The new iOS treats it pretty cool. You can see what someoneās saying as they say it, and choose to answer.
Making statements about generations (Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z, etc.) is basically horoscopes for people that think they are too smart for horoscopes.

Oh yeah, totally. 
I actually do like cardio. Biking probably being at the top of the list.
Had a lot of really good times during lockdown with my kiddo going out on the trails & stuff.
Itās been a long time but I used to enjoy mountain biking.
I like cardio too. I always feel at my best when cardio is on point. Iāve been doing powerlifting style training for the last year or so but miss general athleticism. Football style training is more my speed. Maybe just with the conditioning toned down a little from actually being competitive, lol.

I like doing cardio too
My hot take for the day: going all out is overrated

All yaāll are lucky my foot is fucked so I have to post responses instead of being a responsible person.
Ever had that asshole who would freeze their paintballs? I had one time in college where they did. Some RA decided to split us up and have a capture the flag scenario, so I just sprinted up and grabbed the flag.
Cool, Iām a hero. Might have still been drunk from the night before, so itās nice when a bad decision works out. Decide they wonāt expect it a second time. It works again.
I feel the rage radiating through the pine trees. Theyāre going to charge. Override the RAs because I have some authority after getting the flag twice. Did all sorts of shit like suppresive fire, pincer movements, throwing pine cones, coming up with a mask asking if they needed ammo, then everyone turns up and its assanation time. We even had two guys with mud faces and hands and branches taped to them (having a full backpacking/camping kit in your jeep is super useful,) misdirecting fire. This is war.
Someone learned from my example, crept behind us.
Dude attacks us with frozen paintballs, so we all start throwing any forest debris at him, closing in, and stick the gun in his car wheel, then make him drive away for being a dick. He made it about one tire rotation.
Won 29 rounds in a row. Had a dorm-wide meeting about playing fair afterwards. Somehow Iām in trouble.
On the flipside my tranny mtf sister once murdered the shit out of me about 5 seconds in while wearing a white dress, so yeah paintball is still dumb.

I actually think swimming is the best cardio. Rowing being a close second. Or bodyweight stuff.
We used to do superman drills where you would do 10 situps, jump in your swim lane, do 25 yards, jump out, do 10 pushups (which the guys had already done in the locker room to impress the women,) and repeat for about 15 rounds.
Iāve been dealing with a bruised tailbone. Donāt bring up rowing 
I do have a bald spot from a roman candle war.
And once burned down an acre with a road flare.
But I also became a chef. And cooked for firefighters in California during the middle of the night when the wildfires were happening.
My wife fell in love with me when we were in the woods and I started a fire in the rain with a rock, a coffee tin, and birch bark.
Fire made us human.
Riding a real bike vs. a stationary one is a VAST difference.

Sure itās risky, but riding a bicycle was the only way I could reliably get to the store to buy cigarettes before I turned 16.
Hot take: The same type of social, cultural and economic forces that convinced me to adopt that lifestyle in Jr. High are still targeting young people, only the new lifestyle thatās being pushed on kids is far more destructive.
Your lung function can return if you stop smoking soon enough. You donāt get a second chance at a healthy, normal puberty and childhood.

I agree that driving is more dangerous, but as someone with poor coordination, walking is safer for me
Iāve had many close calls with cars as a pedestrian and would have been fucked if I were on a bike. I have more freedom to dodge and change speed walking than being on a bike.
Falling off a bike also hurts less than falling from standing

Hot take: Observational data should not be used to recommend interventions. And this is a really bad example of doing just that.
I am not sure what you mean here. He is using NHTSA statistics to make a case that the bicycle is pretty safe (safer than most in the US seem to assume).
Forgive me if I am off base? It is unclear to me what you mean by this:
Are you saying you agree with the article, because it is not a good example of using observational data to recommend an action?
They have breaks and do what ever you tell them to.

Horses are stupid. They may be smart for an animal, but they are still dumb.
