I know it's totally possible to satisfy my 'lifestyle' requirements here, don't get me wrong. But it seems that it just takes a lot more effort to do so, or money, or time.

I really want to like living in the city in Canada, but it just makes some things extra difficult compared to how the lifestyles work in other parts of the world.

I see more and more the workaholic lifestyle taking over here, and I just can't stand to be a part of that

I obviously need to put in the effort, but I just don't know where to start. I want to be active (signed up with some buddies to play soccer once a week) but I need more than that.

Then when the work day ends I feel immensely more lazy here as well; I need to find energy and motivation to do things, while back in CR I just got up and did it immediately

I've been back in Canada for about 48 hours now after 7 months in South / Central America.

It's great to be home, but I already see myself falling into old patterns which are quite destructive for me.

Video games during work hours, tobacco intake, spending a ton of $$$, not exercising, etc.

Living in Costa Rica, a good healthy lifestyle comes naturally to me. Fresh food, always outdoors surfing or gardening, going to bed early, etc.

But coming back I just find it so much more difficult.

Fellow Canadians : you gotta listen to The Weakerthans, they are fantastic. They have a song dedicated to how much they hate Winnipeg, it's great.

@nico and we love it so.

@ThatGeoGuy stealing this for dinner tonight! Thanks :)

That's why I keep leaving and then coming back. I enjoy it, but the Twitter style posts just don't fly with me it seems

I really like the Mastodon community, and the web/mobile experience with all the third party options is super high quality.

I think I'm just not a fan of short-form posts like this, and that's why I keep trying Scuttlebutt and other platforms, but they never hit 100% what I'm looking for.

Basically just Mastodon with long-form text, likes and replies. I think that Facebook does that really good to be honest, but could be improved still. Not just a writing only / blog tool though.

@mpjgregoire Hahaha. I put absolutely everything in the freezer here. Anything else is free game come the night time

So I decided to lock myself in my bedroom which is currently the only bug free spot in the house. I've sprayed all the bug spray I've got and I'm really hoping the ants don't get in

I mean covered. One wall is just completely full of ants. Another one has these ridiculous 5 or 6 inch grasshopper things on them. I'm sure there are a few spiders around as well

Currently in Costa Rica. It's great. Except right now. Tropical storm, power keeps flickering on and off, and somehow the dog opened the door and the downstairs of my place is absolutely covered in bugs

Here for my quarterly Mastodon check in

@thurloat How much space did you give it? What's your ID on SSB too!? I'm way more active there than here :)

I love Lima
