Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?

Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
