I’ve heard stories of people who’ve been overweight that’d never see lengthy lives because the burden of weight would be too much.
Absolute fear mongering! I see lots of people who comfortable being fat their whole lives and live a normal lifespan.
The hardest part from my experience of being slightly overweight is that it is harder to feel ready for any type of exercise, and I also got tired more quickly just from pulling the weight around when I walked to places.
You are at least the second person to mention IBS/other stomach issues and interestingly I made this post because I'm suffering the worst stomach pain of my life, which i think must have been bought on by lifting with bad form. So I guess this is a sign I really need to see the doctor about this? I will.
And best of luck with seeking employment. Hiring cafe is good for finding remote work
That's fair enough, but I guess the premise of star wars is that they've always known about the force since pre-space times (Though literature outside of the movies explains the opposite), so to me it seems more like just the fantasy premise of the series.
Honestly the only Bradbury novel I've read so far was Fahrenheit 451 (I loved it). That's probably not sci fi, because tho it is set in the future, the futuristic elements which couldn't exist today are spoke about in vague terms and it's more a story of highlighting what's wrong with our current society by extrapolating where it will go from here
One of the best documentaries I watched was Brian Cox's Solar System, so yes that's a very good example of how the purely scientific can create a pretty fantastical impression!
The space travel, for instance, is "how could space travel actually work?" And even when they have a satisfying explanation for planet to planet travel, they need one for longer distances, so they introduce those wormhole gates? I haven't read very far into it
it tries to make space colonisation as realistic as possible, including the body horror
the alien plague
And therein lies the balance. Real science for where we know (or think we know) the boundaries of science, and completely theoretical fantasy for things we don't know about (the existence of alien life and what shape it might take)
