Too bad for both of you, there’s already a term: ripoff.

As someone who also drinks … don’t. It is terrible for your cardio and definitely contributes to feeling like death, because your heart is recovering from some toxicity if you’ve drank within 24 hours or maybe more.

Other than that, other people have good advice. The ‘zone 2’ stuff is probably most relevant if you’re already semi-fit.

Other than that, all I can say is, the first ~5 minutes of any heavy cardio are going to suck, roughly for ever. Even in good shape, it takes the body a good long moment to warm up. I’m sure a proper warmup could reduce the, “I’m dying” feeling down to a, “yep, this is work”, but if you drank within a day, the feeling will be very easy to get regardless.

At least use your fucking brain and call them rallies. They are not protests. Nearly at all…

I don’t.

Which means the average dumbass that thinks existence isn’t torture quickly stops responding to me. Which means I am quickly alone yet again.

Do better than that. For your own sake, do better than that.

Eh. Misanthropy, while understandable for many of the weirdos on the fediverse (like me), can very easily reach illogical levels.

Usually it’s when combined with social anxiety. That can make for straight up antisocial behavior when being a jerk is the last thing on someones’ mind.

Definitely don’t play Sharks and Minnows, then…

It is definitely their entire world, but the point is it takes far more than a few cells to create actual human-relatable sentience.

That’s coming from someone who fully understands and knows that many more animals than most humans care to admit also have sentience.

Those petri dishes are not sentient nor conscious.

Anything above 0 is already entering unethical territory, so…

Slowly? Those things would ‘die’ in under 24 hours!

Not really. It’s not nearly enough cells to have any kind of consciousness as we know it. A few neurons learning to play a game is a far cry from tying a being into a simulation of hell.

Global warming due to the co2 we’ve already dumped will destroy us anyways. The “AI” slop is just the cherry on top that will guarantee societal collapse instead of just mass migrations and water wars.

They’ve definitely cut back on flavor this past year. Not just on pizza flavor. I stopped buying any of them because they’re not worth it any more. Bunch of extra calories for no taste? They can fuck off and die.

That might be the words they said while completely ignoring the examples, but those examples made it abundantly clear that they meant gendered pronouns.

You can address someone without gendered pronouns… they even gave examples.

Again, you’re not arguing with me, but with the companies that will spend millions to save pennies…

The US is special in that bribery is (now openly) legal. These corporations will not change just because Congress says so. They’ll just change congress.

Most people with half a brain. Besides, road signs was just one example about cost, not feasability. Other industries, like construction, have a whole lot more invested in specific units.

Again, yes it’s possible to switch, and I think it’d be worth it, but… again, go convince those industries that do everything possible to save pennies per product and tell them they have to change…

I already said it’s an effort I think is worth it.

Go ahead and try to convince the thousands of corporations that are willing to spend millions lobbying Congress to save pennies per product that they suddenly need to change over such an arbitrary detail…

Not US ones. Not the US wing of international ones.

Seriously, you do not fathom what I’m talking about…

For ONE example: Road signage. There are millions of mile markers in the US alone. That doesn’t include bigger signs, like, “X service in Y miles”. That doesn’t include a lot.

Do you know how much each mile marker sign costs, let alone the much bigger signage? Even at tens of dollars, that’s a lot of money, for one type of sign.

How many industries and other areas of daily life so you think include such verbiage?

Besides, I already said it’s an effort I think is worth it, so you’re just being a shithead.

The real answer is entire industries are already set up to produce certain measurements of materials. Outside of all the idiots whining, it would cost trillions to change many industries over to cleanly divisible products that would fit cleanly through the rest of supply chains.

An effort that I think should happen, but… well…

Well just because they question why doesn’t mean an affluent person will arrive at an answer more than, “because I can”.
