People don’t spend enough time trying to improve every aspect of their life that is substantially lacking. Anyone who has internet has the capability to learn anything they want, but laziness gets in the way of self-improvement. You can get as granular as you want, which is the best part of self-improvement. Maybe today you learn you’re not wiping your rear end properly or how to improve your posture. Maybe tomorrow you learn how to take steps to be healthier like eating better or not using substances habitually or how to be a better parent to your children. Maybe you learn how to use the internet as a tool instead of the source of all of your thoughts and feelings. Gradual self-improvement brings great happiness to those who want to be the best person they can be and I believe if more people were on board with the practice that lots of societal and economic issues would have a lot of the wind removed from their sails.

Analytic Engine posted:Elites and conservative administrators value conserving health ie “fitness” instead of generating new positive sources of health ie “bodybuilding”. They demand you channel exercise through expensive leisure activities and boring abstract sports, stuff incompatible with limited PE budgets and teaching/training time. But aggressive weightlifting to look and compete like a physical laborer is something they can’t gatekeep and definitely *want* to stigmatize. Plus weights make you feel good, something that can never be allowed in school “Elites don’t want you bodybuilding” has got to be one of the dumber takes in this thread

Ideally any physical education reform would start with 3 pillars: 1) An across-the-board refusal to hire psychopathic sadists as PE teachers 2) College/professional sports recruiters to be shot on sight 3) A universal recognition that American football is not a sport

American sports are kinda cool but they all last a long time. I think you are meant to second monitor them or maybe simultaneously watch 5 going on at once or something idk

Josef bugman posted:I mean cost is also a really obvious limiting factor. And time and what the definition of a "good person" is are fraught with moral questions. You don’t really get what I’m getting at. Morals don’t factor into whether or not you are practicing doing things better. Only once you have exhausted improving the small things can you begin to improve the larger, vaguer goals in life. I’m talking each action you take. Am I waking properly? Is my morning routine hindering me in any way? Should I change the order in which I tackle my tasks to save time? What could I be doing right now that would be more productive? Do I speak to people properly? Do I plan enough or too much? Do I constantly poison myself? Am I giving respect to myself and others properly? Everyone is making decisions and doing actions all day long and most people have decided that the way they go about living is the best way and never strive to improve anything about themselves. You only get one life to live and if you’re not trying to live the best, happiest, most efficient life that you’re able to live, I’m not sure why anyone would choose to do that. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow and I’d be embarrassed if my last day on Earth was something terribly sad like “sat on rear end and smoked weed all day while being occasionally average at a video game and being mad about it” or “went to job and put in the bare minimum effort then came home and decided was too tired to interact with family in any meaningful sense.”

When I was in middle school, we could only get up to a 75% daily grade max if we did not shower naked. (We would get marked down to 50% if we refused to shower at all.) The gym teacher would sit on a chair outside the big shower thing and we could either walk by him and say we showered in shorts, or open our towel to show we were naked. Totally thought this was normal behavior.

There are nuanced critiques to be made around the culture that's grown up around it and the money that's poured into perpetuating that culture but really it's just an unreasoning grudge against it pre-empting TV shows I liked when I was a kid. (Mostly) unrelated: smug people saying "You don't hate X, you hate capitalism" have not considered that I am capable of hating more than one thing

It is bonkers that carnival games are still allowed anywhere It's one of the least consequential issues ever considered of course, but I really hate the normalization of fraud. It's one of those things that "everyone knows" but it's still allowed anyway. Everyone knows the games are all fixed Everyone knows that business having a sale didn't actually discount anything from its actual observed price Everyone knows the undercoating doesn't actually exist Everyone knows that supplement doesn't actually do anything I dunno I think maybe businesses that tell us explicit or implied lies should be fined into penury with cash bounties to anyone who reports them
