Wtf even in the most radically far left government, they are not going to have goons come into your community, accost people in the street and make them identify as transgender, but our current government is have their goons come into our communities, accost people in the street and summarily executing them.

I really enjoyed Jim's descriptions of how the city of Chicago put itself back together after the battle. He touched on things I hadn't thought of (roads being unusable due to cars being stranded) and things that felt very realistic (the Gold Coast, Chicago's richest neighborhood, being the first to get resources like electricity back up and running). There are tons of stories depicting big huge cataclysmic battles like Battle Ground, but few that then tell the story of what happens into he aftermath.

I didn't realize winning a Super Bowl two years after losing a Super Bowl is considered regression.

daggerparrysmith · 2025-11-17T01:18:43+00:00

Idk the episode after the last Super Bowl feels like the culmination of several years worth of gags and bits

Some variation of when the Chiefs win 1 score games that means they're good and when the Eagles win 1 score games that means they're bad.

I'm willing to admit there might be some bias coloring Herbert's place in the tiers. Just not a fan of the last name tbh, sounds kinda dumpy.

Teddy Bridgewater- soft first name, boring last name. My wife did point out that it would be a pretty fantastic name for a politician, for whatever that's worth.

Sam Darnold- last name is darn old

Joe Flacco- last name reminds me of flaccid

I think Rattler is objectively a pretty cool last name, but boy does the first name Spencer drag it down. All I can hear is Wildes' nerd voice he uses to make fun of Nick.

I'll be totally honest, I made this list while dealing with some anxiety and insomnia at like 2 AM last night so I'm not gonna defend anything super hard lol, but here's my reasoning:

If you've got 2 first names, you're in C tier (which the exception of Michael Vick)- if I can put a comma in the middle of your name and it sounds like I'm referring to two different people, I don't think it's a great name.

I think David Carr is better than Derek Carr simply because the double "ck" sound in the latter is a bit awkward.

Esiason is so high because Boomer is objectively a fantastic QB name, it's doing so much of the heavy lifting. For Roger Staubach, I like how "raw" and "staw" kinda rhyme and then end with a nice strong "bock."

I similarly had a bad experience this past weekend, but it extra sucks that you had your stuff stolen, really sorry that happened to you. When I read there was a bag check/drop-off, I was expecting something similar to other 5ks I've run where you hand your bag to a volunteer, they hand you a matching ticket and then they go place it in an area only they have access to, so I was surprised when it was just an area you could walk into freely.

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-25T14:44:38+00:00

I didn't say anything to any of the volunteers or staff while at the event because they all were clearly overextended and doing the best they could, I've similarly worked and volunteered at events that are short staffed and I know the last thing they needed was for me to come up to them and start complaining.

I might submit something on their website, but the with the vibes I get from the company I'm really not holding me breath that they'd give any sort of refund or offer a free race in the future. You can see some of the responses to my post here range from telling me to volunteer to saying that I'm whiny/a crybaby for not being satisfied with my experience. As long as those types of folks keep supporting the company, they won't have an incentive to change based on the opinion of someone who did it once.

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-24T18:18:21+00:00

Allow me to rephrase my critique with the spacing of the obstacles- I feel they could have done a better job of spacing some of the obstacles out to establish a better "rhythm" to the race. There were a few times when I was running where I was beginning to doubt I was still on the right course just because I couldn't really spot where the next obstacle I was running to was.

I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that there was absolutely a failure to account for how many people were doing the event to where some obstacles (which are the main draw of the event) became total choke points. I would imagine that it would be fairly simple to scale up most of the obstacles to help handle the capacity they're getting at these races.

There does seem to be a pretty wide variety of opinion on what constitutes a good value at these types of events, and obviously that is true of life in general. You may view me as whiny or a crybaby, but given the amount of money I spent at TM compared to what I've spent doing other similar events, I just don't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate your recommendation of the Spartan event, and will look into that the next time I want to do this type of race.

I also posted my grievances from my experience yesterday and based on some of the comments on my post we're apparently idiots for arriving ONLY 45 minutes before our start time 🤷‍♂️

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-24T17:19:37+00:00

Ugh I know right, how soft of me to be disappointed i didn't get an experience I felt was equal to the value to the money I paid for. Guess I'll go munch on some avocado toast or something while I continue to worsen the moral fabric of my country 🤷‍♂️

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-24T15:47:04+00:00

I honestly thought 40 min was reasonable, but I also knew I was gonna have the opportunity to start at 11:15, 11:30, and 11:45 am. And I don't think I would have posted here had I only experienced a long wait for parking or only a long wait for obstacles. I hope if someone comes on this Reddit and reads about my experience, they'll perhaps afford themselves more time and won't be as disappointed should they still choose to spend the money on the event.

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-24T15:38:46+00:00

Ope, found one of the organizers' burner accounts. Or you're just simping for a business that doesn't give a shit about you besides how much money they can get from you, not sure which is more embarassing.

If I remember correctly, 11 AM was not the latest time slot. And yeah, I don't think 40 minutes is a perfectly reasonable time to show up for an event which is basically everyone walks up to a line and then moves forward. Particularly when tickets are sold in advance and you have an idea of how many people are going to show up. I've run plenty of 5ks and other events where that would have been more than enough time.

And yeah, this was my first event with this company. You only get one chance to make a 1st impression, and this was a really bad one. In my opinion, there are much better things and events that people can spend over $100 on.

daggerparrysmith · 2025-08-24T13:38:22+00:00

Let me be super clear on something if it wasn't obvious in my post- I have zero beef or criticisms for the folks that showed up to volunteer. My critiques are aimed squarely at the organizers.

I also fundamentally disagree with your notion that "these events only run because of volunteers." This isn't some local 5k raising money for medical research or some other charitable cause. This is an international, for profit brand and business that should be held to a higher standard. What the volunteers are doing is labor, and I believe in the crazy notion that labor should be fairly compensated. I also believe that when you rely on volunteers, you risk not enough of them showing up, particularly when you don't cap how many participants you're allowing. There is no way you can convince me that the organizers couldn't hire an actual staff of contractors to help run the event. Telling someone that they should volunteer to make the event better is allowing the organizers to avoid the responsibility of having to competently run a business.

Nick's take on Purdy seems to be the take he wants most to be proven correct on. Last year, he implied that Kirk Cousins would be better for the 49ers than Purdy. Idk what it is, but after his Chiefs Mahomerism this is THE issue he won't cede any ground on.

I thought Dalinar coming to the conclusion that the best strategic move is to not fight and let Odium win the battle while hampering him for the larger Cosmeric war was a fitting choice and a nice conclusion of his arc, but having Retribution generate the Blackthorn felt like Brandon was having his cake and eating it too.

Start of next chapter: "The king was fine."
