You guys, the funniest fucking thing just happened. A group of creators made a crypto currency based off of squid games. The catch was you could buy it, but you COULD NOT sell it. Multiple sources warned it was a scam, citing multiple spelling errors on a hastily put up website that has now vanished. Despite this, $2,000,000 of the currency was bought by crypto traders before the creators pulled the plug and ran with the earnings. Now a whole bunch of crypto bros are crying out about the “fake” currency and lack of regulation which is the selling point of crypto. Paired with the critique of capitalism that is Squid Games it literally couldn’t get more poetic 😂
exercise is important and good for you but the way its discussed is so inextricably wrapped in like weight loss and it being a moral failing to be unathletic or whatever and that really sucks
like im someone who does more strenuous exercise (tho literally just like. walking a half hour every day is perfectly ideal) but i dont care if it affects my weight or not bc regardless i know im doing something healthy for my lifestyle. when i lose weight as a byproduct, fine, its not my goal. if i dont, fine, it doesnt matter to me bc my body is doing what it needs to do. i think thats a pretty healthy frame of mind for it. like it needs to be reframed as what it is- something good for your physical and mental health , not as a means to an end of getting skinny or as a punishment
also the way Exercise as a concept exists now is definitely like a result of capitalism lol like it being sort of a commodity instead of just an intrinsic part of life. the way it feels unnatural to many ppl now and has to be forced is bc our lives are structured in such a way as to make it unnatural- ie cities hostile to pedestrians/bikers, physically/mentally exhausting long shifts that make it unnappealing to find time in the day for healthier physical exertion, etc. plus exercise as a concept becoming an industry- its not smth you just do, its something youre expected to buy the ability to do. etc
Pun I thought you mean blasphemous in the biblical sense and nearly flipped my goddamn lid trying to decipher what about gnome hats was an affront against god
