I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.

We also didn't do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.

Not pro-life, but anti-choice.

You'll notice this trend continues beyond the topic of women's health.

She can have a regular owl like the rest of us.

What a weird choice for a photo

Does BK still say "Have it your way"?

Or M&Ms "Melt in your mouth, not in your hand."

Imagine being unemployed and looking for work.

I have to answer every call.

Every call is spam. The number of calls I get has increased tenfold.

I'm certain that some of these jobs and recruitment sites aren't actually hiring for anything. They are just collecting and selling my data.

I live off grid in the woods. Grew a full beard because shaving in the cold and the dark sucks. Always make time to keep the lower regions well managed though.

Also knowing several women that live similarly... They don't shave their legs but they do keep the rest of their hair very maintained.

I commute via boat. My standard is instant oatmeal w/ dried fruit in a mason jar with lid and a coozie.

I buy the oatmeal and dried fruit in bulk and prep a weeks worth at a time. The whole process takes less than 5 mins. While I'm getting ready for work I boil water and then pour it in just before leaving. By the time I load up on the boat it's cool enough to eat.

No idea why it gave me a Borg implant but it is accurate on multiple levels.

Unfortunately they weren't concerned about public money used for religion.

They were concerned that those other religions expect equal treatment.

You have lots of good answers posted but here is the trick...You have to START.

You don't need to sign up at the gym today and build a schedule to work out. That's way too much commitment. Instead just go outside.

That's it. Just put down the phone and go outside. Spend 5 or 10 mins out there. You didn't run a marathon, but you've done something today. Maybe later today you can go outside again. Tomorrow so the same thing. Put the phone down and go outside for a short time.

You gotta start somewhere, so make it easy and start small. Eventually you'll spend more time outside and less time doing nothing. Maybe you see cool plants and start getting into gardening. Maybe you find that walking isn't so bad and you find a park with a nice trail and work into jogging? Maybe the kid down the street wrecks his minibike in front of your house while you're outside and you stop to help and think the tiny motorcycle is cool and get inspired to start riding.

tldr- Don't just pick someone else's hobby. Put down the phone and go experience life outside your home. The hobby will likely find you when you start paying attention instead of distracting yourself.
