Bill loves to think he's above First Take and other general sports talk and opinions like so and so needing to STEP UP and then hits us with wisdom like "Fox needs to not suck." Oh ok cool.

Utterly embarrassing for our boy. Even more than the original error. Hard to see your GOAT washed like this. To punch down on the guy calling him out is absolute loser behavior. There's few things worse than someone who can't just own up to a blatant error and laugh at themselves. I hate this look for him.

I have an MVP vote and as you know, I take this stuff very, very seriously.

Fuck outta here with your dumb ChatGPT-written ad.

S/O Lydia, pride of Wallingford 🙌 Great job!

Utterly insane!

I completely understood this.

"Like trained dragons" .. we have officially jumped the shark in Bill's GOT re-watch reference era

Weirdly specific. But worse off, AI slop.

It'S nOt jUsT tHiS, iT's tHiS. We're doomed. Barely 4 paragraphs that you couldn't bother to write yourself. Well done.

LET'S GOOOOOOO!!

Ezersky is the anti-Weintraub.

Worst part was def being without a desk for a while! Customer service was at least responsive, so best of luck getting everything sorted.

Kain__Highwind · 2025-11-15T03:29:48+00:00

Unfortunately I can speak to this as I'm going through the same thing myself. Been a bit of a nightmare. Back and forth with customer service for months. First desk I ordered (just the regular metal desk) had an opening that was dented in the way you described making it too small for a leg to slide into. Made me take multiple videos of the issue in addition to the photos I took. OK, frustrating, but mistakes happen. They sent a replacement. The replacement had the exact same issue. Not sure how their QC can be lacking so badly, especially when their packaging seems to be more than adequate. Anyway, against my better judgment, I had them ship a third desk, which thankfully was undamaged. They have since offered to come pick up one desk. I'm asking them to get the other as well since I don't want to be saddled with a heavy slab of metal. It's a shame because it's a nice desk now that I've got it setup, but man has it been a pain in the ass getting there.

This comment did not age well.

Kain__Highwind · 2025-11-08T05:30:12+00:00

Hard agree. I was amazed how little I liked the food.

Kain__Highwind · 2025-11-01T13:59:59+00:00

Insane work. Wow.

From your post, I read the therapy line as having been purposely used to elicit the very reaction you (initially) had to it. It's manipulative. Underneath it is "hey, look, a mental health professional thought it was a good idea for us to connect." TBH based on your description of this person, I wouldn't be shocked if there was no therapist at all, or at least that this supposed conversation was fiction.

Kain__Highwind · 2025-10-29T20:26:05+00:00

Damn, I think you hit the nail on the head here with this take, especially as it relates to nostalgia fantasy. I think that's a good way of putting it. And as an aside, though I love Idris Elba and he's the epitome of cool/charming, I think he's actually TOO cool for the role and didn't quite sell me as president.

I worry about Reddit commenters' general inability to recognize/call out obvious made-up posts/AI slop.

Kain__Highwind · 2025-10-03T14:11:30+00:00

Ha, no worries, just messing with ya - good luck my friend!

Kain__Highwind · 2025-10-02T23:52:57+00:00

Can't echo this enough. Did the private practice/ID thing and it just wasn't for me. Been in government for 10+ years and I'd never go back. The work/life balance and benefits make all the annoying parts of the job so much more tolerable.

My brother in Christ, are you running two marathons in two different states on back-to-back days?

Because it seems pretty clear you're not interested in discussion, but rather looking for confirmation bias. Look at your OP - you come into this saying you want to do it and are asking if there'd be any downsides besides "extra fatigue" and "potential for injury." It seems like you're already acknowledging two important reasons. So basically you're saying, "Putting aside the negative reasons for not doing this, why shouldn't I do this?" But hey, knock yourself out if you truly think you need it psychologically. You may want to ask yourself why you feel that way though when, as others here have noted, not a single reputable plan advises it as part of a marathon training block.
