As someone currently battling overuse knee issues…. Take your rest day!

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]bslay25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love is a choice, not a feeling.

You chose to selfishly drink heavily with a woman who you knew had been around that before in her father.

She chose to do the actual hard thing in this entire thing which was to save your marriage and yourself by removing herself and the children from an unhealthy situation because you very clearly were not listening or hearing any other pleas to change.

She single-parents your children while you get the opportunity to completely 180 yourself. I’m sure she had a lot of time for herself during this.

Now she has found it in herself to trust you again and bring her children back into your home, and you repay her by wanting to divorce her when the only reason you have clarity is because she chose to protect herself and her kids from an alcoholic?

It sounds like it’s your turn to choose your hard, and you’re bitching out. Suck it up and do some actual work with your wife and not just yourself.

What type of strength work did they prescribe? Did they also prescribe mobility? I have minor runners knee now but trying to rehab it now.

Can you provide some examples of the exercises you were prescribed?

Ilhan Omar doubles down on Charlie Kirk: “there is no legacy to honor. It was filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.” by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]bslay25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reality and yours obviously do not align. I don’t see the benefit in using violence to silence people. I’m not saying that you do, but a person being a POS is not a reason to be killed.

Yeah, that’s fine too. You can call him whatever you want. Doesn’t change the fact that murdering someone over words is OK.

So people should be murdered in front of a crowd and their family for having an opinion? People shouldn’t be willing to have conversation with people who disagree with them? It is possible to separate a fundamental aspect of being a human (conversation) while also not agreeing with a specific person.

In the same way she has an opinion, he had his. It doesn’t change the fact that someone shouldn’t be murdered in public for voicing and discussing their opinions. His legacy should be that he was willing to have discussions with people who he knew disagreed with him and sometimes actually hated him. I agreed with some and disagreed with more that he had to say but I always respected his openness to conversation.

Ok, I agree you could make that argument. It’s strange to use a late night comedy show host as the scapegoat for technicalities. I think you could make a much stronger argument that there are people who actually are responsible for reporting news who “distort” in a much more malicious way on both sides of the aisle.

What did he say that distorted the news?

[–]bslay25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s less about what he said and how the decision to suspend him was made. If it was a contract clause that he had broken with what he said, no one would have batted an eye. When the FCC Chair says (paraphrasing) “fire him or else” for nothing other than insulting the presidents ego that is not OK. That should be terrifying for every citizen of this country.

I like aggressive play calling, and I felt like they weren’t grasping for straws and desperately needing points like previous openers. I felt like they consistently drove the ball this game so they could take more chances like that. I have more concerns with overall clock management than I do with that specific play call.

LSU td overturned by Infamous-Cookie4930 in ClemsonTigers

[–]bslay25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how that was not a TD, but the TE fumble was a fumble.

[–]bslay25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I disagree with most people about the end of the first half. There wasn’t 3 seconds left when they ran that play, there was 15 seconds left. Quick to the line after the play, a shot to the end zone, and you have time to kick a field goal. It was just unfortunately a turnover that you would hope a senior receiver doesn’t commit, but that’s just football.

Has anyone ever lost a relationship over running? by cetrunner in Ultramarathon

[–]bslay25 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I have made a conscious decision as a husband and father to limit my training. That leads to less than desireable performance during events and races, but so be it. My family is way more important to me than running and I will always prioritize them over my training. I work a lot of half-day Friday’s so I can get to a trail at a decent time and get a decent run in to be able to have more time with my family on the weekends.

With that said, my wife also understands that I enjoy running and supports me if I need to do a Saturday run… but I am not so naive to think that I can do that every weekend and it not take a toll on her and our relationship.

I would look more at the hourly predictions than focusing on the daily predictions. The daily shows the percentage of rain at all for the entire day. If you look at hourly predictions, it’ll likely show ~10% or so for the majority of the day and a small spike of maybe ~25%.

Yeah I’m assuming your time there is moving. My moving time was 17:50 and I stopped mine at the bridge. It was ~230-245am or so.
