A word on Constant Effect Enchantments

We've had occasion before now to reflect how constant Illusion enchantments are detrimental to one's mental health. @theseventhoffrostfall has aptly dubbed it "the dunmer version of lead-based makeup" which also underscores how it became a kind of fashion statement, to cloak oneself in, say, cumulative Chameleon enchantments, in civil setting. The harmful effects of illusion magic ranges from insidious to truly devastating: as is the case with Sanctuary spell, shown to be the main driver of disassociative disorders—conditions that involve experiencing a loss of connection between thoughts, memories, feelings, surroundings, behavior and identity. Under these circumstances, one can imagine how even the lowliest Light spell—if made into a constant effect—would be further exasperating these symptoms.

Here I refer you to my monograph: "On pathology of indirect Light spells", Black Horse Courier Press, Imperial city.

While Reflect and Detect spells (of Mysticism school) may work towards eroding one's circumspection—the ethereality, the ghostliness of Sanctuary is an assault on faculties most fundamental.

So once again I ask you to call upon your local Council-members to vote on banning this magical mal-practice!

Maybe I'm just too online, but I genuinely hate that being "uncool" and "awkward" has become this thing that everyone wants to relate to and is just now trendy. Fuck that. Where are my girlies that sat by themselves at the lunch table in school?

Yoga vs. Gym: Unraveling the Science Behind Which is Better for Your Health

‍Image Source: FreeImages

‍ Are you torn between hitting the gym or joining a yoga class for your fitness needs? You're not alone. The debate between yoga and gym workouts has struck a chord with health enthusiasts around the world. But which one is truly better for your health? In this article, we delve into the science behind these two popular forms of exercise to help you make an informed decision.

The benefits of yoga

Yoga, rooted in ancient practices, offers a holistic approach to fitness, combining physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. The benefits of yoga extend beyond just physical well-being. Research has shown that regular yoga practice can improve flexibility, increase joint range of motion, and enhance overall body strength. The various poses in yoga help to stretch and lengthen muscles, leading to improved flexibility over time. Moreover, the focus on deep breathing during yoga can enhance lung capacity and oxygen intake, improving cardiovascular health.

But the benefits of yoga go beyond the physical. Numerous studies have highlighted the positive effects of yoga on mental health. The combination of physical movement and mindfulness in yoga helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The practice of mindfulness during yoga promotes a sense of calm and relaxation, allowing individuals to better manage their emotions and improve their overall well-being. Furthermore, the meditative aspects of yoga can enhance self-awareness and promote a more positive outlook on life.

The benefits of going to the gym

Gym workouts, on the other hand, focus on strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and high-intensity workouts. The benefits of hitting the gym are well-documented and can have a significant impact on your overall health. One of the main advantages of gym workouts is the ability to build and maintain muscular strength. Resistance training exercises, such as lifting weights or using resistance machines, help to increase muscle mass, improve bone density, and enhance overall strength.

In addition to strength training, gym workouts also offer cardiovascular benefits. Engaging in activities like running on a treadmill, cycling, or using an elliptical machine can improve heart health, increase stamina, and burn calories. Regular cardiovascular exercise has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. Moreover, the high-intensity workouts often found in gym settings can help individuals achieve weight loss goals and improve body composition.

The science behind yoga and its impact on health

The practice of yoga has been studied extensively, and the science behind its benefits is well-established. Yoga has been shown to have a positive impact on various aspects of physical health. Research has found that regular yoga practice can lead to improvements in flexibility and joint range of motion. This is due to the stretching and lengthening of muscles that occurs during yoga poses. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that just 12 weeks of yoga practice significantly improved flexibility in the participants.

Moreover, yoga has been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. The deep breathing techniques used in yoga help to increase lung capacity and oxygen intake, improving overall respiratory function. This can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate and blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that regular yoga practice was associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes.

The science behind gym workouts and their impact on health

Gym workouts, on the other hand, have a different physiological impact on the body. Strength training exercises, such as lifting weights, have been shown to increase muscle mass and strength. This is due to the stress placed on the muscles during resistance training, which leads to the activation and growth of muscle fibers. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that resistance training resulted in significant increases in muscle size and strength in both men and women.

In addition to muscular strength, gym workouts also have a positive impact on bone health. Weight-bearing exercises, such as squats and lunges, help to increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. According to a study published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, regular weight-bearing exercise was associated with higher bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Comparing the physical benefits of yoga and gym workouts

When it comes to the physical benefits, both yoga and gym workouts offer unique advantages. Yoga is known for its ability to improve flexibility and joint range of motion. The various poses and stretches in yoga help to lengthen and stretch muscles, leading to improved flexibility over time. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have tight muscles or suffer from conditions such as back pain or arthritis.

On the other hand, gym workouts focus on building muscular strength and endurance. The resistance training exercises performed in the gym help to increase muscle mass, improve bone density, and enhance overall strength. This can be advantageous for individuals who want to build muscle, improve athletic performance, or prevent age-related muscle loss.

Mental health benefits of yoga and gym workouts

While both yoga and gym workouts have physical benefits, they also have a significant impact on mental health. Yoga, with its emphasis on mindfulness and meditation, has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The combination of physical movement and deep breathing in yoga promotes relaxation and helps individuals manage their emotions better. Moreover, the meditative aspects of yoga enhance self-awareness and promote a more positive outlook on life.

Gym workouts, on the other hand, can improve mental health by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood-boosting chemicals in the brain. Engaging in high-intensity workouts in the gym can lead to a sense of accomplishment and improved self-esteem. The social aspect of going to the gym, such as connecting with others and being part of a community, can also have positive effects on mental well-being.

Finding the right balance: Incorporating both yoga and gym workouts

Instead of viewing yoga and gym workouts as mutually exclusive, it's possible to incorporate elements of both into your fitness routine. Many fitness enthusiasts find that a combination of yoga and gym workouts offers a well-rounded approach to physical and mental well-being.

For example, you can start your workout with a yoga session to warm up your body, improve flexibility, and promote mindfulness. This can be followed by a gym workout that focuses on strength training and cardiovascular exercises. By combining the benefits of both yoga and gym workouts, you can maximize the positive impact on your overall health.

Yoga and gym for specific health goals

Depending on your specific health goals, you may find that yoga or gym workouts are more aligned with your needs. If you're looking to improve flexibility, manage stress, and promote mindfulness, yoga may be the ideal choice for you. On the other hand, if your goals include building muscle, improving cardiovascular fitness, or achieving weight loss, gym workouts may be more beneficial.

It's important to listen to your body and choose the form of exercise that feels right for you. Experiment with different types of yoga classes or gym workouts to find what resonates with you the most. Remember that everyone's fitness journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another.

Conclusion: Choosing what works best for you

In the debate between yoga and gym workouts, there is no definitive answer as to which is better for your health. Both options offer unique benefits that can positively impact your physical and mental well-being. The key is to find the right balance and incorporate elements of both into your fitness routine.

If you're looking for increased flexibility, stress reduction, and improved mindfulness, yoga can be a valuable addition to your routine. On the other hand, if building muscle, improving cardiovascular fitness, or achieving weight loss are your goals, gym workouts can provide the necessary tools and equipment.

Ultimately, the choice between yoga and gym workouts comes down to personal preference and individual goals. The most important thing is to find an exercise regimen that you enjoy and can stick to in the long run. Whether you choose yoga, gym workouts, or a combination of both, the journey to better health starts with taking that first step. So lace up your sneakers or roll out your yoga mat, and embark on a path to a healthier, happier you.

if i have to hear "AY YO!" from any of these kids one more time i'm going to lose it entirely

[sugaroto]

Thank you Prometheus kids book, Odysseus comic book and "Είσαι μια λέρα" greek meme video for helping me pass all those ancient greek questions and tests

have i ever told y’all about the greatest moment of my academic career

i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t. 

so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley. 

we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.

now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was. 

so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything. 

my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”

i repeated: czolgosz.

my teacher: “who said that?”

i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.

i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that there’s a musical called assassins and there’s a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)

i had so many things to do today, but i only wound up doing two. the two simplest things on the list, in fact. putting tabs on my sheet music and writing dates in my planner. no actual homework. (or more accurately, late work.) now a week of three classes' worth of work all has to be done tomorrow, and i already made plans with my friend for that afternoon. it's 1:32 in the morning. what am i doing anymore.
