- Has so much money he can walk all day without becoming homeless.
Or, they already are homeless.

Meanwhile my knees: AHHHHHHHHH
Not relatable? Just a me problem?
It’s not as bad if you walk ‘off trail’ in cities/suburbs. I’m convinced that a lot of the Runner’s Knees has to do with pounding cardio on hard-packed Earth, asphalt and concrete instead of forested/green areas.
Beach here, my knees don’t hurt no.

What good are legs if you can’t even walk?
I once walked 20 Kilometers, then I was tired, so I walked back.
“Just walking, Mr. Mead?”
“Yes.”
“But you haven’t explained for what purpose.”
“I explained; for air, and to see, and just to walk.”
“Have you done this often?”
“Every night for years.”
The police car sat in the center of the street with its radio throat faintly humming.
“Well, Mr. Mead,” it said.
“Is that all?” he asked politely.
“Yes,” said the voice. “Here.” There was a sigh, a pop. The back door of the police car sprang wide. "Get in.”
“Wait a minute, I haven’t done anything!”
“Get in.”
That was a new one for me, thank you kindly. It’s Bradbury through and through, felt like a companion work to Fahrenheit 451. Can’t decide whether to think of it as a prequel or a sequel…
I do love a good walk.
My two favourite are a beautiful hill/mountain walk in the sun with a light breeze to keep me cool or at night through a sleepy town or village with a light fog where the orange streetlights shine through.
Both are so peaceful, it helps calm my anxiety.
Walks are so good for anxiety - some light exercise, a little bit of sun, time to collect your thoughts without screens or distractions. It’s sort of meditative.
Don’t forget that your odds of finding and petting the roving neighbourhood cats increases as you walk more vs. driving.
Agreed. I can find it hard but I try to not use headphones to listen to music or an audiobook every time I go for a walk. I’m trying to get myself comfortable with my own thoughts and let them wash over me so my brain can eventually calm and relax without distraction.
Just let the walk itself be the gentle stimulation.
My idea of a good walk is weather cool enough to wear jeans and combat boots, and a fight to get through the forest and find new spots on the creek, or new spots in general. Huge bonus if I get some wildlife in my sights. Saw a black bear momma with two cubs last winter!
I’m at maximum peace when I crawl out, safe and sound, about to drop dead and thank god I’m still alive, hydrated, and didn’t get hurt or stuck overnight.
My wife likes your sort of walk, and I would too, now and again. We walk around the hood, far more boring than your walks. :)
We have this guy in our community! All day every day just walks all over. I know nothing about him but he walks and mumbles to himself
I’m that guy, but I stick to the surrounding forests and trails, mumbling to myself, scaring off the animals. Since we humans so rarely encounter one another out there, I suspect I’m something of a goddamned samsquatch.
“Little guy, looks like a tacticool homeless man? Always armed? Crawls up out the woodwork when you don’t expect him? Yeah! I saw him once! Didn’t really seem drunk, but he was waving his beer around and holding forth on the local ecosystems.”
“That’s the guy!”
Everyday
- everyday: mundane, usual
- every day: daily
I think OOP is in the wrong lane.
Til there’s a distinction
AI slop (partly)?
I’m not sure. There’s just no joke. It could be that’s the joke. Or maybe it was made by someone who really likes walking.
And what’s this?
And how the fuck is the text formatted?

Something I just read past, apparently!
No, it’s just not that funny.
Get’s the cops called on him since he is brown, and the cop curb drops him into a hospital.
It’s maybe me I’m a big walker
Even shitposts are too much effort to make by oneself nowadays, huh?
Need AI to do even that.
Not gonna lie, this would be a halfway decent demigod in a fantasy world. Just A Guy who walked so much that he ascended to a higher level of understanding.
I think this is the goal of most true “adventurer” tropes. The moniker is genericized and relates to someone who gets in a lot of fights now, but its original meaning is someone that I picture is eager to explore new lands, with nary a luxury to them, relying on the kindness of people he meets, and exchanging useful tricks and information he’s come across.
Walking zazen.
France was on strike today so I walked to work… I need better shoes for that
