thehandlebargamer.bsky.social @thehandlebargamer.bsky.social · 24/01/2026My last trip to the gym. Was stared at the whole time. One girl was sick with the flu. Snotting all over the place not cleaning. There’s no sense of community either. People too busy making TikTok shit. Time to step it up with my own new equipment. Just getting started….. 4200
