I’ve been going to the gym since June 1st. When our state didn’t require masks I still wore mine I would just go early in the morning when it was less busy. Now there is a mask mandate and people are good at enforcing it. It’s also a behemoth suburban corporate gym with huge, open spaces and not a lot of people. Even…

It’s not Christmas until I’ve watched Muppet Christmas Carol. Preferably on Christmas Eve because the song “There’s Only One More Sleep ‘til Christmas” gives me a surge of childhood feels.

I eat two big bowls of processed sugary cereal every night before bed and I also have visible abs. Choice of food matters less than how much you consume and how much you burn (exercise).

As someone who [used to] travel for work all the time, I agree that typical American restaurants are a vegetable wasteland. Usually I have to eat a quick lunch or lunch with a customer, that is less than healthy, and by dinner I’m asking myself “Where can I get a big bowl of vegetables?” Even if I have a milkshake for…

It’s real cute at first when they figure it out, like age 2.5-4ish. After 4 can confirm it becomes a tedious grind. The only real imaginary play I will indulge anymore is building LEGOs and making up a story behind that. Anything with costumes or super-heroes, it hurts my brain just to think about doing it.

I “live edit” to some degree. We all have our own personal triggers and things that cross the line, I don’t see the need for a one size fits all solution.

I don’t know what I’m doing differently (other than just not using Twitter at all), but somehow my Facebook feed is filled with non-”news” type items. Stupid pop-culture stuff, the gardening group I’m a part of, family/friends posts...yeah I have to scroll past the ads for political candidates right now. But whatever…

I’ve taken the time to figure out the ‘convection oven’ setting on my oven, and I think you’re right that you can re-create the air fryer (as Claire called it, it truly is a mini-convection oven) without having to purchase another applicance. You just have to be careful to watch them as things burn very quickly.

Reveling in the schadenfreude is fine, he deserves that. Wishing actual, sincere death upon him just proves that you aren’t actually more compassionate, caring, or inclusive than he is, you just both have different in groups and out groups. You are different in degree, not in kind.

On sets of 10 rep squats or deadlifts I count 4, 2, 2, 1, 1. By the time I’ve already done 6 reps it’s just 2, 1, 1 then done! It feels so easy!

Wow thanks! Going to try 1, 5, 8, and 9. Maybe 6, haha.

Anyone care to dictate what is happening in those videos above? My desktop computer won’t let me watch the TikTok videos and I don’t have the app on my phone :-(

Social media is definitely skewing perspectives because people will post photoshoot photos or stage photos year-round. So if you’re not paying attention you won’t realize that’s how they looked for one weekend out of the entire year, and they’re just milking those same photos for a year’s worth of content.

if I’m really close to someone and I see they’re not living their values or are accidentally teaching a value I know they wouldn’t agree with

I think we’ve hit a weird equilibrium that our brains can’t rationally process, where people are constantly blasting their stories, opinions, and thoughts across all of humanity via the internet, but at the same time nobody had better dare correct you or say anything contrary to what you have asserted or else that is…

This is why I don’t care for a certain expensive doughnut spot that everyone who visits seems to adore

Sure, from that angle it’s good, that some poor girl didn’t get dragged into this weird situation. But I was invested in the “fantasy girl” as a real character, so finding out that she wasn’t a real flesh and blood person who experienced the dinner at his parent’s house, the weird interaction at the ice cream shop,…

Sorry. My comment was out of line. I don’t have any exposure to that issue because it doesn’t affect me. Sorry again.

Well I would have left it blank then.
