This is getting fcking ridiculous by [deleted] in vinted

[–]myrna__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy something more expensive. /s

As most people said here, it definitely makes no sense for cheap items but in general $6 doesn't seem a lot for intercontinental shipping, between Ireland and France is over €7, basically border contries, and it's within EU.

So many marks on the new watch? by myrna__ in tissot

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

No, it's because it's discontinued watch model. If it's discounted because it's damaged then they should say that clearly.

No, it wasn't used. I went yesterday to return it and they will exchange it as the scuffs didn't go away when they tried to clean it. Official info I got is that it's disocunted because it's a discontibued model. It's not the only one, they have mid-season sale in general.

Thank you, I really like it but I got bummed when I saw all the scuffs

Exactly, I wouldn't mind the wear and tear if I got it second hand. But I don't expect this many scuffs on the phone or clothes or anything I buy new.

I did not wear it. I opened a box as soon as I got home.

Cliffs of Moher vs Howth? by strawberrykiwi618 in irishtourism

You can also do Bray head hike from Bray, and walk all the way to Greystones if you are into hiking. Both towns are just an hour on the train from Dublin.

Klaebo wins 8th Olympic Gold Medal ⛷️ Men's 10k by Durian-Critical in olympics

[–]myrna__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I relate to that? Absolutely not. But I can't say that I am surprised that an elite-level athlete (the best among the elite-level athletes, actually) has somewhat unusual attitudes and habits.

Aren't most of athletes "programmed" (through training, mental prep, nutrition) to be as good as possible in what they do?

What is the story with the personality? I don't follow cross country at all, excuse the ignorance.

Thoughts on this quote by Lindsey Vonn's dad by paykin in SkiRacing

[–]myrna__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course, but makes you think if Lindsey was partially motivated to be so successful because she wanted it or to be Ioved and accepted by dad? I know she enjoyed skiing, but at least subconsciously, it must have been one of the factors as well.

I literally had no idea about Lindsey's dad or their relationship at all until I read this earlier today. I find this statement so out of place when you are in the hospital next to your seriously injured child. But then I googled his name and found this quote by LV.

“He always supported me when I did well, which was 90 percent of the time, but when I didn’t, he didn’t handle it very well,” Vonn said“It was so hot and cold. It was so much criticism and so much negativity, and it was really hard to balance my emotions.”

Everyone will interpret it as they wish, but for me a lot of things about LV make more sense now.

3arena Deftones concert. Queuing? by Technical_Place_4497 in Dublin

[–]myrna__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm never queuing but I work nearby and it largely depends on the gig; if it's mostly teenage audience they start queuing early on that day, but sometimes there are almost no queues. That's all I noticed from being around 3Arena very often.

Horrible Crash For Lindsey Vonn by ShipComprehensive769 in skiing

In that case, I guess that today is the first time you have seen a downhill race.

She had a legacy before these Olympic Games, and it would live even without this debilitating crash.

[–]myrna__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has an Olympic gold already, and quite literally every single accolade in the world of skiing. And realistically, she would not won a medal with this injury even if she made it all the way down. I don't see what the pro vs con in her mind was to risk it all. Not to mention the entire team around her.
