I've told people for years that if you see me running, something is chasing me.

I wont ever run unless I'm being chased.

I only run to a bathroom or away from an attacker.

I enjoyed running. I was slow, but it felt good. I wish my knees could still do it, but I understand it's not for everyone. I enjoyed running with my girlfriend too, for two good reasons.

I only run when I have two minutes left to get to the store before it closes. I probably wouldn't even bother running if I were in danger because just running down the street has me hurting and coughing my lungs out. I'd hope who/whatever is after me will save me the trouble and just k*ll me quick.

I herd you. Don't like cruises either

Too many stories about outbreaks of diseases on cruise ships.

And don't forget the most of the staff on these big cruise ships are underpaid and overworked. They come from third world or developing countries and have little or no rights while they're working. I've done contract work on carnival and other cruise ships and it's discusting the way they treat the workers

I'll never go on one. Heard too many dreadful stories, plus you can't get off if you don't like it !

I was chatting with my mum once and mentioned that I liked the idea of going on a cruise. She said "no, bad idea; there's SO much shady stuff that happens on those things, and a lot of really awful, trashy people."

I was sent to Catholic Parochial elementary school as a kid. Even in fourth grade I figured none of the religious stuff made any logical sense. I do not mean to be insulting to believers, but one really has to lack critical and logical thinking ability to buy into that nonsense.

I honestly had people ask me: How can you be so nice and honest without ever been at church?

I have been kicked out of nearly every church I’ve stepped foot in - not for misbehavior, or disrespecting the faith, etc. In two instances, the preacher’s wife, or another “respected” member of the church didn’t like how I looked as I wasn’t in a dress. Another church, I went with cousins and got shunned as I hadn’t attended the church since birth. My mom also had terrible experiences as a kid attending a couple of different catholic churches, and refused to subject us to it as well. The Catholic church my dad and his fam attended was really pretty - old, stone cathedral build with a light and airy feel inside. The priest they had was way different than the ones my mom grew up with, but by the point I stepped foot in that building I was agnostic at best.

If one believes in science, the poor woman, which is abused as incubator in Georgia, would just have let died peacefully. If one believes in an higher celestial authority determining your life and fate, and decided to follow that decision no-questions-asked, then the hard "no, you die" decision that this entity made, needs to be accepted. The most il(l)-logic are the people bouncing around between "I do everything my religious leader wants me to do" and "I ignore the decisions of my religious leader and play god myself".

Same, my friend. Same

💯 I wish people wouldn’t expect me to be alert, cheerful, and ready to go early in the morning. I’m out of bed and I’m dressed; you got what you wanted. Isn’t that enough? Sometimes I think we night people should make all the morning people stay up late, so they would know how it feels.

I have DMV - diurnal mood variation - linked to being bipolar. If I have to be a 'morning' person, I hate the world and everyone and everything in for at least 90 minutes 🤬

Morning, what's that?

I'm up every day by 6:30 am (no alarm), regardless of what time i go to sleep the night before...NOT a morning person...takes me until about 10 am & 3-4 cups of coffee to get functional

I would argue that someone who is anti-choice, anti-education, anti-LGBT, anti-DEI, anti-voting rights, anti-environment, anti-economy, etc. really does have something wrong with them.

I won't even date someone with the same political views as mine. ... But that's mainly because I'm already happily married and if I started dating someone she would probably get a bit upset, and that would ruin my night's sleep.

It depends on how opposing or radical their opinions are. I’m always up for a friendly debate, but at some point, extremely opposing political opinions, especially ones that idolize trump, are juts a red flag.

It's good to have somebody to talk to with a little different perspective. Now that being a manhandle is a political perspective, it's best to avoid certain strong ideologies.
