Luckily that's the case, I work fully remotely.

I spent many months last year in Madeira, Portugal. It is great place–a bit isolated though. Also, a week in northern Spain seemed fine in the summer. I just didn't dig deeper in how to actually relocate there yet.

I'm one of those who had to make the unfortunate jump like your friends to this fabricated concrete jungle.

I don't want to put much negative hate energy into the situation that is already not optimal except monetarily—for now.

I think there might be a better solution back in Europe to build something and live in it. Because here, I don't feel like leaving my house at all. Even though I grew up here before moving to Europe in first place.

I don't the cold and never loved not seeing the sun for good part of the year in Germany, but that wasn't the main reason I had to leave. EU is literally stripping its citizens from their rights and their assets. That I couldn't handle.

🔍 Hard truth incoming: Modern fitness industry is peak clown world. Paying money to lift artificial objects in toxic environments while breathing other people's exhaled air? Let's break down this insanity 🎭

Think about it:

- Fluorescent-lit boxes packed with sweaty humans

- Synthetic flooring releasing toxins

- EMF radiation everywhere

- Air "conditioning" recycling everyone's breath

- Chemical cleaners making it all worse 🤢

The modern gym is absolute madness:

- Lifting metal objects with no purpose

- Running in place going nowhere

- Staring at yourself in mirrors

- Paying monthly for self-torture

- Breathing other people's germs

Natural movement vs Gym nonsense:

- Carrying real things vs lifting fake weights

- Walking outside vs treadmill slavery

- Climbing trees vs cable machines

- Real work vs pointless reps

- Functional vs artificial 🌳

Want real strength?

- Carry heavy groceries

- Chop wood

- Garden

- Build things

- Move naturally

- Do real physical work 🪓

Bodybuilding is even worse:

- Completely unnatural muscle development

- Stressed joints and ligaments

- Artificial movement patterns

- Ego-driven aesthetics

- Zero functional purpose 🤡

The real health stack:

- Eat real food (especially animal based) 🥩

- Walk in nature

- Get sun exposure

- Do meaningful physical work

- Sleep properly

- Live naturally

Your ancestors never:

- Needed gym memberships

- Counted reps and sets

- Used protein powders

- Followed workout plans

- Stressed about "gains"

Think about the toxins:

- Synthetic gym clothes

- Rubber flooring

- Cleaning chemicals

- Air fresheners

- Everyone's deodorants 🏴‍☠️

Want real fitness?

- Build something

- Grow food

- Hunt

- Climb

- Swim

- LIVE

Remember: Every hour in a gym is an hour not spent:

- Developing real skills

- Doing productive work

- Building actual strength

- Living naturally

- Creating value

Wake up. Cancel that gym membership. Start living real life 🔓

I hear you and I would fully agree if the context is a small town where the better alternative activities can be done. For most of today's larger cities–no farmlands, no railroads, no water spaces–the alternative is staying home Netflix & Chill while gaining weight and dying slowly.

Finding a good time where gym is empty, lifting without machines, and doing free exercises helped me not only get in shape but also restored my ability to focus and work.

The ultimate solution however is to move the fuck out of here and live somewhere close to the nature.

I'm trying to agree, but can't. It is a spectrum of these things maybe is what a person can have.

Unless you mean having infinite amount of three of these is not possible, I'm starting to see it right while responding 😁

After 20 and so years, I finally decided to try #dating apps hoping to find the one. Oh well, where I'm staying I'm almost not liking anyone let alone finding someone or the one.

My friends would tell me it is a numbers game, you swipe right as much as possible and you eventually get a few matches some of which become first dates. The thing is that I rarely swipe right. The majority are either models or workaholics at best. Those who want to make families are mostly religious and can't relate to those with different believes.

The texting game is another riddle. I have a match, regardless who initiated it, me or her, we say hi, talk a little, and then time just stops. Asking for an in person meeting worked a couple of times with those living close by. But some want to keep texting, yet they reply every so and so hours–boring and demotivating.
