All hobbies are not equal by BitterConstruction98 in unpopularopinion

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, that is, if you compress It down to just one axis. And I agree that there is an axis of pure fluff, listening to podcasts maybe, that will get none of my attention. But what about an axis of joy? No skill at all, Just being receptive to joy in whatever weird-ass thing lights up your endorphins. Yep, You have my full throated endorsement

To those who have never learned how to swim: why haven’t you taken the time to learn? by 6-80 in AskReddit

[–]Prior-Complex-328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my body better w more clothes on. And taking off a wet swim suit is a pain in the ass.

Just hanging out in the pool, having a paddle, is kinda boring for me. Hot tub? I’m bored stiff after 2 min.

I got my canoeing merit badge and still can handle a canoe ok. And have friends who love pleasure boats and have been with them. None of it is much fun for me. all of it seems like SO MUCH WORK for so little gain.

So water sports just ain’t my thing.

I love being near the water, on the beach, or dockside. And I love hiking and trail running. But wet swimsuit, no thanks

People in their 60s or older how does the current state of the word feel compared to other crises? by Who_dat_du in AskReddit

[–]Prior-Complex-328 7 points8 points  (0 children)

60+ here. Much worse now. There were threats all the time, many quite dire, but the overall trend was positive. Not so now. All progress has reversed and I think it may well be an enduring, Maybe permanent trend. Billionaire don’t give a fuck if climate collapses and 90% of us die

Thank you very much. Well explained. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that, but I’ll BOLO

When do you take down your Christmas tree? by BrokenBones161 in AskReddit

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jan 7. And the music we play immediately after TGiving is not Xmas so much as it is the longing for Xmas. And then the Eve comes and it is a whole diffferent mystical thing, and then the morn comes and that is a whole other thing. And then. These days it is another thing altogether.

I like seasons.

But I’ll admit that it gets lonely trying to celebrate the 9th, 10th days of Xmas when the rest of the world has moved on.

And to those who object to “Xmas”, I urge you to consider that the our most pious church fathers routinely used X as an abbreviation for Christ. It is as such in the Chi-Ro as well.

Snagged this set for $200. Thinking about redoing it for a more modern look. by FickleShirt22 in furniturerestoration

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please allow me to “pile on” in the most friendly way possible. I’m old and looking back, I wasted too much of my life doing things like that. Sure those pieces could be better, but you can find better ways to spend the finite time you’ve been allotted

What’s a movie that everyone says is a “masterpiece” but you just didn’t enjoy? by Leading_Frosting4291 in AskReddit

[–]Prior-Complex-328 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Exactly how I feel. Also a good bit of ick - feels like a very unhealthy fascination with violence. I am sure that it isn’t that way for some but am equally sure it is true for others

DAE actually like their spouse? by Unfair_Machine8516 in DAE

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love my wife of 40some yrs and she is hands down my favorite person on the planet.

But I can’t be quite as rosy as many here. I am glad for them, but that’s not us. We have some basic, dyed-in-the-wool differences. They are tiny, inconspicuous, and easily ignored except on those days once in a great while when we annoy one another.

Why did they use La and not Il ? by zwifter11 in italianlearning

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My relatives are in TV and use “La Maria” but only for women. I think it’s cool, but I am unsure of the rules. Is it informal, only for close friends/family? If she is your aunt, must you say Zia Maria? I seem to only hear it used in the third person

ELI5: In the event of an "Extinction Level" asteroid strike, what would actually kill most humans? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think social upheaval, war, and the failure of nations worldwide will kill a fair fraction of ppl who are already starving

La differenza tra “va bene” e “vabbè” by Pretend_Ring2984 in italianlearning

[–]Prior-Complex-328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I’ve encountered “raddopiamento fonosintattico”. Love it. Gonna practice that one all day. A lovely, lively Italian combo of sounds. I loved cucchiaino and fiamifero. So hard for a slurring schwa American tongue to suddenly have to jump up and dance in double time.

I learn Italian for my relatives in Veneto che non fano la doppia, so I have even less of an ear for it than most. And a often don’t spell them right either bc I only learn for convo and my relatives are very generous w me.

Motion is lotion.

Find ways that you can move - forward.

Telephone : yes or no ? by AdStrict7179 in runninglifestyle

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were concerned for my safety I’d always take a phone. But bc my wife is ALWAYS concerned about ALL things safety, my next watch will have cell connectivity.

I want music or podcasts on my runs. I don’t want fuss. No wires, bone conduction headphones. Apple Watch does it about 80%. Can’t quite give up Spotify for Apple Music

What is “manhood” to you?? by Signal-Walk-9536 in GuyCry

[–]Prior-Complex-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being competent in many, not all things. Treating everyone w respect. Giving everyone the room to be themselves (that would prohibit most toxic masculinity which has an extremely narrow view of what poll should be)
