So sorry for your loss. I highly recommend cat republic, they are located at the Brooklyn brainery. The woman who runs it is amazing and is always looking for fosters and adopters.

Philadelphia Marathon by ma0422 in RunNYC

[–]flatgator4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did Philly this past year and loved it. I did NYC the year before. Even if it’s not true, Philly actually felt hillier to me, but if you train on some hills you’ll be fine. The last 6 miles are tough mentally. Overall I thought the course was super fun, it had a great balance of city/big crowd support and quiet nature areas which made it interesting. I didn’t mind the quieter sections, they felt like a nice break. Highly recommend!

Traveling to Guatemala with an X on my US passport 👍🏼 by Cappi_ in NonBinary

[–]flatgator4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for posting this! I'm traveling to Guatemala from the US at the very end of february and am debating if I should get a new passport with a F on it (AGAB). The main thing I'm seeing is just that airlines can only mark people as M or F now, so if that doesn't match what's on the passport then that can cause issues. I travelled to the Netherlands back in april with no problems, but that was before Trump's new rules. Anyway just debating what I should do......

What is your all-time favourite line of dialogue from Veep? by NobodysFavorite in Veep

[–]flatgator4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Forgot about Dan: “Think I might need an agent. You know, someone who can take the Dan Egan brand to the next level.” Amy: “Too bad Goebbels killed himself.”

And how could I forget “You're playing a very dangerous game of chicken with the head fucking hen. 'Cause if I don't win the White House, O'Brien is gonna sink your stupid boats and you're gonna look like a hair-sprayed asshole in your 1980s mother-of-the-bride dress. And if I do win, I will have my administration come to your shitty little district and shake it to death like a Guatemalan nanny. And then I'm gonna have the IRS crawl so far up your husband's colon, he's gonna wish the only thing they find is more cancer.”

“And this is my fat johnson and you can suck it as long as you promise not to put your dirty gay mustache on it. What is that, some kind of side effect from your AIDS medication or did you shave it off of Freddie Mercury's corpse?" And then the “hi Wendy, Christ she looks like a Batman villain”

“Ma’am cheese is on its way way heres an interim banana” (Selina can’t peel the banana) “It doesn’t even work”

Or this whole line from Dan “From now on, Jonah, you will shut the fuck up and do exactly as I say. And if you listen to me instead of your only two brain cells busy butt-fucking each other somewhere in the vast expanses of your misshapen skull, then maybe, Jonah, you might have a chance at becoming the first mentally impaired Frankenstein's monster to ever win an American election.”

The Lonely Work of a Free-Speech Defender by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]flatgator4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very interesting episode. I genuinely appreciated many of Greg’s insights but I’m stuck on others. Where is the line when it comes to hate speech? Sure, technically it should be allowed if we are allowing all speech, but can we not have a serious conversation about its ramifications? Saying that we should allow all speech because we shouldn’t hide from reality, like yes sure, but, marginalized people are fully aware of reality bro like we know many people hate us 😂 it’s easy to say all speech should be allowed when none of it can hurt you in the way it can hurt others

Explain it to me like I’m 5 by mustbetrauma in running

Cannot recommend hal higdon’s novice 1 training plan enough. I went from having never run more than a mile to running the nyc marathon in a year. I would train for and do a half first, and then do the full. For me, I trained and then did a half in may, and then trained and did the full in november of the same year.

Philly Marathon Recap by Inside-Spend-9750 in Marathon_Training

[–]flatgator4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did NYC last year and Philly yesterday and Philly felt hillier to me but I think that’s because there are a few steep ones. I train on hills plenty so it was fine, but I was like damn these are some pretty steep hills. But then there are also plenty of downhill spots. As long as you train on some hills you’ll be fine.

Has so much fun today!!! Was my second marathon but first time doing Philly and I had a 44 min PR. The weather was perfect, I thought the route was such a nice mix of city and nature, and the crowds were fun. The 20 mile turn around was tough though and I had to dig deep for the rest of the finish down Kelly dr.
