- Comment on Is jogging on sidewalks harder on joints than if one jogged on dirt? 1 year ago:
The strongest indicator that shoes will work for you, according to the research is… Do they feel good? I’d suggest going to a running store and trying on different brands and jogging around the store. Once you find a confy pair, you probably chose well.

That was my immediate thought. This is obviously the output of an LLM.

All the people saying “yes” are incorrect. Running on pavement and running on trails exert different strains on the body, but not less. The tendency in road runners is to end up with tibial stress fractions, and in trail runners it is metatarsal stress fractures, but the injury rates are similar. Trail running requires stronger stabilizer muscles (primarily gluteus medius) to maintain knee health in the long term, but this is a problem for both as well.
Use good shoes, strength train your gluteus medius and calves, do most of your miles at an easy pace, and you’ll be running for decades.
(My credentials are that i am an ultramarathoner and have run half a dozen races between 26.2 and 50 miles, in pavement and trail, and i have been coached by a professional ultra runner for several seasons.)
- Comment on College Students Dump Dating Apps as Bumble CEO Steps Down 1 year ago:
This is ultimately a big part of it, and it’s universal, not just in dating. Most friendships are “friendships of convenience” and the other types of relationships typically progress from there. But in western culture, we don’t have any third places, and so we just plain don’t make friendships of convenience anymore.

I’ve found several long term relationships off tinder as a WLW. It seems to work pretty well for me. The system doesn’t seem to be working for guys, and that’s unfortunate. But a lot of the pressure on women to settle for any man has gone away as women have become more self reliant. The whole thing has become far more consensual and less mandatory for survival. That’s going to influence men’s dating success no matter what medium people use to find matches.

I only want gay sex in media. Straight sex makes me uncomfortable.
- Comment on What are good places to frequently check / 'be' on the internet besides lemmy / reddit / social media? 1 year ago:
Discord is where i went. It’s annoying that it’s less indexable, but that’s also protected it from malicious advertising.
- Comment on Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life? 1 year ago:
No, you should not. Read about Ted Kaczynski. We’re naturally social creatures. Isolation is very very bad for our mental health. If you’re feeling misanthropic now, it will get worse when you’re not around people.
It might be good for you to take a sabbatical and hike one of the triple crown trails. But the important part is to not isolate yourself completely.

I go to the gym 4x/week. I just… Shower every day. 🤨
If you shave your armpits, you should look into aluminum accumulation in your breasts.

Throw off the shackles of Big Deodorant. Girls don’t need it since our body odor is generally much lower, and it could potentially be unhealthy for us.
Also, girl smell 🤤

- Comment on I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. 1 year ago:
I started posting on 4chan in 2005 😏 my favorite communities on reddit were little isolated bubbles of 4chan refugees. Mainstream reddit culture was pretty bad, and 4chan got overrun by maga weirdos in 2016. So far Lemmy seems like mostly the worst parts of reddit with a few of the good parts. It feels like the default subs, just slower.
