Another reason: it helps keep the the bed warmer on cold days. When it's a really cold night and you get into a made bed, it's so much easier to warm yourself up.

I mean, you're right, but also OP's login is CharlesDarwin

The youngest boomers are 64 still. We may be done working with them in 10 years or so but they're stubborn. The ones still working then are the ones who never could win financially or are the ones who took advantage of everyone and never learned to stop.

Fun fact, many birds can and will hiss when they feel threatened. Parrots and some larger birds come to mind

That's why I advocate for elliptical machines if someone really wants to "run." Running isn't bad for you if you're wear proper shoes, have good form / posture, and run on soft ground. But many people don't do those and end up increasing their life expectancy but with terrible joints. Elliptical machines solve the issue by forcing your body to actually run properly but they eliminate the shocks that come with each step. And you're right - swimming is by far the best cardio anyone can do. Plus everyone needs to learn how to swim.

Sadly I can't do either for now, but hoping to by next Spring.

I used to run 3mi each day until I had to stop due to hip issues that I'm still trying to fix. I never thought I'd miss it this much. One of the biggest things I've been wanting to do for the past few years is to just run for the hell of it. You never realize how fortunate you are to do something until it's taken from you.

I don't think it used to be that way, but it has always struggled with class disparity to different degrees. When the financial security and physical health of people are compromised, they're less likely to be progressive.

The fact is that non-voters either have more important things to do than vote or don't feel they'd make an impact if they did vote.

When countries, states, and localities encourage education, promote mental and physical well-being, provide ample opportunities and fallbacks for financial security, and make it convenient to vote, then people more likely to at least vote, and at most vote progressively.

Scarcity promotes apathy, which promotes conservatism.

Doctors that are likely to flee to Canada are very likely Doctors who care more about helping people than making money. This isn't the issue you should worry about in this context.

Thank God I'm not the only one who absolutely hates this. Over a decade ago, I used an iPhone for a month before returning it for an Android because I hated it so much.

WHAT

I would go back and tell myself not to sacrifice certain things just to be high for the day. Don't change the positive things in your life. You should always know you control a substance, don't allow the drug to let you think you're in control. When you start to think you have do something high that you wouldn't if you were sober (e.g. hanging out with friends, spending the day with family, watching a movie, etc,) then that's when you're in very dangerous territory.

No. As with all things in life, there's nuance. Your body is different than mine. While I don't have an inherently addictive physiology, I quickly went from practicing moderation to using everyday, to quite literally never being truly sober. And I stopped myself a few times in the beginning - I knew I was slipping, and I held myself accountable and would be better for a time. Until eventually I forgot or was too apathetic, I can't remember honestly

Op, please read this.

A long time ago, I went through this. The details don't matter so much because our situations aren't the same. But I fell deep into addiction for a few years because I was dealing with several issues - some of which I've always dealt with and will continue to do so, others were temporary.

I still have to face the problems I did before, but now I have the occasional craving. Before, I would lie in bed or sleep if I was going through a depressive episode for a few weeks / months. Now, I want to burn my savings until I black out or can't remember why I started. Now, I get cravings if I use any kind of nasal spray. Now, I will dream of being high and will have cravings for the rest of the week.

If you can't change what you're going through, and you know you'll be dealing with it in the future, then why would you add more problems for your future self? The drugs I did were amazing until I came down, and they changed me. Some of the changes made me a better person due to the struggles and inconsistent clarity they presented, but some of the changes just made my suffering worse. Drugs will give you relief while you're high. But all things come to an end, be it the high or your life. Practice safety, use testers, and research everything.

Op, this is it. The franchise has been around for decades and covers many historical eras. Recently they got into fantasy and did well with it, though personally I prefer the historical titles with the dynamic dueling.

Like Dr_Nik said, battles are either RTS style that you can choose to control, let ai take over and observe the battle instead, or you can autoresolve and skip a battle entirely. The overall gameplay is similar across each game, but the mechanics and ai behavior vary wildly across titles. If you don't like one game, pick up another and you'll probably love it

No, 57% of registered Gen-Z voters who were men voted for Trump. Keep on mind over half of Gen Z didn't even vote. So the overall percentage of Gen Z who voted for Trump is much, much smaller.

If you think being altruistic has to be worth something to do it, then you're not an altruistic type of person. Being altruistic means doing what one believes is right and helping others regardless of any reward or value gained or lost.

While the American Left has been shifting right for the past few decades, were you even around during W. Bush's presidency? Progressives today want exactly what W. Bush campaigned against - proper climate policies and social / welfare safety nets.
