@cryptodavidw Advice to the poor from the rich is always a distraction from what the poor should actually do. In this case, the hypocrisy is instructive, and the ad hominem useful to the majority of us.
English
I believe these are called ad hominem or tu quoque fallacies. If you can't find an issue with someone's argument, attack them personally ("but, you don't do what you preach"). I think the more people know about these fallacies and call them out the better. Maybe we should have a fallacy bot on twitter that detect these?

@UltraRunner26 Have you tried 0 miles for a while (few months)?

One of the best ways to love your children is to love your spouse. Who can accurately measure how much love one gives to one over another (though people do try)?
maddie rune🪰@themaddierune
Men, do you believe you should love your wife or your children more? Because to love your children more than your wife is to love what you created over what you chose. To prioritize legacy over intimacy, innocence over complexity. It’s the emotional math of men who mistake proximity for depth and responsibility for romance. The child is a mirror of potential; the wife, a mirror of self. One absorbs your hopes, the other reflects your failures. Between chosen and created lies the quiet tragedy of men who love safest: where love is inherited, not negotiated; where devotion is automatic, not earned. And maybe that’s the point? Some men love their children more because the children never asked them to change.

It's impossible to fight "shifting baseline syndrome".

the climate crisis is not the credits rolling at the end of a film. you are just going to keep living through whatever catastrophes follow and continue living as your material situation worsens

@unherd @sunraysunray Sport hasn't been about "civic friendship" for a while now, and unless we moderate or abandon capitalism, will not be again. Marketing to human vices is big business.
English
Sports betting has not only sparked an addiction crisis, but degraded the very idea of sports as a means to build civic friendship.

@tim_roozendaal It's not nonsense. For some, like me, wearing minimal running shoes is best. I acknowledge it's not for everyone, but I'm glad they exist - they have extended my running "career"!
English
We have to stop this nonsense.
Multiple studies show that technologically advanced running shoes decrease load on areas that are related to most running related injuries.
Running in minimalist shoes is sold to be a lifetime solution to prevent injuries but it often leads to:
- Injuries
- Decreased performance
- Losing enjoyment in running
If you believe in minimalist shoes, you have to run in the forest or on beaches, not on asphalt.
I'm all for foot health and take the basics principles in day to day life, like wearing toe socks, frequently wearing toe spacers and wearing wide toe box shoes.
But to give up enjoyment, perfomance and injury prevention because it is how we are supposed to run is not the path I choose.
The 6-10 hours of running each week are not going to ruin your feet.

@bensima @tim_roozendaal @grok Shoes that have zero drop and very little padding. Marketing has convinced most that millions and millions of years of evolution made a mistake with our feet and we should really have some weird slabs of fat on the bottom of our feet. Our soles are nerve packed for a reason.

I wonder what this means for support for Hamas in the future. It is hard to kill ideologies but in some sense ideologies need to be seen to be succeeding to maintain support for them. It doesn't seem very appealing if Hamas can only offer more repeats of this.

Prospects for a single male in his 50s are kind of depressing. All the good ones are married and the leftovers are liberal.

@GuruAnaerobic 58, and can relatively easily run a 5:15 mile still, but I know I'm nowhere near a sub-13 100m!
English
Running a sub-13sec 100m at 50 is far more difficult than running a sub-6min one mile.
Most 50yrs don't have the intrinsic speed, (as they didn't when they were young). Even if they were 'fast' as youngsters, the degradation of the body over 3 decades will prevent them ever running fast again. The demands and forces involved of training to run fast will brutally highlight the deterioration of joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles - meaning repeated niggles and injuries; quality training is impossible.
However hard it is to run a sub-6 one mile, it mostly involves the physiological, it doesn't have anywhere near the demands on the chassis. It's the body's structure which deteriorates the most in age.
