  • This is why I think the recommendation should be focused on heart rate profiles rather than “running”, which is bad for your joints. Let’s be real here — the running is just a proxy for a sustained elevated heart rate + oxygenation + full body motion — so swimming or skipping would likely be a better trade off for your muscular/skeletal system over a lifetime; the problem is that they require “equipment” that’s not always available.

    Likewise, running in a heavily polluted environment (outdoors in a city) is probably far worse than all other cardio in a cleaner air environment (indoors with HVAC or around air filter).




  • Yeah. I feel like the concept of America is just completely manufactured. Personified by the ignorant blowhards who LARP as heros but only fight when backed by the MIC, the Christian taliban who hate jesus and everything he stood for, and the oligarchs who got rich off the backs of immigrants; responsible for the populations mental illness epidemic.

    It’s quite obvious that the average American will roll over and let the Stalin, Putin, Mao, Xi or Hitler force them into absolute supplication before they bother with the minor inconvenience of protest or strikes, while being stupid enough to believe they represent freedom and justice. The only people willing to oppose the psychopaths are too liberalised to accept that they won’t be stopped without violence, or too fragmented to provide meaningful resistance. A massive general strike would work, but that would require more cooperation and discipline than Americans have ever displayed, and the mental illness is too strong.

    I hope I’m wrong.
