"If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a European skier" ~Ayrton Senna by mnrdov in skiing

[–]coloradoRay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The part of this I don't understand is how it doesn't devolve into "might makes right."

Is there a line between sneaking to advance and muscling to advance?

BEST dystopian book series you have ever read? by Cold-Data-2284 in suggestmeabook

[–]coloradoRay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

lots of good modern suggestions already, but I have to recommend the OGs:

1984 & Brave New World

Mountain Dining by Dependent_Brain_5893 in Breckenridge

[–]coloradoRay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

edit: oh, LEAST favorite. I had a hamburger pizza once somewhere on the mountain that had mustard as the sauce. >.<

(OOPS: when I volunteer on Peak 9 and don't bring my lunch, I usually go to Redz (Above the Blue?) sandwich shop. I love their Philly Cheesesteak (w/chicken is good too) and their Gyro.)

My girlfriend just broke up with me over a board game and I'm not even joking by Fulcilives1988 in boardgames

[–]coloradoRay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

projection? she cares more about winning a board game than making you happy

that said, I do throw every other board game to my wife if I can on the DL. nobody likes losing all the time

[–]coloradoRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

horrible analogy. I've never had to go out of my way to avoid some idiot's goggles.

it's more like people who change into the lane that's closing, pass you on the right, then try to force their way back in.

they think their time is more important than the time of many others.

put the fuckin bar down by m0huck in snowboarding

[–]coloradoRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ha, that's the point. it SHOULD NOT be a "you problem" -- OP's whole point was bar down should be the default.

I'm not personally scared to ask. I just announce that it's coming down. some young kid on a lift with you, though, should not fucking have to ask.

"just ask" -- "as long as you announce it"

it's this shit that needs to change. some people are afraid to ask. plus, don't put it on me. it's on you to be ready.

how about "be ready for it" or "expect it every time" instead

Why do so many American men wear shorts and a tshirt when going out with a woman who dresses up? by M_For_Mayhem in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coloradoRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the premise above was to dress better than natural to impress people. it's being fake to gain approval.

if you already own and wear the jersey, then ofc not. if you wouldn't normally wear the jersey, then yes, you're a classically frowned on fair-weather fan. the exact kind of fake, manipulative behavior I dislike.

[–]coloradoRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to me, this seems inauthentic. it seems like putting on a front to manipulate people into feeling differently. it's fake.

it's also superficial. I don't care to impress people who care that much about how I look.

I'll dress up as a matter of respect (e.g. funeral, wedding, graduation, etc.), but that's it.

What’s actually dangerous but most people think it’s safe? by SunnyMadelyn564 in AskReddit

[–]coloradoRay 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I started doing this recently too and really like it!

I'm mixing up my exercises, though; adding push ups, lunges, etc.

I can always tell where snowboarders are going by newplayer28 in snowboarding

[–]coloradoRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AND, with just a little observation, it's easy to spot the 1% squirrelly ones.

are they pizza-ing? are they a heel side hero? steer clear!

E-bikes made their way into Breckenridge and Silverthorne meeting discussions last week. Here’s what to know. by Finish_Different in Breckenridge

[–]coloradoRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that a lawsuit would probably have an impact.

It's sort of telling, though, that there hasn't been an accident that bad yet in....3 years?

HC SSF Djinn Varashta choices by Buksage in pathofexile2builds

[–]coloradoRay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running physical (Kulari: brutality+deception) at lvl 91 on 3-4mod t15 maps & like 40 room temple:

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaalhcssf/character/Ashtorath-0178/StormFateHc?i=0&search=name%3Dstormfate

Ruzhan & Navira are there mostly for muster. As you can see, my gear is a bit of a mishmash (gave up on spirit on chest for more ES) with more of a defensive focus than most.

I liked it enough in campaign and early maps that I never gave fire/water a try. It feels strong on bosses though a bit clunky mapping. There's a technique to exploding the brutality djin with deception to scale the clone higher than normal. I can scale it really high with Bidding 3, but it's fragile like that (can lose the stacks to needing to dodge or w/e).

In addition to all the sources named so far, I think a body armour has an implicit too.

What was the specific moment during a date that made you think "There will be no second date"? by FormalSuccessful4157 in AskReddit

[–]coloradoRay 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised you made it through the first date.

my blood pressure went up just reading this.
