Thanks for posting, didn’t know about that!

To be fair I mainly wanted to jokingly tell the commentator that both china and the us are guilty of this, so I just mentioned a third country that I thought was decent. Thanks for educating :)

Like, the Netherlands or something maybe?

I’ve never heard of a country where places give you extra drink for free just because you asked for less ice, to be honest. I know some bartenders who joke about the people who think asking for less ice will get them more.

Hey we’re pretty similar in regards to running! I started in May. I’m training for a 10k in May of this year.

I even made the same frustrating experience this week! I ran 8k in 50mins on Monday. Wanted to up my pace yesterday and was so out of breath after 2k that I tasted metal. Felt like I basically had to crawl home after that.

I googled and apparently if you do want to up your pace, you should try to run faster for only the last 10 mins or so of your run. But don’t overdo it because apparently it’s literally physiologically different within your muscles whether you run fast or far. And the changes training does are different, too: Usain Bolt at his peak wouldn’t have done very well at a marathon.

But I, for one, am fine training endurance for now. Maybe I’ll try to up my pace at a later point in time!

You don’t need to know what they consider active, just give them a toggle so they can decide.

Either way, sprinting to marathon isn’t a progression. Speed and endurance are different skills with different training plans. There’s a reason they’re separate Olympic disciplines.

I wouldn’t say it offends me, but it is a bit annoying when someone wears a weirdly modernized/made-sexy version of the traditional clothes of my region, when they’re from somewhere else and don’t give a shit about the history. Like, it’s not problematic or anything, like it would be with religious items or clothing of marginalized groups, but I’d still prefer they don’t.

Edit: shit, my bad, I somehow thought this was a reply to my other comment. Deleted. Sorry!

I do know that that’s the mechanism, yeah. I kinda wanted to know how it actually feels though, cause I’m sensorily sensitive. Like, do you not notice, or do you feel paralyzed, or stuff in some way?

If it matters, I’ve been considering it for excessive sweating.

I’m a little bit happier since I trained myself not to give a shit what others do with their bodies. Especially aesthetic choices, regardless of how ‘subtle’ or ‘excessive’. Takes a bit of mental practice to get there though.

I might be reading into it, but I thought the joke was that parents can react childishly when you change your appearance in a way they don’t approve of. My mum keeps saying ‘ooops I thought there was snot hanging from your nose but it’s just you piercing’, for example.

I’ve been vaguely curious to try it. Are you joking or can you really not move your face easily? Cause I think I’d dislike that.

Sometimes I drink so much water that I start noticing that I get thirstier the more I drink. Electrolytes are key then.

It didn’t say that. I said the opposite: you can’t be sure it’s ethical when it’s free, because it’s much less transparent then.

If you want to be reasonably certain it’s ethically made, you kind of have to pay for porn.

Edit: also, if you want something specific that free sites don’t cater to. Like lesbian porn that isn’t obviously only meant to appeal to men.

Even worse when you’re really hungry but your flatmates are hanging out in the kitchen

In my experience, you’re exempt if it’s from your native language. Unless they can’t tell your native language from your accent (people can tell I’m not a native speaker of English, but they can’t tell what my native language is). British are similar.

How do the people around you pronounce it? I don’t think I’d understand it if it were pronounced differently

Hm, but reacting negatively to someone pronouncing it, for lack of a better term, the original way IS presciptivism. This isn’t about someone who pronounces a Spanish word the Spanish way criticizing someone who pronounces it the English way, but the other way around.

I’m curious, what is it?

To be honest, when I’m speaking German, I pronounce it as French as I can (foh-pah), but when I’m speaking English, I pronounce it like the English speakers do (foe-pah).
