1. If you are a descendant of either of these two women, can you do me a favor and cuff their heads together?
Original English title:If you are the offspring of either of these two broads can you do me a favour and cuff them in the head?
Post content summary:When these two walking advertisements for the dangers of Botox injections sparked my anger, I was outside in the construction area building sandcastles for baby seagulls. Given the area I live in, I was already in a bad mood outside. These two people walked in front of my building, not noticing me standing there, because they probably mistook me for an excavator wearing a killer T-shirt, looked around, and then like animals threw garbage and half-eaten food at my damn door. I rang the bell

- OP - were you wearing a black T-shirt? Edit: and tan shorts? I'm asking legitimately. I think I saw you playing in the dirt. Another edit, because Reddit is stupid and won't let me reply: you are indeed a poet laureate. Now I know what you were doing in the dirt... I thought you were posing for a photo with two women. I think I need to get my eyes checked

You can walk through the bush on trails to all the other neighborhoods. You get beautiful outdoor wooded spaces and enjoy basically all the benefits of living in the city. It's very quiet because of the cover around.

We have plenty of vacant land and rundown buildings we can breathe new life into without having to destroy our existing green spaces.

5. Hardcore gym?
Original English title:Gritty gyms?
Post content summary:Hi everyone, I'm moving into town soon and want to sign up for a gym after I move in. Are there any hardcore gyms in town? I've been to commercial gyms like Movati, Planet Fitness, and Fit4Less (old and new), but I haven't explored all the gyms. I like the clanging of metal plates, beat-up benches, and some worn-out sounds. I lift heavy, so the 75 lb dumbbells at PF and F4L are quite limited. I found Unleashed Fighting Fitness, which seems to fit me. Does anyone have
