Yep! But the waiting for machines to open up, all the people around, just made it now as fun for me. My gf at the time didn't work out.

My current gf does work out and we have been to the gym together, and that's not so bad.

I never had the patience to deal with gymgoers even when they weren't newbs.

Thousands of dollars later, my entire basement is a combo of weights, free weight machines, cable machines and cardio machines.

Keep writing. As the late GREAT Ed Wood said: "Keep writing. Your story may not get better, but your writing will."

This is truth!

Thank you. I found that if I don't doomscroll and just look up subjects I like.. Then easier to be on good mood.

And Trump would have won this time around, even if Jill Stein wouldn't have ran. That's how big his margin was. Dude, he won electoral AND popular vote.

You all need to take a look at yourselves and realize why you lost so bad. It sure as fuck wasn't because of Jill Stein. lol

Yep! I retire in 5 months. 55 years old. With full pension.

My house is paid off and I have no debt. Since I have no bills, my pension will cover my needs just fine. It's not a huge pension or anything, but I've worked for my state for most of my adult life, and whittled down my bills to almost nothing. So I'll get by just fine.

I plan to just spend my time in retirement doing exactly what I want. I've recently started a local branch of my favorite socialist party, so I'll devote more time to that.

Plus, I'll do a lot of writing, a lot of Lemmy posting, garden more so I can grow most of my meals, and doing DIY solar projects so that I can cut back on my bills even farther. Because fuck the capitalist power infrastructure in my state. My state's BS laws won't let me go completely off-grid while here in the city, but I plan on reducing how much I have to pay as far down as I can go

as Zemeckis has already pitched the idea at Universal and “they don’t get it.”

I'm with them. I don't get it. It sounds like a horrible idea.
