Ok, if you want to assume the worst, I guess you'll assume I'm lying too. Doesn't bother me, I'm just describing good things.

I was a wildland firefighter, and eventually suffered an it band tear. Im almost 40 and after lots of PT I paid a lot of money for, I'm happy to be running long distances again and certainly jumping or whatever. Prior to that I worked landscaping and field surveying.

Believe what you want, health and wellness is possible for almost anyone. Aside traumatic injury (surgery, recovery, etc), wellness routines are accessible to anyone. Cost is not the limiting factor. Age is DEFINITELY not the limiting factor. Of course when I say "age doesn't matter, and wellness is accessible" I'm not speaking over those with traumatic injury or congenital issues.

Have a good one, however you want that statement.

Edit my post op rehab was a lot of sessions that cost money. most folks don't need anything like that, just more movement and exercise. Motion is lotion.

Nah, you're good friend. I'm being grumpy after some shit on politics and that isn't your fault. I tried to read too much or too little into your comments. I see now you are just trying to say it is never too late to start a more active life style. Sorry for being a butt hole, and I do hope you have a good night

All good my dude. I get defensive because regaining, and maintaining my physical health is one of the "happy" things in life, and I'm guilty of assuming what works for me works for others. I tried to emphasize that everyone deserves wellness, whatever shape that takes..., and if you aren't happy with the norm, well, get fuckin angry about it! Lol

Have a good one. Politics will get me riled up too haha

A case of arguing the same point from opposite directions, and being too gung-ho to realize.

Sadly, it wasn't exactly politics, but the mods adding new rules and removing my comments, while bad faith actors roam free. The same rule they cited for removing my comments said to act in good faith. They told me to report the comment, so I did. Still sitting there, in all of its bad faith glory. Sorry, I just needed to vent

I'm experiencing the same. Concerned with the...interests? Of the mods here.

but ultimately it's their ballpit, we're just shitting in it.

Yeah, I really don't like it. Leaving a super bad taste in my mouth. You are right though, which is why I am biting my tongue
