I was thinking along those lines—reaching out to my primary care physician to request some blood work. My blood pressure stays steady, and honestly, the sauna is great for me. I don't plan on cutting it out unless a test shows something concerning. It improves my circulation, clears up my skin, and makes me feel lighter. Plus, it helps with joint pain.
Chiropractic care has been a huge help with my lower back. I don't wake up feeling "heavy," like I have an axe lodged in my spine. After doing pull-ups for a week, I actually felt like I was floating at first because that lower back ache had vanished.
My workout intensity is pretty standard, nothing extreme. I hit it 3-4 times a week: one day is push-ups and dips, then two days later I do pull-ups and lower back exercises, followed by a leg day with squats. Each session includes a couple of one-minute plank sets. On other days, I either do cardio, like jump rope, or hit the sauna.
I don't use steroids, nor have I ever. As far as supplements go, I just take Zinc and Magnesium. I used protein powder for a very short period a long time ago, but I stopped; that was at least 4 or 5 years ago.
Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with severe neck pain for several months now.
I’ve been into fitness for about six years, and during heavy lifts, I’ve picked up quite a few injuries. Between pull-ups and deadlifts, I think my neck took a beating; I’ve also dealt with issues in my knees and shoulders.
Lately, though, there’s this strange pain where I can’t even breathe through my mouth without this "sternothyroid" area (image: https://www.google.com/search?q=neck...unknown:) hurting intensely, like it's trying to push its way out. My head feels incredibly heavy, and I’m experiencing weakness, memory lapses, and poor concentration. Sleep is difficult, and sometimes the veins in my neck down to my traps pulse so hard it feels like everything is clogged.
The back of my neck is so stiff and painful that when I start warming up at the gym and rotate my head, I get dizzy, which has never happened before. Around this time last year, I was involved in an altercation and suffered a mild concussion. A few months ago, I was also stung by a bee on the back of my neck and had to go to the ER because of an allergic reaction. Could these incidents be connected?
I’ve also noticed I’m sweating excessively. My forehead gets incredibly greasy, especially in this heat. I thought it might be the coffee, but I don't drink much—just two large mugs with three small spoonfuls of black coffee a day. I train 3-4 times a week and hit the sauna once a week for four sets of 10-15 minutes, using menthol crystals to help detox and clear my sinuses.
What are your thoughts? I'm worried this might be something serious. While the bone injuries make sense given how much I push myself with weights, this other part is starting to scare me. I also spend a lot of time sitting at my computer during the day, usually with pretty poor posture. Two weeks ago, I saw a female chiropractor. I hoped she could adjust my neck, but since I didn't have any imaging yet, she just worked on my back. She told me to come back with scans before we tackle the neck.
Should I see a neurologist, or should I get an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan? My current doctor is just a temporary replacement, and honestly, she seems completely out of touch. When I mentioned I take > as a supplement, she looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about. It feels like she’s disinterested and just waiting to clock out...
SWEDISH MULTICULTURALISM AT A CROSSROADS Despite massive investments of both time and money, integrating hundreds of thousands of migrants is proving to be a monumental challenge
Raymond Mitchell5 said:Without exception, Francuz stands as the finest judge on that entire bench, being the only one capable of properly interpreting the facts; the rest are merely pathetic Soros mercenaries tasked with manufacturing such falsehoods, individuals for whom Christianity—much like it is for Muslims—remains the primary adversary. This explains why they act as the most fervent advocates for mass Muslim migration into Europe. We have witnessed this Faustian alliance between Soros-style liberals and Muslims before, back during World War II, when the greatest criminal in history, Hitler, formed a coalition with Muslims, sharing with these modern liberals a mutual enmity toward both Christianity and Israel, as well as the Jewish people... Prlić is a thief and a bad man, certainly, but he is no war criminal. Not once among the six defendants was a direct link to any crime ever proven, which is precisely why they resorted to the fabrication of the UZP, because under that framework, you can convict anyone for anything at all... unless, of course, you are dealing with the far superior and only sane judge on the tribunal, who is none other than Francuz.
Man, this guy is weird. One time he tried to give just a partial opinion, which makes no sense at all.
He thinks Šešelj’s acquittal is top-tier too. No evidence, no systematic killing, no calling out persecution, etc., etc.
With a guy like him, no one would ever be convicted.
The UZP is a disaster, obviously. It was designed to punish anyone when there is no direct culprit, which is a fundamental flaw of the tribunal.
Honestly, we should probably just start a dedicated thread for The Hague where we dissect and chew over every verdict that matters to us.
Honestly, that French judge is completely incompetent. As for Prlić, he's a fool and a traitor who deserves every bit of this punishment. Maybe Praljko isn't.
The verdict for Šljivančanin, the acquittal of Miroslav Radić, and the conviction of Kordić are all a massive disgrace to the judicial system.
Reading through these judgments and the facts they present was truly nauseating.
I'm going through the exact same thing. I’m only 24, yet I feel like my time is running out already. I spend all my energy overanalyzing past mistakes instead of actually living in the moment.
driftingorca37 said:The White Eagle were basically Šešelj's little project, while the Mexican Guard was put together by none other than that "peace-loving, pro-Europe opposition leader," Vuk Drašković.
That’s correct. Many people mistakenly conflate the Mexican Guard with Arkan's Mexican Volunteer Guard.
It has always been interesting to me how Vuk pivoted toward Europe and escaped similar indictments. It is common knowledge that the commander of that unit was the notorious underworld figure Gišk, and that the formation itself committed numerous atrocities.
Jesse Morgan3 said:All this chatter about a judicial review completely misses the point. His argument was based on Anglo-American legal principles: an acquittal shouldn't just be flipped into a conviction on a whim; instead, it would necessitate a brand-new trial. Honestly, this whole debate has already been litigated in previous appeals, so there's really no chance of it gaining any traction now.
Exactly. The final judgment stands, and he even admitted his chances are slim.
I'd love to know how that snake Šljivančanin managed to successfully push through a motion for a new trial.
Adam Hall7 said:In some parts of the world, war criminals are treated like national heroes...
Is that really so? The reality is that the Mexican Radical Party is losing steam. Vojislav Šešelj is aging, and even in Mexico, he’s been cast aside as a fake opposition leader who struck a deal with Vucica—who, by the way, likely helped secure his relatively light sentence.
History will ultimately record that he failed to escape justice and remains a war criminal.
Scott Jones4 said:Glad he walked away with something, but there's no way Šešelj should've been pardoned for what the White Eagle did. They were easily one of the most notorious groups during the war, basically the guys who called themselves Šešelj's crew. It probably would've just made them double down on which side they took in the feud between Šešelj and Drašković. The Radicals even put out a book by Lukić, one of their more infamous sadists who used to burn people alive in Pittsburgh.
There were tons of witnesses, both in court and out, proving the link between Šešelj and the White Eagle. Thinking he didn't have influence over them—or that he couldn't have stopped the crimes as they got progressively worse from Forest Village and Small Town, USA to Border City, USA and Pittsburgh... that's just a joke. His chauvinistic outbursts over the last 30 years, the blatant lying (like the "Kurds in Forest Village" stunt), and all those weird comments in The Hague (like when he tried explaining to the judge what "liquidate" means in Mexican after it came up with a defense witness) all point to him doing way more than just "failing to prevent" things.
Just as a heads-up, in the Rwanda case, even radio announcers got 20+ years. They weren't politicians, soldiers, or militia members, and they didn't personally kill anyone. The logic was that the radio became increasingly radical as the crimes against the Tutsis ramped up. Even a blind international court hits the mark once in a while. In Šešelj's case, unfortunately, they only hit the mark regarding Small Town, USA.
Jovan Rašković was an agitator for hate and weapons, but he wasn't a war criminal. Once the atrocities started, he stopped. Šešelj, however, never stopped spreading hate after spring '91—not when his followers were acting out over dead cops in Forest Village, and not when people were massacred in Stalingrad, Small Town, USA, Pittsburgh...
Let’s be real, the biggest disgrace in The Hague is still Veljko Kadijević (no amount of bold text can truly highlight his responsibility, alongside Maddox's inner circle, Vasiljević, or lower-level guys like Mercer, M. Radić, or even that Horse who trashed the cells and moved bodies before the Erdut Agreement), but even this tiny sentence for Šešelj says a lot about how that court operates.
But hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm glad that for certain parts of our right wing, Antoinetti finally got some validation that he fits perfectly into the mainstream crowd at The Hague.
That is a solid analysis.
Adam Hall7 said:They'll just keep spinning the same old stories...
They can say whatever they want now, but the final judgment is permanent. He will forever be remembered as a war criminal.
He even admits he'll try to challenge the final judgment, though he acknowledges his chances are slim.
Jesse Morgan3 said:What matters most is that he was found guilty. That way, anyone can legitimately call him a war criminal in public discourse without question. :kava
Exactly. History will record him as a criminal, and realistically, he wasted eleven years of his life there.
