It matters. He needs a new supplier after his buddy offed himself.

My question was directed at this statement:

It’s frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it’s not too late to do something about it.

I’m implying that the powerful do nothing to help the Palestinians because they have nothing to gain out of it. Just like all the other countries with starving people and wars going on that don’t get much coverage. They will suffer and die because the powerful people have decided they are not worth saving.

Just to play devil’s advocate, how does helping benefit the powerful people?

I don’t disagree, everyone will take care of their own, but if China wants to be a true world power, it can’t just focus inward and ignore everyone else.

Biden fucked it up.

You must really love your wife haha. Seriously, try to enjoy the concert. You’re already going, so you might as well try to enjoy yourself.

Does China care about anyone else other than themselves?

What band / singer?

Bolsonaro has the Epstein client list.

You’re absolutely right, crimes of this scale almost defy comprehension, and trying to weigh them feels both necessary and impossible. It’s horrific to realize this is all happening in real time, in front of us yet, as unthinkable as Gaza is, it’s tragically not isolated. Places like Sudan and Mali etc are also facing famine and conflict, often unfold off the front page. It’s overwhelming, but I believe that bearing witness, and refusing to look away even when our understanding falls short, is still essential.

It would definitely be up there if the numbers were number of deaths to population ratio.

It’s like watching someone getting beaten with a baseball bat in public, in full view of everyone … and everyone gave that someone a spiked baseball bat

Just made a slight correction there.

If no one is in charge then he’s in charge.

I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.

This conversation has gone sideways really fast. I’m confused.

Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we’re going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

Three times? I’d switch trainers as they’re not respecting the time I’m paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he’s just driving in at 5 past, it’s gonna be closer to 10 past before he’s actually training you. He’s not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he’s stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don’t respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I’m always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She’s good and I like the location, so I don’t complain.

All valid points, but I’m going to give him another shot, just because he’s a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

Warm up stretches.

I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym’s back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that’s part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.

He woke up late, won’t happen again etc etc. I’ve got 4 trainers with the gym because I do 6 days a week but only 1 guy is always late. It’s also distracting when we’re working out and he runs off to swich machines on in the middle of a rep. They always want me to commit 100+ hours each time I renew and paid upfront, so I guess being punctual is not too much to ask. In a way waking up at 6am everyday prepping for gym requires some discipline, I expect no less from the trainers.

He’ll improve for sure, until the English Premier League starts and Arsenal (his team) plays a late (+7) game on Sunday / Monday morning, then I’ll need to have a conversation with the gym manager again.

Now he just needs Putin and Ramzan to nominate him.

Yea just did a couple of minutes ago.
