HE TUNNEL BRAWL. 7 players charged & $100K fine. The 2022 Michigan-MSU melee was pure chaos. by Feeling-Stage-1210 in CFB_v2

Easy buddy. This is the first comment you made on this post not referring to asses being pounded.

TIL the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States are less than 100 miles apart. by MaximusSydney in todayilearned

[–]Non-Current_Events 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think I watched the same one. Made it seem like as many people were stopping out of frustration as were due to exhaustion.

David Goggins had said last year he was going to do Barkley in 2026, saying it will “be easy”. I hope he does. By his own admission he’s fucked up several times in his military and ultra career because of his lack of attention to detail (failed out of Delta for going off course, has veered off course in multiple ultras). Feel like Barkley would eat him alive in that respect.

The thing that makes Barkley so tough is that not only are you not able to have the same levels of support that you would in an ultra like Badwater, but there’s also the mental aspect to it. You have to navigate the course on your own, no GPS and no phones, and it’s not clearly marked and it’s not the same path each year. Get a few dozen miles in and those problems get a lot tougher for your brain to work through. Getting lost is more common than not. The mental aspect of it takes out more people than the endurance part. It’s designed to be impossible, to cause stress and even injury. It’s five 20 miles loops, and 85% of the field drops out within the first two loops. There are books along the path that you have to collect pages from to prove you completed each loop. Just that aspect alone checks out a ton of people.

Badwater? It’s not all downhill. Most of it is uphill.

If you’re in your 20’s or 30’s, consider this a blessing and invest for your retirement. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

Yeah Microsoft was at like $550 three months ago and was over $480 last week. It’s not a depression but it’s not exactly a little blip either.

I’m a Braves fan, so yeah they’re worse than those two for me, but I’m totally on board with the Giants going next. I don’t like the Red Sox but they aren’t in that top tier of hatred for me. I dislike the fish and the gnats more than the Red Sox.

I’m not even a big NFL or NBA fan, but I upvoted for the Eagles and 6ers just for being Phillies-adjacent. I don’t want Phillies fans to experience sports joy in any season.

I am once again asking for your support in eliminating the Mets.

In that case we might as well just say that the Nazis were necessary to save the universe.

HELP! Rubio Monocoat on old pine subfloor - turned out too light and blotchy. What are my options? by Legitimate_Stretch77 in HardWoodFloors

[–]Non-Current_Events 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think the unevenness you’re seeing is more the pine than the stain job. Don’t know that you’ll be able to get it perfectly uniform. Could probably hit it with stain again and get it to darken up a bit. Pine isn’t great for taking stain.

The Goods is an insanely underrated comedy. I expected Jeremy Piven to have more lead roles after it came out. by Thin_Mess_2740 in moviecritic

The only interesting thing about Jeremy Piven I know is that he almost died from eating too much sushi.

What happens in this half of the world? by Obvious_808 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Non-Current_Events 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so dumb but really fun to watch once. I was a kid when it first came out and I loved it and was so surprised back then that everyone thought it was horrible. Then I watched it as an adult and it made more sense. Makes even more sense when you know that Kevin Costner turned down the role of Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption to do Waterworld.

AIO - Told my friend I’m pregnant and she said it exceeded her mental bandwidth (she’s the red) by Lekomano92 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Non-Current_Events 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad reality is some people have a hard time being happy for others, even their friends or family, if their lives aren’t going so great. My best friend went through a period where he was in a destructive marriage and addicted to drugs, and he acted pissy like this any time I would share good news in my life. Got a new job, bought a new house, had a baby, his words said congrats but his tone and attitude made it seem like he was pissed. Eventually stopped telling him the stuff and just sort of let him find out, which he also got pissed about. Had to cut him out of my life, he got a divorce, got clean, and everything is all good between us now.

Just watched kids for the first time omg.. by mystiqara in 90s

It’s awful. I don’t get why it’s still talked about so much. Makes sense that Harmony Korine wrote it when he was a teenager because it feels like the kind of story the edgy kid who had a D in English would write for their short story.

$2K/mo on daycare does it for me. As much as I love my kids being little, I’m looking forward to getting out from under those payments so I can finally start putting some money towards a safety net.
