I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to sacrifice a lot of my freedom to prevent unhealthy or old people to die. You could tell me that I'm wrong, but as far as I know, I'm the only one able to know how I want to live my life
- ItsAlwaysMe 6y agoWhat about their freedoms? You're a spoiled brat. Me, me, me, me, me! All about me!
- jason0597 6y agoWhat do you have a problem with, mask wearing or social distancing? Or the lockdown?
- polote 6y agoClosing the gyms has always been the worst thing to me. Do anything you want but don't close the gym
- ItsAlwaysMe 6y agoMost fit poeple I know are still working out. Then again, they actually are fit, not pretending to be such at a gym.
- richardknop 6y agoThis is uncalled for. Lot of exercises cannot be done at home without required equipment unless you are a Hollywood actor and have a huge mansion with private gym and equipment. Think of weight lifting, power lifting etc. Impossible to do at home for most people (meaning not rich 0.1%).
- projektfu 6y agoPowerlifting can’t be done at home? That’s strange, almost all of r/formcheck seems to be in home gyms. Power rack: $300-500 Weights: $200-800 Bench: $100 Bar: $75-100 Plywood and rubber: $40-100 max
- richardknop 6y agoYou are assuming you have spare room for this equipment (ignoring that the prices you quoted are quite high and actually it costs more for serious equipment if you want realistic weights of 200-300 pounds which is not even that heavy). I rent a room in downtown of a big city and I simply don't have space for equipment (my room is mostly just bed with small kitchen and bathroom). Don't assume everybody is rich and owns a house with spare room / garage where you can put equipment. I am 30+ years old and never lived in a place where I would have spare space for gym equipment. You must be very privileged if you have that (top 1% at least). Thanks for downvote though.
- burgerboy 6y agoYou are your own problem
- projektfu 6y agoI didn’t downvote you. (I don’t downvote if it’s worth commenting.) If I had to guess, people downvoted the hyperbolic nature of your comment. Lifting is clearly a middle class activity. If it’s too expensive for a working software developer, then they have other priorities, which is fine.
- richardknop 6y agoAnd by the way I looked at that reddit and almost all posts are from the gym, to do any of those exercises (seriously, I mean normal weight like 200-300 pounds for squats or deadlift) at home you must be very rich and have a large house with basically a private gym.

- imtringued 6y agoWithout a gym I'm not going to work out at all. Gyms are for people who don't get enough exercise in their daily life.

- obmelvin 6y agoThat's the thing though...You don't need to lock yourself inside, just wear a damn mask when you go do your stuff. For example, I wear a mask to go run on the boardwalk because I like running there. It honestly takes 0 effort to wear the mask and I get to do what I want. Sure, you can be selfish, but you're also negatively impacting society and saying that you don't care. You do you, but I don't get it.
- polote 6y agoI'm not against wearing a mask, but I'm against closing the gyms
- obmelvin 6y agoI do think it's best if we are able to do certain things with appropriate precautions (masks inside, things outside when possible, etc). Sorry if I was a bit harsh - had someone yell "America" at me while running with a mask the other day but I shouldn't project that frustration onto others.
- burgerboy 6y agoKill yourself
- michaelmrose 6y agoIf a gym can't be open and avoid killing people who don't actually use the gym then it can't be open. Classic example of your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.
- failuser 6y agoThis can be put on a T-shirt and used as effective anti-American propaganda.
- p1necone 6y agoOh come on. How is just wearing a mask or working out at home during a global pandemic that's literally killing millions "sacrificing a lot of my freedom". You're selfish, and kids in history classes are going to look back on people like you forever and question why people were so selfish and stupid.
- matz1 6y agoLikewise, wanting other people to sacrifice their interest againts your interest is selfish too.
- hajwh 6y ago>literally killing millions If you're going to attack others for their alleged ignorance maybe you should get basic numbers right? Covid hasn't killed 'millions', it hasn't even killed one million people. You're off by at least an order of magnitude.
- thebruce87m 6y agoWell, we’re at 800k “official” numbers, but when looking at excess deaths for countries with data available vs official numbers nearly all are undercounting the COVID deaths, or at least were at some point. There can be many reasons for this, such as the testing capacity at the beginning of the outbreak but I would definitely say we are over 1 Million.

You could tell me that I'm wrong, but as far as I know, I'm the only one able to know how I want to live my life The problem is that you are effectively deciding how others live their lives through your careless actions. Everyone should have a say on how they want to live their lives, not just you.
