They do this to preserve calories, humans are not the same kind of predator we never ran after prey we used our minds to come up with better methods. But thinking is also calorie intensive. When you realise the purpose of thinking is to solve a problem and then stop thinking to preserve calories. Explains a lot of world problems 😂

Mark Strong and Stanley Tucci look so alike, it’s actually quite scary. Maybe they were twins separated at birth.

You can know intellectually that we live in a "female-oriented" culture or whatever you want to call it, but you don't really experience that until you have a son & are looking for books at your local library about fire trucks or trains (which he suddenly became fascinated with at 20 months without any prompting) & without exaggeration, the only ones I could find were a single Thomas the Tank Engine book & one called "The Train" (how my eyes lit up!) which turned out to be about Native Americans forced to go to residential schools. Zip for anything about fire trucks or firefighters, not even in the Kids' Science / Technology section. I have begun to suspect that the emphasis on dinosaurs in our culture, besides providing unofficial promotion for the Jurassic Park franchise, exists to give boys a watered down outlet for masculine interests since dinosaurs are something powerful, with conflict & danger involved. But it's all inherently neutered, because they've been dead & gone since forever, they're safely in the past. A similar thing applies to superheroes; they're not real & their conflicts aren't really relatable so they're deemed acceptable for boys. Anyways, I know this has gotten worse since I was a kid in the 90s because yeah the libraries were run by libtard women then too, & there were plenty of books about dinosaurs in the wake of Jurassic Park, but there were also plenty of those Stephen Biesty cross-section books about castles etc, or Richard Scarry books about fire stations, & those books are still in print but the point of a public library (ostensibly) is to provide a well rounded opportunity for education. Of course they have a dedicated wall for whatever made up event like Latinx Heritage Month or Pacific Islander Appreciation month, but you'll have to hunt & peck for anything a normal young boy might be interested in.

When I walk for more than 5 km I get pissed off and want to kill myself. When I do interval runs for 5 km it works.

Charles Dickens fought his depression by walking through London at night. One October he set out at 2 in the morning and walked 30 miles, all the way to his country home in Kent. In 1860 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 150 years to catch up. Dickens called his bad spells "spectres." They came back every time he started a new novel and sometimes hung on for months. His mood would fall apart, his sleep would collapse, and the only thing that pulled him out was walking. He explained his method in an essay called "Night Walks," published on July 21, 1860 in his weekly magazine All the Year Round. He had tried fighting his insomnia from bed and lost. So he changed the plan. The fix, he wrote, was "getting up directly after lying down, and going out, and coming home tired at sunrise." A worried mind cannot fix itself by worrying more in bed. You have to get up and move. Most nights he walked 12 to 20 miles. A friend called it "violent walking." Dickens wrote that on these walks his wandering self had "many miles upon miles of streets in which it could, and did, have its own solitary way." Today, walking is one of the most powerful tools doctors have against depression. In 2012 a team of researchers pulled together eight high-quality studies of walking as a depression treatment. The effect was as strong as the antidepressants doctors actually prescribe. The biggest test came from Duke University. The SMILE study took 202 adults with serious depression and split them into four groups: supervised exercise, home exercise, the drug Zoloft, or a placebo pill. After 16 weeks, the people who exercised did just as well as the people on Zoloft. A 2024 review of 75 studies covering 8,636 patients confirmed it. Walking should be one of the first things doctors try. The reason is the thing Dickens stumbled onto in the dark. Depression runs on rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches. In 2015 Stanford researchers scanned people's brains before and after a 90-minute walk in a quiet park. The walkers had less activity in a part of the brain called the subgenual prefrontal cortex. That spot, deep behind your forehead, is the brain's worry loop. After the walk, the worry loop got quieter. The walkers said they felt less stuck inside their own heads. The brain scans agreed. A walking body shuts up a noisy mind. The street takes attention, the walking rhythm fills the head, and the dark spells lose their grip. Dickens called the streets his cure because they gave his brain somewhere else to be. The science 150 years later says he had it right. Depression hates a brain that is moving.

Again... Megan Ellison, the OWNER of the company that made and published this game plus was heavily involved in its making is the daughter of the 5th Richest man on the planet Larry Ellison. That's how they managed to get copyrighted music that would cost millions just to play once...

A study at Northumbria University found that this type of dancing is what females find the most attractive.
