I used to do cross country in high school, and there was this guy on the team that was wonderful. Great guy. But his advice to everyone that asked how to get good was to run 20k a day.

If you don't run, I'll just tell you, most people's bodies cannot take that kind of abuse. No matter how much you train, you will not be able to run 20k a day. It's like how you can't train to make your cuts heal faster. You recover as fast as you recover. So while a big part of what made this guy so succesful was the dedication and mental toughness needed to actually run 20k a day, an equally big part was that he healed like fucking Wolverine. And that's fine, but it would've been nice if he knew that and stopped telling new guys to commit suicide by jogging.

Different guy on the team ran like, 5-6k a day, which actually isn't all that much. His problem when he gave advice was that he didn't really get that 5-6k a day doesn't generally produce elite results for most people. He was lucky in the sense that he didn't have to work all that hard to get great results, and unlucky in the sense that if he pushed himself much further than that, he fell apart.

I think about those two whenever I get advice from succesful people. The very things that make them outliers also make their advice useless to most people. Worse, they're often outliers on totally separate ends of the same spectrum, so their advice will be contradictory.

...Welp, we've been married for a week now.

Holy crap.

I'll probably draw more later. I've been a bit distracted as you can imagine 🙈 Hope everyone's been well!

I haven't hit anybody nor shielded anyone from blows. Please don't touch my genitals.

If any women wanna suck my dick for this, in the past month I’ve stuck my body in front of oncoming blows to shield both a child and a woman.

Granted, the blows were coming from a child in both cases—but they still hurt!

the number of kids diagnosed with gender dysphoria in sweden has decreased by 37% in two years. the number of girls diagnosed has more than halved. almost like it was a social contagion/trend all along.

the article features an influencer couple who bravely let their son paint his nails, watch frozen, and wear girl clothes without seeking a diagnosis, because he isn't experiencing distress.

this is the stats on kids under age 15 diagnosed with gender dysphoria since 2014:

*me, drunkenly pressing my face against my 17 year old cats face*: I love you. Do you know that? I hope that somewhere in your brain you can understand that I love you. You have been with me for so long. We have grown up together. I was only eight years old when you came into my life as a kitten. We were both babies. Please understand that I love you more than I can ever say. You are my companion through everything. When you die I will sob and scream and beg for you back, even for a moment. When you rest your paw against my hands there's a connection that passes through time. Humans and animals, bonded since before history began. I love you.

No, you cannot eat my sandwich.

hey so last night i was looking for charming teddy bears, and what should have been a just and noble quest devolved into a horrible discovery:

for around 200 big ones, you can purchase a teddy bear with the body of a man and the eyes of a creature that knows it should not exist

this sentence came so far out of left field i reflexively closed the tab and had to open it up again to take this screenshot. i mean like yes its true that mushrooms are not plants but ive literally never ever ever ever met or even heard of anyone anywhere at any time who has used this definition of a plant-based diet

hm. I am American and I think bubble tea shops in America put in too much ice. It's nice on a 35C/95F summer afternoon, but too much at any other time.

usamericans do you realise that a stereotype we have about u is that you really really love ice. like the amount of ice you put in your drinks and all your ice machines are really silly to us. do your fridges genuinely produce ice????
