This whole exchange has left me quite flabbergasted honestly. The definition of jog is simply to run

Are you feeling alright at the moment friend?

go take a fucking light jog for 30 mins in only one direction, and then turn around and run back.

How can you suggest you never mentioned running when your comment literally explicitly consists of advice to go running?

Eh I mean immediately jumping into 60 mins of running every single day is like the recipe for a TMTS injury. Doing a gradual progression is probably better. Assuming OP has safe streets to run and even likes running.

I agree that exercise can be great though. Something to do, endorphins, health benefits, something to track improvement in over time, and so on. Diving into it can be super super grounding in times like these, although I know how cliché it is to suggest and how disheartening and even condescending it can feel. Like “oh you aren’t happy in your capitalist hellscape? Have you tried taking on even more work? Have you considered that you just don’t have the right attitude or aren’t doing the right things to earn happiness?”

At least that’s how it always felt to me when I was in this darkness, and would hear people who were so much better off than me suggest such totally asinine things as taking up running or baking bread.

But these pursuits are actually the most potent act of rebellion you can take against this system that’s fucking us. It is NOT a coincidence that we get home from work feeling run down, like we’ve spun our wheels another day for nothing, like we need some type of release. That release is then sold to us for any amount of money we happen to have; maybe booze, maybe electronics, maybe junk food, you name it. These types of releases are not rejuvenating and you just string yourself along until you next clock in.

The leeches in power want you on this merry go round for the rest of your days. So screw them all.

Devote yourself to some physical hobby they can’t charge you for. Running is an all time classic, I endorse resistance training as well (check out Hybrid Calisthenics on youtube for great progressions you can do with no/minimal equipment if gym access is an issue).

I know it still sounds cringe lol. There’s really no convincing way to get the message across with words. Wishing you all the best OP

Actually remember seeing some numbers on this a while ago and I was pretty shocked at how few games the average person buys. Like median ps3 owner bought 7 games over the life of the entire console.

From looking around google quickly it looks like the average for ps4/5 is 6-10 depending on region.

So if someone stays subscribed to the service for the life of the console then Microsoft comes out way ahead compared to just selling games, I would guess

Gotcha, yeah makes sense . Thank you for answering candidly-cooking is one of those things, the more I learn the more I realize how different everybody is

Once a month? May I ask about your methods in the kitchen?

I use my measuring cup nearly every day, sometimes twice a day, primarily for measuring carbs (pasta, quinoa, couscous, oatmeal) but also water and veggies (lentils, beans).

Reading that back - sorry if the question sounds aggro, no shade at all I’m really just curious about how people are running their setup. FWIW I randomly inherited some ancient no-name measuring cups from my late grandmother; they have embossed glass markers that will never wear away. I really love them

People think it don’t be like it is

Ah I’m sorry to hear that. My parent swung hard into the same propaganda and obviously ended up catching a severe case, multiple times in fact. Survived, but they’re like a totally different person now. Extremely hair triggered and aggressive, easily confused about things that always used to come naturally.

I think it’s literally a case of brain damage from catching the virus so many times. Been pretty awful to watch. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive the conspiracists. Sorry again for your loss, hope things are moving in a good direction for you and yours

lol. They can’t hear the difference even with the most expensive equipment. The resultant signal from decompressing a FLAC phase cancels with the original signal if you invert it. Meaning they are indeed 100% identical. Lossless, dare I say.

Literally all it does as a file format is merge data that is identical in the left and right channel, so as not to store that information twice. You can see this for yourself by trying to compress tracks that have totally different/identical L and R channels, and seeing how much they compress if at all

Three main reasons

Firstly, it does make you sweat more, which reduces your weight (temporarily). It’s common for people in sports that require a weigh-in to do this and also partially dehydrate themselves before they are weighed to make their weight class.

Secondly, it’s done by people trying to lose weight in general who have heard about the first group and incorrectly believe inducing sweat this way will speed up their weight loss. The exact opposite is true: by intentionally overheating yourself, you actually reduce the effectiveness of your workout, making your fitness goals harder to achieve in the long run. There are tons of myths like this that seem intuitive but hold a lot of people back.

Thirdly, people are just self-conscious sometimes and cover up their body

I actually saw that happen in real time, did we confirm it was an admin action?

All the pixels came in at the same time
