I whole heartedly agree with this. The problem though is that untrained or newer people think this is gospel. The ones who already don’t like weights end up just doing pure cardio: running, treadmill or elliptical for hours. They never actually lift. For women and older people especially, weights should be pushed first.
@allie__voss It depends on the industry and age group. For construction, manufacturing or sales sectors, with primarily boomers/gen x VPs/managers, assholes still do very well.
One of the articles referenced in the main article looked at mice sprinting and then they only used bloodwork for humans. Also they’re talking about excessive sprints or even ultramarathon type cardio and gym rats aren’t even doing that so this has nothing to do with weightlifting or even doing moderate cardio on a weekly basis. This is the extreme end and not many people are doing extreme cardiovascular training on a week to week basis. However, it makes sense that extreme cardio would have an effect on your brain.
@TheOXGod The NFL and EA agreed to an extension through 2030 recently. I don’t why I got my hopes up that would possibly end and we could get something like this again, oh well. This game holds many core memories for me.
I use a drip method. Listen, vocalize that you understand what she is feeling and subtly introduce the solution. Rinse and repeat based on what she continues to communicate. Bonus points if you can ask her questions and have her think she arrived at the solution. For example:
Her: “ugh, these debt collector keeps calling”
Me; “Oh yeah, those calls are so annoying”
Me: “What are you going to do?”
Her: “I don’t know, ugh”
Me: “I had debt collectors hound me when I was younger. It was a nightmare”
Her: “Ugh, yes! That’s exactly how I feel. I’m freaking out.
Me: “Totally get that. What do you think you can do about it?
Her: “Maybe pay it off faster? But I can barely keep up.”
Me: “When I did it, I consolidated into one low-interest loan. My(insert family member she likes) told me about it.”
Her: “Consolidating? Hmm, that might work if it stops the calls.”
Me: “yeah, it helped a lot. Want me to walk you through how I did mine?”
This is a perfect scenario obviously, but it shows the method. It’s not really a method lol. It’s just listening, confirming and offering.
@_crypto__queen@DiscoOrpheus Great point, I’m a huge fan of evening or dusk walks in the afterglow/come down. I find that I am able to soak in nature in a deeper way. I remember walking one time after an acid trip and smelling bbq someone was cooking, it was euphoric.
The 6 7 episode was funny at moments, but I feel like they really lost their mojo. I don’t know if it is TDS or what. The magic is gone. They used to make fun of both sides, but it feels specifically targeted towards one side. I think most people on X could have come up with better jokes about Trump than them. It felt lazy.
Horrible take, but I will explain why. Your $15 an hour construction job, yes, you were working hard, but you didn’t have to be nice to anybody. You didn’t have to fake interest in anyone. You just did the task so that’s what you were getting paid for — the task. Your roommate had to perform a certain skill and yes, there is a skill to being a bartender. It’s called interest. It’s called being nice to an asshole. It’s called faking interest in someone who wants to tell you their life story after a long week. The tip is my ability to give a shit about you. I don’t get to be mean, those people get fired. Now as for the girls who make obscene money as bottle girls, yes, that is ridiculous.
I have worked in white collar, blue collar and bar collar. Guess what? They have all required certain skills.
