Wouldnt that just be supply and demand? Why would less comfortable housing not be less expensive?

Yeah, sure, but: that is still 1h spent doing things to distract you from an environment you don’t want to be in

I define “free time” as “time where I am able to do whatever comes to my mind, within reason”. I cannot scratch my ass in a commuter train, I cannot decide to be alone, I cannot decide to meet a friend while commuting, I cannot play sports in a car, I cannot decide to take a nap on the highway, and so on and so forth.

Therefore, commuting time is not free time. It is time where I am not 100% occupied with some task, true, but tbh I could describe a lot of work days in the same way.

I mean, that is just the US having almost 1/3 the population density of Europe. Given the amount of large cities in the US, there are just very large empty spaces where nobody really does stuff.

If I am not intentionally hurrying up, getting some caffeine into me, waiting for it to kick in, showering, dressing, and performing all these little maintenance things a body needs to continue functioning and look presentable takes about an hour, yes.

that 1hr commute can be audiobooks

Edit: apparently my first sentence was not clear enough: Sure, I could hurry up. But I don’t want to. I enjoy not having to hurry every waking moment of my life. Making, drinking and enjoying a coffee is one of those things that keep me from ending up in a padded cell.

As long as we get to pick our tribes, realize that it is all good-spirited tribalism and banter, and are able to tolerate if people pick a different tribe, I’m cool with it. Hell yeah, brother 🤘

Man, the “damn, I know that’s difficult” is strong in every sport. I can appreciate a sport so much more if I did it myself, even just a few months. Fencing? No idea, people waving some sticks around. Soccer football? Sick volley shot, man, I saw a mate to the same thing back in 2006…

While I applaud your effort of posting that, there is a bit of irony to post an amazon link…

Ik weet niet, wilt je meer of minder domheid… goede vraag.

What the fuck, same here

I think we are on to something

Fully agree. My grandma used to add WD-40 to cakes all the time. Best cakes ever. If you want a good cake then add wd-40

Sorry to say, but I think you know already, but at this point it sounds like classic addiction behaviour. Similar to alcoholism, gambling, gaming addiction…

I suggest you look up resources on how to beat addiction in general. And don’t forget, anyone can fall into a trap like this, you are not weak for having a relapse, you are strong for trying again.

Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That’s how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude

I mean, if he makes it himself or knows the people who do, he probably gets it a lot cheaper than at the store.

I want to know how to maliciously flirt. Hey sexy, want to come to my place and stick your fingers in the power outlet?

The person does have a point. A vibrator or fleshlight cannot feel what you do to it. It’s not sex, it’s masturbating. Sure, all fun and games, but the part where you do things to another human for shared pleasure is missing.

I don’t think hiphop producers are native to this biome, they need more sun and concrete to survive.

Cries in Dutch politics

Idk, “colliding” is not a word I would use for that. Colliding sounds like insurance reports and police tape.

Although, I bet there are people who are into that, too. Hey, I’m not kink-shaming.

I have a TV from 2014 that has Skype support with a USB webcam. Just saying.
