personal thread. When the lockdowns were first enacted, and the Free State of Bavaria did all it could to forbid me from working, I had this idea I‘d train my ass off. Get back up to 130+km/ week, fine tune my diet, maybe even win some local races when things opened up.
Well, things didn‘t open up. But Bavaria still didn‘t want me to work. Also, weirdly, it turns out athletic motivation and social interaction (for me at least) are intertwined, so 2+ hours a day of hard running never happened. It’s been a year of enforced idleness.
I‘ve never trained so little in my adult past, as I‘ve trained under the forever lockdown. Less than 100km of running a week would’ve been unthinkable. I‘ve gotten unfit, but also the idleness has clouded my mind. In December I decided to address this.
I thought I would take up lock picking. This is enjoyable, but a) I’m just not very good at it, and b) It‘s a hobby, and I was trying to fill 40+ hours a week.
This brings me to the point of this thread. If you‘re like me, and looking for something to do, I recommend watchmaking.
It’s immediately interesting, and after a few 40-hour weeks, you’ll be skilled enough to disassemble and reassemble a pocket watch. There are substantial expenses, but they’re not crazy, and so far, it’s been worth it for me at least .
They are like magical little insects, the watch movements. They have 8-bit souls. You disassemble them, clean them, discover the broken parts, and embark upon crazy ebay journeys to find the transplant organs they need to live again.
watch movements are intensely aesthetic things, which is one reason I recommend this occupation. They demand precision engineering and cleverness, but also the best movements are beautiful. Thus the best are made in francophone Switzerland
Yes exactly, and somewhat revoltingly many report that attention to personal hygiene declines drastically also. All part of the same phenomenon. We are social animals and forced isolation is disastrous for us.
And the lockdowners knows this perfectly well. They just hate normal people.
The powers that be don't want you to be fit. They don't want you to be strong. They don't want you to eat meat. You'll be most convenient if you have the testosterone of a 10 year old girl. I'm talking about the World Economic Forum 2030 agenda. The Great Reset.
