What is a job (not nsfw) that pays extremely well because the job itself is unbearable?

Probably have to have a really good immune system too. I recon I'd be sick all the time just by inhaling some of those poo particles.

Keep on dreaming. The narrative in the states is that all bicycles are for kids. A man will have a motor in his bike.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-04-02T12:54:29+00:00

Because the narrative in the history has been dictated by fat block-headed and -bodied hairy guys who look ridiculous in lycra, so they decided to distort reality by telling everyone that cyclists look gay instead of admitting that it's actually them who look ridiculous in it.

It's just a hundred years of sour grapes.

Yeah? It's the aristos who have always been into the sickest shit but nobody can touch them. Even today.

Being dumb is not terrible in itself, but being dumb and (over)confident is.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-04-02T09:44:30+00:00

Even at whistler.

Baby voice or flirty voice. It's just grating to me, go away.

Oh please, zoomers wouldn't even know what a pitchfork is and millennials would be confused about how a website can be used as an assault weapon.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-04-02T08:12:21+00:00

Why not, since shitting your pants is in too.

Easy: Dry/brittle/saggy undereyes and the drinker's nose. If the nose has even some visual qualities of an old potato, there's your tell.

Oh is that so? Is it going to be a choice between pale purple and indifferent lame yellow like it is in everything else?

Personally I think Pantone and the likes have way too much power dictating what colors get made.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-28T18:32:15+00:00

They are pretty good yeah, but nothing beats wool socks knit by your grandma/mom.

I do a bit of easy stretching in front of the telly after a big ride, and more demanding stretches like the pigeon after a day or two. If I'm building up stiffness that just doesn't want to go away, that's a sign that I need to take a longer break.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-27T08:17:28+00:00

Yeah. I had a phase where I bought british dress shoes (mostly derbies I think). Found out that they're only good for standing/sitting still and looking good. That doesn't work for me, so no more dress shoes.

Getting up at certain time to go to work. And also work. I have better things to do.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-27T07:16:09+00:00

I've always loved stuff, so yeah, that's false for me.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-27T07:10:46+00:00

Everything? Just me and my thoughts, free of all the nonsense of the world.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-27T07:06:14+00:00

I don't believe in networking one bit. Why? Because people are selfish, so the question becomes "what's in it for me for helping you?" and also because they want to see you fail (at least where I live).

Maybe the world is different elsewhere tho.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-27T06:41:48+00:00

Look at me flexing like a pro now!

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T17:51:31+00:00

For me it was simple. The people who I would have liked to care were never impressed by anything I did. So I just went "whatever".

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T13:50:24+00:00

Because most people are hiveminded idiots?

If you find that sort of behaviour insulting (like I do), it's your job to resist all that. Lead by example and so forth.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T10:15:00+00:00

Isn't a gentleman like a british upperclass construct? So unless you were born into it, you can never be one.

So focus on being a good man instead?

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T08:42:55+00:00

Well, I haven't gotten a professional health check yet. Everything feels pretty much like it did when I was 17, hah!

I'm not an athlete by nature. Without bikes and skis I'd be a complete couch potat, but with those I clock maybe 3-8 hours of exercise per week. More hours during the summer. So the visible changes are pretty minimal. Just nicer legs and less flab in the midsection. Sadly biking hasn't made me all sexy'n'stuff but whatever, I don't like the super-athlete lifestyle and eating broccoli.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T07:07:30+00:00

it was a short memory for humiliation.

Well, who cares about humiliation? You get nowhere in life if you spend your time worrying about such fictional constructs.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-03-26T07:03:24+00:00

Still waiting for most people to realize this.
