I was driving my mom's brand new Mercedes suv on a family road trip (for perspective I have a 2006 diesel van with 300k+ miles on it). Absolutely hated the thing. The worst was I was causing on the highway atb74mph and that auto adjust crap slowed ke down to 30mph! On the highway! Not sure if it was a service bug or what but kinda terrifying.

It is a tricky situation isn't it? We wouldn't have gotten where we are without fossil fuels, but now we realize they are not sustainable to be dependent on and we cannot continue this level of growth. I don't think it is actually possible using current means to power what we have come to know as a "first-world lifestyle" for the majority of the planet.

Large problem with social media ad targeting recommendations. They are completely unweighted.

What you think you are targeting : 'business owners researching startups and investing'.

And somehow your ads get pushed to 'people with interest in dogs' when you go with the recommendations.

I am in Bangkok right now and while there is public transportation at every corner the air quality is still super low. I took this post as the rich are falling out of love with LUXURY cars. I got passed by a Lamborghini today while walking the streets and said to my friend, while everyone else was busy trying to snap pictures, that I would only be impressed if he could do his own oil change.

I expect $tatus $ymbols to continue falling out of favor and be replaced by self sufficiency. Rich are also falling out of love with alcohol and falling in love with fitness. This is good for everyone.

The only thing that is humorous and disheartening is that your outlook is shared by the majority and for this, we are fucked. The inability of large corporations to best what is available to EVERY PERSON, for FREE, is a BLESSING. All these companies do is add layers of complexity or outright push a worse product and rely on changing public opinion or how info is perceived for sales. This is capitalism's kiss of death. Their goal is not healing, their goal is removal of symptoms where you will be held in perpetual subsistence. And we should never let that be forgotten.

On a macro level if you want to improve your health : Less processed foods, less synthetic materials, less pharmaceuticals, less time sitting and indoors. Less alcohol, less weed, Less involvement from these "professionals" all across the board. Less, less, less. Wow, isn't that weird?

For those who will comment for arguments sake, I would rather you provide examples of the sitting President promoting overall good health practices (read: FREE) rather than his usual gaslighting the public into taking an untested pharmaceutical product.

This is so admirably true. My workout story started at 30. I spent one year doing pull ups, dips, push ups, squats.. various weight training as well. At a certain point I had improved my diet just to change my workouts. I want as many blessings to resonate through me from the universe as possible. I don't even have any preconceptions of what those will be; I have done my best to accept them. The effects of time under tension become remarkable for mental and cardiovascular health if you find a routine you enjoy. Start with a group, friend who goes, many non-national gyms will even have someone let you around if you call in.

For me it was the local park having some shaded calisthenics equipment. Do a search in your area!! There is no pressure there, its outside, there is people of course it improves you! It can teach you all you need to know for atleast 6 months to a year if you let it.

Anyone you come across will either not bother or be very friendly. Most commonly the regulars working out at these parks have a cool and unique mindset and would answer any workout question for you. After a year THEN try all that fancy stuff you would have possibly ego-lifted, struggled/injured yourself on. You will be amazed at your performance.
