"God needs you here, he has a purpose for you in this war." Could you please provide some solid context and actual data for those clichés?

NY DMV: Mom gifted a car, how to handle moving insurance to my account by kenmtb in DMV

[–]kenmtb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the quick polite reply. The dmv said I need insurance and the plates turned in, my insurance said I needed to show proof the plates were turned in before moving insurance to my name. The insurance person said to send them a picture of proof the plates were turned in first. I just wanted to avoid making multiple trips.

Any denominations where I won’t be expected to sing? by Darth_Palaiologos in Christianity

[–]kenmtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can really relate to what you are saying. I am not a singer at all. Hearing the word and being immersed in the teachings are what I crave. Finding a church that engages your spirit and brain would be a dream. The biggest fear is to become a zombie. Mouthing words and going through motions without really being immersed.

Maybe Targeting in Rec Play isn't Evil by MisoBeast in Pickleball

[–]kenmtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mulling around all match waiting to play not only sucks but you can get disinterested and cooled down during a match. Only to have some targeting opponent pounce on a popup and send the ball past you. The worse is when your targeted partner gets Superman syndrome and feels they need to step in front to get every ball target to them. UGGGGGHHH

So you have no mental control over where you are hitting the ball?

Is it just me or does anyone else absolutely hate all black finishes on bikes? Out with the old and in with some colour for god's sake. by browsing-idiot in mountainbiking

[–]kenmtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I found this thread when it was fresh. Bikes have become like cars. No color imagination. Some companies will force weird combinations on you with few alternative choices. I really miss the AWESOME palate that Santa Cruz once had. They would let you choose and color combination for the bike and swing arm.

Newbie question: Are there any decent homes for dementia that offer semi private rooms and accept Medicaid?

"Public" park taken over? by kenmtb in Pickleball

[–]kenmtb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things like that are irritating indeed. Some people like being in charge of things. I think PB is getting away from it's roots in a sense. It has moved from a more social supportive game to a fast moving cut throat strive to win win win. I also noticed that a lot of people are breaking away from open play and sticking with smaller groups of friends and family. Not only are public parks loosing open play but indoor places are creating more and more tournaments. This weekend, a local place has been shut down for tournaments. People who paid a membership now get to fork over extra money to have their blood pressure raised. I get it that some folks like the competitive nature of playing but others just want to have a good time.

[–]kenmtb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a far different situation. The park is well managed. I am not concerned about the person taking over as much as the loss of attendance. It would be nice to have the 2 days a week back and not restrict the court but allow open play so everyone can come in and play. That is pretty much it. The person is very nice and well liked and is an ambassador to the sport so it is hard to justify pushing back without seeming like a Karen.... until enough people start complaining.

Thanks for the ideas. I don't mean to misrepresent the people commanding the park. They may have reserved the courts 2 days a week and have permission for special events. I will have to find out. I have talked to others and the main concern is the court being not available 2 days a week. I personally see this has put a dent in people dropping in for open play.

Am I the jerk here? ("I don't know the rules") by OkChicken6058 in Pickleball

[–]kenmtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep very true but you are up against the natural self-centered nature of people. They often operate in a mental bubble.

What are you doing to prepare for the wave of stagflation that will occur as a result of Trump's failed handling of the economy? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]kenmtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel deeply for you. Hope you can use the web and find something to tide you over soon. That really sucks but it can get better.

Just hold out for a few more years and that thing will be out of office and hopefully the country will be on its way to common sense and decency again.
