      Why would I fly for twenty minutes when I can drive for an hour 🙄

      I was about to be offended and then I remembered how I got out of breath walking up the stairs this morning. (To be fair, I’m anemic af and almost certainly have a touch of long covid, but still.)

        There’s just something about stairs that gets me. I can run a sub hour 10k, hike 15+ miles a day, and my resting heart rate is in the 50s, but stairs always get me winded.

          My french teacher in high school said that everyone gets winded going up stairs, cause people who are fitter walk up the steps faster

            This just solved it for me. That is exactly it. I’ve been angry at stairs my whole life and now I realize it’s because I go up them as fast as I walk- which is considerably faster than most people I know.

      Please stop bad-mouthing Americans, it’s just self loathing at this point. It cannot be that black and white.

      Yes. Burgerlanders are very averse to any level of self improvement that might be difficult. I blame the car culture propaganda more than I blame the people though.
