So, as long as I don't don't injure myself.... in 37 years of skating....

Are there any other options I could consider? Cause that ship sailed a long time ago :)

Honestly though, while its forced me to change my style of skating, I enjoy it as much now as I ever have. Learning new tricks, getting a solid whole body work out, meeting and hanging out with new people, it's all still there.

I haven't 100% given up on maybe, just maybe, baconreader might start working again.

It's the only way I log in to reddit, and have not been back since the 1st.

In a month or so, I'll log in through the web browser and figure out how to delete my comments and then remove the account.

Happy enough here that I've had no desire to log in to reddit.

47 and I still try to get out to a skatepark at least twice a week.

No idea how long I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to make every session count.

I don't use an e-reader, but I found a long time ago I prefer audio books to physical books.

Its purely a comfort thing. I can read a lot faster than any audio book, but I just have a hard time finding a comfortable position to read a real book.

Also the added benifit of listening in the car, while working, or falling alseep.

The only times I find myself with a physical book is reading technical things like textbooks, or when I'm on a plane.

North burbs right on border of Chicago. Also a fellow reddit refugee. Can't believe how sad I was when baconreader stopped working, and my stubborn ass knew I'd walk away.

So happy to have found Lemmy, and a midwest instance to boot.

Still not sure how all this works, but it does more than fill the need of interesting screen time.

In to skateboarding, snowboarding, motorcycles, gaming.
