Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn’t work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.
It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I’ve put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.
For context, that’s more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.
As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain’t so bad 😁
Less like a crisis, more like a solution
True 😁
Smoking meats
Running and smoking meats and everything that is food, my kettle is having a hard time
True, true, this is me too. I’ve got to admit to having to hold myself back from a full on outdoor kitchen. But I have a nice grill and a huge smoker, and I’ll be here every weekend wondering how to find people who want to share 15# of pulled pork or something.
I’ve actually gone overboard with cooking in general. Replaced teflon with cast iron and stainless steel, and a griddle top , and learned how to cook so many different foods from so many cuisines.
Here in my backyard, smoking these meats.
Fuck, right as I got back into manga and anime…
But it’s mostly rock climbing really.
Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Is this the guerrilla warfare copy pasta?
orz
Omou again, fucker.
My sides.
And I know it’s a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but “akachan” is way too friendly for “You’re fucking dead, kiddo”. I’d go for “gaki”, which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means “kiddo”, with the same connotations and all.
Grad school but I can’t afford it. Or running but my knees hurt so I got way too into bicycles
If your pedals have power meters, you’ve gone too far.
Jokes on you, my power meter is in the crank arm.
Yeah yeah, that’s what I meant.
So pedal power meters are not too far? 😅
A friend of mine swears on pedal power meters, easier to swap between bikes than crank arm ones. I’m too cheap for either.
I don’t know about the swapping thing, but power meter cranks are like a grand. I’d rather buy the regular kind and pay my local mechanic $50 to swap them. Although I’ve biked about 5000 miles a year for the last 20 years and I’ve never had to swap cranks.
BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I’m a regular at munches and play parties.
Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
Think of it as more of a space where people can meet up and get freaky. 90 percent of the time is people standing around and chatting in fetish gear.
Okay I’ll bite
What is pickle ball? Is it like Calvin ball? Also, whoever finishes reading this comment will forget they were ever gay.
私も攻撃されたと感じる。。。
どうですね!
Where is the one for dating someone 15-20 years younger than you?
Fucking legends
Or fucking nonces. Depending on where they are in the age range
That’s the post divorce crisis
That’s a sub class, if you pick running then you’ll date a younger runner. If you pick Japan then you’ll date a young Japanese person etc.
Oh god, I feel called out. Except that mine has been a long and painful trajectory with various episodes since high school.
The workshop life has found me. Currently obsessed with 3d printing
I did this as a hobby anyway, but I just can’t find the time.
As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!
Le sigh. Grad school
Japan?? Ummm, wut? Damnit… I’m still going.
Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.
