Most adults are just big children with better spatial awareness

That's exactly it, when you never have to think about where your foot needs to go, it's overwhelming when every step requires a decision.

Like I've ran a trail race with an injury so I was mostly walking or slow jogging. People would be faster than me on roads connecting the mountains, but I would pass them on the trails just by virtue of being good at running on rocks and uneven ground.

Bread mold

So I can't actually find anything from a quick search that tells me what "bread poisoning" is. Searches show results for both moldy bread as well as ergotism. Just about every source on the Internet tells me that eating a bunch of moldy bread should just give you a bad case of shits or vomits. But if someone is immunocompromised or has gut issues it could be worse.

But if this was ergot poisoning that's different and doesn't have much to do with ordinary bread mold.

Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs

Why is everyone acting surprised, this has been Gabe's thing for a long time? He's super into boats and submarines and owns a submarine company or something like that. i think I'm burned out from the news cycle, getting outraged by this just feels like a waste of my emotional energy that I could spend somewhere it will matter.

Why are people speculating that the most recent Trump assassination attempt was fake?

Trump's whole term in office has been difficult to follow. What's going on now? What's the truth and what isn't? Politicians lie, but trump is the best at misinformation.

The thing is that we don't know, but because of the environment his administration has created, you have to doubt everything he says and be skeptical of every event they're involved in.

The conspiratorial culture of the far right is infecting every aspect of his administration. At this point it doesn't really matter what's true and what's fabricated, so long as it can be spun into a media event to feed his ego.

I need to take a break from the Internet.

[TimRoss] You don't know me

I think it really sucks that not everyone has access to exercise. Some folks are injured or disabled, some are just too big, and some folks just don't have anything enjoyable around them/the means.

If people had an outlet burn 500+ extra calories a day that they really enjoyed and had the time to do, we could make a very significant dent in obesity.

All I'm saying is that fitness ought to be fun.
