I quit smoking by running a half marathon about a decade ago. Ignore fitness influencers — cardio is more accessible than weight lifting. It can be as easy as taking a brisk walk.
not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth
Fitness gurus are always knocking cardio. Well, the elliptical is super effectively for weight loss. It’s low impact so you can do it for long time periods, every day. I can burn 800-1000 calories in an hour. I can do it daily. I lost 100 lbs once doing nothing but that damned boring elliptical.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

This is a helpful breakdown in chronological order of the events seen in ep 4! The biggest point of confusion I have seen is that the Floaty Death Star imploding is *not* the breaking, that comes after they fix the tear in reality & LTT and the bros go bonkerballs.
