They challenge me, hence why I went from looking forward to being done with calc 3 to spending 10-15 hours a week doing work for a class I’m auditing + 1-2 hours extra for “fun”
WHen it comes to things like politics, I just refuse to engage unless I am activiely being attacked (e.g. being mistreated bc someone thinks China is evil)
I confess I believe we have very different definitions of better—and that, in and of itself, challenges me. (Haha!)
I confess that I’m pushing back my squat workout today bc my legs are tired from…. Walking….
I got 4 four free flat screen TVs for free at work, man I’m such a dumba**, I don’t have room for them in my apartment 
Sounds like you got 1 flat screen for free and 3 to sell
I confess that I haven’t done any type of steady state cardio indoors for over 15 years. My wife has an indoor bike whose existence I refuse to acknowledge.
I’m an outdoors type of guy.
I confess that I’ve more or less given up wrt school
I’ve given up on doing the real 2 homeworks (auditing the class) and won’t do the last assignment of one of my real classes. Thesis is completed and I have a final project for that fking gender studies class that I really don’t want to do
spending free time watching movies when I could be studying maths/programming or reading papers
I confess I think you’re full of shit, young lady.
I think you will do the gender studies class work as well as you can. I believe this because deep down, you know it will be a useful exercise in diplomatically entertaining the same kind of hyper-emotional nonsense you will have to learn how to deal with as an adult, both personally and professionally.
Don’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
You’ve been accepted to the next program. Not there yet.
This is where you learn the art of elegant BS. Tell them exactly what they want to hear (most of those types of classes the teachers don’t want original thought - they want echo chambers of their own thoughts) get the grade and move on.
It’s a lot like the BS workplace violence training I had to take today to “prepare” for an active shooter situation. It’s meaningless since they don’t let us carry anything larger than a 2.5” folding knife. You do what you have to and move on - cycle of adult life.
Some pot bellied bald dude said I was gonna hurt myself doing decline dumbbell flys and tried to offer me advice.
He was struggling to do crunches. In fact he really couldn’t do em cause of his big ol belly.
Bruh……
What is with these insecure types???
I confess that my wife left on a business trip on Sunday, and within 4 hours of her departure I had purchased a 55" television, a rack of lamb and organic chicken drumstricks from Costco and over $200 worth of piedmontese beef (but got 30% off: what a deal!).
I can’t be left alone…
Yesterday, I moved away from home and all family for the first time in my adult life (23 y.o.), and will be gone for a couple of months (internship), and can already tell I am most likely going to develop some unhealthy eating habits while living in a small, remote town with few grocery options and lots of, basically, burger and pizza places.
Seeing the pitfalls means you have a chance to get out ahead of them dude! Congrats first off: that’s a big move! Spouse and kiddo along for the ride, or are you geo-bacheloring it?
No, just me. I’m working with the buffalo program in Yellowstone for 2 months. Beautiful surroundings but staying in some pretty remote areas. Have to drive a couple hours each way to get to a good grocery store, which won’t be impossible, just means spending money on gas.
It was hard for me to leave, but the fam agreed it was a unique enough opportunity (and in all reality, not that long of an absence) that I couldn’t pass it up.
Do you have a mailing address/PO box? Might honestly be more economical to get some essentials shipped to you vs making the drive.
Meant to also confess that I am totally “that guy” at the office today, because I brought fish AND eggs to eat…but it’s mahi mahi at least!
Cool!
Our local county park just got a new buffalo.
They’re a pretty amazing animal. They do so much to benefit ecosystems.
I came across this a few months ago and thought it was neat. I’d always imagined them as Great Plains animal, didn’t realize they were so wide-spread.
Can’t speak for the town names - only one I know of is in NY. Does PA have a town named Buffalo?
I want to know where you find a chicken with 4 legs LOL
There are several, and given that it has been around for a long time, the western edge of it has changed several times.
The area I’m in was once the western most “settled” area of the US, and site of the Whiskey Rebellion.
Those ones seem to do pretty good around here with the mild winters and moderate summers. They’re pretty tough creatures. This is like easy mode for them climate wise.
