runners are bad unless they wear masks with decent source control imo. they threaten others’ ability to remain pedestrians (thereby adding more cars to the road) by breathing in and out too hard, 132 times to be specific. so says the pnas https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35605123/



the solution is simple, reallocate driving lanes to disgusting jogging activities.

exactly. it’s hard to get there but if you start slow you can make it to the level you can walk a few miles to to the grocery store, load up your backpack and walk back. it’s all about toughening the skin, as one does when they start playing guitar. they might be assholes about this at American grocery stores so maybe bring some flipflops in case (just one more tiny thing to carry with extra N95s in case they don’t let you use your elastomeric)

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Just think if he had run them over he wouldn't have gotten so much as a ticket because a car is a license to show your rear end

The human body isn't designed for running all the time, or pedaling, or any other such thing. It's designed for long distance walking. Walking is the ideal exercise for the animal that humans are.

Gal and I walked around ~3.5 miles to our local cooking hobby shop and back. Took a little over an hour because of our pace, etc for what would normally be a 5 minute drive. Yet it was so many more times chill and enjoyable. Would recommend!

marathon running to hunt prey as they tire themselves out

its also the fact that artificial surroundings like sidewalks or roads are easy mode for your muscles compared to rougher, natural terrain that lets you use muscles you don't normally use because humans are now amorphous blobs sliding everywhere in a metal cage killing each other

Walking and loving are good for you and they're free, which is why people are always trying to make both of them illegal.

Like you and a partner could be totally broke but you could spend a whole day off work walking around your town looking at stuff, followed by going home and boning, and wow you just had a whole healthy day of entertainment and self care that didn't cost you a goddamn dime

its amazing that millions of years of natural evolution with bipedality conformed to natural earth enviroments as your archs have the actual weight distribution for terrains, a bunch of lizard freak lead huffing boomers decided to slather the world in asphalt and complain about gout or bunions as if its all a loving vacuum.
