  • So my biggest tip, if you want to start out exercising make sure you have a clear goal. For me the goal is to feel good in my limbs and body, so I don’t have pains and aches and have more energy. For others it is looks or muscles or mental health or whatever.

    If you know why you are doing something it is a lot easier to do. I think focus often ends up on the visible aspects like looking better or losing a little weigth but these goals will take a lot more commitment than just feeling good by exercising, so make sure you know what the goal is and that you are realistic about it.

    For doing at home, you could start with easy yoga and some weights and a RUBBER BAND. Rubber bands are fucking awesome for at home exercise. Put it under your foot, around a doorknob… Whatever. Short jogs are underrated. Five minutes around the block is a good warmup.

    Jog five minutes, do a yoga set 20-30 minutes (find on youtube for example, eventually design your own), then rubber band exercises for ten or so and done. That is a good exercise you can do at home in many different ways.




  • I wasn’t imagining they were actually locked up in the factory, but after reading one of the linked articles from the original article:

    “On 28 February, the Vietnamese man escaped the facility by climbing up a wall, crossing a river, and seeking refuge at a farm. The farm owner then reported it to the police. There were signs of torture on the man, including scars and marks from electrocution, said Mr Casio, whose team visited the man early this month.”

    that seems to be the case.


  • This reads wild to me. Imagine kidnapping someone, and then giving them internet access, and still you know no one will care if you ask for help online?

    Seriously how do they prevent people from asking for help? What exactly do they do at the scam factory?

    I imagine it is a sort of debt bondage situation, like in the fishing industry (we will fly you here, but oh, now you owe us 12 months salary for the food and travel and visa, and actually this is not the job we said it was. It has changed now sorry!). I’d love some more info on how this actually works in practice if someone has a good source.
