What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

There is something going on with all the tinned fish content on youtube, its all suspiciously the same aesthetic and they make the fish so appetizing i've begun eating them myself... i'll blame the jews if that's all you got but i'd prefer a more esoteric scapegoat for my budding schizophrenia etc.
 
Have you ever ran a marathon bro? Your feet can get sore af after running for miles and miles and miles bro.
I agree that if you're a dumdum when you buy your shoes, they can hurt you, but that's a you problem and probably not The Jews this time.
Are you for real? What does your reply have to do with anything that I wrote? Do you think bunions are just temporary inflammations caused by running too much? Also, the people that I gave photos to didn't even buy their own shoes, they were sponsored. They literally had shoes custom made for them, and they also fucked them up. I think it's because they're used as human billboards to market this as the new normal.

Your post glows, it's like you've been sent by the shoe jews to minimize the damage modern shoes are doing to us.

I already explained the reason, you just ignored it. Most of them grew up fast and poor, so they either constantly outgrew their shoes or couldn't find them in their size. Remember this is preinternet for most of them, so custom ordering size 15s wasn't within reach of most. So they fuck up their feet cramming them into either used or too small shoes.

There's one NBA star who wore some offbrand shoes instead of Nikes who was constantly getting injured from the poor construction causing ankle injuries. These were custom built shoes the company used to promote, not off the shelves.

You are just a retarded sperg.
 
Look at Usain Bolt's feet vs Abebe Bikila's (marathon runner)
I'm somewhat of an expert on the issue, and a marathon runner, so I can insert some additional autism.
- there is a large amount of diversity in foot shapes, genetic
- a lot of running shoes do force your fingers in somewhat unnatural positions.
- runners almost always have "runner's feet" with all sorts of superficial damage. In time calluses form and they will help, as in you won't really get blisters in those areas... mostly
- there are specific "barefoot shoes" with a more comfy design, but it takes time getting used to them
- sprinters train differently compared to long distance runners, and have very different body shapes too
The modern running shoe, if chosen well, is light and comfy. The cheaper stuff though, yeah. Also most performance runners have dozens of pairs, some for cement, some with spikes for track, some for offroad hike type of runs, some for long runs, some for sprinting and interval training, and each is with its own minor optimizations and design choices.

Here's a conspiracy fact that lots of therapists will acknowledge as true if you get a drink or two in them: Therapists are carefully selected from crazies. Here's how it works: unhappy, unhealthy person goes to college, takes a bunch of psych classes hoping to figure out their dysfunction. They don't, of course, but they do accumulate those psych credits. Before you know it, psych classes at higher levels attract only those people, everyone else having accumulated their credits from intro courses and working on their actual major courses instead of continuing on, and happier/normal students being subtly/unsubtly discouraged by professors/fellow students. Eventually, the students have enough credits for a psych degree, or enough at least to make continuing on an attractive prospect. So they graduate, going on to some form of clinical work overseen by people at least as crazy/unhappy as they are. Then they have to find a job, likely public health for at least a time, since large corporations have only very limited utility for shrinks. Eventually they usually form or join a practice. They're still just as fucked up, but so are their patients. Their they try to mindfuck their patients into a more normative behavioral pattern/mindset, but the child that results can be compared to a Thalidomide baby. The child also resembles the shrink parent, and guess what profession has members kill themselves at astronomical rates? It's even worse in abnormal psych, which the craziest of the crazy gravitate towards. It's probably to the best that most of them just hand out pills nowadays. When the profession finds itself interested in a topic, you end up with gender-obsessive quacks and recovered memories, to name just two evil fads. Or advertising/propaganda studies. Or MK/Ultra. Or fat acceptance/pedophilia apologetics.

Parents, don't encourage your children to navel-gaze as a habit, they won't be any better off for it. Introspection is good, obsessive introspection is bad.
 
I believe that therapy has been pushed to weaken people and control them, overprescribe drugs to make bank for big pharma, take kids away from parents for the smallest reasons, and of course push political ideologies that tend to come from the type of people who are talk therapists. I know this to be true because I have seen it with my own eyes and it follows the pattern I have seen multiple times as well.
In short, talk therapy is basically just dianetics and actively causes harm. Especially with children and teens, the ones who it’s forced on the most.
I have noticed that the music industry has been pushing "mental health awareness" heavily. Even currently active rock bands have written songs on the subject matter 🤔
 
Most "hate crimes" and youth who do mass shootings are groomed into that by the feds.
Someone posted in one of the munchie threads the other day that there’s a clinic in London that the NHS uses for those with ‘complex needs’ the discussion was about BpD and cPTSD and how the latter is often used as a placeholder diagnosis to get people involved in therapy. If you slap a Borderline diagnosis in many they will just flounce so the cPTSD diagnosis and ‘complex needs’ which sounds like something munchies would love as it’s a lot of attention. So I went and had a look at the page and…
I’ve just noticed it’s run out of the Tavistock. Hmmmmm
The shoe stuff is real, all mainstream shoes are a dumb shape although whether it’s deliberate, no idea. VERY few brands of women’s shoes allow your toes to spread out properly. Almost all my female colleagues seem to have bunions, or the deformed big toe.
Yes a heel strike is more how one walks, but not how people should run. The impact from casual walking is much lower than running, and running with a midfoot impact (and you have to lower your stride length a bit too) is far better for your joints and allows you to bounce along.

It's "deliberate" in the same way that phones getting thinner, and consequently more fragile, is "deliberate", inasmuch as it's a conscious decision by the design and marketing teams to follow a design trend that emphasises long, slender shapes and leans into form preceding function. There was a similar trend in the 50s and 60s; look at winklepickers and their immediate cousins and descendents in formal footwear, and marvel at the horror. They became painfully narrow as the trend reached its extremes of length and narrowness.
 
They obviously have fucked up feet because they are squished by the shoes, look at the bunion. Stepping over eachother toes isn't even that common but they have the same kind of fucked up feet in sports where people don't step on other's feet, let's look at running.

It's the fucking shoes man. These are the world's best athletes, if they don't have access to shoes that fit their foot and handicap them instead, we are fucked.

In 20 years when they will force us to only wear government approved leg crippling instruments, remember when I fucking told y'all so.
As nutso as your posts sound, you may be on to something. I remember as a kid they brought in 'posture correcting chairs' in high school that just a big hunk of plastic jabbed into your spine. It promoted poor posture to avoid having back ache all day, resulting in terrible posture for millions.

The government later admitted the chairs did the opposite as intended and led to back problems. Was this the cause of idiocy or plan to weaken a generation?

- there is a large amount of diversity in foot shapes, genetic
We're not born with bunions. Show me one person whose natural footshape looks like this:

- runners almost always have "runner's feet" with all sorts of superficial damage. In time calluses form and they will help, as in you won't really get blisters in those areas... mostly
If you'd get pedicures and actually tried taking care of your feet you wouldn't have troglodyte trotters.

Also, I was talking about squished toes and bunions, not calluses. Calluses are normal, having your feet look like the => sign is not.

- there are specific "barefoot shoes" with a more comfy design, but it takes time getting used to them
Have you thought about why it takes time getting used to them? It's because as consumers we're forced to buy shitty shoes with heels built into them. It's ridiculous. And when you find a good barefoot shoe company, it gets bought out and adds dumb shit like heel drops.

- sprinters train differently compared to long distance runners, and have very different body shapes too
So you're saying Usain Bolt only has fucked up feet only because he runs less than the marathon runner? By your logic, Abebe should have the fucked up feet, he fucking ran barefoot. I googled for a few minutes but I couldn't find any other marathon runner's feet, and I can't be fucked looking at more nigger feet.

The modern running shoe, if chosen well, is light and comfy. The cheaper stuff though, yeah. Also most performance runners have dozens of pairs, some for cement, some with spikes for track, some for offroad hike type of runs, some for long runs, some for sprinting and interval training, and each is with its own minor optimizations and design choices
So you're saying only the cheap stuff is like this? All of my posts are about the best athletes in the world whose companies have all the money in the world to make them good shoes. All of the main company's most expensive shoes also come with heels and look like they're serpetine stalkers not made for humans.

And then you go off a tangent about what accessories the sole has, as if it has anything to do with what I posted. I even have doubts you're into running, especially marathon running, because then you'd know who Abebe was and that he ran barefoot, and wouldn't give me the dumbass argument "Oh he has better feet because he runs more than Bolt" (???). Your post fucking glows too, what the fuck is this ChatGPT astroturfing?

If you're not an astroturfing shoe jew, do yourself a favor and use a foot cream once a full moon so your sausages stop bleeding. Also, let me know what running shoes you buy. I need to know what to buy after my altras die out.

I remember as a kid they brought in 'posture correcting chairs' in high school that just a big hunk of plastic jabbed into your spine. It promoted poor posture to avoid having back ache all day, resulting in terrible posture for millions.
No idea what you're talking about. Can you provide a picture? I always found "ergonomic chairs" to be massively uncomfortable, so I'm interested in looking into this.

This reminds me of how often I meet people with scoliosis and other spine problems, so weird.
 
If you're not an astroturfing shoe jew
I swear I am not, I have posts in the running thread. I'm a legitimate runner.
I run too much to bother with pedicures. Lost time. Last week I did 110km. My current streak, with low mileage cause I was hurt during most of January.

Also you're suspiciously angry about feet and bunions and lost toenails.
I do hope the shoes improve though. I am not sure though the barefoots are best for cement running, especially for HIIT and sprints, but what do I know.

Sure, and rapeseed oil is in absolutely everything as well just because it's what the market wants, not because (((they))) want to poison us so we're weak and always dependent on the healthcare system.

There's a difference between a trend and not being able to buy the normal version of something in the first place.
Also you're suspiciously angry about feet and bunions and lost toenails.
Well yeah I'm posting in the autistic thunderdrome, in a conspiracy thread on top of it. Why would I rant about something with a mid passion level?

I do hope the shoes improve though. I am not sure though the barefoots are best for cement running, especially for HIIT and sprints, but what do I know.
Depends on how barefoot they are. I'm using altras at the moment, which are wide foot shoes with zero drop, but they're starting to discontinue those, they're my favorite so I'll be very sad.

I have some other barefoot shoes, I only do cement running and they're okay, I hate the fact that I feel everything through the sole (like I have to be careful to not run over bottlecaps and other garbage), but I never run more than 2 hours at a time and I have strong ankles so your experience may vary, I still really recommend them though. I think if I add a memory foam sole to them they'll be perfect for what I need. Oh they're also terrible if it's icy outside, literally unusable.

Do take care pls of your feet, if something ever happens, foot surgeries are the worst and handicap you for a long time, and might not even solve your issues entirely. Your running is really admirable and I hope you continue being the great person you are.
 
Was this the cause of idiocy or plan to weaken a generation?
Idiocy.
For the shoes, I dont find barefoot shoes comfy even though I spend as much time as I can without shoes on. Love the wide toes but hate the thinness. The zero drop stuff doesn’t work for me. Neither does any heel above an inch. I suspect that living somewhere that’s often pretty cold and icy and wet isn’t what barefoot shoes are for. If I lived somewhere warmer it might be nice.
There are times you need a decent pair of boots. With a wide toe box. And they’re very hard to find, women’s shoes are a whole level of insanity.
winklepickers
And men’s too. They were insane.
 
The shoe stuff is real, all mainstream shoes are a dumb shape although whether it’s deliberate, no idea. VERY few brands of women’s shoes allow your toes to spread out properly. Almost all my female colleagues seem to have bunions, or the deformed big toe.
If I were a woman I'd probably just wear men's shoes because women's shoes are absolute shit what the fuck is even up with those.
