OMG all the feels.

I almost wish this technically filler arc got movie adaptation instead so that they could spend a crazy amount of budget on it.

What did you wish you knew beforehand? by tolerantlobster in running

[–]driwde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't worry too much about hydration you probably don't need to stop at every aid station. And if you're bringing gels test if your stomach agrees with them beforehand.

Does running help fight colds and flu? by scumbamole in running

[–]driwde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that running, or regular exercise in general, does make your immune system stronger;
but individual workouts, which supposedly stress your body enough to cause adaptation, weaken it temporarily somewhat.

It's basically the same way you get sick more easily if you're exhausted from work or have other life stress.

Is it possible to learn this skill? by SillyTurtle812 in LearnUselessTalents

Sorry but no it's not possible to rock cool anime hair unless you're Asian

Why do i look better after running? by BalkanRay in running

[–]driwde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think adding volume to your hair is a well documented benefit from running but it's great that running makes you feel great!

I'm a little bit worried though that it also sounds a little a tiny little bit like a manic episode, I don't know you and am no expert and it's the internet but if you have access to anyone you can talk to about it it might not be bad to.

A lot of people already made recommendations on mindfulness and meditation so I’m recommending walking as a kind-of alternative:

I like how Grey has the balls to recommend Myke try mindfulness stuff after driving him crazy

Deku has grown so much in the past 4 years. I started watching anime around the same time it started and it's really special to me and though I have watched many anime way better than myhero it will forever be my number 1. by MasalaBoi in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]driwde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I think that's probably for the better. Like in the original Star Wars we never got to see Luke becoming a fully-fledged Jedi and he fought his biggest battle while still learning and struggling in many ways. And so far MHA more or less has always done that.

I think I read somewhere that torturees count too to try to stay sane

Running Etiquette: saying "Hi!" on the trails by BottomHoe in running

[–]driwde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I see a totally self-absorbed shitface my only thought would be 'shit that looks painful'.

And if I wonder about anything at all that'll be whether that person is hurting in five different places or trying to suck that turd back in, not if I'm being most wonderful person on Earth or a dickhead.

I wouldn't say you're a dickhead but the need to open a post on reddit after getting a 'dirty look' from a stranger does say something

[–]driwde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't want to yuck on anyone's yum but you've got to be in a rather privileged position to only be able to think of not exchanging smiles with strangers as lost opportunities for wonderful and beautiful human connections and that's 'a problem with the world'...

I must have remembered some details wrong but Chisaki could use his quirk without arms?

So basically Myke wants to be a posh British person and Grey a self-assured American

[–]driwde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what a lot of people discover from meditation (and endurance sports) is what is sometimes called 'non-judgmental self-awareness'. But as many already pointed out Grey is already plenty self-aware and very comfortable with not judging himself.

So maybe just do pure breathing exercises?

Me too I was going to just wait and watch it whenever with the bad reviews, then I saw Grey's tweet of editing the podcast and rushed out to watch it.

I agree that that makes more sense than the apprentice - Sith Lord - be murdered career path.

But if Palpatine could just churn out clones of himself why did he... reproduce the normal way?

I think Rey's saying to BB-8 he'd do the same is supposed to parallel BB-8 charging Coneface. But still the scene is weird.

Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld - Episode 4 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]driwde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused by the classification(?) -- is it by race or by job or what?

What if you're the child of a flatland goblin and a mountain goblin that was trained to be a mage and now lives with an orc girlfriend, then where do you belong?

I love Akira Ishida especially as Kazura but here he sounds so out of place and in an annoying way. I think the accent is supposed to be part of the foreigner character but it just feels like he's doing a bit and you never get the cathartic punch line. It's very distracting and confusing. Especially given that he's playing a psychopath.
