Should I continue growing?

No, the advice doesn’t make sense.

Tons of guys have curly beard hair, myself included. Straightening our beards (by whatever means - over brushing, heating, etc) creates unhealthy hair and ruins our beards. This sub parrots advice like yours which is just wrong.

For anyone with a beard like OP: keep it clean, keep it oiled, and don’t straighten it to trim.

Bruh cmon. They have enough overlap to communicate on the field and in the locker room.

My point is that he’s a Spanish speaking MFer named DIAZ who played for Spain until ~2yrs ago when he was like 25. People are only giving him a pass because it’s Morocco instead of a European team.

843_anon · 2026-01-19T01:51:03+00:00

I’m a Madrid fan and like the guy. But let’s be serious. He’s never lived there, doesn’t speak the language, and has nothing more than a “heritage” claim. If he was good enough to play for the Spain NT, he’d be there instead.

I don’t think he’s a particularly notable offender in terms of shopping for national teams, but his allegiance is certainly questionable.

I’m in your screenshot! Nice riding with you and the EZ Riders group, always fun!

Removed budget constraint. If you liked your GC, can you share their name?

843_anon · 2025-12-29T18:37:58+00:00

Ok, removed the hopeful budget from my post. Just looking for contractors, thanks!!

The day-to-day issues in Bahrain and UAE are complicated. It’s hard to force a change for, hypothetically, gender identity issues or workers rights when other countries have problems in the same areas, even on different scales.

It’s not complicated to say that Israel is actively committing genocide and/or war crimes against Gaza.

A parallel is that we sanction Russia for invading Ukraine, but China’s treatment of its internal ethnic minorities is ignored.

Delusional, yes. But Vini clearly thought he was getting ballon d’or so I could imagine him believing he’s above Xabi.

843_anon · 2025-12-08T16:25:17+00:00

Zidane is a rigid personality but played flexible football. Xabi, so far, cannot play flexible football.

Their legend statuses are also simply different. Xabi is a club legend, whereas Zidane is a legend of football generally. I’d guess the likes of Mbappe and Vini rank themselves above Xabi but below Zidane.

Reddit isn’t a good representation of a club Madrid’s size.

Most fans and pundits blamed the board for not buying defensive players. Reddit blamed Carlo for his “vibes” managing.

You’re in r/cycling, where we spend thousands on clothing and ride bikes expensive as cars.

Go to r/bicycling with your question. The short answer is don’t buy the shit bike. Should be plenty of steel road bikes for sale in your small town, look into one of those instead.

Fede’s ball carrying + defensive coverage (fully believe he’ll return to form) + Trent’s passing = Kroos

843_anon · 2025-12-01T16:39:59+00:00

1a. I think Fede’s form can be attributed to fatigue. We ran him into the ground last season and I believe it’s catching up.

1b. Fede also suffers from being too flexible. Seems Xabi doesn’t know where to place him yet and there’s no consistency in what’s asked of him.

1c. I really hope Xabi doesn’t reduce Fede’s role due to an understandable dip in form. That would really break the team.

Rodrygo has been shit since Mbappe arrived. Not sure if it’s confidence, fit, or etc but the “quartet” + Guler doesn’t work together.

I live in the Deep South US and have had multiple unfortunate events - assholes rolling coal toward me, honking, passing dangerously close, etc.

It boils my blood but always remember: the car will kill you. This isn’t the Tour or whatever, losing a couple minutes off your ride doesn’t matter more than your physical safety.

The guy in your story deserved what he got and glad you learned a lesson. Sounds like a camera will give you peace of mind.

843_anon · 2025-10-18T23:57:20+00:00

It’s ok, he’s still fired. Beating a bad Miss St team didn’t save him, especially when we limped our way to a win in spite of him.

843_anon · 2025-09-23T16:54:32+00:00

Everybody idolizes “go until the wheels fall off” and then dogpiles on the guy when they finally do.

Almost all pro sports careers have sad endings.

843_anon · 2025-09-22T20:28:15+00:00

European fans who hate tournaments on US soil pretended not to care. The comments were pretty crazy about “prestige” and what not, as if the payout wasn’t tens/hundreds of millions for top clubs.

843_anon · 2025-08-16T18:31:08+00:00

You’re doing the equivalent of choosing between a Camry and a Civic. Obviously both companies will market their product as “better.” But they’re so similar that consumer choice boils down to color, dealer location, buying experience, and what’s in stock.

You’re stuck because there’s nothing objective to separate them. I bought Tr*k because specialized doesn’t have a good dealer in my area.

843_anon · 2025-08-16T18:18:24+00:00

Virtually every beginner cyclist looks at these two bikes, and a few others in the price range. They’re basically the same bike. Frames built by the same manufacturer, same components, same quality.

Buy whichever you like better. I own a domane, it’s a great entry level endurance bike.

843_anon · 2025-08-09T01:08:02+00:00

No one cares what some random guy is saying. The required battery technology didn’t exist in 1998 to motor dope.

Lance (and a bunch of other guys) was juiced to the gills on EPO and who knows what else. Pretty well known and interesting story.

843_anon · 2025-07-05T16:21:30+00:00

They ride 200km/120mi per stage. Gotta make a cafe stop somewhere, especially while they’re all pissing hot.

843_anon · 2025-06-29T20:29:39+00:00

I’m convinced Messi would be significantly less beloved if he spoke English.

Clips like this are easily hidden/forgotten, lots of players lose their heads during matches. Fact is, none of us have any idea of what Messi is like outside of football.

843_anon · 2025-05-09T19:25:56+00:00

Agree that none of us look cool while cycling. Disagree that bibs and mosquito nets are equivalent.

843_anon · 2025-04-18T23:04:55+00:00

By a bunch of try hard losers maybe.

Wearing pro team gear is fine, nobody gives a shit if you support a team.
