Open Thread (with Lots of Content) & GAINZZZ Thread

I figure the thing that's best here is the Making of Red Dawn (the original) featurette, also embedded below, but linked here in case you can't see it below.

Other stuff:

She seems nice.

In Australia, there's a controversy over the Australian Football League putting out a statement that it, as a corporation, supports same sex marriage. The question is, as it is here: Who the hell are these people to tell ticket-buying fans what they ought to think about a political issue?

Shock: CNN is barely covering the Menendez trial on the actual channel (though there is some scattered coverage on its doesn't-even-matter website), and the networks have almost entirely suppressed the story.

Why aren't the media and other leftist propaganda organs actually covering Valerie Plame's antisemitism? They covered the shit out of, say, Steve Bannon's alleged antisemitism, but for some reason have decided that the proven and longstanding antisemitism of a former CIA officer making decisions about Middle East policy, and influencing US opinion, just aren't worth much exploration, for some reason.

Here's the second-most obvious answer, apart from simple tribal allegiance and partisan bias: Because antisemitism has been thoroughly mainstreamed on the political left, far more that it has been on the right.

Go figure: Leftists decree that having a child is the worst possible decision you could make, both for yourself and The Planet.

Amusingly, here's the related story this bullshit site suggests you might also be interested in:

But ignore that. For the Anti-Human Left, the Human Voluntary Self-Extinction Project outweighs all other concerns.

They really are Agent Smith -- they really do want an end to the human race.

I meant to link this earlier, but John Sexton has written it up for us: Leaked emails show the full madness at Evergreen State College, with lots of professors complaining they are being threatened, harassed, and stalked by "Social Justice" Warriors. All of whom were permitted to take over the campus, vigilante style, by the administration, with cops ordered to stand down.

And then crazed lunatics had a free hand to impose their own weird "justice" on the Filthy Normals.

Oh, and speaking of college madness, you might enjoy Hilary Clinton Absolver James Comey being disrupted at a (planned) college address for 16 minutes.

Oh, and Jimmy Kimmel, who cheerled John McCain in his latest betrayal and lies, of course got coached up on his Obamacare talking points by Chuck Schumer.

Below, that Red Dawn making-of featurette, and then a short GAINZZZ entry.

What Have You Done to Make the World a GAINZZZier Place Today?

On my front, I've been getting wiped out by too few rest days. Plus, trying to run a low-carb caloric deficit (I think; I don't count calories) while doing so.

So I've started eating more, and eating some carbs, hoping that I'll at least have the energy to do the workouts I'm trying to do.

I don't know if that'll work. I should start taking more Glutamine (which supposedly aids recovery), but I haven't started that yet.

On the GAINZZZ front, eating more, and eating more carbs, has resulted in... well, I do have lifting GAINZZZ, but I'm also putting on fat-weight too. Not a lot, but I'm not seeing any LOZEZZZ.

I've repeatedly read (or heard) it's impossible to try to both gain and lose weight at the same time -- which I realize looks pretty obvious -- and that you have to choose one or the other, and I think I'm finding out that's about right.

I might have to try something like "eat more six days a week, but then fast one day." That's what I'm doing today.

Coincidentally -- I forgot about this guy until today -- this guy suggests doing something like that, which he calls the "Snake Diet" (because you eat a lot, then you don't eat for days) and recommends drinking an electrolyte-rich drink he calls "Snake Juice." Basically, he suggests One Meal a Day plus the weekly 48 hour fast, or some fuckin' shit like that.

He begins every video with the greeting, "HEY FATTIE!," I guess as a motivational tool, which.. well, it kinda works, I guess. Starting off a video "HEY FATTIE!!!" really doesn't sugar-coat it much.

Now, to be honest, I'm not sure that I trust this guy's advice -- though I've done a lot of the stuff he suggests -- but I do find him amusing:

I found this guy when I was searching for the right proportions of electrolytes to water, after my own bouts of deydration.

i'm not endorsing this at all. Just saying, hey, he's... well, he's different, that's for sure.

If you want to know his recipe for an electroylte-replenishing concoction, well then, HEY FATTIE!!!, here's his fuckin' recipe for Snake Fuckin' Juice.

Here's a fuckin' testimonial by a FATTIE who failed his FUCKIN' SNAKE DIET because her fuckin' hormones were ALL FUCKED UP AND SHIT!!!

If you want to yelled at some fuckin' more, here:

By the way, I really, really, really would caution anyone from following his advice on dry fasting -- that is, fasting and also not drinking water.

You need more water when you fast, not less.

I like the idea of his Only Eat Bacon For 30 Days Challenge (and only eat it in that one meal a day 2 hour eating window), and I might try a bacon and eggs only sort of one meal a day challenge, but not dry, as he suggests.

I collapsed from dehydration, and had bad dehydration effects (averted from drinking a lot of water) another time. I'd really go nowhere near the dry fast.
