i've wasted more time from the jump researching and coming up with angles for me to start at instead of just exercising. i think this delayed me but at least i wasn't fucking around with weights and injuring myself at those times.

also recess was bullshit. it and gym classes should be before lunch for every student. also i didn't learn shit from any staple health class.

It's not and you're not autistic, it's just a meme on fit.

They were made for athletic stuff. Also, whatever even constitutes "basketball shorts" vs. other kinds of athletic shorts is nebulous.
