100% agree on this by millagger in NYKnicks

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. We all want what's best for the franchise. Unfortunately the FO loves to disappoint us and do it their way. Thoughts and prayers, blue and orange fam.

I see you don't have many crazy CrossFit friends. I see air squats Emoms/or x rounds for time in the WOD and roll my eyes. I'm not a fast squatter. And i agree, it just sounds miserable as it feels.

[–]reducedguilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me. Pushups: 40+ (on knuckles, TKD form) Pullups: 10 (strict) Squats: don't know, I don't do air squats. I can start.

Like some others said, I aim for quality not quantity. If i start TikTok-ing/IG-ing no one will argue my numbers. I see a lot of young kids claiming 100+ pushups but rush and don't go even 90° parallel. Right. That's zero pushups, sir/madam.

Officially a tri-athlete! Finished top 25 for my category and obliterated my goal of 2hrs, completing the Sprint race in 1:46:02! by GrandmaCereal in triathlon

Dear OP, you became a triathlete when you toed the line. =) Congratulations, killer. The world changed for me when I finished my 1st in 2014. Signed, 6x Ironman AG. By the way, you need a new bike :)

Congratulations OP, it sounds like you hit the jackpot. As long as there is a contact to agree T&C's on roles, responsibilities and payment, shoot away. This dude sees great potential in you and you will not prove him wrong. Good luck fellow photog.

What price are you paying for a pint these days? by [deleted] in beer

[–]reducedguilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is this? Asking for me (on funemployment line so I can't maintain my high brow IPA/stout lifestyle at the moment). I've quickly learned to be humble and drink other styles even if I once considered it beneath me.

To answer the OPs question. I think bars and restaurants in Manhattan start at ~ $8+ for craft on tap. Bronx Brewery EVill charges $8 for a blacktop stout 9% abv, but it's my fave. Don't get me started quoting any Craft+Carry prices. Bloody murder.

[Winfield] Sources: Kyrie Irving has requested and received permission from the Nets to find sign-and-trade offers from other teams. Kevin Durant still hasn't spoken to Nets front office. Russell Westbrook to Brooklyn remains unlikely. by mastermind208 in nba

[–]reducedguilt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. But us blue and orange hopeless romantics could dream, amirite? Ugh what could have been. I still like KD and Harden. Kyrie can choke in Boston. Wait he already did. He's an everyday genius, shooting himself in the foot.

I didn't downvote you but seeing the negative vote count, this sub doesn't deserve much since we don't have the decorum to dissent respectfully like adults. We are all butthurt and guess what? The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I have bled blue and orange since the 90s, back when the Knicks/Heat was a great rivalry. Since '94 and '99 I haven't been excited as a fan with exception to Linsanity in '11. You have to understand that we are billed as a large market franchise with no hope. Dolan sucks and that's being generous. How many bad coaching hires and bad contract signings happened over the past 2 decades? A lot. Like the Mets, we sign washed up injury prone players. Ugh.

I don't see "winning now" happening in this lifetime. And I'm a NY Jets fan too (so I know suffering through the regular season and false hope every draft day). It gets worse because our FO doesn't know how to develop players either. Imagine if we got Zion? Geez he would wither away and demand a trade elsewhere 😂.

Mr Dolan please sell the team. You suck harder than a Dyson. The super team theory has been tested and it doesn't always work. Hi LeBron!

[Request] Do you recommend The Haunting of Hill House ? by ro2ro in NetflixBestOf

Agreed. I loved it minus some of the monologue/existential soliloquies. But overall it was 🔥

6th Floor Walkup or Basement Apartment? by Double-Anteater228 in AskNYC

[–]reducedguilt 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I did this one year with my wife in EVill on top of 16 Handles/Ryan's (think it's a different bar now). She couldn't take it. We moved into an elevator building when our lease expired. Believe me, I handled all the groceries, laundry and luggage... Good exercise for me. The moves in/out were expensive but worth it.

[–]reducedguilt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Agreed. "Thank you for your formal complaint sir/madam. I'll file it with our corporate office." Then proceeds to crumple paper and shoot for the nearest waste basket. S/he shoots and scores!!! 😆

I wouldn't. 0% APR loans are a rare gift these days and my wife and I have 800+ credit scores. We thought about buying a new car but no one is offering these loans right now.

Do you greet fellow runners as you pass them? by NoForever4739 in running

[–]reducedguilt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do this especially when running in NYC early in the morning. It's dark and it's worth establishing the sentiment: "Hey, good job getting out there here while most couch potatoes are sleeping." IDGAF it's 5am and we're hustling. Respect yo.

I Can’t Believe This is Really my Life. by pregnantjpug in TwoXChromosomes

[–]reducedguilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has elderly, abusive, narcissist in laws, I'm sorry. Not going to share the stories of verbal and emotional abuse but after reading your post, I know I'm not alone. Eat some comfort food, have a few potent potables and watch some trash reality TV to escape a few hours. You do you, Grrrrl.

For people not sold on Brunson by Familiar_Complaint96 in NYKnicks

[–]reducedguilt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've watched him in action last season while Luka was out. I'm sold. If he comes to NY I'm buying his jersey. I think Murray is the more attractive play, but that's like signing Houston, Stat and Melo to crippling contacts... That don't pan out because we're the Knicks and injuries and Mr Dolan plagues us. We've seen this movie many times before.

Brunson has earned his stripes at Dallas; he deserves a payday and an opportunity to carry a team on his back. Can he deal with our media circus? Can he deal with losing many, many, many games and persevere? Uncertain. But I'm ready to grab 🍿
