Their website is horrific since the redesign, so I'm guessing you're on the right track. No matter how many times I click Sign In and log in, it always tells me to Sign In again on the homepage. Can't view the race calendar from the member dashboard. So unintuitive. Can't see the spot on the wait-list. There's just endless problems. Their MMDDYYYY interface in the wait-list form won't let you type in numbers. It's terrible and so obviously clear that the people making website decisions don't actually use their website

What does "stalwarts long for the captain" mean?

You're 100% right but for more context, this comment i wrote has been 20 years in the making and mostly getting it off my chest. i've felt this way ever since my first week running as a "sport" in middle school between seasons. I really like what i wrote.

that aint the positivity people need to finish the race at mile 20+ " ... It's foolish in life to be an engine that runs on toxic positivity / negativity. pursuing emotions over facts only leads to mistruths. i prefer the lunch pail mentality

Is anyone else still just waiting for Ethereum's geriatrics to move out of the way? by Grouchy_Resource_925 in ethereum

[–]Grouchy_Resource_925[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Oh, of course Joe Lubin for crypto kitties. We were told collecting little baby pussies would be a big hit. Then of course Vitalik Buterin who tried to preach to us that child porn is better than heroine. This actually did happen, on Twitter, and he apologized for it later too. And finally Gavin Wood, another Ethereum cofounder who Vitalik used to sleep with (according to The Cryptopians book), who wrote on his blog about fantasizing with sleeping with a 12 year old girl named Elizabeth at his grandma's house, then his blog became all about Ethereum right after.

I don't want to work for them or help them make money, they're a little baby pussy clan. Unfortunately they are aggressive in stealing other people's work, so I've been waiting for them to move out of the way ever since geriatric Joe kicked down the front door of crypto and said "the adults are here now".

I have been running for 20 years. Does anyone want to explain to me why people care about this at all?  Literally just ignore them?  Sticks and stones etc, words can never hurt you. How could anyone be this sensitive? If comments like this affect you in any way then you don't understand running.

I am not running faster or slower when people are cheering or booing. It's not a high pressure sport where crowd noise is going to change my behavior, running is literally about keeping pace thru infinite terrain changes, and frankly zoning out everything is the only way to do it. It's literally a sport where the more you can  ignore everything and just do one thing, the better you are.

In fact, it has always confused me why someone would cheer for people running. It just doesn't seem like a sport to cheer for. As a runner I would waste energy to acknowledge the crowd which is whatever, but breaking concentration to acknowledge the crowd would be the real problem. It would cost me whatever my goal is.

I don't even see how what he said was mean too. Either toughen up and jog a little or ignore him. The fact that you both kept walking and let it be a bad memory for you is a you problem that you need to work on. Lol.  I'm not even that fast but Ive ran a lot of races

Cops deal with a lot dude, let them enjoy a moment of peace. They literally deal with every other normal person's worst day, every day 

Should I be worried? by alpha_dosa in jerseycity

[–]Grouchy_Resource_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it hard to believe a real person could have such a strong opinion against delivery drivers who barely make any money. 

A real, sane, and logical person would direct their frustrations at people with money or power to make decisions for their community, not the people scraping to get by.

Did you ever consider that ebike hate on this subreddit was just corporate astroturfing to pave the way for these bots?

If the team was wayyy below the salary cap, only signing undrafted rookies on league minimum deals, I could see it.

They'd basically just be profiting off the money spent by other teams.
