I def gotta try this. My goto for last several weeks has been chicken, rice and broc. I need to change things up.
Notice that some row 6 times a week. I am incorporating more indoor rowing into my routine and I'm trying to lie to myself and tell myself that I'm as fit as a college athlete.
I'm not. Yet.
This is where my dilemma about "overtraining" comes in.
So at my previous job, I was literally right beside an Olympic Training Center—close enough that athletes would knock on my window and wave. We shared a common area for lunch, so I got to spend a lot of time around them.
These athletes trained every single day, all day. Sure, they varied their routines, intensity, and rest, but they never skipped a day. And even their "light" workouts would kick my ass.
Some might argue that Olympic athletes are just genetically predisposed to handle such a workload. But from talking to them, they didn't really think that was the case. They felt that the genetic part came into play for hand/eye coordination, height, bodycomp, balance, etc. But not training intensity, they felt that was just mental.
Now, I train every day too—though not always at full intensity, but pretty close. Then I think of other examples like construction workers or inmates who put in hard physical work day in and day out. I know of inmates who spent every single day working out while serving time.
Medically, there’s definitely a point where too much training can become harmful. But I think it's a lot harder to reach that point than people often assume.
That said, I’m not a doctor, so don’t take my word as advice. Always do what works best for your own body and well-being.
Fuck universal, that’s not the issue.
Hey now! lol
But yeah, to your point, I agree that any bots that ban, also need to notify. Especially since it's a bot, and it's automated, so it's not like it would be much harder to do than the auto-banning. And I don't routinely check modlogs before I post to a community.
This particular bot--if I understand correctly--auto bans based on someone's downvotes, not necessarily on content. Even if those downvotes happened on another instance. Which to me, seems even worse, because some people can be right, even tho downvoted.
The issue started because I had no idea I was banned, and I accidentally posted to the community.
Apparently, it banned my same username from another instance that I was on. My time on that instance was pre-election, so in the weeks leading to it, Lemmy was quite um, passionate about downvoting anyone who wasn't openly supporting Harris.
But I haven't been controversial or posted any controversial content from this slrpnk instance. And I do not have the same downvote ratio on this instance because I stay away from politics here--except for the post to his community. Which was about Bernie Sanders--who I adore.
But the username thing may be an issue in the future too, because some people's usernames are generic enough that that as we grow bigger, duplicates may be used unintentionally on different instances.
So banning based on downvotes of a user name on different instances, without reading content, seems problematic to me.
I have no problem with him running it in his community tho. His community, his rules, but the noise started because I had no idea what was going on until he posted this here.
But I definitely got the point, and won't be posting to his community in the future.
I hope that there won't be many communities doing the same sort of bot modding though.
"Unsalted Counter Info." That is a great freakin' name. I wish I would have known about them when I lived in the midwest. That would have been cool to be a part of when I was growing up.
And I didn't even know the zine world was still a thing. I have a whole new rabbit hole to fall down now.
This is great and super interesting. I'd still be afraid to eat them tho.
OMG! Yes!! lololol
Ok, thank you! I'm retiring in a few months, and I think I will jump right into this stuff. So I'll keep an eye out. :)
Part of the point of the violation here is that, if someone’s already blocked your name, they now have to do it again for three new accounts, until you make more beyond those three.
Which takes two seconds. I know because I've blocked several people. It's not that difficult and I think site-wide banning because of opinions you don't like is bad form. Avoiding that is the entire point of the fediverse.
But like I said, you and I have resolved our issues. We can move on.
Modlog, search for “harassing.”
And no examples. I still have no clue what they determined to be harassing. I got many nasty dm's and would reply in kind, but I don't see how that is harassing. Plus I'm quite aware that DM's aren't private. But again, their instance and their rules.
Not for your behavior on the previous instances exactly, but for starting up the same behavior from new accounts since you’d already been banned for it, which is against the rules.
Which we have already discussed wasn't done on this instance, in your community or any other instance. It's again, your assumption.
Really, let's just end it here. You obviously think I'm a troll. I disagree. That's ok. Let's agree to disagree.
I won't be posting to your community, now I know how your bot works, and we can just move on. Thank you.
I think some of it was for DM harrassment or posting fan fiction about other people on Lemmy.
Again, assumption. And no, none of that ever happened. Think about it, if that happened and I am so hated, wouldn't there be ample evidence and screen shots about that? People on that instance hated me with a passion! And I gave you links to the mod log of that community.
And the "fan fiction" wasn't fan fiction at all. I don't even know where that term came from. lol
I created a community of creepy pulpy horror tales that tie into Lemmy. I have no idea why anyone would say it was fan fiction or anything of the sort.
It was me writing fun pulpy horror tales. NONE of it was about anyone specific on Lemmy. I parodied the ATTITUDES of Lemmy. Here's the link to the community: https://sh.itjust.works/c/talesfromthecrypticlemmy
Your participation in previous politics communities was incredibly obnoxious.
Which has nothing to do with your community or this instance. People can easily block my name and never see or hear me ever again.
I’m not trying to be mean about it, and I’m not upset or anything.
Good to know, maybe I missed the tone in your text. I def took it as you were trying to ban me from this instance, lemm.ee, and sh.itjust.works because of what you thought of my previous behavior on an instance that I was banned from weeks ago. Since you are writing to all of the admins there.
If you’re interested in changing how you contribute so that you’re a net positive to the community, let’s talk.
I have already started a community on here. And I may switch my Tales from the Crytpic Lemmy to here as well. Especially after this conversation. And since I am finishing up a horror tale involving a solar power relay.
But again, I won't be posting to your community, mainly because of all this drama that happened.
I wish no ill will towards you. I think you have a great community idea. After this experience, I can not say I support your robotic mod though. I doubt I will be the first confused person to run afoul of it.
But I do wish you the best of luck with it.
So I have a huge crush on Lolo Jones. Even tho she never won the olympics, I still love her badass attitude and how she kept trying over and over.
But one of the things that frustrates me, is that most articles concentrate on her looks, and I can't find any real detailed workout routines that she did back in her prime.
I'm still looking, but this article is ok, until I find something more substantial.
