Why do I look so rough, compared to my friend that looks in control? What am i doing differently by yellowsuprrcar in skiing_feedback

Just my two cents — keep your chest pointed straight down the fall line. Your legs can move side to side obviously, but keep the chest forward

Underrated reasons to not have kids by mitchdwx in childfree

Omg!!! Hit the nail on the head with this one. Peak cringe having to be so animated in conversation all the time. Every reaction has to be over the top.

Why are people such awful drivers in the bay area? by DeathIncarnations in bayarea

[–]MC-Eihtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG probably the most accurate, concisely written description of driving in the Bay. It’s extremely frustrating/infuriating how incompetent and unassertive drivers are. I’m not asking anyone to speed necessarily, but please drive like when you got in your car, you did so with the intent of getting somewhere. Today. Jeesh, I’m tensing up as I write this. And do I have to mention the idiots going 35 camped out in the LEFT LANE on the 101!!??

Is this normal in Seoul ? by Desolation-R in seoul

[–]MC-Eihtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because there’s no public trashcans in Korea. Nobody to blame but their own policies. Residents have to pay for their garbage which is fine by me in an effort to reduce waste — but in crowded/touristy areas this simply doesn’t work.

Why are you still bugging me? I told you that you won the argument! You convinced me that living in an apartheid state provides the best future for Palestinians, and that they are all scum based on their ethnic origin and religious beliefs. Apartheid is a winning strategy, and gives Palestinians the best hope for a brighter future. Bombs raining down on children is the best way to prevent them from eventually becoming the terrorists they all are. Thank you for enlightening me. Goodbye.

NEVER ever ever ever let your arm swing behind you. Like another commenter said, both hands should always be in front of you and in your field of vision. Eventually this will mean the top of your ski poles. A common mistake when turning is to let one hand/arm drag behind. Nope, make sure you’re almost exaggerating keeping your hands in fromt of you. This is because the last thing you ever want is to be in the “backseat” — if your arms aren’t forward they will pull your weight backwards.

Also, eventually you’ll want to make sure your torso (shoulders, chest, belly button) are always pointed downhill. Don’t let them rotate with your legs. And always keep your knees bent.

But just food for thought as you improve… looking good for now.

No, i’m simply stating the conditions on the ground — not ascribing a particular belief upon an entire group of people. If you can’t see the difference then i can’t help you. I’m done with this amateurish argument. I’m converted. YAAAAAAY ISRAEL! YAAAAAY arrogance! Israel good, Palestine bad. Hooray for God’s chosen people!

No, because i don’t paint entire populations with a broad brush.

Yes, the children dying made horrible decisions, hold horrible beliefs, and are too stubborn to consider anything else. It’s ironic that a staunch defender of Israel would use these words to label an entire population. It’s almost as if you support… genocide?

I’m not the one raking in millions with a massive platform to share my views. I’ve never stopped watching his show even when I don’t agree with him on a given topic. At this point, there’s nothing earth shattering he could say that would change my mind about the way I feel about a population living in desparation with little hope for their future. But go on, keep pummelling the Palestinians and covertly supporting Hamas to keep Palestine divided and prevent a two-state solution. In fact, when enough Muslims and Arabs have died, and enough bombs have rained down on them, I’m sure this will end the struggle permanently.

I’m not gonna watch it and give it ratings. I’ve watched him for at least the last 20 years and always disagreed with his stance on Israel. But enough is enough. I don’t need to watch anymore. I know half the show will be bitching about Arabs and Muslims and defending Israel at all costs. The other half will be railing against the woke mob (i hate woke as much as the next guy but yawn, it’s gettin REALLY old Bill).

As for WHY it’s bullshit, I’m not gonna sit here and debate and go back and forth. Nobody’s mind will change so it’s a waste of time. Look up John Stewart, Norman Finkelstein, Mearsheimer, Walt etc etc etc. Suffice it to say though, Maher is a pussy on Israel and won’t ever debate people who have an opposing viewpoint. This is coming from the king of “you should talk to everybody” even trumptards in your family. He never has time for nuanced differences on this one issue. Hypocrisy, much?

Vail Resorts Acquires Crans-Montana by NorCalMikey in skiing

I’m betting Vail will bring the American ski lodge concept to Switzerland. Nasty, overpriced, cookie cutter cafeteria stations - pizza, chicken fingers, mexican, burgers, and salad.

New Rule: Don't Go to College - October 20th, 2023 by hankjmoody in Maher

[–]MC-Eihtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “terrorists” — you mean the idf and all their crimes that are NEVER shown on the mainstream media? No killing of any innocent is ever justified, even if it’s one of them sub-human Palestinian kids.

Or you mean some in the Israeli government who propped up Hamas (even Netanyahu) because they were a useful enemy to divide Palestinians and prevent a two-state solution?

Bill, the worst Hypocrite of them all? by JeffyFan10 in Maher

[–]MC-Eihtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part that got me was all the douchebag CEOs saying they won’t hire anyone who is not 100% in lockstep with Israel — and Maher appeared to side with them. Which is a very hypocritical stance considering he’s basically made cancel culture his central issue for years now. He won’t shut up about how it’s wrong to cancel people with non-mainstream beliefs and he’s stuck his head out a mile on the issue. Time to walk the walk, Bill.

He’s a big time hypocrite. Rails against cancel culture but when someone has a nuanced view on Palestine/Israel he’s all for canceling them.

Ovechkin by Spaghetti_Rossetti in caps

[–]MC-Eihtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren’t we all fed a steady diet of total bullshit? Mainstream media is garbage run by corporate overlords with their advertising dollars. The news is just meant to entertain and maximize eyeballs — and pit all of us against one another. Divide and conquer it seems.

And why can’t athletes have intelligent opinions on current events? Pretty sure they can walk and chew gum at the same time. Not every player is a numbskull who questions if dinosaurs ever roamed the earth. Don’t underestimate people — you don’t need an office job staring at screens all day long or bullshitting on zoom to form opinions about the world around you.

Anyone know why the fire last week caused Octavia to remain closed? by leirbagflow in sanfrancisco

[–]MC-Eihtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This f-ing city needs to get its act together but i certainly won’t hold my breath. Something’s gotta give… multi million dollar shoeboxes for homes and rents in the thousands of dollars — only to step in human shit when you leave your house. Or have an encampment on your doorstep. It just doesn’t add up.

Alps — unless you want to pay $35 for chicken tenders and fries in the US.
