Women as well, I had a relative die of (maybe curable) breast cancer, who had avoided screenings because she was scared they'd turn out positive. Yeah. To be honest, I am not much better, I should get some check-ups done.

But are your legs OK?
Yeah, sure, but: that is still 1h spent doing things to distract you from an environment you don’t want to be in
I define "free time" as "time where I am able to do whatever comes to my mind, within reason". I cannot scratch my ass in a commuter train, I cannot decide to be alone, I cannot decide to meet a friend while commuting, I cannot play sports in a car, I cannot decide to take a nap on the highway, and so on and so forth.
Therefore, commuting time is not free time. It is time where I am not 100% occupied with some task, true, but tbh I could describe a lot of work days in the same way.
I mean, that is just the US having almost 1/3 the population density of Europe. Given the amount of large cities in the US, there are just very large empty spaces where nobody really does stuff.
If I am not intentionally hurrying up, getting some caffeine into me, waiting for it to kick in, showering, dressing, and performing all these little maintenance things a body needs to continue functioning and look presentable takes about an hour, yes.
that 1hr commute can be audiobooks
Yeah, sure, but: that is still 1h spent doing things to distract you from an environment you don't want to be in
Edit: apparently my first sentence was not clear enough: Sure, I could hurry up. But I don't want to. I enjoy not having to hurry every waking moment of my life. Making, drinking and enjoying a coffee is one of those things that keep me from ending up in a padded cell.
As long as we get to pick our tribes, realize that it is all good-spirited tribalism and banter, and are able to tolerate if people pick a different tribe, I'm cool with it. Hell yeah, brother 🤘
Man, the "damn, I know that's difficult" is strong in every sport. I can appreciate a sport so much more if I did it myself, even just a few months. Fencing? No idea, people waving some sticks around. ~~Soccer~~ football? Sick volley shot, man, I saw a mate to the same thing back in 2006...
You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.
Hey, everything in moderation, including moderation
That looks very unhealthy. I want it.

I kind of thought of him as a high-functioning psychopath with some autistic tendencies. He does not really care about the consequences of his actions, and derives his meaning in life from doing a good job only. If that includes helping people, nice, if not, oh well.
