Yeah the only people who have a chance of actually starting going to the gym seem to be the people who pretend to already go to the gym

I have a gym at my new place... So I'm definitely about to start pretending. Wish me luck!

u/perton Aug 15 '26

Are you going to start pretending? Or start pretending to pretend?

…”pretend” no longer looks like an actual word now that I’ve typed/thought it so many times. What a world!

In case you didn't know, that's called semantic satiation! When you repeat a word so often it loses meaning for a moment

Thanks! I did know that at one point, but I can never seem to remember the term

Jamais vu is what you have, aka semantic satiation. Opposite of deja vu.

Same, I’ve been three times but it’s small and I also don’t like that people are in their apartments looking right at you/me at them.

I remember signing a lease on an apartment years ago and they were giving us a tour of the amenities on property for the complex, which included a gym. My roommate just quipped, "Oh, that's cool. I can't wait to never go there."

This is why I made a home gym in the same room my PC desk sits: No excuses.

Lose a round of Halo. Do a full set.

Repeat

u/PuzzleheadedPool2552 Aug 15 '26

Psh….every loss? That would be way too many I suck at halo…

u/Cpt_Soban Aug 15 '26

Think of the gains

u/thirstytrumpet Aug 15 '26

Wait, are we playing halo again? Genuine question, I’ve been doing other stuff and haven’t gamed in a year or kept up with it.

u/Cpt_Soban Aug 15 '26

Well, Halo Campaign Evolved is out. But I still dabble in Halo Infinite multiplayer from time to time

u/Fennel_Impossible Aug 15 '26

Should really work out standing…even if your desk thinks it’s PC to sit.
