100%

I signed up for a cycle to work challenge to use the bike every day in Feb. Managed 2 trips.

Im 49. I cycle for 1 hour a few mornings a week and try to walk at lunchtime, but my job is sedentary. Truth is I’m pretty overweight. I try to eat well, but I eat crap as well. I drink at the weekends. My worst vice is a couple of ciggies a week. Ok, a day. I try to vape instead, which is better for me but a ridiculous habit at my age. I will stop both.

On the up side I live rurally in Scotland and have a family I love and a job I don’t hate. I’m hoping to get healthier for a holiday in October. But I have shit will power. Onwards!

A night shower is good for sleeping, I find, but it’s not something i do often. For me, a morning shower is essential.

I’ve always had weirdly unmanageable hair, so it needs to be rinsed so it won’t go full Einstein. Plus, a shower wakes me up and helps me feel ready for the grind.

I also do this 30-second cold blast at the end that I picked up on somewhere and masochistically enjoy.

Plus, I have levo meds that need to be taken about half an hour before coffee/breakfast, so the shower and getting ready give me a sufficient time window.

Just my jeans. I have no idea why.

I use crypto to pay for my IPTV sub. It’s a pain and otherwise it’s a ponzie scheme, but fuck paying for all the streaming services. They’ve had their pound of flesh.

It depends. Take Morrissey, for example. Do I have to hate the smiths because he’s developed some political views I disagree with? I’d argue no.

But then I’d also be suspicious of anyone enthusing about Hitler’s water colours…

Cocaine then a sub to check out Titanic. Pretty standard, really.

Mandatory week off with no pay. Bummer. Pretty sure that’s illegal in my country.

Yikes! I nearly married a gal with Borderline Personality Disorder. Absolutely insane. So glad my wife is normal.

It’s like the Simpsons clip, ‘brought to you by the oil companies of the US’, where they intentionally rip on EVs. The number of idiots who miss the satire is staggering.

That’s quite a refreshing perspective to be honest, thanks for sharing.

We’ve been leasing an EV for a few years and have saved quite a bit. Even better currently. The only problem I have with it is unsolicited opinions from others about how shit EVs are, like I haven’t been driving petrol or diesel for 20 fucking years .

Wild how this is normalised. Here in the UK we’re relatively placid and docile when it comes to respective governments fucking us over, which they do with depressing regularity, but I feel that if this was to suddenly happen in our hospitals there would finally be large-scale rioting in the streets. We’d go proper French.

That’s interesting to me, as I’d always assumed that if you were poor in the US you were kinda screwed. I’m in Scotland where it’s basically impossible to be homeless unless you choose it, and if you’re sick you’ll get treated by the NHS. It still sucks to be poor here.

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol. Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine.

Definitely not 100%

That’s refreshingly normal tbh.

Surely this is the only answer?!

Where are you getting that?

I mean, FFS my comment literally said “Live and let live, and absolutely respect everyone’s right to be whatever they want”. And now I don’t want other people to exist? How do you even get through a day?

Indeed you can, and that was my point. If a significant portion of posts here were on Basketball I’d make broadly the same argument. This is hardly an insanely busy place as is, so if a specific topic that I’m not interested in is frequently posted surely you can see how that impacts the experience from my perspective. I’ve neither the time nor inclination to curate a feed. Did that on Reddit when I had to, but we’re not there yet. I’m simply answering the question.

Sometimes I don’t really want to get into a conversation about trans issues. I find the topic very prevalent on here, as if I’ve strayed into a sub by accident. Live and let live, and absolutely respect everyone’s right to be whatever they want, but it’s not a topic I can contribute to - and I certainly I don’t want to upset anyone by wading into an emotive topic I have no experience, interest or knowledge on, so I’d rather just leave it.

I’m just saying that it’s up there with LINUX as a prevailing topic, which I’m similarly disinterested in.
