Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

    There is no stereotypical or average person in any country. It takes a lot of delusional discrimination to pretend there ever could be.

      If you mean that the average person doesn’t exist in real life then you’re correct, but to claim that what is statistically average cannot be determined, then that’s just a bunch of nonsense.

    I haven’t posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.

    Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don’t consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.

    I’m a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.

    I’m tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.

      What kind of old equipment videos do you watch? I found that I like old computers after watching Dave Plummer’s pdp11 video’s

    • I don’t wear plaid or denim
    • I’m not a lumberjack
    • I’m not wearing a toque (right now)
    • I don’t have a (full) beard
    • I don’t play hockey (anymore)

    I should probably change my username and avatar.

    USA here.

    1. Indifferent to sports. Football, baseball, and basketball are at best insipid. Hockey is at least somewhat interesting, but that’s only because my youngest plays. Even then, I do not follow it.

    2. Don’t care about guns. Yes, I can shoot. It pissed my right-wingnut, Kyle Shittenhouse worshiping brother off to no end, when I could out shoot him, with his own guns. Did I mention he has 6 years in the Army and practiced with his weapons at least once a week? It took me maybe 10 shots of practice to start being more accurate. My vision is worse than his too. Still have no interest in owning one. I keep a Claymore next to my bed for social occasions at home.

    I’m the type of person who gives money back to a cashier when they make a mistake by incorrectly giving me more money, that’s very rare in the country where I was born.

    No credit debt. No drug/alc addictions… Can run 20k+ without stopping. Care about my digital privacy. Never put so much as a scratch on a single vehicle in my life (including forklifts and non-road vehicles). Know how to sail. Couldn’t care less about team sports.

        Incremental training. I started with Couch-to-5K. Highly recommend. Once you complete that program, increment weekly distance by no more than 10% per week until you reach your goal.

          It’s funny, I used that program several years ago when I didn’t exercise at all. Currently running around 9km, three times a week.

          I have this unrealistic dream to run the marathon but I feel like even if I could physically do it, I’d get bored. Half marathon seems doable, though.

        Well, generally speaking the easiest way to do that is to stop only once you’re past the 20k mark.

          Have you tried this “not stopping” technique yourself? Sounds like snake oil, to be honest…

            Not stopping would require me to actually start first. I haven’t gotten that far yet. Seems to be the difficult part.

              I feel like the first week is actually the hardest. Then I start getting excited when I improve my times or distance and it becomes so much easier.

              My problem is that vacations and winter really ruin my motivation. Who wants to run for an hour when it’s pouring rain or freezing outside?

    I grew up in two different countries. Eventually moved back to the one with better healthcare since I’m dealing with a few old injuries. Over here, people tend to be somewhat distant and I’m quite the opposite. Always chatty, always outgoing.

    • I monitor my personal finances carefully and try living well below my means
    • I have effectively no social media presence
    • I do childish things when out in the woods by myself such as play with puddles, make streams and larp a soldier with my outfits / gear
    • My wardrobe is a bunch of near identical clothes. I basically wear the same thing every day. When I need a clean shirt I grab the one from the top of the pile.
    • I eat once in the morning and again around 10pm. I also skip dinner a few times a week because I can’t be bothered to cook
    • I leave most of my lawn uncut. From the street my house looks abandoned.
    • I carry a folding knife with me always
    • I intentionally avoid trends
    • I don’t lie, not even white lies. I might not speak the whole truth but I never say something that’s untrue.
