stay homeless long. (This DOES NOT mean that every homeless person is an addict or unstable.)\n\nNow, that's an absolutely ideal scenario where a person has a case manager to help them get access to these services and assistance programs, but even those who aren't getting services can beg for $10 (or more) within an hour in most cities. \n\nIf you didn't know, the vast majority of shelters kick you out in the morning.

"[Here's some actual data](https://blog.upstart.com/lowest-cost-per-calorie-foods/). White rice, oatmeal and pasta are indeed cheap or somewhat cheap. White rice, however, is not really \"healthy\" from a weight loss viewpoint; it has a high glycemic index. Pasta and oatmeal are not realistically eaten by themselves, so the cost of a meal including them can be more expensive. Additionally, the cheapest kind of pasta also has a high glycemic index and so may contribute to weight gain regardless. Frozen vegetables are not cheap.\n\nThe healthiest foods (things like brown rice, fish, chicken breast, fresh fruits and vegetables) are indeed expensive.\n\nIn America, there is also the compounding situation of poorer citizens having to work long hours at one or more jobs. This means they have less time to cook for themselves and possibly any children. So they resort to inexpensive *and* quick and easy foods like ramen which tend to be unhealthy. Overall, increased wealth lends itself to a healthier diet.",

We propagated modern medicine which led to less infant (and mother) mortality, but we also tried to sell them birth control and family planning. We suggested They adjust their cultural norms to fit the new paradigm. They wanted none of it and brushed it off as cultural insensitivity or even covert racism. Now they're overcrowded which leads to wars, oppressive governments and widespread poverty.\n\nYes I want a better world, but they did the opposite of what they were suggested to do.

"I'm living in Europe and can therefore give you an explanation about what this uncontrolled immigrants does. In the last 20-30 years, whole towns were filled with immigrants to the point where the indigenous population became a minority. Today, it is obvious that this has created no good. No attempt at getting immigrants from 3rd world countries has really worked. The vast majority of them will remain dependent on social aid. If they find work, it is mostly in low qualified, low earning jobs. They have made no attempt at assimilation or even just integration into the countries they came to. There are parts of Berlin or Vienna, where you can go through the streets for a day and not hear a single german word. This form of immigration is ousting european cultures and replacing them with islamic countersocietes. In those areas, you rarely see women on the streets.\n\nThe mass immigration since 2015 has basically accellerated all these problems. At least it became possible to discuss openly about these problems. And it turns out, that noone is for bringing millions of people into the country, who will remain dependent on financial transfers for the rest of their lifes. Any claims, that it would be possible to integrate them into the labour market with possibly even positive results appear illusionary as it turns out that there is not only a high share of analphabets among these immigrants but that any attempts to teach them the local languages keep failing. In General, it seems, as if islamic immigrants are not only fine with keeping their cultures, costums and languages, but actively oppose european culture and values. The issue of islamic terrorism is just the the top of political islam establishing itself in Europe.\n\nTwo years after 2015, those who vocally supported immigration are gone from the political stage. The recent elections saw right wing parties winning, while i.e. the Austrian Green Party was voted out of the parliament. The reasons for this are obvious - the criminal statistics ([Austria, in German](http://bundeskriminalamt.at/501/start.aspx)) show the rise of criminality, that is directly attributed to the mass immigration since 2015. European towns got a form of gang criminality, that you can not overlook when passing public places like the Praterstern station or the West station of Vienna. u/Son_of_York lives, according the his post history in Arizona. There, he may not have experienced the consequences of this form of immigration. There is nothing wrong with beeing naive and wanting to see something positive. However, it is exactly people with this kind of mentality whom i have seen getting angry about [what things are comming to](https://www.timesofisrael.com/kosher-shops-near-paris-torched-on-anniversary-of-supermarket-attack/) and turning to and voting right wing parties despite disagreeing with most of their programme but the promise to stop and revert this mass immigration.",

Eight months after a boat carrying hundreds of migrants sank off the coast of Lampedusa, killing more than 360 people and spurring an international outcry, the flow of migrants risking the perilous sea journey to Europe shows no signs of letting up. Already this year, the number of migrants arriving by boat on Italyís shores has surpassed 40,000, the total number of migrants that arrived in 2013. Earlier this month, Italy said it rescued some 5,200 people in the span of just four days. Officials there warn that many more will die without broader support from across Europe. Tens of thousands of refugees and migrants make the journey to Europe annually, departing from dozens of countries in Africa and the Middle East, according to the European Parliament. In recent years, Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country have joined the ranks of Eritreans, Sudanese and Somalis looking for a better life, the UN said in April."

Liberals(even many in the middle of the road) were brutal - calling everyone a racist if they voted for Trump or in the very least supported the republican ticket.\n3.)

Some people thought it was a way to throw a wrench/F you into the system.\n5.) All of the candidates that we were spoon fed were not great either.\n\n\nI can come up with more if you'd like, but those are definitely why people voted the way they did. \n\nConservatives can be frustrating as hell too, but there is no question that the worst of the Liberals do the part no good.

What if someone you don't agree with gets in? What if someone shitty gets in? Now he has EVEN MORE power.\n\nSo in a lot of ways, especially according to Liberals saying Trump is a disaster. Well maybe don't give the government so much power?\n\nJust because programs get cut doesn't mean there can't be a better version done outside of the Gov't.",

The last military funeral I attended had a whopping two police motorcycle escorts instead of the usual one, and I don't remember if the honor guard was riding in a humvee or just an SUV. But I've also seen processions flanked by well wishers with signs/flags, firetrucks, news crews, and full columns of police motorcycles. Although those were all young active duty folks.\n\nConsidering this was a WWII vet on his way to a national cemetery, while I'd think it unlikely to have been a huge spectacle with crowds and news coverage (prior to this picture, at least) they probably had at least one obvious military vehicle for the honor guard. Probably more likely the trucker got word over the radio from someone behind him that a funeral procession was moving up I-70, maybe there was a humvee and they put two and two together.",

Obviously he did, since he pulled over and put his hand on his heart. In addition to that, why wouldn't he just salute him too? Show proper respect? Sure, the hand on the heart is fine for baseball games and on base before the movies play. But for a funeral procession?\n\nSo no. Why don't you get fucked?",

">Is this solely an American thing?\n\nIt might be, but I don't think so. Though the US has a lot of weird traffic norms you should follow. \n\nIn the US there are often slow-driving funeral possessions that people stop for. There are people who ignore them, but this is considered an absolutely super dick move. In other words, you could show up to work late and be like \"funeral procession\" and that's more okay than say passing one or speeding by one at the normal speed limit. \n\nSimilarly, you pull over for emergency vehicles and try to make yourself as much out of the way as possible. This actually has fines attached to it in different parts of the US, but even if it didn't, you're again a huge dick if you don't do it. \n\nSimilarly still, but not as intense, you pull one lane over if you notice a car on the shoulder coming up. \n\nThe US also has the [\"Jeep Code\" or \"Jeep Wave\"](https://jeeps.thefuntimesguide.com/jeep_wave/) that you should abide by, along with other things. \n\nIf you get surprised by a lane closing and have to cram yourself in to the adjacent, nearly full lane, you should give a \"hey thanks\" salute by raising your right arm vertically after a car lets you in. \n\nIf you're driving one direction and see a speed trap set up for the opposite traffic, you can warn them with a double blink of your high beams. This used to be state-by-state, but I believe now federal judges have ruled this is within free speech and your right to do. \n\nEven without speed traps, if you see a car that should have its lights on and it doesn't, you should flash your lights at it. I've even had cops not pull me over, but wiggle their spotlight at me a bunch until I got the message and flipped the switch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n",

That would be just about the dumbest move in history, but that isn't because of our standing military, it's simply because of our geographic location in the world. There is no way for any country's military to successfully invade a country that is bordered by two oceans on its east, and west with close allies adorning both it's north, and south. It's impossible unless either Canada, or Mexico decided to invade us for whatever reason.\n\nThat, and if someone were to attack is by bombing which is the only scenario they would try, our military surely isn't going to invade them as they would have had to do before. We'd either bomb them back to the 2nd century, or turn their entire country to glass with nukes, neither of which require a large military force. \n\nThe truth about our military is that it now exists only to keep a stranglehold on the international US hegemony which is just god awful considering these soldiers are sent to be killed believing an abhorrent lie.\n\nTo be clear, I am not anti-military. I respect the shit out of anyone who laces up those boots with noble intentions.

"[Here](https://twitter.com/amanda_curtis/status/590469469467729920) is the source of this image. Credit to the photographer, Amanda Curtis, who [took this in Glen Cove, N.Y. on April 21, 2015](http://time.com/3830200/quadruple-rainbow-photo/).\n\nAccording to [here](https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150422-quadruple-double-rainbow-quaternary-tertiary-rain-atmosphere-science/):\n\n> The photo of the \"quadruple rainbow\" that's taking the Internet by storm doesn't actually show a quadruple rainbow. The phenomenon is technically two double rainbows.\n\n> Commuter Amanda Curtis spun the Internet into a tizzy by posting a photograph of four rainbows shining in the sky above the Glen Cove (map) train station on New York's Long Island. Though some on social media expressed skepticism about the phenomenon, experts agree that getting four rainbows at once in close proximity is entirely possible.\n\n> \"What you're really seeing is two offset double rainbows,\" says Raymond Lee, a meteorologist at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, referring to the picture from Long Island. \n\n> The two brighter ones are the primary and secondary rainbows. The fainter pair that appears higher in the sky is the result of sunlight reflected off of a body of water behind the photographer, Lee says. A quick search shows two bays that could have done the trick—Oyster Bay or Hempstead Bay, the meteorologist explains.\n\n> A rainbow forms when sunlight enters raindrops in the atmosphere and is reflected back out. A double rainbow occurs when sunlight left over from that initial reflection comes back through the raindrops a second time.",
