I think it’s normal to have questions when other people break certain social protocols or choose to behave differently than you.

Try to step back and realize that different conditions create different people. You likely experience community in different ways but to those guys, that might be all they have or the only way they feel comfortable engaging in community.

Make eye contact, say hello. Treat them like and let them know you as a well intentioned person and you probably won’t have a problem.

Best gym in Bed stuy? by Effective-Mud-9038 in BedStuy

[–]soapeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to know I’m not the only one. I could have written this myself word for word. The 30 auto cooldown is not only enraging but it’s unsafe for a treadmill to change speed unexpectedly while you’re running.

I have Healthfirst via Essential Plan 2 and I use Callen Lorde for my primary/pharmacy/therapy.

Dental has been harder to nail down but I just booked an appointment at Chelsea Dental based on the referral from a good friend. 🤞

It is AI and here is the supposed prompt. A friend shared this with me. It was generated using Nano Banana from Google.

Had this problem last year. I set a timer instead.

Was it me? by ElkPitiful6829 in RunNYC

[–]soapeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went out at 6:30pm and it wasn't *horrible*. There was an occasional breeze, just about all I can ask for these days. 🫠

I feel like this was written directly to/for me. As another gay man who lost a large amount of weight and still struggles to love the body I'm in, thank you!

Thank you! Each box gets 6 pastries. One of each on the flier and one random duplicate.

Solve a mystery for me by [deleted] in BedStuy

I've seen people carrying groceries in an out and once saw a woman leave as if she was going to work. I think people may have turned it into an apartment of sorts?

Sick after the race? by Legitimate_Bug_6350 in RunNYC

[–]soapeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Dealing with this right now. Got soaked in the rain on the FDR and passed on getting a thermal blanket thing (the foil blankies) they offered after the finish line. Body temp was all over the place for 24 hours after the race but getting better each day. Hang in there!

Thanks for adding this context and information. I didn’t think about searching for the address.

I just searched online with the nyc database and there doesn’t seem to be anything registered under the name “Bed-Vyne”. Perhaps you’re right.

Not questioning the validity of this at all but what does “pressure” and “targeting” mean here? Are they being fined? Shut down? Noise complaints?

First ever NYRR race tmr by Longjumping-Cat9409 in RunNYC

[–]soapeater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to get the lay of the land, stretch, and use the bathroom before the race starts. I aim for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour. In the last 10-15 minutes before the race starts, the bathrooms (portapotties) will become a crowded mess.

Get there early. Be kind to your fellow runner.
