Forget about the toxic women trying to accuse men for attention. I'm talking about the women who really go to the gym to workout. I have noticed an increase in these women. Also, they are not just doing some cardio bunny workout. They are actually challenging themselves. I love seeing it.

I saw 3 women at the gym doing some very impressive lifts. When I noticed the weight they were putting on, I noticed two of them were stronger than me. And the best part is, they did not look like she hulks. These ladies were actually pretty attractive.

Sorry for the ramble. I actually think one of these ladies is cute. I want to ask her out if the opportunity arises. But anyways, what are your thoughts?

For those unaware Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression. It happens during certain seasons of the year—most often fall or winter. It is thought that shorter days and less daylight may trigger a chemical change in the brain leading to symptoms of depression.

Melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, also has been linked to SAD. The body naturally makes more melatonin when it's dark. So, when the days are shorter and darker, more melatonin is made.

There are two types of SAD:

Fall-onset. This is also called "winter depression." Symptoms of depression begin in the late fall to early winter months and ease during the summer months.

Spring-onset. This is also called "summer depression." Symptoms of depression begin in late spring to early summer. This type is much less common.

I been walking a lot more as part of my daily morning routine. definitely wakes me up better i have found haha.

I am 186 cm tall and have weighed about 80 kg my entire adult life. In the last year, I have gained 15kg. Since I have no hope of having sex, why shouldn't I become far and jolly?

Hopefully not reminding you of a certain common prison joke...

One sign of good health is your sense of balance, which can be easily tested by standing on one leg. Researchers say the ability to stand on one leg for at least 10 seconds can be an indicator of your overall health.

So... how long can you stand on one leg?

Please select your answer in the poll below, and feel free to leave a comment.

FYI, I can stand on one leg for about 5 minutes.

If this made polio go extinct why did we move to needles?

I really don't have that many bad habits. So wondered if I should take up one... and which?

I had to give up cookies and ice cream due to "weight"... ugh..

What bad habit are you planning to take up?

I believe so, I don't believe humans should rate other humans in a scale when it comes to physical appearance, I believe it's got negative effects to people's mental health, putting their appearance on a scale can make them feel stuck, make them feel bad or make them feel like that's their value in the form of a number or a percentage, I believe this is one of the many ways people seek validation and I think maybe it's partially to blame for the way society is now and why everyone is always seeking for validation when it comes to their appearance, don't get me wrong I'm not blind to the existence of physical health and the ability of weight changing someone's appearance but isn't putting it on a scale somewhat unnecessary? It's one thing to tell someone they aren't physically attractive because they are carrying extra pounds for example and then compare it to putting them on a scale and calling them a 1/10 because they have extra weight, at that point isn't it possible to cause a psychological effect to the point they just feel ugly in general? Then they can grow a mental disorder like anorexia, what are y'all opinions on the rating scale? Is it effective in society? If you believe so, negatively effective or positively effective? 🤔

My family doctor got the receptionist of his office/clinic to email me the document needed to do a blood and urinal tests. Sadly my home printer doesn't fucking work because its drivers are corrupted somehow, and I tried to print from both my laptop (Acer Nitro 5 2019) and phone (Samsung Galaxy A34 5G). On the weekend, they close in the afternoon instead of the evening and my dad isn't here right now to help me fix this crap; I tried restarting my laptop, updating Windows 10, and even un/re-installed the drivers.

I attempted to add the printer manually via the Acrobat Reader app for my phone, but it couldn't detect it, nor did it be recognized when I allowed for direct wi-fi printing (I've also tried directly connecting the printer to my laptop via USB). I tried to print directly in the browser and through the Adobe software for both my laptop and phone, and none of them could detect the printer - by the way, my family printer is Xerox WorkCentre 6015N1 iirc of the model.

The nearest lab is like 15 minutes away walking and 5 minutes away by bus, so I don't know if I should go there to ask only to be rejected. Please don't tell me to call the lab because I already tried that and their receptionist line is busy, and also they don't have a fax number for me to send directly. The reason for me needing to do a test is because of my bloody stool problems, which my family doctor recommended I do (he also told me he'll refer me to a specialist in colorectal problems).
