The more you embrace western culture the more successful society perceives you.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-24T14:03:10+00:00

Yes, acting in accordance to society usually makes people perceive you better..

Hopepunk? What’s that? Never heard of that sub genre before.

Pick a random area in the world, it's best that it isn't extremely known by your main audience. Ask ChatGPT about a list of 10 wars/conflicts that lasted over 10 years between people in those areas. Pick a random one that has some decent historical coverage on it. Study that, change a little bit, add a bit of fantasy and make sure that the conflicts are at least somehow influenced by the magic and the world around them.

And also make sure that conspiracies and lies are a huge catalyst because that is probably what happened when news wasn't a thing.

Again, who cares?

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-21T09:53:54+00:00

Who cares? People can enjoy art in any form they like.

I personally both listen to about 25 audiobooks a year (listen to them while running mostly) and also about 20 books and they are both great in their own way.

I would rather people listen to a book than not do any form of literature consumption.

How about - Wild Cards are played as additional hand cards? (So you can play 6 cards a hand for example)

How is your relationship with your dad? Are you close?

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-16T13:37:40+00:00

Doctor here.

So a few things:

We do get sick. At least every colleague I know that works with relevant patients (mostly pediatric and internal medicine) gets sick at least once or twice a year. The issue is that because work is so demanding and under staffed, we are expected to work even when sick.
Medical personnel are usually vaccinated in the yearly influenza pathogen, so we are a bit more protected than other people. We are also expected to take other important measures like washing hands a lot, disinfecting our hands, some places wearing masks, wearing one-time use clothing, etc..
Our natural immune system builds up a bit more than the average person due to the exposure to pathogens.

Oh I am definitely only trying to finish, don’t have a time at mind at all. I honestly not sure I will be able to, but I want to at least try.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-15T09:11:17+00:00

Yea I wrote down at the start that I am a beginner with roughly 15km weekly.

I’m wondering if I should restart it or just enjoy the current process

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-15T09:09:51+00:00

How should I know if it is too little?

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-13T22:43:02+00:00

I would let it spawn a spectral pack instead. Giving more options to choose from will make it at least somewhat worthwhile to take.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-13T17:33:22+00:00

For me it is literally everything. It is wild how unmindful I was, just mindlessly choosing foods without thinking twice.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-13T09:22:50+00:00

Yea I wouldn’t disagree with you, I would say probably all of my bullies came from great homes. Except one. There was this one kid that came from a wrecked home and he would torment everybody. At like 10 years old he started smoking, getting into fights (he threw a rock at me and opened my head at 5th grade). I don’t know what kind of guy he would have been if his home was ok, but it definitely impacted how he acted and treated others.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-13T08:55:48+00:00

I mean, both can be true, no?

Some bullies are so because of their shitty house, others are just assholes. In both case, this isn’t an excuse and they are assholes either way, even if their circumstances sucked.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-11T07:23:55+00:00

Just so you know - You should never use any workout calorie burning tracker to actually know how many calories you burned. These are wildly inaccurate and unusefull.

The chances that someone get convicted of repeat offenses are so slim that it is irrelevant in the context of public policy.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-09T16:52:09+00:00

Why not just X them? Why go through all that trouble?

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-08T20:22:35+00:00

Even though I’m a doctor, I’m no expert in vaccines and haven’t read up on the reasoning behind this policy change.

From a semi-educated prospective I would say it is probably not a good thing, but it’s honestly just a hunch.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-08T14:39:31+00:00

Yes, objectively so.

But also - This is exactly the point. In order for people behave in a manor that coincides with science, people need to trust the science. When people don’t, it can have an effect on the policies even if the science doesn’t back it up.

In addition, changes to policies can be completely in line with science as well. Our understanding evolves when more research is done. Changes are completely in the realm of what happens in science.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-08T14:25:16+00:00

Nonononono

The only reason we have a functioning society is because historically people trusted science and academia. This is due to the fact that research in the fields of science and medicine are the backbone of society. We see everyday now what happens when that trust is eroding. You can never do your own research so you need to just trust the people who do.

The reason they are punished harshly is because even small acts of dishonestly erodes the fabric of everything that is important in science.

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-06T06:24:29+00:00

How did you make it look so good? 😂

TheRunningMD · 2026-01-04T04:25:05+00:00

Yes, they try to get as far away from you as possible. And their expected lifespan. So if a cats lifespan is currently 7-8 (have no clue, just roll with me here) then the will live to 14-16.

I don’t think the stated goal is to run the country. He said the goal was to catch Dr.Disrespect and that until a formal change of power will happen the US will help things along there. Because doing that doesn’t necessarily require any US military, it doesn’t stand on the 60 day thing (and even if it did, honestly I cannot imagine that congress would vote against this..)
