  • Yes, because a lack of a pair of shorts and tshirt are the reasons why. /s

    Have a home gym don’t have a treadmill or stationery bicycle, to me that is weird, I can run around outside and I have a bike that i ride regularly. That said, decent gym equipment is expensive.

    Im 58, I’ve been lifting weights since I was 17, (with some breaks) for me it’s more like meditation. You can’t win at it and it’s not a game. My parter lifts with me, she said she likes it, so i will take her at her word.

    There’s any number of studies showing how good resistance training is for you, especially as you age.

    Henry Rollins did the best reason why.

    I don’t really get the whole NAS thing i must admit. Most of what I read about what people are doing is enabling slacker family and friends ? (That’s not a critisism, just an observation)

    I have a TV, a HDD connected on the router and Kodi on the Nvidia Shield Pro. Any music is stored on my phone, or streamed via Netradio

    I very occasionally copy media across to my phone to watch and then… it sits there and I dont watch it.

    My parter uses Kodi on the TV occasioanly.

    I don’t stream anything aside from some YT occasionally (DIY etc)

    I get people do endless shit with their NAS, or server but I’m am retired and don’t have the time

    Books are managed via Calibre on a a Kobo.

    I think we should just go the Swiss-route and do direct democracy;

    That’s literally the Anarchy system. I.e Laws and no leaders.

    As an Australian who has ranked choice (we call it preferential) it’s not the panecea folks here seem to think it is to bring about the enlightenment.

    I’m 58, have voted in every election from when I was eligible through to this year. We don’t have ICE but we have Border Force and we routinely deport non citizens, we inspect digital devices at the border, we off shore legal refugees in internment camps, we have zero care for the enviorment and love penis shaped defence spending, we are a car dependent shit hole with few redeeming qualities… It’s ever been thus, Donad Horne oponed on this in the 1970s.

    We don’t have feedom of the press or freedom of speech, so often these things are unable to even be reported on at all and our most egregious atrocities have widespread support amongst the broader population. In that respect its not as big a divisor as. n the US as we’re all arseholes :) We’re happy to allow religious scumbags to discriminate against LGBQT folks, happy to have our privacy removed, are quite fond of fucking over our indigenous peoples and the wider enviorment and near zero concern for exestential issues like climate change. We’re happy to shit over homeless people and have unaffordable housing and racism is broadly endemic.

    We have never elected a government that i think is anything but objectively fucking horrible, we have our tongue firmly stuck up the US foreign policy asshole and follow them into every stupid dumb shit military action. We have had the occasionally decent poltican but then so does the US (Bernie etc) .

    Like us, your people are broken and you’re not going to cure what ails ya’ with RCV.

    I find the actual user ENGAGEMENT significantly worse.

    That’s the point though?

    I don’t use Mastodon for engagement but a feed of interesting stuff across a variety of subjects posted by others. Masto is a little bit like an RSS feed, I don’t castigate RSS for that either.

    Therefore I’ve come to the clear scientific and educated decision that Lemmy is simply superior

    Sarcasm aside, that’s like saying a screwdriver is better then a hammer.
