    I am looking to build myself up by this time next year so I can go mountain hiking.

    Do a little bit every day. Each day try to increase your time. As other people have said, do inclines, faster walking, use a heavy backpack, etc. Build up to it.

    Test Frustration

    Are these tests online? If so I'd take them with a very large proverbial grain of salt, as they are not meant to be diagnostic.

    Remote workers, represent!

    Nice setup! I do work at home sometimes but not often. So much of my work is clinical and requires me being physically present.

    Too private

    I don't think I have that problem, mostly I understand that people ask these questions to try to find something in common with me/something they can connect with. Although yeah, sometimes they can get a bit intrusive - like how much I make is no one's business. I think the questions that bother...

    Tony your entire personality is anger. You gotta realize at some level that it's off-putting to others. They see you acting oddly so they avoid you. You're a walking safety hazard.

    New app telling which men to avoid

    I think it's just easier these days to meet people in real life. Apps are clearly not the way to go. They may have had their heyday but they are compromised now.

    Comedy

    I have a very dark and dry sense of humor. I also laugh at absurdist humor. The last thing that made me laugh out loud was this safety training video made by this guy in Australia. I threatened my work that I was going to make our training videos like this.

    I find my life has no point currently.

    Nobody's life has a point. You have to make your own point. I'm slagging along myself right now. I hate summer, I'm dealing with constant insomnia, tired all the time, grouchy, nothing to look forward to, etc. I have to find things to get some serotonin in my brain. I went for a walk at the...

    First Interview In Healthcare

    I have been in the role of hiring manager a few times. A few things come to mind: You will be asked if you have any issues with the job description. I looked at the job description (patient escort/transporter) at our facility. We require the applicant to be able to lift/carry/push/pull a max...

    Science versus religion and the creation story your thoughts

    I think I'm the only militant atheist in my family. The rest of my family are casual theists - I think it's more comfortable socially for them to just believe and go along with the crowd. I don't care enough to worry about what they think.

    Science versus religion and the creation story your thoughts

    Yeah I've read a bit on Godel's ontological proof of god and ... sorry I don't buy it. It's a mathematical argument used to attempt to prove the existence of a supreme being. He grew up with religion. Religion is a lot like an accent. You never completely lose it.

    Science versus religion and the creation story your thoughts

    Nope. I don't believe in any gods. The planet is far older than any human being can comprehend and life has evolved over a VERY VERY long time. (using two "very" doesn't even come close to how old the planet is). Human beings created stories and myths to explain their surroundings. These myths...

    I am morbidly obese currently.

    You can do that eventually. The thing to work on now is calorie reduction and maybe a low impact exercise. Walking is good for that. Start small and build up.

    I am morbidly obese currently.

    It's fine. Start where you are. Do what you can with what you have. Do it slowly and it's more likely to stay off. Also gives your skin a chance to bounce back. You got this.
