  • 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/engagement — 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).

  • I think the important part overall is cardio. You need to elevate your heart rate for sustained periods of time. Lifting weights is better than not, but your brain benefits from the increased and improved blood flow "to clean out the garbage" (much like quality sleep).

  • 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 (hold technological superiority against an inferior force), 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.

  • I find it hilarious that all these countries call themselves "democracies" yet criminals have a loophole where they can just stay in power indefinitely as long as they continue committing more crimes.

    Clown world.

  • Of course it's not crazy. The CEO went all in on being a fascist piece of shit, and brazenly open drug addiction, which has directly damaged the assets of all of his businesses, their customers assets, and the entire brands.

    If, within the next 5 years, Elon isn't billions in debt and destitute, that's how you know we all live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracies".

  • This should definitely be the approach for the first phase of protesting, but I fear this is also missing the part where fascists — including the oligarch owned media — will actively produce and disseminate disinformation to justify their crimes, regardless of how peaceful and disciplined protesters are. I fear fascists will continue escalating to mass murder either way.

    Remember "They're eating cats and dogs" or "kitty litter in schools" or "migrant caravan"?

    In the age of disinformation, facing a fascist mass murder, protesters need to be prepared for "peaceful" to turn into Tiananmen square, at which point there's no reason to congregate around the square anymore; you need to switch gears and go guerrilla warfare. Obviously this should never be done anywhere near a protest. It should never be waged against civilians/MAGA voters, cops, troops, or federal agents. It should only ever be targeted specifically at the fascist leadership, and their immediate senior accomplices. Wasting time or effort on low value targets is counterproductive.
