  • I don’t block super quickly unless they’re obvious spam, bot, or troll with bad intentions. I am very quick to apply user tags my Lemmy client supports so that I can flag them for future reference. I use yellow to mean they’re sus, consider their intent and recent history before engaging. I use red to mean “do not engage” just sit back and watch other people fall into the trap. I use Green for interesting people to pay attention to when they post or comment, like the dude/ette we have on Lemmy who is actively working on the Roku client for Jellyfin.



  • Stop pushing yourself to where you feel like you’re dying. If you’re new to this much exercise, you’re having to build up both muscles/tendons and breath.

    Tendons and connective tissue take longer to condition than muscles. Don’t push to injury.

    Aerobic capacity grows by working out in aerobic range. If you push past that to when you’re gasping for breath, you aren’t improving your aerobic capacity as efficiently as you could.

    Nerd rabbit hole, you want Zone 2 training and you can find a bajillion YouTube videos on it. The less-nerd version is run until you start losing your breath, slow down or even walk until you catch it again, run until you lose it, rinse and repeat.

    Couch to 5k programs are fine. I think if you’re trying to do this for longer-term goals than a 5k in ten weeks, then look for zone 2 training instead of couch to 5k. Zone 2 training will be slower advancement but result in a more robust base.



  • My diocese had one of those too. He ran the Newman/student center at the university. The bishop knew about him and “applied restrictions” to him, but it wasn’t until he died that they publicly investigated him.

    It was about ten years after he died that the investigation report came out. They concluded “there was a homosexual culture” at the Newman Center to blame.

    During this investigation, no direct information was learned that Msgr. Kalin was homosexual or was a practicing homosexual; however, there was sufficient testimonial and anecdotical [sic] information learned during the investigation to confirm Msgr. Kalin did seek out and prefer the company of men. Much of this exacerbated later in his life due to ongoing medication and treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
