    haha, this is it, this artist achieved expertise over layout.

    I like a lot of their ideas, but this one is executed pretty flawlessly.

    very funny.

        If I remember right there was an episode where they summoned him without heart, and he was a jerk.

          that’s really interesting. I listened to a podcast with one of the writers, or maybe the creator, I can’t remember right now, and he talked about how sincere everybody was about creating the superhero who could actually change the cultural lack of concern about climate change.

          and what’s super cool is like statistically and culturally, it looks like the show worked.

          like yeah everything is still fucked, but it would have been way worse a generation earlier if a bunch of awesome nerds didn’t make Captain planet for generation x so they would become horrified over climate change.

    I actually keep a velcro wrap in the backpack I take everywhere because between decades of being a dancer, soccer player, and a roller derby skater and the injuries I had doing those things, coupled with my age, it’s eminently possible for me to just ‘step wrong’ and have to wrap up an ankle.

    Being a father of a 6 year old who has already had a minor concussion and a bruised nose, l kinda feel this one. Little kids do seem to roll with the punches better than adults, especially if you respond less dramatically. I assume a lot of that is due to being shorter and lighter weight though, leading to less forces overall, basically the square/cube law in reverse,

    However, i do find a lot of folks who complain about how fragile they are do 0 cardio or weight training in order to strengthen themselves. My single most common recommendation is to do some kinda training for both, even if it’s just once a week. I’d say it’s probably the best investment you can make up to a certain upper limit time wise.

    I’m sure there are some folks with old nagging sports injuries that bother them, for me that’s my knees from 400+ pound squats, but in general I’d say I’m extremely resistant to day to day problems that affect most people besides minor to moderate muscle soreness/fatigue which mostly comes from the training itself. The only exception for me being my neck, especially from “sleeping wrong”, which makes me think I should actually do some of the exercises that actually train your neck…

    Again, I’m not knocking individual folks for their specific issues, but I feel like a lot of “normal” folks’ problem is that they’re just weak from years of being sedentary and a good general fix for that is just a bit of strength and cardio training.

    To me that’s a good thing because that means for most folks there is a fairly simple albeit not necessarily “easy” solution. I find problems I have the ability to directly fix are best.

      I agree, a lot of these “injuries” are just neglect of your body and bad posture that build up a debt in your body over time.

      I used to be really fit until I get a desk job. I recenly bought some kettle bells to get back into shape.

    Man I opened a window in September 24 that unexpectedly was a bit harder to open. When turning my hand, a pain went though my wrist. Since then my wrist is fucked up, it hurts a lot. I have been to the doctor, doing physiotherapy, wearing an orthosis etc.

    I opened a window and destroyed my wrist, it sucks to be old.

      I’m 35 and I can still count on one hand the times I threw out my back. All of them happened when I was a full time trucker and didn’t go to the gym.

        Significantly older and never have had it. I don’t do gym, but am fairly active.

        My father has gotten to 70 without significant back pain, though he started to get some hip pain a couple years after retirement but started walking and that seems to have gotten better.
