  • Since it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.

    No that’s not true. You could train 3 times a week with 1 hour workouts and get a similar result as long as you’re consistent. 4 hours at the gym is too much time unless you take excessive rest periods and/or uses it as a social arena.

    It’s actually pretty funny to see a real power lifter next to a youtube-popular muscle builder, 1/4 the size, but can lift 4x as much.

    The strongest powerlifters are huge, and specify in only 3 movements. Take a powerlifter out of those 3 specific movements and bodybuilders doesn’t look all that bad.

    Steroids just make muscles that get in the way of utility. Rather than properly useful muscles.

    Strongmen are even bigger than bodybuilders and there’s no loss in “functional strength”/utility.

    Not a single part of you comment is accurate, are you into fitness/strength sports?














  • without any real say about them. You pay into the EU budget.

    As opposed to the miniscule say we would have as one of 28. It would hardly make much of difference if Germany or France wanted to push in a different direction, or if the budding dictatorship member state decides to veto.

    And again, what is there to gain to trade our sovereignty for? It would also make essentially impossible to ever decouple from EU if it starts going a direction we don’t want to follow.

    We budget ~5 billion dollar annually in foreign aid. The annual EEA “membership cost” between 2014 and 2021 was ~0,4 billion. The cost really isn’t much of a concern. And it’s not like you stop sending money to the EU once you become a member. E.g. Sweden is a net contributer to EU with 1,6 billion euros spent in 2023.

    It’s pretty good for us other nordics

    I’m happy for you, and not at all salty that we’ll never have Scandinavian union instead 😔
