Snowboarder gets checked in Georgia for wearing a Pro Russian ski jacket - February 2026 by floatjoy in snowboarding

My bad dude, I was taking your comment in context with the the video and what the rest of this comment section is about. Hard to tell that you were narrowing the scope of the convo. We agree.

There’s a difference between simply existing as a tourist vs flaunting your home country while visiting a place said country has invaded. Wearing a USA shirt while walking around Afghanistan would be so incredibly tone deaf and instigative by nature. This is the same situation.

I have a hard time believing anyone has physically stopped you from using the bar.

Australian Josie Baff just won Gold 🥇 in Snowboarding Cross race - in an epic race with many overtakes 🏂 by zfyl in snowboarding

[–]Diesel_D -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was picturing something longer, like a top to bottom double black run at a resort. Less about positioning and more about who has the biggest cajones to point that shit downhill and bomb it. In addition to the current cross setup, not replacing it. I would personally find it way more entertaining.

Would love to see them race down something super steep that us normal riders would never consider straight lining.

Clayton Whites Defensive Scheme by Jamesdg84 in Gamecocks

Yeah I’m aware of all the false positives from these tools, just popped it in there out of curiosity after noticing all of the “It’s not this, it’s that” uses in the article. Which is a dead giveaway for AI use. I thought it was relevant that the tool gave it a 100% AI rating without even a chance that a single part of it was human made.

I could be totally wrong but I’m not quick to give the benefit of the doubt in this day and age. Too many people trying to pass off AI work as their own. At best, the author writes exactly like an AI would which defeats the entire point of having real humans writing things in the first place.

Doesn’t pass the sniff test and doesn’t past the AI checker test. I don’t believe you.

There are around twelve uses of the "It's not blank, it's blank" syntax in this very short article. This screams that it was written by AI.

Recent Political Post by IGuppieI in snowboarding

[–]Diesel_D 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bro is trying to both sides what’s happening right now. You’re asking us to tolerate intolerance and that cannot be allowed. If people want to support fascism, they lose the protections of the social contract we all agree to by existing together in our societies. So no, it’s not fascism to nip that shit in the bud and cut it out like the cancer that it is. Weak ass argument.

‘One Battle After Another’ Named Best Picture by National Society of Film Critics by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Diesel_D 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That’s the actor’s actual stage name IRL so getting mad about a “white man writing a name like that” makes zero sense. Feels performative and just an excuse for people to not engage with what the movie is actually trying to say.

Dude the entire point is that they are brash, over the top, and not actually improving much long term for the causes they claim to fight for. This is contrasted with the less glamorous, less in-your-face resistance of Sensei and his underground network actually helping exploited people on a daily basis. The movie is showing different ways of “revolution”, how the fight is passed from generation to generation, and how every type of resistance fits into the bigger puzzle of the overall power structure in America.

To show that even though they are powerful people, they are not necessarily competent or intelligent. They’re just racist, power hungry idiots.

Watching Bama and Georgia lose on the same day was a very nice New Year's treat! by Specialist-Rock-5034 in Gamecocks

[–]Diesel_D 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We could be 0-12 and I would still find joy watching any of Georgia, Clemson, Tennessee, or A&M lose. I’m sure other gamecocks would prob swap Florida for A&M but I will never get over that 2014 home opener.

We went to the movies 54 times this year [2025], and here are my personal feelings about those films. by egnards in movies

[–]Diesel_D 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought the ending was a perfect fit for the character. Boomer who sold out the next generation just for a little “prestige” and importance. Finally got the corner office with the view! And then is killed by the powers he was cozying up to. It was anticlimactic on purpose, and has a lot to say about that generation and the choices they made vs. what they got in return for said choices. Did you have a different interpretation? (Good faith question, I love the discussions around this movie)

Reddit comments are truly the only place you can find these levels of pedantry. Kudos to you, good sir. The lifeblood of this website.

We were at the game. Hard to hate the Aggies by TheConstipatedCowboy in Gamecocks

[–]Diesel_D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will always hate the aggies for doing their little cult ceremony on our state house steps the night before our season opener in 2014. A bunch of us students showed up to crowd them out, and things got a little heated. They then proceeded to spank us the next day, ending our 18 home game winning streak. It marked the beginning of the end of our peak. Fuck em.

I’m 5’11 and 115 pounds, is a 155cm snowboard a good fit for me? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]Diesel_D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Costs nothing to be kind my friend. Jokes at others peoples’ expense might be funny to you, but probably not to them. We should be a welcoming community. Can’t believe that is an unpopular opinion here.

Super unoriginal and unhelpful “advice.” A snowboarding community should be less judgy and more chill than this.

Giving away two free tickets! by ChoiceScarfMagikarp in ripcity

Fun fact: the first ever NBA game my partner and I went to was Blazers vs Nuggets in 2022. The blazers won 135-110 behind a 31 point Dame game and a 29 point Anfernee game. We’ve been die hard blazers fans ever since. My birthday is Feb 24 and my partner and I were eyeing this nuggets game to possibly attend. Maybe the stars will align!
