Telling myself I’ll go to the farmer’s market and then not doing it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Laundry is the real answer

I go boxing every weekend I'm home and will keep it up thru retirement just to stay mobile.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Training for boxing every weekend, very good. Doing actual boxing and getting repeatedly hit in the head every weekend, not exactly the most senior friendly activity.

Gardening and plant care. Winters would be quiet tho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Greenhouses and indoors plants exist though. And some vegetables like kale grow well in winter. And I've seen some impressive greenhouses that use geothermal energy (think water pipes 3 meters deep feeding warmth all winter long).

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.
