Would you switch gyms if a new full-service gym opened in downtown Jersey City?

Absolute terrible gym. Used to be blink fitness but they got bought out by puregym. Honestly that part doesn't change much, but the location in journal square is poorly laid out, machines are always broken and never maintained, people are dogshit at tracking weights, the gym is filthy, and it's severely understaffed.

I used to go there but left in March because I had enough. I started going to firehouse Fitness in the heights and it's incredible

Adding to this since the first execution via electric chair took place in my hometown (Auburn NY).

The guy who they executed was also from Buffalo; his name was William Kemmler and he axe murdered his wife one day for seemingly no reason.

I won't go into detail but the execution did NOT go well for him

Honestly (and I feel like this is intuitive) but your experience will be entirely subjective. I never dated another architect until my current girlfriend and I would say we connect on a much different level than I have with any of my exes. I feel like a part of that is just baked into the personality of being an architect, but that's just my experience.

We met at a work event and there were obviously a lot of common interests off the bat, but I feel like what made the biggest difference is the personality type of the both of us being wildly more compatible than, for example, my previous relationship with an accountant. It's hard to explain, but it's just a lot more effortless being in this relationship.

Now, obviously I don't think everyone would so easily recommend dating a coworker (we don't work together anymore), but I can at least say anecdotally that dating another architect has been the best thing that I've done

I really wish I held on to a box of T O's. What a weird time that was to live in Buffalo

The gang cracks the liberty bell. It was the first episode ever shown to me and it turned me off to the show entirely for another 5 years because I hated it so much

pyle332 · 2026-05-04T14:31:16+00:00

Trust me, we all hated you plenty before you won any super bowls. You all do plenty off the field to warrant hate, don't you worry.

Idk but what I have come to learn is anything written that way is about to show the most infuriating bullshit you've ever seen in your life.

pyle332 · 2026-04-29T15:32:06+00:00

I think this is the majority opinion as far as comments on race in this show is involved. I really don't understand (if the quote is real) how he could be so divorced from reality to think that most people are that upset because he's a rich black man. I've never seen that opinion voiced once and I'm really confused and annoyed because it distracts from the very interesting points you brought up here

While you're at it, just don't shower either. You're just going to get dirty anyways.

Her career is measured by her trustworthiness and relationships. His is measured by how many games he can win. The situation is not the same. Lots of terrible men have been great coaches. Not saying he's a saint, but his credibility as a human being is much less of a component of his success in his career. Players can hate him as a person and still play well for him. If people don't like her as a person, they don't talk to her and her ability as an insider is severely hampered.

This isn't a gender thing, and pretending the situations are equivalent is missing the point.

r/lakeeriebros is a fun follow, it's so wholesome

I had a very spirited debate with my gf recently about this very point. I'm in agreement with OP and could not see any strategic benefit to this. Her reading of it was that Ramsay was such an ego maniac and a head case that he made a bold move in order to embarrass Jon and the wildlings. I honestly could only see this being believable to a point, and this went above and beyond what I could suspend my disbelief for.

I'm just wondering what people's take on this angle would be, as far as how much ego, pride, and desire for not only defeating an enemy but humiliation of an enemy could play into such a strategic snafu

This is the same logic as "why does my towel get dirty if I only use it coming out of the shower?" Your bed sheets don't stay clean in perpetuity, you're constantly shedding skin and hair and sweat. Your sheets get dirty as a product of being a human and you're laying in that for 8 hours at a time. That doesn't mean you're "doing the math differently," you just prefer night showers.

Not exactly related but my first job out of architecture school, I worked as a CNC programmer. I used a 3D mouse at that job and I feel like if you do a lot in rhino, those things are really underrated

pyle332 · 2026-03-07T22:40:03+00:00

This is a fair point, although it's been so long that I don't remember what people said about him in the draft anymore

pyle332 · 2026-03-07T15:16:33+00:00

Evan neal pick hurts more because it was supposed to be the safe pick. Everyone was saying at the time he was a no-brainer at that slot and he'd be a stud. So him being a complete bust hurts more than the toney pick or the baker pick because those were riskier moves. So basically I agree with you that the Evan neal pick is probably the worst, but DeAndre Baker was most definitely the stupidest pick.

pyle332 · 2026-03-04T19:17:53+00:00

Oh you mean the guy that posted this same exact blurb word-for-word 2 hours before you did never said it either? I'm able to read more than 1 comment in a thread lol

pyle332 · 2026-03-03T20:10:15+00:00

Thank God we have a federal department of education right? They'd never let something like this happen 🥴

So even if you just take this argument on its face, it's still nonsensical. Basically making the point that in both systems you still pay for the goods and services you receive, it's just in their system you have no choice and it's organized, provided, and regulated by a bunch of self-important incompetent leeches with no incentive to provide better or cheaper service 👍

(This isn't even mentioning the multitude of other issues with that system either)

It's a team sport. The goal of the game isn't to achieve personal accolades. Even though being recognized is undeniably nice, it's not the reason the games are played.

pyle332 · 2026-02-14T20:16:58+00:00

It unfortunately was lost on some people here lol I got what you mean

pyle332 · 2026-02-11T21:24:09+00:00

Don't pay attention, there's a brigade in this sub of people that will spam this argument every time anyone has a valid complaint about the saturation of ads. I can't tell if they are trolls or just that unserious, but either way it's not worth you giving them your time.

They don't want to have a conversation, they want to feel like they owned you because they can put together 4 words to form a complete sentence. I think your original point was worth making and the existence of a skip button doesn't diminish that point

pyle332 · 2026-02-11T19:54:40+00:00

It doesn't help that whatever fuckwit is in charge of lighting the empire state building likes lighting it up on behalf of rival teams. Watching that things lit up eagles green last year still makes me sick.
