I've been considering it more and more. There's a gym nearish with a pool, and I'm a very strong swimmer, and it's one of the few exercises that isn't physically painful because of my bad back and feet. But for real, I know no one is actually making fun of me or other heavy people in that environment. It's more my own brain narrating the worst possible opinions and applying them to everyone I meet. Which, funnily enough, is me doing to everyone else what I fear they are doing to me: being unkind.

That's precisely why I'm not there. I'm too fat for the gym. There are women and Children present. I'd scar them for life.

ETA:

To clarify: This is not what happens, this is my own self conscious, self loathing behavior giving me excuses for not bettering myself. I am aware of my mental health problems, I'm just not dealing with them.

It really depends on how the rest of their society looks. Think about mining towns, with miners paid in tokens, and spent entirely at the company store.

Yes. But smaller, and with a screen where the keyboard should be, and no bezel between the screens. Media consumption device, not something for any real productivity. Very lightweight, good for watching youtube or hulu, but clamshell so it protects the screen.

Is there somewhere to buy these? I'd love to send them to about 75 relatives.

Same! I had the LG v60 dual screen case, and loved it. Thats the farthest I'm willing to go, though. It was unwieldy, and almost impossible to use a popsocket with, no way to use a wallet case, et cetera. It's not worth that price tag for less options just for the occasional use of a bigger screen.

Now, foldable tablet? That's something I'd be down for (in theory. I am poor.). Closes up small enough for a pocket, folds out when you use it. Only screen on one side, so it can tossed in a bag without worrying about it, because it's closed up and the screen is protected.

Adding them to my list. Thank you so much! :)

Ooh, I'll try it! Thank you. :)

I do like earl grey. I'll try the others. A smokey tea sounds super interesting!

By weak I meant watery, i suppose? The tea I grew up on was my mom's and grandma's southern sweet tea. Loose leaf Tetley tea, added to a cold water, brought to a boil, and steeped for 20 minutes. Add three quarts of cold water, and 2 cups of sugar. I can't drink it that sweet anymore, but that strength of the tea I loved.

What I tend to drink in the realm of hot tea is Twinings Irish breakfast tea, 3 tea bags in about 15ish ounces of water, steeped for 7 minutes. I drink it with some sugar and cream. I've been wanting to branch out into loose leaf, as I've heard the quality and strength is much improved.

Aw, shit, have you tried Reddit?

That's clearly Odo pretending to be O'Brien because the chief was late for his shift.
