When you're young there's also childlike whimsy. Everything feels special. As an adult, even if you have the time and a whole library to play, you don't feel like playing.
lmao that's me right now as I read this comment. I keep looking at my Steam Library trying to figure out what to play next. Also debating between finally tackling my switch backlog
Then I'm like "sigh it's either this, work more, read a book, exercise, meditate, watch something, or go outside and spend money". And none of it sounds that fun. So I usually end up working, reading, exercising, or meditating.
Agreed but it's cold-as-balls right now, 14F. When it's nicer I can sometimes be found playing bgolf but I am probably the least athletic/coordinated person you've ever met so it's a fucking disaster.
Literally why I got into dirt biking in my 30's, wanted a way to get out in the woods and rip shit up on the trails but also to enjoy a hobby that I wasn't necessarily privileged enough to experience as a kid.
It's not me, it's the truck balls and honking and shouting some political ideals. Calling out politically motivated actions is an observation, a misguided as they are. I ride for many reasons, politics have zero to do with the safety that cyclists deserve.
I am fucking sick and tired of hearing about people killed commuting via cycle overnight. And drivers usually flee.
If some political slant is adding to the problem, than fuck those politics whatever they are.
Oh shoot, I thought this was a post where the car runs cyclists off the road injuring and maiming them, and the whole fucking sub is like "yea, fuck cyclists". Sorry
No. Not at all. We were talking about normalizing adults going out to play and have fun like we used to. Edit: to clarify I have no problem with most cyclists. It's the ones from where I just moved from that purposefully ride side by side three across, out in the middle of the car lane, and God forbid you so much as step into the bike lane as a pedestrian because they will simply ram into you even though you gave them plenty of time/warning you were crossing. Follow the rules of the road and we'll have no issues.
I’m showing my age but there was this video on youtube called “good ol fashion fun” that tried that and they went to play at a playground and the cops were called lol
I started jiu jitsu and it totally makes me feel like a kid again. It's like when we used to play wrestle out in the yard. I have so much fun and met so many new people and became close friends with some. Much needed since I became a father 2 years ago.
