Most of us here are knowledge workers (I assume). Do you feel the need to pick up a hobby that is more physical? I do! I enjoy carpentry and general DIY work at home.
How about you? Any labor intensive hobby you enjoy?

I like to work on my muscles. My legs, my arms, maybe even use a bit on my back.

That’s why everyday, I try hard to stand up from my office chair to my couch, and occasionally from couch to the kitchen. Best hobby I picked up from wfh

I have a small farm. I enjoy putting my headphones on and doing work early in the morning. It is good exercise, clears my mind and I have my own meat, egg and milk supply.

All our boy friends in common keep telling me that he has a crush on me but yesterday when we were hanging out with some friends and they asked him about his crush he said " I don't know I think maybe I liked a boy instead of a girl". That made me confused is there something wrong I'm doing? Does he think I'm boyish or is that a common teasing technique ?

Hi all I need to vent. I’ve recently moved into a new apartment and from the beginning it was a nightmare (place wasn’t properly cleaned, person upstairs is ridiculously loud) I’m paying more than the average rent for the area (almost $3k after paying for parking and other fees) where average rent in this area is like 1800-2000 max.
