And while using the gym treadmill you can look outside at people walking around for free.
I used to bike to work at an office building that had a spin class studio on the first floor. I was continually bemused at what fucking idiots those people were, wasting their time driving somewhere in order to waste even more time and money paying to ride a bike, when they could’ve just ridden their bike to wherever they needed to go for free and get their exercise along the way. I don’t care what excuses they use to rationalize it; it makes no damn sense.
From what I know, this is one of the things that make the car-dependency in the US a serious issue
I live in the capital of Norway, and damn near everything here is in walkable distance, and it’s so great. If I go somewhere I either take the public transit and/or walk, which really does add up over time. I can end up walking for many hours each week, which doesn’t feel burdensome or boring, and can effectively replace the treadmill. Then maybe take a few more brisk walks beside the river if I feel like it or something like that, which is nicer than in a gym.
Indeed. I made a similar comment about it, but apparently that wasn’t “accurate”. I guess the “funny” in this community is stemming more from the modlogs than anything else.
Anyone may request a moderator to restore posts and comments. That is a fair availability to everyone. But if something was removed, it was at a best judgement that it broke a site rule or community rule. Your early comment had a key word in it that was not (directly) represented in the image. Rule 1 - going off topic.
Commentor above is related to health which is related to gyms.
Apologies for any confusion.
If you want a service on your terms, you have to host it yourself. Google has to deal with liability and privacy and the fact that they would be the single biggest attack vector for anyone’s online life of compromised.
There are so many sketchy and anti-consumer things that Google is doing. This is not one of them.
Prior to abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOTP setup
So you did this to yourself, and have the audacity to complain.
Yes. Because I don’t want to give Google that information about me any longer. Which is my right and according to you Google is justified in locking me out and demanding that I give them that information to regain access to my account?
People like you fail to see the implications of this. We more and more live in a world where technology rules everything. Soon the CBDCs might take over. And when and if they do, you’re gonna be forced to provide all sorts of information about yourself. Lets hope that you too will be okay with handing over your data just so you can buy groceries. After all, it’s their system, their service. If you don’t like their rules, don’t use it. Right? :)
Well they want to prove who you are because a Google account is the central part of someone’s online life. I’d imagine that binning off all that info quickly looked really suspicious and flagged something on their systems. They can’t just let that slide because of the possible implications, someone might use that email as their bank account login or maybe it’s linked to something really personal.
Is it out of the goodness of their hearts? Hell no, it’s entirely to cover their asses from liability for damages.
The fact that they’re asking for the information in order to compare against for identity verification should tell you that they already have the information.
If you were a fraction as savvy as you seem to think you are, you’d know that deleting your PII from your profile did absolutely nothing in terms of removing it from their systems. Right now you’re whingeing about how upset you are about having to give them a phone number… that they already have.
This would only be discussion-worthy if you had actually removed the information and they were demanding it back. You didn’t and they’re not, they’re verifying the information you gave them to prove your identity using industry standard methods. If it wasn’t for the fact these are getting posted during school hours I’d assume you’re some edgelord teenager…
