Funny thing about the Nazis who were hung… A lot of them were hung by a guy named John C Woods who was a drunk and a terrible hangman, so a lot of them didn’t actually get much mercy because they were hung improperly.
Behind the Bastards covered him and I recommend a listen. If I remember right it’s speculated the leadership knew he was a shitty hangman and actually were okay with him fucking it up.
I get the spirit of what you’re saying, they’re all habit forming, but fat and sugar (IE: carbohydrates) are macronutrients our bodies need to survive. Obviously they’re not needed in the quantities that are available to us in modern society, but our biological desire to seek out high calorie foods is a survival mechanism rather than what happens with other habit forming substances like tobacco.
I don’t mean to nitpick here but I feel like that distinction is important because saying “sugar and fat bad” without a little nuance can miss lead folks that aren’t properly educated on nutrition, which in my experience is a large portion of my fellow Americans.
Edit: just wanted to add here that there’s another comment by someone else who more or less states the same thing, but makes that distinction and I have no problem with it.
I feel like you more concisely summarized my early 30s life perfectly. Most of my old friends just went their own way and there’s no major drive to reconnect now. It’s just me, my wife and my son. Everyone else is basically coworkers and my own direct family.

33 at this point. I get a decent amount of socializing with my coworkers to where I don’t feel a “need” to socialize. I’m a fairly chatty person, so that may be a result of who I am personally wise.
With that being said, these are strictly coworkers and not “friends”. I would consider them more positive than a stranger by far, most experiences are warm and positive but not a “friend”. Oddly enough despite my ability to socialize well, most of my friends drifted off to do their thing after highschool, so I barely see any of them.
I can see this as detrimental to some folks but I haven’t really been affected… Yet. I can’t rule out the potential problems in the future. I spend time with some of my remaining friends I’m in contact with, it’s mostly just posting memes laughing and shit talking.
I think part of the point isn’t so much to dunk on these dudes specifically (although they’re not great people for choosing to actually go so I don’t feel bad for them) but rather to point out that not even a week ago Hegseth was yapping about the “ideal soldier” to a room full of men who are way more knowledgeable and qualified than he is. Meanwhile the only folks that seem to wanna actually do this shit in Chicago are less than ideal specimens by Hegseth own fucked standards.
I agree with your sentiment, but just to be clear in US presidential succession the vice president (Vance) is next in line. So while I think he’s a piece of shit and wholly incompetent, he is actually legitimately president if Mango Mussolini croaks.
I think I’d personally join up with Khorne. I’m not much for violence or rage, but I feel like he offers a pretty straightforward deal compared to the other gods. No shenanigans, no chance of becoming a spawn as long as I do what I’m supposed to, and although he’s not gonna protect me he also isn’t gonna backstab me.
Maybe I can forge weapons or something while blasting Amon Amarth? I feel like that’s Khorne enough.
So does that mean they need to sacrifice 1000 teenage girls a day to keep it powered?
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS
I agree entirely. I’m not against foreign aid as a concept at all, but I feel like it should be extremely conditional and the shit Israel is pulling in Palestine very much justifies pulling any and all aid we’re providing them. Children shouldn’t be dying, full stop.
That’s why I said I wasn’t casting shade on your specific circumstances, since I don’t know them. There definitely is a tangible difference as we age, so far I find it to be recovery times that are affected, I just find a lot of folks use that as a crutch to justify getting more and more out of shape. Not trying to project onto you or any one in particular.
The best explanation I heard was that any funding at all, even if it’s for a “defensive” weapon, is still funding that makes doing their genocide easier.
Another good take I heard is something along the lines of “they have healthcare and we don’t, they can fund their fucking iron dome themselves”.
As someone in my 30s I’ve been told that by folks in their 40s and 50s about hitting the 30s and so far besides a reduction in the ability to not get a hangover I’m not really seeing it… I can’t speak from experience so far but part of me wonders if that’s not just folks projecting their own specific issues onto those younger than them.
I’m not casting shade on you specifically, I don’t know your specific circumstances, it just makes me wonder how much of this is age vs how long folks have gone without exercise and have begun to atrophy. Kids play and run a lot so one could assume they’re probably more fi than we are even if they’re weaker and slower than us due to their size.
Being a father of a 6 year old who has already had a minor concussion and a bruised nose, l kinda feel this one. Little kids do seem to roll with the punches better than adults, especially if you respond less dramatically. I assume a lot of that is due to being shorter and lighter weight though, leading to less forces overall, basically the square/cube law in reverse,
However, i do find a lot of folks who complain about how fragile they are do 0 cardio or weight training in order to strengthen themselves. My single most common recommendation is to do some kinda training for both, even if it’s just once a week. I’d say it’s probably the best investment you can make up to a certain upper limit time wise.
I’m sure there are some folks with old nagging sports injuries that bother them, for me that’s my knees from 400+ pound squats, but in general I’d say I’m extremely resistant to day to day problems that affect most people besides minor to moderate muscle soreness/fatigue which mostly comes from the training itself. The only exception for me being my neck, especially from “sleeping wrong”, which makes me think I should actually do some of the exercises that actually train your neck…
Again, I’m not knocking individual folks for their specific issues, but I feel like a lot of “normal” folks’ problem is that they’re just weak from years of being sedentary and a good general fix for that is just a bit of strength and cardio training.
To me that’s a good thing because that means for most folks there is a fairly simple albeit not necessarily “easy” solution. I find problems I have the ability to directly fix are best.
No problem! Excessive humidity just sucks in general for us since our main cooling system (sweating) relies on the sweat being able to evaporate. Higher humidity means the air is already full of moisture, so evaporation slows way down and is significantly less effective.
Just keep in mind this only works if the humidity where you live is on the lower side. If you deal with high humidity where you live you won’t experience nearly as much cooling from those wet curtains or the old wet towel over a box fan trick.
The towel on your head still works though because it’s on a much smaller scale unless you’re dealing with near 100% relative humidity. Double that with a fan of some type and you’re in business.
I was searching to see if someone had posted this already because that was exactly what I wanted to contribute. Excellent work!
For a while I was making them alongside a handful of scrambled eggs as well as chopped onions and peppers to make a mix I would fill into tortillas for breakfast burritos.
I love me some breakfast burritos.
