So... Just finished watching #DhurandharTheRevenge. Still gasping for air.... #Dhurandhar2 is more Nationalistic, Explosive & Gripping than the 1st part. Even the performances are more stellar. Yes, the narrative is convenient & some instances look far-fetched.. but they're easily overlooked as the movie takes you on a NEVER-WITNESSED-BEFORE roller-coaster...

Why does Ironmouse do Subathons all the time? Well, I think money is definitely a big factor, along with the reality that a large portion of that money will also be donated to the IDF... the Immune Deficiency Foundation. On top of needing it for her treatments, I think at some point that money will also someday lead to discoveries for better therapeutics. More eyes, more funding in the future, a possible cure someday. But some of the other stated reasons are just kinda sad. Subathons mean being online for long stretches of time, which is the only time she gets to interact with people, even if it's just through a screen. One of the stated reasons for her starting streaming is because she was deathly lonely. She has done some pretty shitting things throughout her career as a VTuber and screwed over a lot of people. People aren't purely good or evil, but for someone like her, the contrast is created through sheer desperation. Will I ever be a "fan" again? Probably not. Not that I was much of one, but I did have more favorable opinions of her in the past. But that doesn't mean that I hate her or that I wish the worst for her. Being sick, lonely, and trapped doesn't give license to treat people poorly in underhanded ways, but I do genuinely hope that whatever effort she does towards CVID actually ends up helping a lot of people with the same condition. And if you are still a fan, I don't blame you either. The fandom is toxic and often unhinged, but I also get it. The fans are protecting their "fragile sick queen," but at the same time, that toxic energy gets cringe quickly. As I said before... It's a life I don't wish even for my worst enemies.

There is not a muscle on the body that needs high reps to see its best growth. This is basic physiology. Yes, muscles vary in their ratio of slow to fast twitch fibres. It doesn't matter, for two reasons: 1. Slow twitch fibres reach their ceiling early. They are not the limiting factor. 2. As you approach failure, every fibre is recruited regardless. The body does not leave capacity sitting idle when it thinks it's about to fail. Here is what actually drives hypertrophy: involuntary slow contractions. The point in a set where the concentric is grinding, the bar speed is dropping, and the muscle is being forced to recruit everything it has just to complete the rep. That is mechanical tension. That is the growth signal. It only exists in the final five or so reps before failure. Everything before that is your body coasting on the fibres it was already using. Some muscles tolerate high reps better than others. Calves are the classic example. But tolerating junk reps is not the same as benefiting from them. It just means the damage is less visible. The reps are still junk. If you are living in the 8-plus rep range, most of your set is happening nowhere near that zone of involuntary contraction. You are accumulating fatigue, impairing recovery, reducing training frequency, and spending more time under the bar: in exchange for a growth stimulus you could have captured in a fraction of the reps. More reps past the point of failure proximity is not more stimulus. It is just more cost.

The current state of the Islamic Republic is quite strange. From a social restrictions perspective, it is utterly incomparable to when I was young or even 5 years ago. This goes far beyond people choosing to mass defy hijab laws - the restrictions against things like mixed dancing, concerts, music festivals, rave like atmospheres, drinking, recreational drugs, and all sorts of out of marriage sexual relationships are dissolved to a unrecognizable very low bar compared to the past. No it's not Turkey or Dubai (yet) and yes people still do get in trouble frequently (particularly businesses who host things - which is why you'll go to high end restaurants where everything is happening and they don't care but they'll immediately stop you if you take a picture out of fear it will go viral). But the cat is out of the bag. In every corner of the country the rules are flagrantly defied. Not just in cute underground parties at some well connected kid's house or some hippies doing drugs in a desert 3 hours from the city - no very much in the open, often advertised on social media, and not hidden at all (both videos are from the last month - the second video is in Shiraz). This was unthinkable just a few years ago. On the other hand the political atmosphere is currently closed at a level I don't remember other than the first few months after the 2009 election. It resembles the Islamic Republic of the late 80s more than what we've seen for most of my life. And from an international relations perspective all caution & restraint are gone and you see the most extremist elements (who ironically were kept in check by the older Khamenei who mistrusted them just as much as he mistrusted liberals) increasingly running the show, eagerly acting in a way that I struggle to describe in anyway other than delusional insanity. The economy is shattered to a level in which even the upper middle class are struggling to make ends meet, let alone the poor who are living through unthinkable conditions. This is a very different Islamic Republic from the "normal" baseline my generation is used to. Quality of life continues to nosedive at a horrendous level. Uncertainty is everywhere. External attacks are no longer a fear but a near daily reality. It is increasingly unclear who (if anyone) is in charge and what direction they are trying to steer the country in. The current situation might last for a bit as a transition state, but it is very difficult to imagine something this unstable, with so many contradictions, and this reckless, being durable. At some point very soon something will have to give. It can't last forever like this.
