      It’s like when ‘influencers’ push a certain touristy destination. That place goes from quaint and peaceful, to literal hell on earth, people destroying stuff, not paying attention, over crowded, garbage everywhere…same thing happens at the gym…people who dedicate their time to ensuring they stay healthy get pushed out by people filming themselves, people standing around talking about dumb crap, using all the machines improperly and taking up all the parking space because a group of 4 can’t carpool…fads ruin things

        Also theres nothing worse than a crowded lane-swimming pool with casuals when you’re trying to get a proper workout in. I never get mad about it, I understand why everyone is there and glad they’re making an effort but theres rules that need to be followed.

      Literally never said that but I’ve been swimming for 4 years at that place now. I have seen 0 people from the new year’s wave actually stick around. They all think a new number on the date changes things but it doesn’t, it never gets easier or harder, it’s about you yourself changing and that has no specific date to happen.

          OC literally talking about stopping doing the thing they do to get in shape, because of other people being dicks. You attempting to defend those people’s actions, as though OC—the one who is aware of etiquette so all can enjoy—is somehow the one who’s against people getting in shape.

          You have defended the baddies by using the good guy’s point, entirely too focused on gaslighting with it to realise. This, ironically supporting behaviours that stop people from exercising.
