And this sucks because I use their whole-house VPN - the one that plugs into the local Wi-Fi router so you can bypass IT departments that lock-down your computer and/or phone where you cannot download any programs on it.

Guess I'm going VPN shopping - someone else for sure has something similar.



FYI=I moved to Surf shark from Express a couple of years ago, seemed to work better in Europe anyways. Though all of a sudden they occasionally send me through a Canadian service (closer than some of the US). They don't seem to know why
 
Kirby has UGA lawyers in court today to get a restraining order against Kirk Herbstreit to keep him away from Gunner Stockton.

This is a little to creepy. Hose Kirk down with some cold water. He is way too thirsty.

Gunner is going to win the Heisman though.


 


Roseanne Barr – Fired by ABC/Disney and her hit show Roseanne canceled overnight in 2018 after one tweet. Hundreds of cast and crew lost their jobs.

Gina Carano – Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for social media posts that didn’t fit the Left’s politics. Dropped by her agency too.

Megyn Kelly – Fired by NBC in 2018, her morning show canceled after comments about Halloween costumes.

Dave Chappelle – Netflix employees staged a walkout and demanded his comedy special be pulled for “transphobia.” The Left tried hard to cancel him.

Joe Rogan – The Left pressured Spotify to drop him, running coordinated campaigns and advertiser boycotts over COVID discussions.

Tucker Carlson – Taken off Fox News in 2023. Liberal activists bragged about advertiser pressure campaigns that helped force him out, costing thousands of downstream jobs.

Parler – Apple, Google, and Amazon colluded in 2021 to wipe the entire platform off the internet. Tens of thousands of small creators and businesses lost income overnight.

J.K. Rowling – Blacklisted from events, attacked by activists, and pressured out of projects for speaking her mind.

Mike Lindell – MyPillow pulled from major retailers, banned from Twitter, and targeted with advertiser boycotts.

Alex Jones – Simultaneously banned in 2018 by YouTube, Facebook, Apple, and Spotify. Coordinated erasure celebrated as a model for censorship.

Patterns are clear:Coordinated advertiser boycotts.

Public celebrations of people losing jobs and businesses.T

wo sets of rules — the Left can lie (Russia hoax, Covington kids smear, Jussie Smollett, etc.) and laugh about it, but the Right gets destroyed.

Accountability only ever goes one way. The Left has spent the last decade perfecting cancel culture, destroying jobs, nuking shows, wiping platforms off the internet, and laughing while people’s lives were ruined. But sure… Jimmy Kimmel smugly lying about a political assassination? Totally fine.
 


Guess who's trying to get them to walkout so she can steal their lunches. You know bitch doesn't walk anywhere

Just a humble brag on lifestyle change..

When I started focusing on my health I was up to 237 and could barely do 20 pushups.

Yesterday I was 218 and did 100 pushups for the day and 130 situps. I'm still not where I want to be cardio wise but I'm starting to get my muscle back and getting rid of the beer belly.

getting in shape can start with just doing a little bit and building toward a goal!

That's fantastic, man.

I've been on this wellness journey for about a year now. If you haven't already, sprinkle in 5g of creatine per day to aid in building muscle. When I started trying to improve my health, I aimed for 110g of protein per day. Now I shoot for 150g.

Pushups and situps are my primary exercises, too. Do some work with dumbbells, as well. I try and increase the number in my sets week over week. Up to 3 sets of 55 pushups and 3 sets of 50 situps at the moment. Stomach muscles used to get inflamed and sore but I think I've recently gotten over that hump.


Regarding cardio, I've started focusing more on building muscle and that is helping me with burning fat more than cardio was. I still try and walk 2.5 to 4 miles every day. Usually good for 6 out of 7 days a week on that goal.

And as always, less calories in vs calories burned is the way.

Yep. I started doing 10 pushups twice a day then moved up to 3 time a day and when that got easy I upped the morning pushups to 20. Then went to 20 20 10 then 20 20 20 then added another set of 10. I kind of feel like I could bust out more at this point but I'd pay for it at 51yo. LoL

In summer of 2024 I had a heart attack. Since then I've worked to clean up. The obvious was putting down the cigs for good, which wasn't even an issue after that even though I'd tried to quit a million times before. It wasn't even a thought much less a struggle, last nicotine I had was the day I had the heart attack. Since then I've focused on diet, exercise, & stress relief.

My diet:
Cut out sugars & carbs for the most part. Cut out processed foods for the most part. Cut out seed oils for the most part. Stopped looking at the nutrition labels so much, & looked at the ingredients. Even things like protein shakes you think are "good for you" are full of seed oils & preservatives a lot of fruit juices have added sugars in an already sugar rich product. The less ingredients the closer to a "whole food" the better. I take in meats, eggs, nuts, & fruits. Real butter, real olive oil, honey, etc. I also live by a 16/8 fast most days. From 8 at night till 12 at noon I have no foods from 12 noon till 8 at night I eat. Water/coffee only in the AM. Once you get used to it, it's easy & you don't even think about it. Starting Friday night until Sunday evening I eat what I want when I want but don't gorge. Also vacations I'm gonna eat what I want & when I want to for the most part. Weekends/vacations I'm gonna have a drink or six as well.

Exercise, light dumbells, pushups, sit ups, & squats enough for an old dude to get going. Sometimes multiple times a day. I''ve worked up to 200-500 reps at a time of mixed routine depending on how I'm feeling. Walking, walk almost everyday, 20-40 minutes then also walk for routine errands from my small town office to the bank or post office or wal greens, etc in between. Leave that phone behind and just walk to clear that head & get that blood pressure down.

Stress relief, the general exercise & walking are big stress relievers, regular sleep too, but this summer I've also made a point that when I'm doing yard work I'm barefoot (Im not using a push mower) & often without a shirt to get sun & feel that grass/dirt under my feet again. I work, but take my time. That phone stays inside & I don't think about that. I've a pool & take the time to actually get in it & swim around. I talk to God again these days, particularly when I'm walking.

I may die today, but I've felt better the last 9 months or so after recovery than I had for 10-15 years. Didn't even realize how bad I was feeling until I started working on those things & started feeling good again & it's really not that hard to do

That's a great story, brother! Keep at it! God bless you.
