Walking is not exercise. So don't convince yourself you're exercising when you're actually walking. Hey, hi. Shut the fuck up. You're not helping anyone. Thanks, pumpkin. And no, I'm not being misogynistic. Everyone who says stupid shit gets called pumpkin. I actually need something from the fridge. Shut the fuck up.
