    A co-worker was like this a few years ago. He was arguing that the gym had AC and was always at the same temperature; that outside was too hot/cold/rainy/snowy, never perfect.

    He is also the type of person that wants to look and act like Rambo and couldn’t see the irony in wanting a perfect pampered environment.

    But the pandemic came and the gyms closed for months so he started running outside, and never went back to running in a gym.

    It’s just that sadly people are used to drive everywhere for everything. And this is unfortunately more political than one might think.

      Yeah, I’m seeing that now. I posted it from the perspective of an apparent ironic laziness, but it can easily be expanded to a systemic issue. My b! Down vote the post so it goes away!!

        Bah, no worries. I was doom scrolling and didn’t know this community existed before I replied. Pretty much anything can be political if we dig deep enough. I also didn’t need to point it out.
