Sleeping.
Telling myself I’ll go to the farmer’s market and then not doing it.
I know there is a wide variety of times but I feel like 2/3rds of the farmer’s markets near me are at inconvenient times for me. “3-7PM on a weekday” nope, “8AM-12PM on sunday” MAYBE if I wake up early and am feeling adventurous.
It’s yet one more sign of poor sleep habits, at least for me. I have one within walking distance every Saturday until 2pm but I’m so exhausted from the week. How is it difficult to get up early enough to go?
You should. I found out there’s a huge list of cities in my country that have farmer’s markets, pretty every day of the week.

I have an IT company, and believe the same. We’re all working remote, and we organize competitions regularly like who is doing the most interesting sports, making the most progress, being the most consistent, etc.
I think it’s also important for the long term sustainability of the team too, we want people to have healthy lifestyle balances and not burn out.

I started working out because I was super weak and just had a kid, and I realized there was a legitimate risk that I wouldn’t be able to pick up my own child, so I started doing some strength training and holy crap this is amazing. Then I went back to college and lost my workout schedule, but after college I started running the following super smokey summer and didn’t make much progress, but this summer I’ve picked up biking and I’m currently up to about 3 miles of extremely hilly biking every day.
I seriously forgot how fun biking is, and it’s also nice just how much healthier I feel from the regular fitness

Human beings aren’t meant to be sedentary. Absolutely get moving in some way or another!
I’m 31 and I’ve always been on the nerdy side. I have ADHD which let’s me lose whole days really easy. I decided a long time ago that dripping out of college was probably the best thing that could have happened for my health. I eventually got a job working outside and I’ve never looked back. If only I didn’t have one of the (if not the) most dangerous jobs in America right now.

Is it being a lifeguard to Donald Trump? WELL DON’T LEAVE US HANGING.
Tree work. Super dangerous. Specifically, I climb the trees to trim/remove them.
So basically, you’re the one that doesn’t want to be left hanging.
Thanks for filling us in!
I never had to before, always had reasonably active jobs. Supervisor role and middle age and a scolding from my doctor has made a difference.
I’ve been giving myself 20 minutes a day for the last six weeks. I haven’t really lost weight, but I do feel better.

Blood pressure is the real reason I started.

Yeah me too, but I haven’t gotten my shit together with diet or exercise and my doctor is taking it way too cautiously with medication.
I’m constantly too tired t put enough energy into getting my doctor to be useful and getting myself in gear …… actually Pokémon Go is the only thing that works. Every Saturday I’ll take a 3-5 mile walk with my teens (except recently with heat waves)
and work standing

Playing D&D
Pretty much same, but TTRPGs in general. I abandoned D&D after it became clear that Hasbro is going to continue making the game worse to squeeze money out of the fans.
I’m a bit out of date, but what prevents you from picking the edition you like the most and just sticking to it?
It depends on the edition, and whether or not you want to pirate or have access to new content or digital companion tools, either 1st or 3rd party.
4e is basically unplayable digitally now because of licensing issues for the companion technology. If you still have the books you could try, but it’s an edition that leaned heavily on the assumption that digital tools would be used.
5e scared off a ton of 3rd party creators with the proposed licensing changes last year, and their new 5.5 edition looks to not be very open at all in terms of creator content. You might as well play a spinoff system like the Kobold press 5e or the LOTR 5e.
3.5 and earlier is still possible but the content was mostly never digitized into a good online resource. You could still play pen and paper, but if you’re going back that far you might as well just play a more modern system that draws inspiration from the older D&D system like OSR or PF.
All that being said, it’s all still playable, it just doesn’t have much of a future if you don’t want to get sucked into enshittification, ads, and microtransactions that Hasbro has committed to transforming the game into.
I never went past pen and paper, interesting insights.
Fair enough. I personally can’t go back to physical. Digital is just so helpful for me as a DM. I think pretty much anything can still be run as long as you have the books, but again it’s a question of whether or not you want new published content. If you are happy with the snapshot of the game that exists in the materials you have, then by all means.
PF2e works pretty well on Foundry. I’ve been playing it for a while now and while there are some glitches, there has been steady progress and only a few niche activities aren’t decently accounted for. I heard PF described as D&D5e with some homebrew rules added on to fix the balance issues, and 2e takes it a bit further. There are things I don’t like, but it’s pretty fun and having a computer take care of most of the tedious math is nice.
Yeah I play PF2e on Foundry as well. It’s fantastic.
Nothing. I haven’t paid for dnd content since the 90s.

Everybody else in the group, however…
Their kid was ill, their partner had a thing, they didn’t remember another event that they had previously agreed on, they said yes but they were thinking of another date, “is it for that game? I thought we were gonna play something else.”, that’s a long weekend week so they had out-of-state plans, etc… etc…
I sometimes feel bad for DMs.
Edit: If I say I’ll come, I will come, I’ll force myself. Otherwise laziness will get the best of me. Few things I own, better to keep my word.

Getting thoroughly zooted
What’s the admission cost to Castle Anthrax?
You must spank us all.
Breathing, even though breathing is extremely dangerous. Evidence shows that 100% of all people who breathe will die. This can be traced back genetically; everyone who breathes was born to people who had also breathed during their lifetimes.
I hear folks that drink dihydrogen monoxide can become addicted after their first sip. One sip, and they are chasing that dragon for the rest of their days on earth, sad really. It’s why I only drink soda, love me some sugary teeth rot
Five-a-side football (soccer). I’m not a sporty person, but started going with a local group a few years ago and have reaped the benefits of doing some intensive team exercise once per week. I go with a bunch of guys way older than I am, and it’s amazing how fit and healthy they are compared to the average person I meet of their age. I certainly plan to keep this up so long an injury doesn’t prevent me.
Having sex.
it would be heaven if i could go out every weekend to the same places and fuck all the guys who wanted it like i am now, for the rest of my life.
eating a meal
A succulent Chinese meal?
I have a Pang for one.
Apparently, waking up by 6 or 6:30 because my stupid body is on a schedule and we’re sticking to it every day, I guess.
Oh, and laundry. No matter what else I have going on, the laundry never stops.
Laundry is the real answer
my stupid body is on a schedule
Sticking to the same schedule is supposed to be good for you. Some kinda circadian rhythm thing.
So be okay with it. Your body is doing you a solid.
I know, but it would be nice to sleep in until like, 7 on the weekend.
Spanking it.
You do that anyway, choose another one.

Napping.
It’s a skill I unlocked about five or so years ago and it’s marvelous.
What I’d like to do? Play Pente with friends and family in the morning in a cafe. It’s an easy going game that you can have conversations over and it is a family favorite of mine.
Realistically? Forage for mushrooms and be successful at hunting in a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.
Sounds pretty optimistic to me. Nobody’s going to live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. At least not in the northern hemisphere.
Sometimes all you can do is hope
