  • The mainstream shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune I don’t mind, they’re generally pretty lighthearted. I figure if someone gets a score up to tens of thousands of dollars but ends up leaving with $1,000 or similar, they’re still leaving with more than they came with, there was no real risk for them, just as there was no guarantee. The further games go from skill and knowledge, the less interesting I find them.

    When it comes to folks like MrBeast, he just seems icky to me. I’m glad he does philanthropy, but his challenges just seem like a rich person convincing poorer people to do uncomfortable things for his amusement, all under the thin veneer of YouTube entertainment


  • Like others have said - couch to 5K or similar, definitely follow a plan. Following a plan can help prevent injury from overuse or burnout if you’re not making progress. I would also suggest active stretches as you get ready to run. Swinging your legs, high stepping, butt kickers, side lunges, walking lunges, etc. The idea is not to increase flexibility with these, but rather to warm up- and don’t do anything that hurts! There’s no need to go nuts. Just to get muscles moving a bit before running
