Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.

    Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

      Omou again, fucker.

      My sides.

      And I know it’s a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but “akachan” is way too friendly for “You’re fucking dead, kiddo”. I’d go for “gaki”, which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means “kiddo”, with the same connotations and all.

      I sort of wonder if the next generation will still romanticize Japan in quite the same way. We’re past the peak trendy-products era of Weird Sony and the Toyota MR2, anime is no longer a secret exotic thing, and it feels like if you want “15 years ahead of us optimistic techno future”, you could easily slide in Chongqing or Seoul instead of Tokyo.

        As far as I can tell, gen z’s more into Korea, Japan already seems passé (being in a midlife crisis meme doesn’t help)

    I have done all of these. None of them were a midlife crisis - that was straight fucking.

    I fell into running…hard. I went from almost no physical exercise to running marathons over the space of 2 years. Did my first 100km ultra in December.

      I’m on track to do the same right now. Was virtually sedentary until January of this year and now I’m doing 25 miles a week and get grumpy when I can’t run.

      True, true, this is me too. I’ve got to admit to having to hold myself back from a full on outdoor kitchen. But I have a nice grill and a huge smoker, and I’ll be here every weekend wondering how to find people who want to share 15# of pulled pork or something.

      I’ve actually gone overboard with cooking in general. Replaced teflon with cast iron and stainless steel, and a griddle top , and learned how to cook so many different foods from so many cuisines.

    What do you do if running hurts your knees? Just do it anyway?

    I have tried changing footwear but generally if I walk a lot my knee will hurt. Doctor said thats just how I’m built I guess.

    I would like to get into it. I guess I could just do NSAIDs?

      It depends. Do they hurt because the cartilage is gone? Then I’m pretty sure you are boned and have to pick one of the other three midlife crisis. Otherwise try physiotherapy. Lots of things cause knee pain: imbalance of muscle strength, muscle tightness, poor running style, bad shoes. Don’t power through on pain killers - you don’t want to also be in pain when you aren’t running. Oh, and bad shoes is the last thing to look at out of those four. People can generally run in anything. A shoe that compensates for one of the other three problems is not a good shoe.

      Don’t use drugs to solve a problem like this. You’ll just build a tolerance and solve nothing.

      Look into strength training as others suggested. Start with bodyweight exercises before moving on to weights. It’ll take a while though as you’ll need to experiment to find what works, and ofc exercise isn’t an overnight thing.

      Maybe also consult a physical therapist.

      And if all of that is too much, running isn’t the only effective cardio exercise. Cycling, swimming and less obvious/weird ones like slideboard mountain climbers, which should all be easier on the knees

      Have you tried insoles? Mine started to hurt and it was from my knees turning in because of bad arch support in my shoes

      I get pain in my shins when I run outside. I exclusive run on the treadmill now and that works for me.

      Running is in most cases good for knee health in the long term. It could be that you just need to take it slower to build up the knee strength.

      Important: If you feel pain, stop and wait for it to recover.

      Maybe do strength training and stretching exercise first that target the leg muscles. A lot of knee pain comes from imbalanced leg muscles. Like when one side of the leg is too stiff or too weak.

      Check out this guy. Now full transparency I’ve never checked his stuff out, but people who know far more than I do say he is legit and I know a few people who have used his videos to work through injuries and improve their range of motion and it worked.

      Theres also some “Performance enhancing compounds” that can supposedly improve longevity and recovery that can help with joint issues but thats a whole rabbit hole and the research just isnt definitive, I’ve dabbled and I feel like they worked and know stuff but I’m not trying to advertise for that sort of thing.

      I used to always run for fun. I was a go run a “real quick” 10k to hatch a pokemon egg kind of guy. I can’t run anymore because of my knees, my doc said I need surgery, but I’m waiting until I feel that I need it.

      Btw if I were you and my doctor said something dumb like that, I’d find another doctor.

      My advice is to use an elliptical to test the waters. They are when used correctly low impact on the knees.

    My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn’t work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.

    It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I’ve put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.

    For context, that’s more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.

    As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain’t so bad 😁

    Oh god, I feel called out. Except that mine has been a long and painful trajectory with various episodes since high school.
