About once a year I'll fall madly back in love with taco bell and have a hot couple of weeks before I sober up and realize I've gained ten pounds and spent upwards of thirty bucks living mas No one should do this but also forgive yourself if the call of the dlt is too much to resist

It's such a pathetic form of suicide. Like, use drugs, base jump, choke yourself while having sex. All better ways to kill yourself without killing yourself than fast food. If it must be food related, kill yourself by indulging in good food.

Back in the old Tumblr days, people used to make up new genders. They'd say they were a demigirl, or faegender, or whatever. People used to make fun of them for that. But in retrospect that's a much better way of talking about this stuff than what we've got now where's there's just this giant amorphous "non-binary" tag. What the gently caress does that mean? That could be anything other than traditional man or traditional woman. You aren't actually communicating anything about yourself with non-binary. Bring back new genders. If we got people out here that aren't guys or girls but some thing else, they aren't all going to be the same third thing. If we're gonna do this gender stuff, we need to open up the infinite possibilities of gender instead of just having the normal two and other. Let 1,000 genders bloom!

I always kinda liked the idea of a Kinsey-style numerical Gender Scale with 1 being hypothetical peak feminine and 10 being the most masculine possible. Because I don't identify as trans but I've got no problem admitting that I'm not a 10, for God's sake. Also I want to make "infrafemme" a word.

We should Cut 2 hours of classes in school and replace them with mandatory gym class, 45 minutes of lifting 1 hour of cardio, and 15 minutes of nutrition. The state of health in the US and the western world is a loving joke. Also if you're a parent and your child is obese you should be charged with child abuse

Because heart disease and obesity are leading causes of death and it's costing trillions the world over to treat the symptoms of our lack of respect for the physical arts. Besides it gets people outside, in a group, teaches teamwork, comradery, coordination, and prevents such detrimental activities as sitting inside all day playing Roblox or whatever.

Most adults I know who hate sport and exercise specifically cite their experiences being forced to participate in highschool gym and sports as the reason. If you want people to be less obese, you need to destroy the culture of working three jobs to make rent and of processed food being the only access many people have to dopamine.

Then teach people to cook and make good food cheaper and more readily available? Make gyms free and publically available? Require jobs to be less time consuming? Just going to something in school doesn't mean you can keep it up post schooling after all.

There are two independent schools of thought on fitness in the US: cardio vs lifting. Traditionally in the West these fell on class lines, with "lithe" healthy oiled-up decathlon dandies favored by the rich vs "vigorous" volume-of-muscle dudes favored by the working class like your funny cool short overweight bassist friend who's built like a brick shithouse and can't be toppled. The second guy is a fat loser in the "fitness community" but a star in the "bodybuilding community"

The fattest people are the weird mental cases like the ones on reality TV shows. There's no helping them The second fattest people are former high school athletes. Giant round fuckers, all red faced, skin tight and straining, wraparound oakleys hiding their rosacea, enlarged heart beating furiously when they sit in traffic

Now it’s closer to two Back in the 90s, I lived in the only goddamn state in the goddamn union in which every goddamn high school kid was goddamn forced to have goddamn gym class every goddamn day of all four goddamn years. (Not that I'm bitter or anything.) Many years into adulthood, I got into bicycling and finally discovered that believe it or not, physical exercise isn't necessarily a horrible thing. This was a tremendous reversal from everything my school experience had taught me. To whoever it was that first suggested that schoolchildren should be pumping iron five hours a day or whatever: this idea had better be part of a complete uprooting, rethinking and replacement of the entire educational system. If it's just "way more gym class", you would have SO goddamn many nerd suicides on your hands.

My school had a weight room, but you were only allowed to use it if you were in the athletics program. The people taking regular rear end gym class got like one day a year when you'd go look at the weights and somebody would demonstrate lifts. You never actually got to lift anything yourself, though. ' Also, marching band counted as a gym credit even if you didn't march, so I got my gym credits by sitting on my rear end in the back of the band hall all morning.

I think the bad thing about gym class was the competitive nature of it. I don’t really see a problem with turning gym class into being less about competitive sports and more about cardio exercise and weights, where you can pretty easily adjust the difficulty based on athletic ability.

It’s definitely arguable whether doing youth sports caused them to be fat though. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 12:04 on Sep 10, 2022 |

I've given it some thought and I don't actually know what the purpose of the PE classes I was forced to endure from the beginning of primary school all the way through to year (or 9 or whatever it was) was actually supposed to be. We didn't learn anything about health and fitness. We didn't play any particular sport long enough to really learn anything about it or get good at it. I don't even know what we were supposed to be assessed on. I know we actually weren't assessed on anything, because I passed without trouble every year, including the years where I just refused to participate. It almost seems like the class existed to justify the school owning all that sports equipment. Like they couldn't just have stuff for kids to play with, it had to be attached to a class, so force the kids to cycle through every sport we can think of so we can buy the equipment for them.

Good post on PE. I feel it's usually written off as the time when kids run around because exercise is good for them. But it could be so much more! I'm sure it is in some trendy schools but like: Meditation Yoga Gymnastics/kinesthetics Swimming practice Climbing poo poo safely/falling as safely as possible Good posture and breathing And eating healthy What is body Fun and not just anxiety I think so much of education is outdated, everywhere, apart from maybe some obscure rich private Swiss school or something. There just isn't really incentive to teach kids to be more comfortable and wise in their bodies.

I think the best thing you could do to encourage positive interaction with PE in schools is to treat it like most other classes - acknowledge that people are not the same, and offer alternative classes accordingly. We’re somehow able to offer math classes for students who need more of a challenge, and math classes for students who need more help. Why shouldn’t PE be the same? I hated my 6th-8th grade PE where the only consideration of how many push-ups you should be able to do or how fast you should be able to run the mile was your age. In contrast, in high school, there were a few different classes on offer. The one I chose for a year was graded solely on participation - which I was always down for, and the first time I enjoyed PE in years. There was one that was more traditional where you were graded against expectations, and one focused on fitness enthusiasts where you were graded on your improvement and gains in the area you were focusing on.
