Which kinds of pain? As a long distance runner, I have increased my threashold for physical pain and all other sorts of discomfor, so pushing through that kind of pain and other misery definitely paid off.

I like that thought.
If pollution were not an issue, I would visit my sister in New Zealand. I live in the Netherlands.
I would love the Philip Morris board of directors to be Mangioned. You must be a special kind of evil to create mobile devices with the sole purpose of getting kids addicted to nicotine.
I love my double edge razor.s.
I was going to paste the same link. :) Have my upvote instead.
Well, as the ‘characters’ in Friends are all dumb fucks, Ross may have already been the only sentient one. But that ws probably the joke anyway.
Wear comfortable cloths that fit you well.
…and last a long time. I buy relatively expensive clothes, but they last for many years. Fast fashion is not my thing.
My username is called after my first home brewed beer. It’s a portmanteau of a slur used for people of my city and the type of beer I brewed that day.
The Babylon 5 subplot about president Clarke and his regime comes to mind. The scene with the woman of the Ministry of Truth visits Babylon 5 and claims to have sollved problems by rewriting the dictionary does rhyme with certain events in my country.
OP, where do you live? I get thumbs up all the time. Sometimes as a greeting, sometimes as an encouragement (e.g. during a run), sometimes even as a means of communication in traffic.
You alraedy say it yourself in as many words, but we need more community. Where I am from, our country was ‘columnized’ up until the 1970s. You had a catholic ‘column’, a protestant ‘column’ and a socialist ‘column’, each with their own clubs. So you had a catholic football club, a protestant football club and a more public football club simultaneously. The same went for schools, pubs, etc.
For all the good and bad that gave us, people were shoehorned into their own communities (note my explicit use of ‘shoehorned’).
About 50 years ago, our society got ‘decolumnized’ and people got more individualistic. Add to it the rampant neoliberalism of the latest decades and well here we are: people do not know how to find each other anymore. I notice that many yourger people have similar questions like yours.
Do we need religion as in something to believe in or to have faith in? Possibly? However, I do not know what to believe in to be honest. Progress? Not going to live to see that anymore. It will get very ugly very soon. Maybe my kids will see things get better / more enligtened/ etc, but only after getting screwed over for a few decades I fear.
I do think that religion is not the answer. Men running around in dresses trying to force the ideas of mistranslated books written by goat herders several thousands of years ago are not to be taken seriously.
I like the way you think. Take my upvote.
I am not sure about kitty litter, but I swear by Numatic, known for the Henry model. Due to its design, it will not lose suction power as much as regular vacuum cleaners as the dust bag fills up. It is extremely repairable and it has great reach (long cable, long hose).
