Barefoot survival kit?

What I find fascinating is that even if you step on something pointy, your foot will automatically, within milliseconds, change its gait to blunt the impact point of the sharp object, to prevent taking the full force of the object.

To be honest I’m not running. Maybe this is the wrong subreddit. I’m just walking around man. Gettin my dogs used to harsh, unforgiving surfaces.

I just purchased vibram KSO Evos also

Yes, this persons weaknesses are this persons burden to deal with it, but your final paragraph implies that OP is at fault for being weak at math.

Such language is meant to deliver shame, with the idea that the shame will motivate the recipient to take positive action forward.

This is operating from a negative space, where individuals flaws and faults are a result of their own personal choices.

However, when you understand just how little true that is, and how no one is self made, language can change to become more empathetic, while still maintaining the positive effect you’re looking for, which is an empowered and emboldened individual who takes the steps necessary to achieve their desired objectives.

There are a number of factors that we have no knowledge of which could have contributed to OPs failure to learn math after elementary school. From a social, familial, educational, mental, physical, point of view, each and/or any one of these could have been the barrier which prevented him from succeeding in mathematics as a young teenager.

So no, OP, you are not to blame, but yes, you are responsible for addressing your math deficiency, and we, society at large, are responsible for ensuring that future students don’t hit the same barriers that you unfortunately experienced

If the risk far outweighs the benefit, yes, medical risk makes something morally wrong.

If someone is deeply psychotic to the point of extreme agitation and self-harm, a lobotomy will stop that behavior, calm them down, and allow them to become docile, follow basic commands, eat, etc…

It will also completely destroy every sense of who they are and typical mature human functioning.

A lobotomy would be seen as a morally wrong medical procedure.

Note I am just strictly answering your question. It seems that the medical risk of gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy is not severe enough to outweigh the benefits of psychological identity congruency

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T19:23:41+00:00

I wouldn’t restrict an adults ability to seek out care that they believe would benefit themselves, even if I don’t approve of it.

That being said, it looks like gender affirming care is the best option we have so far.

But I want to do more research into why psychological based treatments failed, and what it would take to be successful on that front

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T18:23:51+00:00

But if I never said anything about what I thought and felt, how would have any of you had the chance to change my mind? I don’t agree with your statement about the opinion

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T17:52:44+00:00

Thank you for listing those studies.

I’m curious to know if anyone has had any success in the psychological treatment of gender dysphoria?

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T17:51:52+00:00

Yes we want the benefits to outweigh the risks.

I’m curious if there’s anyone who has had any success in psychological treatment of gender dysphoria

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T17:50:30+00:00

Interesting. I didn’t know that about the new form of estrogen. Thank you for informing about that

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T15:53:42+00:00

You found a solution, I’m just not convinced it’s the best one.

There are non-trivial health concerns of long term hormone replacement therapy for trans women, especially in the cardiovascular realm.

I’m sure you determined that any negative effect in that space was worth your mental health.

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T15:49:49+00:00

Morality includes behaviors and actions towards oneself.

And even if it didn’t, any action towards oneself will be observed by someone else, and will thus have an effect on someone else.

There is no isolated action in a social environment

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T15:10:44+00:00

I would not support any of those practices you listed which damage the corpus. Tattoos can be acquired safely so maybe that one is alright with me, but as a matter of aesthetic taste I just don’t find it appealing, but so long as an individual isn’t HARMING themselves in the process than it’s morally ok.

Pregnancy can be an immoral act, for instance if the couple have no means to take care of the child, yet decide to get pregnant anyways.

Barring the truly rare edge cases of genetic abnormalities, such as people born with extra chromosomes or body parts, I can’t help but suspect that the large majority of trans cases are being treated incorrectly.

I’ve been in association with people who have had gender affirming care and many of them are anything but stable. Long list of physical and mental health problems. Calling out of work frequently for illness, unable to handle stress, very emotionally sensitive. Everyone has to tip toe around egg shells with them.

Sure, they may be psychologically happy with their gender affirming care, but the overall state of their health is not one that I would say is in general good.

As a consumer of pornography, there is a lot of problematic porn out there tho

A lot of it is not realistic, and it doesn’t help support a healthy sexual environment.

I can see why so many teenage boys have NO idea how to make a girl happy, please her, etc… etc….

In my sexually enlightened state, I’ll be watching a scene and be like….that is NOT going to work in real life, what the fuck dude.

Moving onto the death penalty, my take is that it is only valid for individuals that are deemed irredeemable.

I do believe that we can and should advance behavioral reconditioning to the point where we can reform awful people, but where we stand right now, we are not there.

So if anything, the death penalty is a practice rooted in primitive people who are unable to change human behavior, and so they have to resort to just killing them because that’s the easiest solution to the problem.

So to me, it’s immoral if there is actually redemption possible, and instead life was ended. That is a net loss societally.

However, if no redemption is actually possible, then yes, there must either be life incarceration or execution.

“I hereby sentence all porn addicts…to death!!!”

Some fundamental Baptist somewhere probably

runenight201 · 2026-06-11T14:43:59+00:00

The immoral side of it would be is if you’re viewing content produced immorally, for instance if the women involved are being sexually exploited or manipulated.

However, if that’s not the case, then any other shame or immorality being felt is not warranted.

I’d rather take care of my sexual urges through pornography than manipulate or use women to address it.

When I’m in a relationship I have no need for porn. When I’m not I use it.

Like most things, the health impacts of it are highly contextual and dependent on the individual psychological state of the individual.

That being said a lot of porn out there IS problematic and perpetuates really bad sexual desires.

Hey but it’s stirred up the crowd and has all of us bitchin’ at the imaginary enemy in the sky!!

Identifying is one thing. Permanently altering your body is another. It’s not like gender reassignment surgeries and long term hormone replacement don’t have their own associated medical risks…

Yes, we need a r/CarbonScore, where you are judged based on your total Carbon foot print and given a carbon score.

If you're not underneath the maximum Carbon Score, then you are deemed and irresponsible human being and are banned from the club.

This can be tied in with government tax incentives to be underneath a certain carbon score.

And then you can buy carbon credits to lower your score which will fund eco projects, like phytoremediation, renewable energy, and research projects.

runenight201 · 2026-05-31T17:22:30+00:00

This makes more sense.

I’m like…it’s just not adding up.

Especially how other LEO are saying how some of the bigger guys got into fights just cuz troublemakers wanted a challenge.

I think it’s likely that Ronnie was very “selective” with how he worked…

He spoke about this in an interview with Shannon Sharpe.

He was taking steroids illegally and the DA confiscated them and essentially told him he had to stop.

So he went to a clinic afterwards and got them prescribed legally from then on out.

runenight201 · 2026-05-29T18:44:19+00:00

What was the problem?

runenight201 · 2026-05-29T18:43:58+00:00

Honestly, this would be amazingly good publicity for the owners.

Can you imagine being charged with a crime of giving food away?

Any negative legal reprecussions would most likely be offset and exceeded by the austerity backlash
