My second son calls his mother and I by our first names and has done since he was 5. None of our other kids do that, it is something he decided to do, and has continued. He is now 16

Fucking legends. All of them.

Has anyone done this with Genghis Khan. Or maybe hitler?

It wasn’t easy getting into that routine. I get up at 4:30 for my weekday walk, and it takes about an hour. Weekend walks start at 5:00am, and generally take 1.5-2 hours. Gym is two hours, once or twice during the week and both weekend days. Life still gets in the way sometimes, and I am lucky that my job is flexible. For example, I started work at 6:30 this morning and will knock off at 2:30 and go straight to the gym. I will be home before 5:00.

The alternative was living with the results of an injury and letting my health deteriorate further than it already had. Some days, motivation is still hard.

Walk 5km a day during the week, and 8-10km a day on weekends. Weights three to four times a week, and a cardio session afterwards. I like using the ski machine, as it gives me a serious workout without any impact.

Weights has had a huge impact on my quality of life, as I am recovering (recovered?) from a serious head injury. I was not active for nearly 18 months and am feeling good about my body for the first time in years.

58m here for context.

Seriously. I walk 5km in about 50 minutes

You just had a birthday didn’t you? Turned 40? Grumpy old man…

Once again, wrong forum. I am atheist. There are no gods. No divine plan. When we die, we just end.

If you need more than that, then live your truth. Just leave me out of it.

Stop trying so fucking hard

Yeah, I know the statistics. My crash I spoke about was off road, on private farmland, riding my enduro bike. I do ride on road, as well as on closed circuits when I can, but two wheels is no longer my only form of transport. I used to do over 100,000 km a year on road, on various motorcycles. Now it’s closer to 15,000.

I understand the risks. I also know what it does for me and my mental health.

I’ll never give it up. Well, unless I’m a danger to others.

Late 50’s and always been fit. I had a crash on my motorcycle (off road, went over the bars) which took three weeks to recover from. Serious bruising to both legs as they caught on the bars. Had trouble walking for three days. Limped for over two weeks. Still got legs that range from yellow to purple.

Finally figuring out that my teen years are behind me. Now reconsidering buying a Ducati desmo450mx. Might have to be a fucking golf cart instead.

I bet it listens to everything around it, collates the data and feeds back relevant, targeted advertising. In ultra HD of course

Enshittification is a well documented and understood concept

As it should

Where else have I seen something like that recently?

See, that’s a double negative, so the “no’s” cancel each other out, therefore you are left with a terrorist organisation

Absolutely terrible. That’s just wrong. He gushed out the other side of his neck.

Leopard missed his face. Got him right on the neck.

Ah, I see that you have met my wife’s uncle Rudi!
