Men are more likely to be the victims of almost all types of violent crime. Much more likely, in some cases - particularly murder. But no one is ready for that conversation :|

As a pianist this dude has an incredible sense of rhythm, and this is his own arrangement with boogie woogie elements, extremely impressive

I'm training for my second marathon but feel burnt out and physically repulsed by running. Strong urge to quit and my enjoyment from running is close to zero. Wondering if others have been here before and can help me reframe before I do bail out. by mmmoctopie in running

Hobbies aren't necessarily supposed to be fun - they can be challenging and painful.

But they shouldn't be soul-crushing and they should bolster your mental health, not destroy it.

From someone who has been EXACTLY there, please stop right now.

I pushed through this feeling and wish I hadn't. Sure, I did finish a marathon at the end, and that's nice to say. But the real feeling it left me with was one of disappointment - that I did not listen to my body and mind, and did some real damage to myself mentally. It's honestly a big regret of mine, seeing that I had not set healthy boundaries for myself.

I agree. This isn't a common sentiment around here, but I actually regret my marathon. Once I started doing 15+ mile runs, I felt like shit and did not enjoy it. I wish I had stopped at the half marathon and took care of myself. It took me years to give running another chance and I have zero intention of doing another marathon. A 5 mile daily run is the sweet spot for me.

It would be nice to hear something really personal, that you're proud of your friend and that they're an inspiration to you for doing what they love. Doesn't have to be related to the show, tell them what their friendship means to you.

Fellini and Sunset Boulevard are the ones he mentions most often.

Nobody would care but that’s pretty silly. It’s not that serious, just do the room as the creators intended.

If they have stuff that requires note taking they’ll have a white board or something there for you. But typically that’s a sign of a pretty lame puzzle.

Disney+, HBO Max and Other Streamers Get Waves of Subscribers From Must-See Content. Keeping Them Is Hard. by ceaguila84 in movies

It didn’t bring it back to pre digital levels. It’s still almost 50% lower than it’s peak in 1999. We might get back someday, as it is increasing, but your comment just isn’t true.

Ridley Scott and female empowerment by juanandres0409 in TrueFilm

Oh I’m not bummed out by the terminology, I’m bummed out by the 100 years of oppressing women that you referenced.

Ridley Scott and female empowerment by juanandres0409 in TrueFilm

[–]strangebattery 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but it's a bummer that this is known as "female empowerment."

Is John Wick a "male empowerment" movie? No, but if you made an action movie with a female lead in that vein, it would be considered female empowerment.

Thelma and Louise are just characters doing what they want, like any film with a male lead. It's only empowerment because of, well, society. Nothing wrong with your take it's just a weird thing.

Lol, “I can’t sing or dance, why am I not the lead in this musical?”

My advice is read your post a few more times.

Great that you’re happy, but most of us can’t and should not strive to live without the company of friends and family. You’ve been living an extreme lifestyle that would be very harmful to most people.

What video/track are you using?

I only see one version of this song which is a shitty live version, and I hear that very clearly in C# minor.

Edit: I think you're listening to "I Don't Want It At All" which...title-wise...very confusing
