“Nobody has seen” just about anything about this election. I want off this fucking ride, man.
It’s called “the silent killer” for a reason. Maybe you’re just tired lately from working hard, or you’ve been having headaches from eye strain, or maybe your blood pressure is at 170/120 and you’re actually near death.
That’s the shit that scares me. I’ve worked really hard to get my blood pressure way down (currently 110/60) and intend to keep it that way.
I actually gained weight when I first got serious about the gym, and that worried me until my doctor reassured me that I was putting on muscle, not fat. These days, it’s pretty obvious in retrospect.
The real metric I pay attention to is blood pressure. As my dad’s getting older he’s been struggling with blood pressure, and I don’t want that to ever happen to me, so cardio is important.
Not if he can’t get on video. The man’s bizarre hold on his base is all about his verbal delivery. If he has to rely on written messages, he can’t verbally circumvent the higher brain function in his victims and they’re more likely to actually become aware that his messages are gibberish.
