“Fun” is subjective. I found much of this material not interesting or fun. Im just replying to you whilst walking my dog, hoping to trigger a raucous debate for the sake of it.

Haha! Nice, I'm replying to this while doing AoC day 22. Let's start the debate! But no, it was not 'that' much fun, especially without the original phrases included (mildly interesting what it is in English, but they missed a lot of nuance, of course, by probably going Google translate -> Google translate or something). But often I see interesting content which is blatant sales/marketing material for a book, SaaS or coaching/consultancy product. I recognise that most things people put a lot of time in are somehow to 'make them money' in some way, especially if that is their job (like evangelists of corps often have very elaborate and interesting articles, videos, etc but they are created with targets in mind).

You found it not interesting you say? In other words, it could oxidize on your anus?

I often see people using their screens while walking their dogs. It bothers me a lot. Isn't this something that is supposed to be done together? The dogs look like they have the feeling that they are a nuisance to their owners, as if the owner is trying to communicate to them that he is forced to walk them. Then there are those owners who interact a lot with their (and other) dogs during the walks, and those dogs have a happy attitude on them, they seem to be more awake.

  I walk my dog twice a day every day (just myself) - sometimes I will be on my phone because twice a day every single day means at some point I'll think of something to google or check on an email or whatever. Do something outside twice a day every day for a year only and report back if you've never pulled out your phone. That being said I do prefer keeping attention on him and enjoying the outside quiet time. I would recommend being less bothered by other people using their phones out in the world though, or you'll be constantly bothered.

    You are right. But I do get outside for at least an hour a day to do sport, everyday. While I don't do calls or google around, I stop for taking photos with my phone. But you are right.

  > The dogs look like they have the feeling that they are a nuisance to their owners, as if the owner is trying to communicate to them that he is forced to walk them. Uh, no. Dogs don't take their owner's phone usage that seriously or personally. They are more opportunistic and free spirited than to get hung up about other people's behaviours. The fact that you interpret things that way probably tells us more about you than it does about dogs. I imagine you are a considerate, thoughtful person (who doesn't know much about dogs).
