  • Ive been considering trying to save up for an ebike to use for the purposes of getting into shape. I’m too damn fat anymore to pedal myself up a hill (and it’s nothing but hills here), but if I could get a bike to take to some of the bike paths in a nearby city, maybe I could slowly work up to it and use the motor when I just can’t. That, or a stationary bike until I can make it to the point of being able to do it outside. Lol.

    Iunno, I just know I loved riding back in the day, and I’d like to not keel over


  • I genuinely wish I could ride a bike where I live :( I’m not in good enough shape to ride for 10 miles, but even if I were, there are no safe ways to ride a bike around here. There’s no shoulders, blind hills and curves, no sidewalks, not shit. The road I live off of is the main way other than the interstate that connects two towns, and at least once or twice a month some homeless person walking or riding their bike on that road gets hit by a car. A guy died a few months ago. If I lived somewhere where I could ride a bike, I absolutely would. Healthier for me personally, better for the environment. I used to love riding my bike when I lived in a bikable city, but shitty semi rural Appalachia gives no shits about pedestrian or cyclist safety



  • Oh, that’s simple. The root canal they’ll handle by going to the ER, getting antibiotics, and not getting the tooth taken care of until it has to be extracted completely (or just breaks off at the gum line, and taking antibiotics way too often for it)

    The broken leg they’ll get done at the er, too.

    In both cases it’ll lead to debt they likely will ignore, because what the fuck else can they do?

    But the lump? That one they’ll just ignore. It isn’t actively painful, and there’s nothing they can do for it, anyway. So they’ll just die young.

    Money isn’t the root of all evil… But is damn sure the tool of evil.






  • Nah, disagree. While the skin isn’t exactly my favorite part, the amount of work it takes to peel a kiwi is not worth the minor inconvenience of just eating the skin. It’s not particularly hard to skin a kiwi, either, but it’s just not worth it when the skin is edible, good for you, and quite tasty. It’s just the texture that sucks. It’s like someone shaved their balls 8 days ago and you’re getting teabagged.










  • As a non sports ball enjoyer I’m curious, why is this is not a bad thing? Like, I have no dog in this fight. I don’t dislike football or any other sport, I’ve just never found any joy in watching sports on TV. Occasionally it’s fun to go to a game, and it’s very fun to participate in one (never played football, but have played baseball, softball, kickball, and played soccer twice), but watching it on TV has never been fun for me. So, as someone (I assume) who enjoys watching a game on TV, why/why not is a chart like above not demonstrating a negative? I’ve never really been able to pinpoint why I don’t enjoy watching sports, and when I saw the chart my first thought was “oh, is that why I don’t like watching football?”

    Work: monday, Wednesday, Friday

    Off: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, sunday

    Three day work week, with no two work days touching. I had that working 12s for a couple years. It was amazing. If I ever needed a Monday or something off I could trade with someone, and could take a 3 day weekend. It was fucking lovely.
