Brodin, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

Fellow brothren, on days when I choose to pray in the supine manner and decide to go for low rep maximums, it seems only right to ask a fellow disciple to spot me.

Time and again I ask to only be guided when it has become clear that I can't find the path on my own, but time and again these men prejudge the state of my struggle and intervene before the battle is lost. Of course they claim to have "barely touched the bar," and yet I know deep down that I can't claim these PRs.

I know these poor people believe they are helping, perhaps led astray by Broki. So I pray for them instead of cursing them, but I feel shame and embarrassment that I have been prevented from getting as close to Brodin

Gyms in Cairns

I'm looking for a gym with decent free weights in Cairns. Specifically powerlifting, but it does not have to be a powerlifting gym as such. Olympic bars and plates and a squat rack or power cage as a minimum. Any suggestions?

Military in libertarianism

I'm wondering why the military is such a commonly accepted pillar of libertarian thinking. If we try to leave aside the military-worship that's indoctrinated in many people, it's clear that they're the biggest source of centralized power and operate entirely on the basis of having a monopoly on force (in the right situations). Military juntas and abuses by militaries have been extremely common over the world throughout history.

And while defense reaps significant benefits by being highly cooperative with fairly strong command and control structures, the same can be said of many many other services (from city planning to transport to utility grids to police forces).

So I'm curious as to why
