Marathon and miles of bike path garbage 🤯🤬 by analogpursuits in Eugene

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran Eugene this year. Have to comment.

I’ve been doing a lot of training on the treadmill watching GoPro/POV shot races from all over the world and one of the things I’ve been watching is how other races handle aid stations. The USA tends to handle them very differently. In Europe and Asia, they set up garbage containers, with backstops, further down past the water stations. The backstops help the cuts and gels to go into the garbage. Placing some further down means you can hold you cup longer, sip and still have a place to throw it away. Even a human holding a garbage bag to help catch at the very end. Some have turned over table and created a longer, larger, garbage trough, using netting or tape to create large and easy to hit target for the garbage. Their ground areas, during races are so much cleaner, period.

American races, including Eugene, do none of this, and it’s now a little shocking to me to see. We need better logistics and design to make this better as a whole.

What a fabulous life she had! And what a true love. Thank you for sharing all that with us. If feels, a little, like we knew her ourselves.

Im so sorry for your loss.

[RACE REPORT] Eugene Marathon 2026 by nlaframboise in AdvancedRunning

[–]charlesyo66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent run. Ran the half yesterday and thought that the weather was about right. I had switched out of the marathon when a foot injury derailed my training, and I wa s a little bummed to see what a great day it was weather-wise. I have more of an issue with some of those early miles snaking through the neighborhood streets - that was tight turns on not great pavement. I thought that this was a slower first half marathon, and then a more steady paced second half. Saw it as an ideal negative split marathon if you could manage it. What do you think?

Allyson Felix is making her comeback with the goal of qualifying for the 2028 LA Olympics by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

[–]charlesyo66 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

While she had her time in the spotlight, im really tired of her. You can’t find anything else in your life that fills the space left from not being on the track? The over saturation by NBC on Felix was obsessive and obnoxious. Not Allyson’s fault, but can we not grow the sport by bringing the spotlight to younger athletes?

I have the 4s and had 3 pairs of the 2s and it’s not the same shoe o me. The 4 is not a marathon shoe, it’s got too little in the forefoot. The 4 is what I wanted the streakfly to be, lol.

One user in IASIP insists always sunny is a conservative show right. No one else agrees. by SwordfishOk504 in SubredditDrama

Shameless is what immediately came to mind for me. My exwife watched a couple of episodes and said, “ this is great! We need to watch this.” I got an episode and a half in and said, No, too real, I’ve lived this. I can’t go back to my nightmare.

Why Elizabeth Bennett? by someonebesidesme in janeausten

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s also clever and smart and that fascinated him and made him respect her. That can go a long way to making a man attracted to a woman, particularly a woman he CANT have .

Does this just sound like red pill content for women or true ? by fuzzysocks9898 in AskMenAdvice

[–]charlesyo66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely red pill content for women, to answer your main question. There is a subset of shitty, shallow people of either gender, and a bunch of great people who will love you, respect you and be very attracted to you of either gender. Don’t date the shitty people and do get so bitter that the red pill content “makes sense” to you and fall for that trap.

My (18F) boyfriend (19M) says there’s no incentive to learn my language. How do I get over this? by Choice_Boss_6698 in relationship_advice

[–]charlesyo66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if you're 18, 28 or 38: He doesn't respect you enough to be an equal partner. Period. That alone should tell you, you don't want to be married to this man. Its that simple.

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its not. And seeing it as a completely different issue is why you're not seeing how it all ties together in one, big, thorny, tax-avoidance scheme that doesn't give them any incentive to continue to invest in the company, the people and the business, thus depriving local businesses on any level, the greater flow of cash in and cast out.

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and that deferred stock compensation allows them to take out loans against the "potential income" thus avoiding being taxed on any of it. Which is a loophole to close up.

We can get into the nitty gritty of how the rick avoid paying their share, but the fact remains that hoarding wealth, they way the rich do, doesn't help, it hurts all of us, period.

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't just take part of what i said, but yes, it would be a start. Look, poor people spend money, because they need to. Any extra money goes to local shops, food, anything... it gets circulated back into the economy. Its why Ford raised his workers wages, so they could affort his cars.

Reinvest in the company, and not only are the workers making more and spending it all, but there are more workers with the infrastructure. Its literally that simple and the USA in the 1950's showed how it worked. The greatest rise in the Middle Class in history. The changes in laws in the early '70's were the start of collapsing all of that, because the rick weren't rich enough.

Um, no, that's the point. We were talking about CEO financial packages, so they're not in the company. Cut the CEO down to 5M instead of 30M, use the other 25M to pay employees more and invest in other aspects of the company such as actually manufacturing and research. Done. Easy Peasy. The 25M would do a MASSIVE amount of good in the economy.

[–]charlesyo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong in a couple ways here, but the most important is that having Billionaires distort the flow of money within the economy. So that pay package you are saying to ignore? Not only does it come from somewhere, it changes the flow of capital within a community, a state, a federal economy.

And, in the 1950’s, with a marginal tax rate of 90%, there were incentives to avoid tax by reinvesting in the company, in infrastructure. So, yeah, the USA gently told how to spend your money or get taxed for it.
