Not to mention you only get so many heart beats and if you use them up by making your heart go fast you die sooner. Look at the guy who invented jogging, he was an extremely fit guy but one day his heart just booped out, he ran out of beats and that was that. Its why people who sleep a lot live so long, your heart rate crashes when you sleep to 1, maybe 2 beats a minute and so for those eight hours you maybe do the same number of beats you normally do in half a minute.

turning half of your lungs into potato hash is just incentive for the other half to work harder

in hindsight i wonder how long before we start seeing “you only use 10% of your lung capacity so having a bunch of it shredded is no big deal” as a talking point

Do the job that is in front of you
Brain fog is when you read something five times and still can't remember what it says.

Brain fog is when you are using an ATM and getting stumped by the "do you want to pay the fee to proceed" question until you cry.

Brain fog is when you need to follow an easy step by step document but you forget the document exists and wing it.

Sometimes you feel set back in your eyes like Malcovich Malcovich Malcovich

Have fun everybody! :confuoot:

I got in a huge argument with my wife today because she hates not being able to see my face under a mask when we were at a nature center. It has a few loops and she said because we're hundreds of feet away from people most of the time no need for a mask because it's over 6 feet as experts say and outdoors isn't a big spread

I said because we passed other groups a dozen times with less than a foot apart you need the mask on at all times

I got accused of being anti science akin to young earth creationists and I'm still angry

she's right tbh

Ended up saying F it and went to the gym tonight. I work in a call center with 800 people less than 1% of whom wear masks. Might as well kill some stress because I'm screwed either way. What kills me is we had the entirety of the site working from home until the head manager got pissy about attendance and yanked everyone back. This loving country man.

wtf working from home with a soft phone is literally the ideal situation for an otherwise draining, lovely job. it's not like you're monitored any less at home. your manager can already see precisely what phone state you're in at all times, listen to every call, and also probably watch a screen recording.

so gently caress it. if the internal reporting built around your telephony system is lovely, they won't be able to tell if you flip into a not ready or after call work state for a split second, sending you to the back of the call queue.

I only started going to the gym for the first time in my life in January this year. Now I'm supposed to do all this on my own without form check. And no I cannot watch a video because apparently I am so unused to moving my body properly that a big part of my PT's time is showing me "this is what keeping your back straight is"

work on bodyweight exercise, it's harder to gently caress yourself up vs. throwing around weights. you can still hurt yourself but it takes more work vs. overloading a squat bar and blowing out your knees

Every single recipe either takes too long, has too many or too weird ingredients. Even stirfries leave me hungry. When I can cook, I eat spaghetti Bolognese for 4 meals straight. And yet every single therapist I had said this wasn't a big deal!

Yeah the system is super lovely and I know several ways to juke it and take basically no calls during a shift but that makes it grind by tbh.

real talk, figure out your goals and work from there. no single exercise or diet routine works for everyone. if you want to lose weight, you're going to need to do more work in the kitchen and less in the gym than you think. but really you need to understand your psychology--are you stress eating and using food to cope? no diet or exercise is going to fix that. for me, intermittent fasting, low carb, bodyweight exercise were a huge help in changing my lifestyle.

I think it depends on how long ago you had it

which brings me to another good benchmark for going out - I get a test saying I already had it, wait a couple of months, and resume never going out anyway, but knowing I COULD

so before going out, these would be nice :
3 weeks no new cases nearby
good treatment available
Disneyland opens with no social distancing/masks required
Turns out you already had it and didn’t notice! congrats you, get back to work ya dummy!
