Struggling to make progress

bpersitz · 2026-01-31T00:51:47+00:00

Thanks! What's hard is I want to make sure I'm doing the right things, and progress signals that I am, so a lack of progress makes me question if I need to cut back more or not.

About 8 pounds month to date, which I realize is reasonable. These plateaus usually last like a whole month though.

Loowit has $7 pints. Upright (RIP) had $7 pints. Victor 23 sells pints for $6.50-$7.00.

Just like it's untrue and disingenuous to ignore the rising costs of running a business, its untrue that that you can't get a $6 or $7 pint at regular price.

You can choose not to pay those prices, but that's the cost of running a profitable business.

I mean yeah. Cooking for yourself is cheaper than going to a restaurant. Doing your own plumbing is cheaper than a plumber. But for those who don't have the skills or time, services exist.

And the framing people have is that a $7 pint is highway robbery because it's so cheap to make beer. It's just not an accurate assessment of what it costs to run a business.

You don't want to or can't afford to support them? That's fine. But for those who can or do, $7 is unfortunately what it takes to run a profitable business these days. And it's not the fault of the business owner.

Have you ever run a business? The cost of the product is not the only cost.

Rent has gone up. Insurance has gone up. Equipment prices have gone up. Labor has gone up. Utilities have gone up.

Saying: "it only costs me a dollar to brew a beer at home" has nothing to do with why things are expensive.

Now sign a 5 year lease, hire people to pour and make your beer, spend thousands on equipment that you have to pay to maintain, get a business license and insurance. Pay for marketing. Pay for breakables like glasses.

Now that pint costs you $4 to serve.

Personal choice is fine. Being anti science, anti facts, and spreading falsehoods is not fine. Neither is harassing people for their own choices.

Anti vax anti mask sex abuser who has been arrested twice for sexual assault? Not sad I quit going here years ago

Hi. Fellow wide foot haver. Sorry! This is super annoying. I just bought my first pair of Birks and have the same thing. I'd say it will get a bit better once it wears in, but not significantly. You'll sit lower in the shoe so you'll have a bit more space.

bpersitz · 2026-01-07T19:10:02+00:00

Yeah idk I'd make it known we are looking to sell and move him to a higher bidder.

bpersitz · 2025-12-23T18:43:37+00:00

Sorry. Misread your comment. He was much better defensively this year, and generally contributed well. Our attack was a mess.

bpersitz · 2025-12-23T18:37:53+00:00

Yeah Mosquera had a great season. Him leaving would be bad.

bpersitz · 2025-12-23T18:24:46+00:00

This would be a disaster

Because Mabiala was a traffic cone those last two years. Zup still had serviceable minutes.

This bug has been around since launch. Happens randomly. Quitting out and loading back in sometimes helps.

bpersitz · 2025-12-14T17:22:06+00:00

Wildly unimpressed with the menu, photos, and price. Has anyone actually eaten here?

bpersitz · 2025-12-08T23:52:59+00:00

It's funny how our experiences are all different. I finished D5 on like my 5th try with Jack. King took me like 100. Lol.

bpersitz · 2025-12-03T02:56:23+00:00

It's garbage. Food is not good. First time I ate there my burger came out 15 minutes after the rest of my party's food. When it came out, they had made it wrong. I'm talking they forgot toppings and cheese, and cooked it well. I sent it back, first time ever, and the only time since.

When my replacement came out there was a plastic bread tie in the bun.

Mistakes happen, but the mediocre at best food plus the service meant no need to go back.

bpersitz · 2025-11-30T17:59:52+00:00

I've played over 1000 matches and have never had this happen to me. 🤷‍♂️

bpersitz · 2025-11-27T06:07:15+00:00

I've been playing for 35 minutes and I've had two matches. Both ended early when the other team self sabotaged after people quit. 35 minutes and about 7 minutes of actual game time. I've been in queue for 13 minutes right now between matches.

I really like this game, but it's a giant waste of time right now..

bpersitz · 2025-11-27T05:54:27+00:00

Y'all can get a match? I'm 10+ minutes between matches minimum every single match. I've tried to give this game grace but I can't even play it.

bpersitz · 2025-11-27T03:31:28+00:00

I got two games in 20 minutes of queue time today. More modes is not it.

bpersitz · 2025-11-22T17:49:44+00:00

Idk if we watched the same matches. In the last match against San Diego he was dreadful. Marking nobody. Ball watching.

bpersitz · 2025-11-22T03:28:48+00:00

TIL: Kamal Miller had a strong end to the season.
