Ever biked to work in the winter? Fucking exhilarating. More often than not I'm too warm. Then there's the serenity of riding through a snowfall... man
more like go outside and have your face frozen off while you swim in a sea of snow towards your car
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 05:47:00 on February 26, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
go play outside
"Hey boss, I'm gonna stop my 7 day a week 9 - 5 job to go play in the snow, K?" "Sure thing, boy-o! here, take these wads of cash, this bag of marijuana, and my hot swedish step daughter with you!!" Man wouldn't that be nice. but some of us live in reality
Reality doesn't have the same standards for every single person. Some people don't like winter, and that's okay. I hate driving in snow, and if it does snow, I'm out in it for eight-sixteen hours shoveling for my job. I don't enjoy playing in it, and I especially hate the cold. That's my preference. You love winter. That's your preference. Try not to assume that everyone lives the kind of life and experiences things like you do.
All I'm trying to say is that instead of complaining about something, people should be positive and try to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity to be happy and healthy for 3 months of the year instead of gloomy and and constantly complaining.
45.5% of Redditors are American. If they hate winter so much, wouldn't it be better for them to move south and be happy, rather than be miserable for half the year?
Why should I though? I can bitch about winter, it doesn't mean I'm not happy or unhealthy. I just go to the gym instead of being out in it.
That, and I don't want to move. Moving is expensive, time consuming, complicated, and The South can get really fucking hot over the summer. I love where I am, and I'm not going to move to the south just because of three months of the year. Winter sucks, and that's my opinion. I'm sorry it doesn't match up with yours. I'm not saying you are wrong to love Winter, I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with hating Winter.
I guess I'm just being defensive about it because people here seem to love hating on winter without even trying to go out and take advantage of missed opportunities, and I'm the one who's in the wrong because winter makes me happy and I can't get enough of it.
Nah, it's not that. It's just that you're making people feel like they're wrong for hating it. You phrased your original post more like an attack than an opinion, and people responded a little harsher than they needed to. I really didn't think it was that bad, but people are sensitive.
..Hardly. I was in the same old rotten boots and skis for 5 or 6 years before this season, my gloves are full of holes, I never had a helmet or jacket that wasn't used, I've been in the same snow pants since high school.
People here love to make assumptions.. I just make sacrifices for what I'm passionate about and it's totally worth it.

Again, you sound like someone who doesn't have a job.
Most people I know work jobs where they work 6 days a week.
If you think that's what life is all about, then I feel sorry for you.
I've worked hard all my life and I don't sit on my ass when I have a day off! I go skiing, biking, hiking, kayaking, camping. I don't sit and complain about shit on reddit. Just because I love winter and skiing doesn't mean that I'm useless. I think working 6 or 7 days a week at a job that you probably don't like and sitting around not being happy when you're not working is useless.
Having a job isn't a good excuse for not having fun.

Saying that I probably don't have a real job because I like winter gave me the impression that you take work too seriously to enjoy life. Each of our assumptions (yours and mine) are most likely unwarranted, but at leased I'll be outside getting exercise, enjoying life, and making awesome new friends on the ski hill during my days off.
I read the title and thought this was about Vivaldi''s winter being the most overused of his Four Seasons. So I came here to argue and say Spring was obviously the most famous one. Then I clicked the link, and realized what a snob I've become.
Knowing Vivaldi is snobbish? Don't worry, you're perfectly fine! Wait till you start arguing with someone about whether Glass or Reich was a better minimalist. /r/classicalmusic
