@evan Maybe I should start. Seems like a good way for people to get to know me.

Bodily problems can accumilate. Like many, I like my body, but it only gets older....
The expendability of your body is like the expendability of a car. You never intend for it to last forever, but you still avoid dents and even scratches. It will last longer if you treat it well, though it can suddenly get destroyed in a catastrophe.

Now I look at it, I think the reason I prefer #Mastodon to #Threads is that average Joes are basically invisible on the latter: almost every recommended post I get is from an ‘influencer’ or ‘celebrity’.

At least here the majority of posts in topics I care about are by regular people sharing their interests and having fun.
