Be skeptical of any research that shows the health risks / benefits of a behavior that can also be correlated to wealth.

Is quinoa good for you? Or do rich people get better healthcare?

I think about this a lot.

Like that study that showed a link between good health and having a horse.

Bet mercedes works too.

Don’t forget eating lots of ice cream correlates with higher levels of vitamin D.

Is it a coincidence that one of the oldest rules we have is “Take a goddamn break once a week”?

It sounds amazing in theory. It’s not working out well for me.

If nothing else, try to not forget the stupid walks for the stupid mental health.

I kept a drinking habit during covid while i didnt work. Every few days id walk a couple miles to the gas station and buy beer to then carry home. I got my walks in then could go to sleep after a few beers.

I've tried and it is actually called depression and was not fun

It's pretty good for 1-2 weeks depending on context. I take about 10 days off in spring with family to decompress after about 6 months of winter and work's usual BS. It's glorious.

yeah was going to say. I do not endorse this.

CEOs reading that: "Everyone, get ready for 6 days of work per week!"

Pretty unhealthy actually, both physically, and emotionally.

Doesn't mean I won't keep trying.

Look, even good things in excess become negatives. We should have five lazy days and then have two non-lazy days when the week ends.

I feel like I'm incapable of doing anything and am an utter failure of a human being. Doing nothing all the time is best to be avoided, take my word for it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Doing things takes energy. We must conserve energy to save the environment. So being lazy is therefore good for the environment by transitive property.
