There was a thread on here recently about the Trades Industry, and many people warned that even though you are up and using your body, not looking at a screen 8hours a day, there are still back injuries etc related to that mobile profession.

- Kluny 9y agoI guess living kills you. We should all try to be more like Jeanne Calment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment She was well educated in France with a liberal arts degree, married well and never had to work, went mountaineering with her husband on holidays, hosted German soliders during the second world war but didn't mind it very much, spent her mornings in prayer, had an elaborate skincare routine, smoked, drank, ate lots of chocolate and rode her bicycle every day right up until the end at age 122. Basically, fuck working.
