A bit harsh. I was left thinking deeper about the subject matter by the end. If that’s not the goal of this kind of writing then I don’t know what is. I enjoyed this read.

Fiber and a fuckload of Kefir/Greek Yogurt literally reset my digestive system. No woo, pseudosciency bullshit. I just figured I needed to do something and knew fiber was good and the bacteria in greek yogurt was good for gut health. Shoveled that shit down my gullet for a week and it literally fixed me. I thought I had IBS as I had terrible bathroom experiences for over ten years. That era is over. Gotta stick with good dietary habits moving forward though.

Fair question.

To me, the run is what kickstarts my motivation to do anything with my day. Days/weeks where I can’t run, like this past week for me (minor back/hip related pain from overdoing it in my first ever curling games last weekend) make it really hard for me to do almost anything. I’ll want to do something, like play guitar or video games but the moment I sit down to do them I’m just completely meh about it, putting me at risk of doom scrolling or some other waste of time.

When I run, I feel more alive than at any other time and that feeling carries through the day and affects everything I do. Its one of the biggest positive forces in my life.

You don’t have to go hard either. A 10 minute easy wake up run is unfathomably more effective than a coffee for me. That said, I drink a lot of coffee too. Haha.

I never thought I’d be a runner. Ever. I laughed when my wife asked me to go for a run the first time. I’ve been running for three years now. I was averaging 45km/week last year and aim to run my first marathon this summer. It had a snowballing positive effect on almost every aspect of my life so I’m 100% dedicated to keeping that ball rolling.

Yeah. In my summer running schedule I have some 1.5hr morning runs. Seems like a lot (tbf it is) but those are the days that I have the most energy throughout the day. The more I exert, the more I get in return provided I’m eating adequately.

Long morning run days leave me feeling invincible for the rest of the day.

Tbf a mile isn’t a long run at all. Maybe 10 minutes? Good wake up for sure.

Good point. I’ve never seen it framed this way before. Poignant.

The movement has a lot of steam over here. I’m seeing churches using their billboards to promote buying Canadian. When the churches get involved, shit starts to spread quick.

Hello! 👋

Link isn’t working for me but I think I already shared it with my family.

I love the layout of this article. Really engaging. Looking forward to reading this later.

People that voted for Trump think the Dems are and have been destroying America. The general perspective seems to be “the party I voted against is trying to destroy my country”. Propaganda and foreign interference has gotten America to this point. Poor education standards aren’t helping.

The block button is key to curating your general daily experience on Lemmy. Obviously block anything you don’t like, but also use it if you’re not interested in a specific scene or topic. You can always remove the block later if you want. I think of the block button more like the “Not Interested” button on Youtube.

All genres of music need compression and saturation if you want the song to feel like its a cohesive thing; glued together, if you will. If you push it too far you get loudness issues. You can hear distortion artifacts and the instruments can start to kinda blend together too much, creating a bit of a smeared effect in certain frequency ranges. I’ll have to spin this on my speakers to see if I feel the same about it. I listened to it on headphones initially.

Welcome!

I streamed it on the Youtube Music app. I have it set for max quality. Its not like listening to lossless files, but its absolutely fine. This record is just loud like Death Magnetic is. They really saturated the hell out of almost everything. Makes for a harsh listen IMO. Lots of cool shit going on in the mix, but it feels smeared out in the 3khz to 6khz range.

Its such a loud record. I had a hard time getting past the loudness. I gave it a few tracks but ended up moving on to something else. Felt like some mix elements were just plain over saturated too. Harsh listen even for Deathcore.

Failed in my dream career, got let go. Wallowing in despair my brother told me to apply at the company he worked for; entry level IT service desk-type role. I had no experience. Figured eh fuck it. What’sanother failure? I got nothing to lose. Can’t expect anything good if you don’t try.

It changed my life. I have a decent paying job, good career prospects, a loving wife and a house of my own. From rock bottom to something worth living for.

That price is insane when the Miyoo Mini+ is under $100 CAD.

I can appreciate your viewpoint here, but there are a lot of good people in this world that are married to absolute scumbags.

Interesing read. Thanks for posting.
