Sadly I can't foresee a future where social media isn't a dominant force. Like what could possibly displace it at this point? Only dismantling GAFAM could make it work.

Yes I am aware of the irony of posting this comment on social media.

Unsatisfactory for what? The only things I can't find on RD are occasional really old or foreign films/shows. Even then there's usually at least a 480p version if I'm really desperate. I have considered switching to Usenet before but it seemed super complicated.

I'll check it out. Kodi definitely does take some nerdy configuration. BTW Fen is much faster than Seren, give it a try.

With the Fen add-on linked with Trakt.

I use Kodi with a subscription to Real Debrid. Are these options better?

I also used to run a LOT and now can't anymore cause of injury. Tried swimming but it wasn't enough to keep me in shape due to my age and...indulgent lifestyle.

Going to the gym became my only option and yeah, the results were almost instantaneous. I lost quite a few kilos, felt more energised, and my outward appearance improved.

I think when you consider the positives it makes a lot of sense...

  • You feel good for challenging yourself, and even better when you succeed.
  • You feel good full stop because exercise gives your endorphins.
  • You feel good for sticking to a routine. This has the added benefit of demanding that you are more organised generally, in order to make time for workouts.
  • You feel good because you start to look better.
  • You feel good because it helps to relieve day-to-day stress that builds up.

I'm not aiming to get huge or anything. But I think the benefits should be pretty obvious. I enjoy going for the reasons I just listed and cause I can listen to music on my headphones and kind of zone out.

Fair enough. I'm not at that stage yet, still trying to find communities to join haha.

As a fountain pen user and fan of stationery, I can assure you not all paper is created equal. For me it's 100% worth paying for the good stuff.

I'm on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it's available.

I'm 37 and I'd still do that for $250.

Another thing that nobody could have foreseen is people posting racist/sexist/hateful stuff in general, and then somebody like their employer digging it up later. Bye bye career and reputation. Those people probably deserve it but still.

Expensive drinks when I'm out for dinner etc. But I guess that's the cost of socialising.
