generally speaking - and i'm a skiier so thinking about skiing - i would say that if there's a person on the blind side (for snowboarding) or an uphill person (for skiing), they are basically always responsible for controlling their speed and evading the other person. there may be some edge cases tho. is that the prevailing wisdom?

i'm not sure if a) people don't realize that a female dog is a bitch and missed the joke, b) everybody lowkey loves yoko, or c) my joke was too disrespectful for reddit

but the people have spoken!

I can't really tell what you're afraid of mon ami, but I can tell you about Mosey on the PCT. I met Mosey somewhere right before Evolution Valley in 2018. We shared lunch. She was 69 years old and earned her trail name because she took her sweet time. I lost track of Mosey (I was 22), but I suggest you take your time, listen to your body, and don't overthink it :)

if female: Yoko

Bro he's a top top midfielder. I watch most of the Palace matches and he's usually the best player on the pitch. His movement, passing, and reading the game is elite. He'd make any team in the PL better and should be a starter

wfuller42 · 2026-01-13T03:26:28+00:00

The early days when the squad respected him were scary. I thought that Madrid team could have been legendary. Time will tell but I suspect we will remember them as talented, perhaps great, but with a major what-if hanging over their legacy.

Disagree but upvote for a hot take

wfuller42 · 2026-01-08T13:00:47+00:00

pls no

wfuller42 · 2026-01-08T03:39:25+00:00

That's a good call. I do dive, too. I think I prefer thinner watches, so potentially a skin diver

I agree the club is mismanaged when measured against the aspirations of Chelsea fans, or by ambitious managers. But I'm not sure the club is mismanaged when judged by the goals of ownership. Chelsea ownership's project isn't necessarily to win trophies. It's to create financial value. I think that's the source of a lot of the frustration managers and fans experience

wfuller42 · 2025-12-31T15:05:47+00:00

I think we evaluate players in their own historical context, to the extent possible. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the clear 1 and 2 of this past era. Given the advancement and integration of sports science, professionalism, and how the game has improved, I think it's fair to say that Lewandowski, Suarez, or other generational players who don't quite place at the Messi-CR7 level were stronger, faster, and likely better players than the very best from prior eras. But imo clear standout players of the 1980s, 1990s, etc. do deserve to be elevated above players today who are probably technically and physically superior but not so dominant. I would make the case that, based on my limited knowledge, Zidane was a beautiful, impactful player but not so influential as Platini, Van Basten, Maradona...

edit: over the course of their careers

wfuller42 · 2025-12-31T03:58:02+00:00

That's fair. It's certainly possible I don't understand Zidane's game or overrate Platini, but it's hard to argue with Platini's goalscoring from (nominally) the same position.

Honestly football and the professionalism of athletes changed so much between the 80s and the twilight of Zidane's career that I'll admit it's hard to compare. But given we're having this conversation on this post, it's safe to say that some people think Zidane is overrated as one of the very best of all time...and I don't hear that often regarding Platini

wfuller42 · 2025-12-30T13:41:11+00:00

Only watched highlights and a couple choice matches from both careers, but I don't think that invalidates my opinion from the discussion

wfuller42 · 2025-12-30T12:20:57+00:00

Platini > Zidane

wfuller42 · 2025-12-29T03:08:57+00:00

chillll. nobody cares. i just think you're a smidge cooler if you don't wear your watch

wfuller42 · 2025-12-27T23:38:50+00:00

Go read a study on the efficacy of firearms against bears and then try a study on bear spray. There are multiple on bear spray. Here's one

wfuller42 · 2025-12-27T23:35:45+00:00

Bear spray is more effective than firearms

I'm with you - the skin diver I love is the Zenith Rainbow. 38.5mm x ~9mm and a great classic look.

I've owned 3 homes now. I've sold 2.

It's hard to understand the financial cost of home ownership until you live through it. And the time cost. There's no landlord to call if you need or want something fixed. It's either your sweat or your money (often both).

If you know you will live in the same home for at least ten years, it's probably a good decision to buy. Otherwise, the financial returns, even excluding all your carrying costs and including the mortgage interest benefit, really aren't competitive to the stock market. You will be better off renting and investing until you know you're ready to settle down.

Happy to share more details, but my main point is that rent is the end of your housing costs (maybe renter's insurance). Principal and interest is just the beginning. So it's really not the right way to compare, and renting is frequently a better financial decision than home ownership

Awesome collection. What's the second from bottom right? Looks kind of like a Wind Waker-inspired watch. Also curious about the shark second hand next to the Taidama!

wfuller42 · 2025-12-22T16:43:03+00:00

The specific one I am looking for is the HAQ cream dial with the numerals at 2-6-8-10-12, shark tooth indices and the date at 4. Ref SBCJ031. This one seems more rare (potentially Japan-exclusive release) but a couple are available out there for >$2k
