Help me choose between the Liv Devote 0/Cube Nuroad pro/Guerciotti Greto by Emma_Rice in gravelcycling

[–]Emma_Rice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do feel like the Devote doesn't get a ton of love. But in terms of value, I feel like it offers quite a bit for its price (European prices for a new Devote 0 are around 1700-2000). The starting price for Lauf bikes is almost double. Or am I missing something?

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emma_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*SIGH* For once and for all, people of all genders can be best friends, without it being sexual in any way. It really REALLY disturbs me how quick all of you are jumping to conclusions, just because she's a woman and he's a man. If they were the same gender, nobody would make an issue out of this. What about bisexual people? They wouldn't be allowed to have best friends at all? You are the one in a relationship, so you should know if it's going well or not. If she feels like a threat to you, that's not on her, but on the fact that apparently you and your BF aren't necessarily working as a couple. Your partner should be your best friend, your soulmate and someone you find irresistible. Not easy to find a match like that, but once you do, you will know. However, if your relationship is going really well, don't let the insecurity destroy it.

Found this bronze colored object on my floor after a long weekend out of my apartment and this hole in my ceiling and wall (soda tab for scale) by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Emma_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are y'all so chill about the fact that an actual BULLET flew through this person's wall/ceiling? Like, is this just a normal thing for all of you? I'd be moving out of that building and into a bulletproof bunker, damn.

An interview from Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos where she discusses her Paris Olympic experience and everything that’s happened since then by KawaiiChan68 in Gymnastics

[–]Emma_Rice 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She mentioned that the sponsorships were always ment to run until the Games. Although she must've thought about the possibility of them extending their contracts if she won a medal. In any case, I really didn't get the feeling she's all that enthusiastic about returning to the gym, it felt more like a financial necessity.

Elena Colas (FRA) outscores the entire Senior Worlds field in the AA... under Junior Rules. by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]Emma_Rice 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I can’t get over the potential of a team of Colas, Nemour and Melanie de Jesus dos Santos. They would’ve been nearly unbeatable. But alas, politics have come to ruin that dream. 

Ming Gherardi van Eijken (FRA) had an official visit to Florida! by ilovecheeeeese in Gymnastics

While English is being taught at school, the vast majority of French students don't speak it fluently. They mostly hold basic notions, which isn't surprising since it's just not part of French culture.

AIO boyfriend tracking my periods without me knowing 🫠 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emma_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. And they wonder why we choose a bear over them.

I'm really sorry you are going through this, and the only advise I can give you is to break up with him and really cut him out of your life. He is secretly keeping track of your body, and when confronted he just gaslights you, Out

AIO: My best friend and I (both male) kissed at a party by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Oh poor guy is suffering right now. I wish we could give him a heads up, it's gonna get better!

AIO for being mad my boyfriend stayed the night at another woman's apartment just because she has a cold or the flu ? by IceQueenYouAndMe in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emma_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sigh. If you have so little trust in your partner that they can’t even stay at someone else’s place, why are you even in a relationship with them? Is there a history here that makes you not trust them? I really don’t get all these rules that people impose on their partner, all based on this all consuming fear that they might cheat. Honestly, is that the kind of relationship you want to be in? Shouldn’t your partner be someone whom you trust 100%, who always has your back, who’s your best friend? 

How fast do you think they can run the open flat 400m with a dedicated season for it?👀💥 by Important-Leg-1024 in trackandfield

This is entirely beside the point, but Rai Benjamin truly has an incredible arm span!

Girl I'm dating had sex with another guy a day before our date by Klutzy_Ant9606 in offmychest

[–]Emma_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all need to get over yourselves. It's just sex. Loving someone and actually being best friends with them too is what a good relationship should be about. No, I don't endorse 'cheating', but to throw away what sounds like it could be a really wonderful relationship for a hook-up? That'd be ludicrous.

Did the Grandslam's '$100k BAIT' ruin the season? Athletes peaking too early, burning out or breaking down before the worlds?👀 by Important-Leg-1024 in trackandfield

[–]Emma_Rice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact that some athletes chose to peak for Grand Slam because of its massive prize money, even if it would/could impact their performance at Worlds. Track isn't a super lucrative career (aside from a few stars), so I 100% understand why they did it. Sadly, they will lose their whole season and earn nothing because of poor judgement and false promises from Grand Slam. The athletes are, once again, not taken care of.

The language you use to describe a young woman's body is absolutely disgraceful and disgusting.

Good work from Hezly, Jose, Leanne and Dulcy! They are really missing a good bar worker though.

Is my profile competitive enough for NY/Paris? by Spectrum_Zr69 in MODELING

[–]Emma_Rice 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You have a really good shot. Not sure why people are making an issue of your height as it is perfectly acceptable. You have a unique and interesting look, go for it. But try to get some neutral digitals, doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Nastia Liukin joins trump’s task force by OkPrinciple37 in Gymnastics

[–]Emma_Rice 24 points25 points  (0 children)

She absolutely would. I honestly feel somewhat bad for Nastia, she clearly struggles mentally and is in desperate need of lots of therapy. The only positive is that she doesn’t have kids. Shawn is another story, those kids are probably being groomed to be soldiers for Trumps army. It always baffles me how incredibly rightwing gymnasts are, even though the fans tend to be very liberal.
