“Nah, I’m too busy downloading cum.”

Reminds me of the pictures of the /baltimore meetup that did nothing to refute stereotypes of redditors
Like Abe Lincoln always said, take anything you see written online with a grain of salt and, until you see conclusive evidence otherwise, assume it’s a creative writing exercise.
I get to bed anywhere from 1030 to 11.
And yeah I’m not going hardcore like I’m training for the Olympics or the NFL. I’m just a middle aged dude who doesn’t want to be as fat as I have been recently.
I do it because it’s the least worst option available to me. If I hit the gym at lunchtime it’s usually fairly packed and I have a hard time getting the machines I like. But if I go in when the gym opens before work, then I can get in, get my sweat on, then shower+change+etc before work.
I wake up at 6, am dressed and out the door by 630, rolling into the gym parking lot at 655, and waiting by the door when they unlock it at 7.
I don’t enjoy it for intrinsic reasons. I’ve always been a night owl. But I do like the effects of it - in the last year since I started going before work, I have needed a sleep aid fewer than five times.
Late fall - gets cool enough at night that I sleep really well, without being so cold throughout the day that my toes get cold.
Depends on my mood. If I’m feeling good I’m usually pretty nice, but if I’m hangry then I get not-nice.
What the fuck are you talking about? The Chinaman is not the issue here, Dude! I’m talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you do not. Also, Dude, “Chinaman” is not the preferred nomenclature. “Asian-American” please.
Taylor Swift. She’s cute I guess but her music is the audio equivalent of a lukewarm stale glass of milk.
Country Cathy?
I never had a Fark account but I remember following them religiously. I remember something about them crowdfunding an arena name for a day about an unsolicited finger in the ass.
Apparently he likes them young. Younger than Leo Dicaprio does but older than what Jared from Subway prefers.
Same. Keeping the details purposefully vague even though the statute of limitations has long since expired.
I was out with friends having fun and actually stayed at the bar until they turned on the lights at closing and kicked us all out. I knew I was drunk but figured I should hit up the Taco Bell on the other side of the parking lot and eat in my car. Surely that would soak up enough alcohol to sober me up, right? I recall taking the most direct route possible to get back home, keeping my speed just below the limit. No cruise control so I had to focus as much as possible when it’s late, you’re tired and drunk and have a stomach full of grease.
The middle portion of the drive home was on a single long major arterial surface street. Luckily there weren’t any red lights since I doubt I could’ve stopped in time. The most terrifying moment was when I saw a cop car approaching me from behind. As I had a mild panic attack, he passed me up, didn’t turn on his lights, and went about his evening.
The rest of the trip home was uneventful. I got home safely, swore to myself I’d never be that stupid again, went to bed, and woke up the next morning probably still reeking of cigarette smoke and booze.
This is the single thing I am most ashamed of that I’ve ever done in my entire life. It’s more shameful than the time I lost my cool and shouted the n word at a kid when we were in middle school. It’s more shameful than the time I walked around high school with an unknown to me giant rip in my pants that let everyone see my sponge bob undies. It’s more shameful than when my dad caught me beating my meat to a Runner’s World magazine because I couldn’t find a Playboy.
I am very lucky that the cop just passed me by. I am very lucky that I didn’t have to drunk call my family at 4am to come bail me out of jail. I am very very lucky that I didn’t hurt myself or someone else.
True to my word, I’ve never done it again. I don’t drink at all any more, and even when I still did, I had a very strict two drink limit for myself if I was driving.
I don’t think I’ve ever even mentioned this when I’ve been in therapy. I’ve been in a relationship for over a decade and I’ve never even told my partner about it.
So yeah Lemmy. Learn from my mistake. Please. If you plan to get fucked up, have a safe ride home that doesn’t involve you driving.
While on a school trip, I ate a lot at a greasy buffet, then we went to a theme park. After one ride I managed not to barf but I wound up spending the remaining time in the park laying down on a bench trying to control my nausea.
For workplace specific advice Alison at AskAManager.org usually has a pretty good & entertaining thing going.
And yeah BoRU is one of the communities I miss the most from having quit reddit cold turkey.
“Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it”
I disabled my account four years ago when I realized how much plague stupidity and election stupidity on there was harming my mental health.
I doubt I will ever formally delete my account, as it’s the only source for pictures of some now-deceased family members. If hell freezes over and there’s a legit unavoidable need for me to be on there, I’m using desktop+web browser only, and probably in a browser that only gets used for the monthly visit to FB.
Any idea what the other major destinations were beyond Lemmy?
More ergonomic, more survivable, and more reliable too.
Depending on the day, my favorite movie is either The Big Lebowski, Hot Fuzz, or Knives Out.
