limelight79, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Cycling, definitely. It’s just fun to do.

Of course you can be pushing hard or some jackass in a car just passed you with inches to spare, and those times aren’t fun, but most of the time it’s fun. My wife says I do my best thinking while I’m riding. If I’m on a group ride, there’s often good conversation with friends.

atyaz,

Depending on where you live, it might be nice to see a lot more of what’s around you on a bike. It’s similar to OP’s idea of getting lost in the flow of a competitive sport. You get lost looking at all the places that pass you by. You can take random routes each time and learn the city around you pretty well. It doesn’t hurt to have your headphones in and listen to an audiobook while you’re doing this either.

I never really got into running because it’s so much slower than biking. You will see a fraction of what you see on a bike, so I think it probably gets boring quicker. Plus it puts more strain on your joints.

masquenox, in given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

That was never the point.

burningquestion, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

The only real argument I’d make is that most manufacturers only push out security updates for a given model for a couple of years, but different companies have different support timelines.

Ziggurat, in How safe is it to eat raw eggs?

People eat raw eggs all the time. Have you ever done mayonaise or chocolate mousse ? it’s made of raw-eggs. In most of the first world, salmonella isn’t an issue, there is strict food safety norm making sure any salmonella case would be caught quickly before eggs/meat make it into the store.

arthur, in What's it like working night shift?

I remember nauseousness induced by sleep deprivation in the first nights. I left after a year, that was late 2000s.

headphones all the time

I don’t want everyone in the room to know what I’m listening to. But if I need to sing because THIS SONG HITS then I get it off the headphones and to speakers or just my phone audio output.

writeblankspace, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?
@writeblankspace@geddit.social avatar

…Is Taylor Swift a genre?

But seriously, my music taste is pretty much her. Otherwise I like alt rock, rock (not too heavy though), ballads, pop that has good lyrics and a decent hook, and any song I hear that has guitars I like 25% more than those that don’t.

Noles, in How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds?
  • Jabra Elite earbuds for normal day to day
  • SkullCandy Crusher Evo if I’m at the gym because the bass is rediculous and gets me hype
  • Audeze Penrose if I’m gaming - best sound for the price imo
Aurenkin, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I had to drag myself out of the house for strength training once a week at first. It took a while but I actually started enjoying it to the point that I go to the gym almost every day now. I think it helps a lot that the gym is like a 2 minute walk though.

I think that’s the problem for me. The closest gym from me is 1 hour of car away, and for other sports you can forget about it

Tywele, in What is the best anonymous image hosting site?

I wanted to use catbox.moe in the future.

fubo,

Catbox seems to work pretty well, but do note that they are blocked by government censorship in some countries (see their FAQ).

That’s what’s keeping me from using it. My understanding is that if I link an image from there, users in the UK and Australia won’t see it

@steal_your_face@lemmy.ml avatar

Last time this was brought up users from those countries said they could use it so idk what the deal is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hm you’re right, I just tried it from a VPN and it worked fine. Not sure what that’s about then, maybe I will start using it

Hi! I’m in the UK and use catbox for all my images here on lemmy. I read that I’m not supposed to be able to access it but I’ve not had any issues

c10l, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Cycling, yes. Running, not so much because my calves tend to seize up and it gets a little painful but I can see how it could be enjoyable.

Climbing is absolutely amazing!

Lifting weights… I tried. I find it exceedingly boring, and it never felt like I actually worked out, even when I was pushing hard.

osmn,

Climbing is for real G’s 😎

IDe,

Running, not so much because my calves tend to seize up and it gets a little painful

This is often a form and/or a shoe type issue.

For the past year my workout has simply been roller skating. And yes, it is joyous every time!

skillissuer, in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

because they are campists: if america bad, then everyone who opposes america good. support for land-grabbing nationalists like putin is one thing, but some even support iranian government
