Sounds similar to me in some ways, I think a small group of friends like that is better though. A few of us a still quite close and catch up regularly so I call that a win vs being generally popular.

lmao

C’mon Tars!

Definitely agree with this, I find Siu Nim Tau a good example of it for me.

shocked gasp

Lots of physical training and also escapism. I guess training is also a form of escapism in a way too.

Rucking, lifting, Wing Chun, Star Citizen, Stoicism (the og version). I try not to monologue too much on them but it takes restraint.

Fuck You - The Used

Isn’t the fact that it’s uncommon what makes it extreme though? I could be wrong about that but I’m not sure how else you’d define what is extreme vs not.

Fuel cans probably.

Damn, Gax really wants a friend.

That’s a good point. I guess things have gotten so bad I don’t consider those views to be held only by extremists anymore but maybe (and hopefully) I’m wrong about that.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone but my assumption is that there is such fundamental disagreement that for many, even saying “agree to disagree” with certain people would be a betrayal of their own values.

Someone I know put it pretty well when talking about the idea of how accepting their workplace should be of people’s different political values. They said “If someone doesn’t think I should have human rights, I don’t want to work with them.” which I think makes the point pretty well. See also: paradox of tolerance.

Well, they won’t be once I bring them inside, will they?

Hell yes. We really need another Battle for Middle Earth game, the music and vibes were so good.

Used to almost always order delivery. I was super unhealthy. Now it’s almost completely home cooking at least for the last few months.

So you wanna be a wok super star

And live large, a big dish, five spice, you’re in charge

Cookin’ up for the world, don’t trust no body gotta toss all the ingredients constantly

Bit of a cliche one but I have been a pretty nerdy and sedintary person for most of my life. I decided to try working out at the gym, initially wasn’t super into it but then became addicted and now I spend quite a lot of time outside work on my fitness and really love it.

Very good point, choosing an appropriate surface would become very important.
