I mean, they do fit a car if you don’t mind only having a 1/2” clearance between the curbs. It’s pretty much a car lane with a line down the middle and those bars that can fold down, but lock in the middle to stop cars from entering.

Not sure I’ve ever seen an emergency vehicle in one.

Huh. My city invested in bike-lane sized snow plows and sweepers when they installed the lanes and they’re great!

In the end it doesn’t really matter

I struggle with depression and choose to deal with it without medication. I have a loose mental health routine… more like a list of things to do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

Daily:

Shower

Eat

Spend a minimum of ten minutes cleaning my space.

If not working, spend at least 20 minutes outside; preferably doing some kind of exercise, but just chillin’ is ok too.

Weekly:

Attend some kind of social event. Doesn’t mean anything huge. I got in to D&D and that takes care of that one most weeks. Regular social activity is important.

Monthly:

Clean the bathroom! (Preferably bi-weekly)

This is not a complete list of things I do to help my mental health, but they’re the ones I force myself to do even if I don’t want to. It helps.

I also follow a general guideline I learned in therapy. Keep track of things you’re doing and put them in to one of three categories: professional development, self care, recreation.

The goal is to spend your waking hours doing these things evenly. (I suppose sleeping counts as self care in the right situation)

I’m a former addict. Been clean for 4 years now. I learned these things in recovery and the whole time I thought to myself “This should be a high school course. You don’t need to be an Addict to benefit from this stuff.”

Anyway, these things truly help me and I hope they can help you too.

I say S Korea should go take out Kim Jong Un while the north’s army is off getting killed in Ukraine.

Oh wow. I just stumbled on this community and am now stoked!

I’m so tired of text on every picture. Just let things be funny!

Pokémon Go should make all polling locations a bonus Gym or whatever on voting day.

I dunno I don’t play it.

At first I was like “Wow that far away?”

Then I was like “Wait Doomsday is coming that soon??”

Just have the screen go black at a sex scene.

“Pause here, go watch your favourite porn vid and come back. That’s what just happened.”

A choose your own adventure!

Not this one, but they’ve destroyed others under the same “suspicions”

Whoa, SkyNet doesn’t need terminators. It can just bully us in to killing ourselves.
