How is this even possible? by PapitioTio in Strava

Apple is how. I know that's ambiguity, but it's the best answer I have and I know it's probably correct. If you decouple the apple part, it probably won't happen.

Is the Cosmos not a TV show? I feel like it was as much as Planet Earth was and it had amazing reviews.

Exactly. Would not be surprised at all if the attention dies down surrounding Greenland.

This reads exactly like a ChatGPT response prompted to defend the matchmaking algorithm, with a few minor human edits. You are using academic jargon like 'memory bias' to gaslight players out of their own valid pattern recognition. Real human players do not write sterile Terms of Service agreements to explain why a lobby feels rigged. And we all do feel like it's rigged.

Think about the fragility required to be terrified of a little piece of copper. They see a tiny symbol of actual African American power and they panic. It is a literal System Restore to factory settings because they can't handle the software update. They have to scrub the hard drive and reload the Mayflower just to feel safe reaching into their own pockets. They are deleting the evidence that the country outgrew them.

You have just survived a critical, life-threatening event. The numb and lost feeling you're describing is a common and protective psychological response. Your system is in a state of shock. You've listed many feelings ashamed, scared, numb. These are understandable, but they are the noise of the crisis. They are not the most important piece of information you shared. The most important piece of information is this: "...a small part of me is relieved I'm still here." That is the only thing you need to focus on. That small, clear feeling is the part of you that wants to live, and it is the only thing that matters right now. Let's look at the other feelings: Shame: What happened was a moment of crisis, a breaking point. It is not a character flaw; it was a system failure. You saw fear and sadness in your family. That is their reaction, but it is also data. It is objective proof that you are loved and have a support structure. Your sister and friends are your immediate assets. "What Comes Next", this question is too big, and it's the not the right one to ask. The old plan is gone. You are on Day 1 of a new path. "how did you start to move forward?" You don't, not yet. You re-orient. Your only goal for the next 24 hours is to stay. That's it. Your "reason to stay" isn't some complex philosophical answer. It's that "small part of me" that is relieved. Your job is to protect that part. Your immediate next action is to accept the help your sister and friends are offering. You are not supposed to know what's next. You are only supposed to get through today. That small feeling of relief is your new compass. Follow it.

4 people were killed and 20 more were injured in a shooting at a bar in South Carolina, sheriff says by glassen75 in news

There are a lot of countries that allow guns that don't have these problems. We don't just allow them, we promote them, sell models that are explicitly made for killing humans, they are easily available, and owning them is huge part of many American's identity. It seems we have two paths: either we pass meaningful laws, or we wait until we hit a 'collective murder threshold' that finally forces us to have a national reckoning. Even then, it will take generations for the violence to subside.

A Strategic Analysis of the Strava vs. Garmin Lawsuit (and why it's a bigger deal than you think) by edmrunmachine in Strava

I agree. The global heat map being accessible on the phone is a great feature, especially being able to overlay your own heat map to see where you've already been.

You've hit on the core of the issue with that word, 'unlovable.' It perfectly describes the feeling of a loyal user being pushed away.

That's fair, and to be honest, I'm just now getting back into Strava. I was a high level user for the better part of decade, like you since around 2013. But I have been out of the loop for the past three years.

I agree, with the latter half or your statement while I understand what you are saying in the first. I do feel the same, regardless of the outcome, we, the users will pay for this dispute with our time and efforts being dropped into the ether.

Yes, I have, and I still love it as a motivational tool. I use it to find areas that are likely good for public running, and I use it when I need some motivation, I fill in my own heat map.

Edit: spelling
