No you’re just genuinely not smart. People have already mentioned that on here.

Have fun? Idk what to tell you really.

This is maybe the most clear cut thing in fitness.

Carbs fuel runners. Plain and simple, it's objective. Sorry you aren't really a fitness type guy. More an ideologue

My wife worked in pet insurance for 6 years, when it was becoming more of a thing. She worked for a small shop that was actually really good, had a great reputation. The owner sold and the company was bought 3 times after that before she quit.

Anytime anyone asks her about pet insurance she says absolutely do not get it. There's no point. Any prior condition can be treated as "preexisting" and denied. Vet care is still cheap enough to where insurance isn't needed, although the prevalence of insurance is changing that. Wellness is too high for the little it covers.

Find a good local vet that owns their shop. The issue is that vets aren't business savvy in most regards so they don't know how to turn a profit. There are some out there who provide good services, keep costs low enough without sacrificing patient outcomes, and are accessible.

Stay away from vets who have sold to PE and pay out of pocket.

ETA - Most people who get a big bill do so due to their dog ingesting a foreign object. That's 5-7k. If you can't stomach paying that out of pocket or working out a payment plan, don't get a dog. Or do a better job of training your dogs,picking up stuff around the house, etc.

This coming from someone who has had to pay for two out of pocket TPLOs.

I think of my dog more as my friend. We are pals that spend our days together.

I get it a lot from people at stores and shite. Like counter people at a supply store. They can’t sit in silence. They get uncomfortable without humor. It’s something strange.

I think it’s less about the in shape and more about the limitations of the human body.

An average in shape 42 year old man can’t recover as fast an average obese 19 year old. There are cell limitations.

I need you to read this carefully. I'm not a liberal. As much as you want me to be, I have never voted for a democrat in my life. I know that makes you upset because it implies my next statement.

I'm just not retarded enough to double down on what is clearly an incompetent president.

It's okay. You have backed the wrong horse. It's fine to admit you are wrong. You don't need to tie your identity to this. It's not a moral failing.

January 12th is literally more than 2 months away from Spring, and less than 1 month from the start of Winter.

This is stupid... while am no Boomer fan by any means, they, just like us were forced into that crap program. So your solution is to take all their money from 30-40 years and say frick it, too bad for you?

Any different than they are doing to younger generations?

Locking up equity in their homes

Selling small businesses to PE Firms

Voting for the very shite they opposed when they were young

frick em

You're getting older.

Young people don't give a shite about the holiday, they want a reason to get hammered.

If you really want a mindfrick, spend christmas away from your family. My wife and I spent 5 Christmases by ourselves, and you'd be surprised just how little the holiday affects you without family around.

It's nice. It's nicer to be around family as long as it isn't full of drama.

I think that’s the point of the movie.

There is no point to your life, yet moments are beautiful. There is no optimized result. Sometimes you waste your life to grief. Sometimes you don’t get on with it. You’ll be forgotten in under a century most likely. Yet your life contains beautiful and profound moments.

It's interesting the different perspectives here. I cried like a baby watching that movie because it was the first time a film encapsulated how I feel to my core. There was nothing depressing about it to me. Just reality.
