Depends who's the arbiter of truth. Still propaganda

More people seem to be choosing child free living because of the state of the world and economy rn. I don't blame them.

  1. Indigenous

  2. Latine

  3. White / European

  4. Black / African

  5. MENA: Middle Eastern / North Africa

  6. Central Asian

  7. South Asian

  8. East Asian

  9. Southeast Asian

  10. Pacific Islander

I can't be the only one who wondered what cytosol tastes like when we read about it in class...

Toronto : Eglington.. Oh wait.

 

Hi everybody.

I'm sorry if my question is really weirdly specific. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time.

You ever see those movies, where people live in this techno-future dystopia, skyscrapers and traffic clogged freeways, car - centric urban planning with no greenery, no trees, think of like Times Square NYC, hyper capitalist neolib dystopia kind of thing.

You see in those movies, the main character (a socially detached loner) depressed, part of the reason is not just a horribly atomized and superficial Society, but the other reason is the wretched urban planning and brutalist architecture.

I think there's been a few articles already on the importance of good architecture for creating a more "communal" mental effect for the people in the town.

I'm wondering if you guys found any articles or essays on the importance of specifically good urban planning (I already read about architecture). Stuff about how car centric urban planning atomizes the individual, ruins the social fabric, ruins the communal mentality, etc.. Sociological stuff.

If you do, please comment. I'd love to read.

Need help targeting wrists (self.naturalbodybuilding)
 

Hi everybody,

I've recently been trying to target some areas of my body that are very skinny.

I noticed the area around my wrists specifically look disproportionate and nothing I do can make this area bigger.

Sam Sulek said that for the back area of the forearms, you can do the seated reverse dumbbell wrist curls (which is ok for the far back of forearms). For hand grip strength, I can use a grip strength trainer.

However, in between my hand and my forearm (the wrist is the in between area) I can't figure out what to do to grow that area.

The exercises I do only target the farside of my forearms. I can't grow my wrist area or wrist adjacent area.

Any tips?

The gist of it: with each passing decade there's a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn't showing up.

I've seen a few articles in the past few years about young men supposedly checking out of society and work, I wonder if there is a connection between that and this article here because young men tend to be the prime demographic for working this job.

Companies need to pay their workers better.
