Comservative dad with great fashion

Another reason: it helps keep the the bed warmer on cold days. When it's a really cold night and you get into a made bed, it's so much easier to warm yourself up.

I mean, you're right, but also OP's login is CharlesDarwin

This is not an industry where you want a monopoly. If they had more companies to compete with, then more taxes would be paid. But, regardless of how many competitors they have, if they paid more taxes then they wouldn't have quite the market value that they do.

The whole reason these companies have such insane market values is because they've spent so much time and money artificially inflating their stock prices and by raising the barriers for entry into their industries

This is why the US desperately needs progressive antitrust legislation

We just had +100F temperatures where I am. We had wildfires in the hills south of the city a year ago. I live in fucking Boston. Everyone is going to be impacted over the next few decades, and no one will be as prepared as they think

This article is worthless. They stated how it could be the end of the studio and how it's telling for the industry, but they go on to say the studio literally only used it to do last-minute translations for Korean and Brazilian-Portuguese prior to launch before having a team refine and complete the translations post-launch. There's no real story here. It isn't like they used generative AI to help code or model something

So many don't understand this. When someone is depressed in such a way, it isn't uncommon to have already reached a point where you're just going through the motions of living life. It isn't that you don't want help or don't want to be better, but that so much has already been attempted and very little, if any of it, actually contributed to a lasting positive mental state. This is where serotonin and dopamine deficiencies come in, where people who are depressed to have the inability to ground themselves like the average person can.

At this stage, the help that is needed is specialized and intensive, and few people understand how to actually help and fewer still recognize if they have the resources to actually help.

That's why I advocate for elliptical machines if someone really wants to "run." Running isn't bad for you if you're wear proper shoes, have good form / posture, and run on soft ground. But many people don't do those and end up increasing their life expectancy but with terrible joints. Elliptical machines solve the issue by forcing your body to actually run properly but they eliminate the shocks that come with each step. And you're right - swimming is by far the best cardio anyone can do. Plus everyone needs to learn how to swim.

Sadly I can't do either for now, but hoping to by next Spring.

I used to run 3mi each day until I had to stop due to hip issues that I'm still trying to fix. I never thought I'd miss it this much. One of the biggest things I've been wanting to do for the past few years is to just run for the hell of it. You never realize how fortunate you are to do something until it's taken from you.

I don't think it used to be that way, but it has always struggled with class disparity to different degrees. When the financial security and physical health of people are compromised, they're less likely to be progressive.
