Nah then you get to the fork in the road meme where its either depression or "working out"
Most of my gym buddies are either people who were fit their entire lives and this is just their happy place or people who are there because they need to have an addiction and this one doesnt kill them slowly.
Ok, Ive just started doing this with my daughter. Im using windows because I know it.
Find a few of their "favorite" websites with games. Sesame Street, Paw patrol, whatever their poison. And put them in the hotlist.
"You want to play some games?"
Then they have to chose their profile, put in their "password" open the browser, and pick from their hotlist and work on basic mouse skills. Also get a TINY wireless mouse, it will make their life a lot easier.
My daughter and I also played through Grim Fandango, Curse of monkey island and just started on the Sam and Max games. All point and click puzzle games. Those are a bit hit and miss on the attention span but I read the walkthroughs before I suggest we play so I can guide the process along.
I second the general recommendations of Vans or converse but IMO if you're also going to be on your feet all day wearing them the thin soles does get old fast. I wear my crossfit shoes most of the time and they are really good driving shoes because they tend more towards flat soles and unobtusive tread but still pretty good cushioning.
I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations... but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.
Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. "Sorry Boston but... you really ate shit this year..."
The secret is to give up on having time for yourself and find the zen in the things you have to do anyway.
You ever wonder why dads tend to become all about their yard, their bbq and DIY? Because if I have to mow the fucking lawn, feed my family and fix shit all the fucking time I might as well find the satisfaction in a job well done.
A 600lb person walking a mile burns significantly more calories than a 200lb person doing the same thing. Im 200lbs and I can back squat 300lbs, a 600lb person squatting down and standing back up is moving more weight than I am... If they can manage it.
Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.
Damn right, I'm only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.
The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data...
The "fall" is comparable not the magnitude of what they did, mostly because Cosbys shit mostly came out 20 years after he stopped being culturally relevant.
Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.
I live in Australia and I theoretically love guns. I love them from an engineering and design point of view. Going shooting inanimate objects and making a skill based sport out of it looks like enormous fun. But my country has very strict gun control laws so owning one isnt worth the headaches.
But then I'm at the 24hr supermarket near the sketchy neighbourhood and the junkie is screaming at the cashier about something and I am so fucking happy that the likelihood of that guy having a gun is next to zero that I think "Yep, I'll take that trade"
Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into... his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses... I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.
The $500,000 house will be $250,000 but the 6% interest rate will be 24% and the 10% deposit will be 25%.
