Not the case.

Use to do a lot of sport had knee surgery at 21. As mentioned probably didn’t eat enough, done a lot of on, off stop start stuff. Travelled the world. Switched activities. Was never overweight.

While I could have done more to improve my knees some people are just born with better knees than others and I’ve come to accept that. I don’t have issues with my back or shoulders or neck or hands. I know people my age that do. It’s just how it goes.

Fucking hell this is true.

So is the two day hangovers, you just don’t get better. You wake up with a hangover where you think if I eat and nap it will be gone. 10pm rolls around and you feel exactly the same as you did at 10am. Then you feel tired and run down on the second day. People tell me it gets even worse and I believe them now. Can’t drink hazy IPA without living to regret it, but I do that all the time.

I have never been overweight and largely been in shape but on and off. Now I feel it so bad getting back into it. It isn’t about pushing yourself as hard as you can without pulling a muscle. It is about carefully listening to your body and when your joints start feeling weird it’s time to stop.

Don’t fuck about with your knees people. Wish I didn’t jump off shit as a kid, also wish I ate more for recovery.

Where the fuck is my stem cell injections we were promised 10 years ago!

They didn’t fight I just said.

Or we can give them lots of money for being old.

They didn’t fight in two world wars to not be given free money.

They always are and they know it.

Doesn’t matter at that level it’s all part of the game.

I’m not American so I don’t really know what’s going on. It seems that people, especially on this website, can’t see anything Trump says or does as a positive because he isn’t on their team. But he certainly has said and done things that are right or a positive at least for some people. Can’t just disagree with someone for the sole reason you don’t like him.

But economics is complicated. For example trade barriers make things more expensive and could increase jobs or decrease them. Or more accurately increase in some areas and decrease in others. No one knows what’s going to happen for sure, even looking back people disagree on what has happened.

But I personally think there has been too much emphasis on GDP growth around the western world and lower business costs rather than increasing discretionary income and jobs for lowest earners. So policies that are weighted for that rather than businesses I see as net gain at the moment.

👌

Do you want things to be cheaper or wages to be higher (especially wages for those in low wage jobs).

There were ideals about competitive advantage. But the whole economy has been undercut by lower wages elsewhere that things got cheaper but not because of increases in productivity in the economy so wages went down.

There are a lot of pressure to deflate wages with free trade and immigration. But things that increase wages like market forces and limited labour aren’t really a factor anymore.

Making things again would be taxes on imports, free education, tax breaks for RandD and investment. Also subsidies and blocks on exporting IP and knowledge.

The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?

Japan is weird.

I really want to go and get involved, and I don’t mean not in those weird videos or game shows you see on the internet.

Fake but at least it isn’t gay.

Melbourne is a city of tryhards

The view is anyone that can’t get sex is worthless. It’s a harsh truth that people don’t like to admit.

People love to use the fact that people aren’t get sex against them.

The whole treatment of incels seems hypocritical to me tbh. Like they make some good points. But society can’t accept nuance, they can’t accept that someone that don’t like might be right about something’s.

This is the united kingdom anyone that needs a /s should be taken out by firing squad at first light.

I’ve talked to so many fucking idiots about this that don’t get it.

Look roads are for cars and we all did a driving test and we know how fast is safe. Numbers don’t mean anything.

I should be able to drive 60 down a residential if I think I can. If some kid gets run over then that’s their fault and their parents. Roads are for cars. What you expect me to slow down and be late for work? I was already late when I left and this is going to add minutes to my journey people just don’t think.

I know I’m a good driver, I’ve only ever got points for speeding and for drunk driving (but I was still driving well). There some fucking idiots on the road I agree but we shouldn’t all be punished. We need more roads so we can go faster that’s the real issue.

Think you added too many centuries to that

Yes.

I’m sure it has some effect on your subconscious

You can squeeze that all into one month.

Well it’s a start isn’t it?

Just do a little better next time and the next time and the next time.

Have you tried being blackout drunk?

That’s what did it for me
