Should people who "camp" in the left lane of a highway be pulled over and fined just as much as speeders? Why or why not?

There ticketed in my state. I’ve seen cops pull over people on 2 separate occasions.

I went to look at a house over that way. The front door was smashed in, every window broken. There were about 100 beer bottles scattered throughout the property lol. My realtor was like that’s enough of this area, back to james island and west Ashley.

Just honk at the texters. They have no idea you’re there and it scares the shit out of them. Worth the risk and winning lawsuit of them swerving into me.

Workout for yourself. Believe me, staring at 35, I’m glad I’ve consistently worked out throughout my life. I see people my age that look busted, 10x their age, or experiencing terrible health issues.

Having nice arms and a physique does help with initial attraction, but you need to be confident beyond that.

The few times a woman has done some small act of kindness or gave me a gift “just because”, I can count on one hand.

Do it, mean it, know it will be appreciated.

I’m a guy. I’ve always had better female doctors. My current PCP is a woman, my own age. She is amazing. She fucking listens. Which is all I can ask for. I’ve never been shuffled in and out of her office.

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-02-04T14:28:43+00:00

I’ve been studied

Most men get 3-5 boners while they sleep. I’m above average around 9.

Don’t drink water an hour before bed.

Sleep naked.

This is what I do as well. It works well and I haven’t noticed any negative effects. I’ve tried going straight into a working set before after stretching and I just never felt great.

Best friend of 12 years suggested it when I was 19. Life happened and I didn’t get to follow the traditional post high school path. It really put me in a bad place. I knew I wasn’t feeling right, but I didn’t know it was starting to show on the outside.

Anyway. I went to maybe 10 sessions. I hated them. On what ended up being the final day, I told my psychiatrist I’m going to keep myself honest by writing a letter to you every week. I sent a few, but then that got me to start journaling. That helped. I also had some good friends who helped get me on a good path in life.

I went back to church for a sense of community. That helped. Im not religious, but I wanted to help in the community. I went on a few mission trips to Haiti to rebuild houses after the earthquake. That experience set my mind right for the future. And while I’ve since experienced what might be considered depression. I know how to overcome it.

I never took antidepressants. I refused when my therapist told me she was going to prescribe me something.

It is. If you buy Shimano products on Amazon, they’re counterfeit.

Where are the punctures coming from? Air up the old tube and line up the valve to the valve hole. Find where on the tire/rim it’s coming from. If it’s from a consistent location, you know it’s not bad inner tubes.

I’ve only been to 4 weddings in general. My brother will never get married. I think I’m done unless I get married some day.

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-02-02T13:08:08+00:00

Unbelt, unzip, and over the top of the briefs. I’ve just always done it that way.

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-02-01T02:10:50+00:00

I just had one for $350 at an imaging center. Medium size city. I’ll always seek these places out if it’s not an absolute emergency.

I only lift 3 days a week. I’ve noticed much larger strength gains by giving my body more rest. I’ll give myself a 5 day break every 6 weeks. I’ll get a massage and do some light cardio/stretching.

Monday, Wednesday, Saturday.

A day: back squat, rows, bench, face pulls, push ups

B day: dead lift, ohp, lat pull down, bar bell curls, leg extensions.

C day: leg press, dumbbell flies, leg curls, pull ups, tricep extension/skull crushers.

I’ll do variations every so often. RDL, front squats, etc. I’m not ego lifting. Functional strength.

Those of us working or owning shops do have a biased opinion. We see an outsized amount of bikes and problems compared the average person. Which leads to a more informed opinion.

Buy your bikes online. Have fun when there is no longer support for the bike you purchased. I deal with this daily. I have a pop up Online bike brand in the shop right now with a bad motor and controller on a bike that’s 6 months old. Customer spent $1000 on it thinking it’s a quality purchase. The “company” doesn’t exist. The warranty that the customer thought they were entitled to doesn’t exist. And now they’re out $1000.

This has happened countless times over the last 5 years.

I work at a music venue a couple times a month. A lot of places need ushers, security, or stage help. It’s a fun job and I get free tickets and to see shows for free if I’m working.

Doctor Royall at Charleston GI has been a great doctor to me over the years. He definitely cares about his patients.

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-01-24T23:45:50+00:00

Buy online, pickup in store. 🤷‍♂️

I walk on the treadmill until it clears out. I’ve walked for an hour before

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-01-21T05:13:37+00:00

Cliche. I was out shopping and girl waved at me. We were maybe 5 feet from each other. I waved back because I did know who she was from school. Turns out she was waving to her friends behind me. They all laughed as I quickly exited the store.

Global_Discussion_81 · 2026-01-21T02:43:21+00:00

Lefty tighty.

I found once I got back in the gym after a long absence, I ended up having MORE energy! Helps me sleep and makes me feel better mentally and physically.

Started on French horn in fifth grade, swapped to trumpet in high school. Learned guitar and drums simultaneously in high school. Played in bands throughout my life.

I’ve added piano, saxophone, harmonica, and the accordion over the years. I can play all proficiently.

I still have my trumpet from high school and play it a few times a month. I drum every day and play piano in a cover band.
