I have something to confess about myself. I have a pernicious prejudice hidden deep within me that colors my perception of the world. I was probably born with it, I was definitely raised with it, and now, it’s so deeply embedded within me that I don’t think I’ll ever get it out. You see, I’m anthropocentric.
What's "heart attacks caused by being a “weekend warrior”" in reference to? I'm guessing something like: intense exercise done relatively rarely causes heart problems (compared to sedentary). The first article I found argues that such exercise is just as healthy as more evenly distributed exercise: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2807286
Hm... I'm not familiar enough with the research to say for sure. Anecdotally, it does seem that people seem to injure themselves more when they're weekend warriors.
I'm going to just note that "nauseous" used to mean "disgusting to the point of causing nausea". I'm ultimately a descriptivist linguist, and the alternate use to mean "nauseated" has become so common that dictionaries now list this an alternate meaning. But I find it _intensely annoying_ and wish people would say "nauseated" when that's what they mean. The incorrect / more-recent usage is nauseous.
