Date: 2021-09-27 08:00 pm (UTC)2) Somebody really really does not want to have a political party of mass appeal. Kind of misses the point of having a political party, doesn't it?
4) I really don't want to go to war against my own body.
6) Sounds like a great construction method, so long as you don't ever have to get in and repair it.
10) Seriously, I've found myself completely accepting of people's purely internal beliefs no matter how weird they are - sometimes to those people's surprise - but when they want to impose their beliefs on society, I'm against it.

Date: 2021-09-28 04:33 am (UTC)I don't understand why that article on metabolism insists that aerobic exercise doesn't help muscle tone, though. Half an hour of swimming every day for six months (plus eating a bit less) not only got rid of aoround 15 kilos of fat, it was excellent for both my cardiovascular fitness and my muscle tone. A formerly supermorbidly obese chap of my acquaintance began his weight-loss programme by deleting food-delivery apps from his phone and doing wall pushups (he got me doing them as well, they're great for whole-body toning). There was absolutely no need for high-intensity anything.
