Fall and Winter are typically the season for this, but I’ve noticed more people than usual have taken up interest in what amount to gyms. These very, very expensive gyms, which market themselves as almost exceptional in how they can help you regain yourself. All the while these “miracle body regimes” are advertised everywhere. Suspicious industry much?

Some neighbors of mine were headed there. I remember this because they were about to get into their vehicle, and I asked “the location is right around the corner, you don’t want to walk and maybe save transport money” and they responded “no, we’re old, we can’t do that” before they rode there and gained entry so they can run on the machine, and returned having used their whole wallet due to the journey/destination. Though not as memorable as the fact they came back with a brand of potato chips with the same name as the place they went to. Nothing like feeding into what you’re there to fix.

How about you though?

    Roller derby is a scam. I have connected the dots to the WWE. The connection is the goddamn leotards. Prove me wrong.

          A Waffle House brawl, while it is a pillar of Southern life, is not an acceptable perk of employment for their staff.

            As a healthcare worker who has had a patient try to strangle her before…I would like violence not to be an expected part of my job.

          I’m convinced Thailand is super chill because everyone there is good at fighting. It’s literally their national sport.
