I’ve got bad knees, so running (and a lot of other sports) is out, but I live to bike. I commute every day of the year, rain sleet or snow. It’s my favorite part of the day.
The most important part of staying active for me, was finding something that I actually enjoy. It tricks my ADHD into thinking it’s playtime, and not some drudgery that needs to be completed. If it’s like a game, I can focus for 10 hours straight.
I’m not anorexic. Im a healthy 225. I love eating. I just sometimes forget that it’s something I need to do everyday. 😅
I like my smartwatch. I’m extremely ADHD as well as hypoglycemic. I have a lifelong history of not eating, then working/playing/exercising until i get woozy or pass out. I’m a terrible judge of what I actually need to stay functional. Always have been. I’m stubborn and will just try to power through things when I actually can’t.
The watch helps me track my sleep/rem cycles and lets me know when I’ve been neglecting my health. It lets me know when I’m getting stressed and need to take it easy, and it estimates how many calories I’ve expended on a given day.
The watch and pager functions are nice for reducing screen time when I should be working, but as a health monitor I find it indispensable in keeping me honest with myself.
If you replaced all muscle and fat in a 6’3 body with marshmallow fluff, you might end up looking a bit like trump at “225”.
I’m 6’3 225 and I can assure you, I wasnt nearly that fat even when I was pushing 250. If he’s actually 6’3 (he isn’t) then brody is pushing 270 EASY. You can hide a lot of weight on a 6’3 frame, but not that much.
Congrats to the brave men and women who made that victory possible. A win for labor rights anywhere is a win for workers everywhere.
This is of course after they spent decades consolidating power, wealth and influence with those same IP laws, while snuffing out all smaller competitors.
The speed with which Americas tech CEOs have embraced this new oligarchic system is astounding. It’s almost like that was the plan all along. Almost.
You’re Goddamn right.
So the holiday that’s coming up in a week… Is it 4/20, or 20/4?
A stalemate where China is locked into its territorial waters and has to rebuild its military while suffering a military blockade, medium and long range bombardment - while America retains freedom of navigation and inter-continental trade?
Doesn’t sound like a stalemate to me. It sounds like a slow death. China is even more reliant on trade than we are and in a hot war, they lose the majority of their trading partners.
What does America lose?
How so? China has a manpower advantage, but they don’t have the capability to project that advantage beyond the mainland/local territorial waters. In what way would America not “come off well”, when the enemy has no credible way of actually getting to us, and no way of supporting it’s economy without international trade? Are they going to island hop from one American defensive position to the next, all the way across the Pacific, while also securing shipping lanes through the Indian ocean for the oil to make that possible?
Sounds like a bad time - for them.
Argentina and Spain are good examples. Peron and Franco organized ratlines for Nazis fleeing the Nuremberg trials.
Yeah what you said - fire him out of a cannon.
The fact he hired a stylist to help him look more like Jack Harlow is hilarious. Bro, you’re 40. Trying to look like Augustus Caesar is finally age appropriate - why are you changing it up NOW?
Same. I’m about two days ahead of anyone else I know. If it’s even slightly off, I’ll start retching. I’m a cook, so it isn’t actually completely useless.
The taxes will continue until manufacturing improves.
Depends how you phrase the question. If you ask people “do you think the nation of Israel has a right to exist” (are you a Zionist) it probably would be closer to 60%.
Plenty of “Zionists” (in the non-slur sense) are sympathetic to both parties. It’s just that internet discourse on the subject has become so radicalized and binary that it gets lost in the conversation.
Try not defending Stalin?
I’d say I’m probably more optimistic than most, but I don’t know if I’d apply that to the whole population. It’s a disorder that affects your ability to perform in the ways society expects you to, and for a lot of people, that sense of failed duty is a weight that they bear every day.
For me tho, I’ve never really given a fuck what society expects out of me. I live for myself first. If my boss or teachers or parents are pissed because I’m not measuring up to some metric, that’s their problem. I’m in a career now where I don’t need to worry about finding a new job. They’re plentiful. So I just focus on what makes me happy and put in just enough effort to keep my head above water and save a bit for down the line. Work and education have always just been a means to that end. I’d say I’m definitely an outlier in that regard.
