Doing life better, one step at a time.

@amandanat PJ Masks’ intro is the worst.

@jdickerson This feels like a set up. 🤔

I use context clues to understand baseball analogies in normal conversation.

@randfish Would the same go in the other direction? “You can’t hire steady-eddy people and then ask them to go above and beyond.” ?

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

Props to all the winners, of course, but @rheaseehorn had my vote. 😢

@acshapiro @singhcredible I have this same question. I’ve been using it to help ease / avoid plantar fasciitis, but only for the past week or so. Would appreciate feedback from anyone who’s been using them longer.

@coffeebreak_YT @JakeSucky 😄😄😄

@fabio_mologni @singhcredible Although this is conceptually true (use something long enough and it wears down), it’s also true that 1) w/ our bodies, strength and growth happen first, and 2) the lifetime amount of running needed to reach the “wear down” point is likely more than 99% of people will ever run.

My LOL moment of the week on the @SlateGabfest (and I mean this in good fun): Emily: “…doesn’t this seem like Qatar kinda won, alongside Argentina?” John: “Well, they won on the bodies of hundreds of migrant workers, who are dead.” 😳😄😄

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@JohnDiesattheEn You have to really abstract the climax of the movie to say it’s identical to the first one.

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@KeithAdamTaylor @JohnDiesattheEn I bet there’s a longer cut where we see what happens. 😄

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@princephilip69 @JohnDiesattheEn Exactly.

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@SpencerGauldin @JohnDiesattheEn That’s fair. Yeah I’d be curious too.

@thinkofacard @JohnDiesattheEn

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@SpencerGauldin @JohnDiesattheEn I felt the same way (a bit baffled) reading the thread. Maybe it’s because he is a writer, so it’s harder for some movies to break through because he’s so familiar with character/story tropes? Cameron writes straightforward, general-audience characters. Maybe not complex enough?

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@_creddy_ @JohnDiesattheEn Sometimes I think if you let go of your analytical brain for a bit and just enjoy the movie, then afterward you find that there *was* a lot of depth there. Sometimes we’re just not willing to go with it, so we miss a lot of what’s actually there.

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@Iapetus52638899 @JohnDiesattheEn I think you’re right - definitely could’ve been avoided with different parenting. I think a lot of fathers (maybe less so these days?) get into that kind of “respect me and do what I say” dynamic with their kids and it’s like they can’t / don’t know how to get out of it. 🙁

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@Iapetus52638899 @JohnDiesattheEn That part really got me. In general the dynamic between Jake and the older brother is somewhat reflected in my own life, so later when some things happen that I won’t spoil, it connected strongly with me.

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@LIFTERSuk @JohnDiesattheEn Same.

[Tread Talks @treadtalks]

@JohnDiesattheEn I was amazed throughout.
