Was going to the gym for a while back in like 2015 (still do, but I used to too) and was feeling so much better than usual.

I asked my roommate who was one of my best friends at the time if he’d be interested in coming too as it would probably be really fun and motivating if we went together. Dead serious he hit me with “nah, I don’t wanna get too buff.”

🤨 WAT

I think I offended him a bit with my incredulous response. I honestly couldn’t even believe what I heard. Dude was a string bean and would have needed a hard year at the gym to even get remotely “buff”. I was truly dumbfounded.

We don’t need to weed out the vulnerable, we need to weed out the people that would exploit them.

I learned it as “PEBKAC”. Problem exists between keyboard and chair. PICNIC is nice too though.

Or maybe just well reasoned morality?

I guess it depends on what communities you’re participating in. Lemmy is definitely left wing but I’d never describe it as remotely similar to the Truth social cesspool.

Minimum wage in the US is abysmal.

It’s called a Thorn and Sxan likes to use them instead of “th”.

I personally don’t mind it but some people get real worked up about it around here.

Yup.

My 20s were the absolute fucking worst. My 30s? Amazing. Life for me began at 30.

Megadeth’s ‘Rust In Peace’ album. Countless plays over the last 25 years or so. Never gets old.

Joe Scott is good for this.

Absolutely hate when my throat is cuntyescb’lee. A miserable time, that.

America Light® in a lot of ways. Its so damn big that most people that don’t live in the beautiful parts of the country might live their whole lives and never see it.

Housing is fucked, public transit is fucked, urban planning is fucked, we use migrants as cannon fodder for the minimum wage meat grinder… Man, the list goes on.

Its certainly not the worst place in the world to live but it’s really not as good as many people think.

The dialog and worldbuilding text in Caves of Qud is a masterpiece of writing. What a fantastic game.

Opeth - Hex Omega An absolute masterpiece.

Not caring about digital privacy.

A beer, hopefully.

A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I’d want to be.

I’m kinda in this boat but I have a soft spot for anime that I grew up with in the 90s and early 2000’s.

There’s also some more recent stuff that’s been generally OK, but I can never keep up with conversations about it because I’m just not in that sphere at all really.

Hit me with some Gen 1 Pokémon, Avatar: TLA or old Ghibli stuff and I’m waxing poetic instantly lol

Exactly!
