Unfiltered thoughts from a former bulimic | Irrational Optimist | Spartan Races, Surfing, & San Pellegrino

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

My personal measure of inflation is how much a case of San Pellegrino costs.

@dread_game Few.

Even when people use it, 99% aren’t controlling the flow of info in either direction.

Garbage in, garbage out. IMHO the future belongs to anyone running a private node.

@rolypolyistaken @tannerguzy American Eagle has a good tall section.

If you want streetwear/oversized, Abercrombie.

Alo and Champion make good quarter zips.

Go bespoke for suits and dress clothes.

@samclementt Impossible to predict what happens during a race, especially when it’s a “hybrid” event.

Lots of unknowns, easy to twist an ankle, cramp badly despite good nutrition, get sucked out with a chase pack, etc.

A lot of it comes down to mindset.

This is just techno-necromancy with extra steps

For most people, the best use of the @Grok app is turning old photos into videos, seeing old friends and family members come to life

women only believe in manifestation because men do literally everything

@rolypolyistaken n = 1, but this is twice as effective in big cities.

Social proof (“other women want him so I want him too”) + drama/ excitement.

The more you are favored by God, the harsher and more immediate your punishment for transgressions will be.

The modern Faustian bargain is abusing stimulants to sit under fluorescent lighting and update spreadsheets.

The best thing about surfing is how the community naturally gatekeeps it.

Gatekeeping is based and good, as it allows you to carefully curate your environment with only the best people.

@juicylifeforce This would (objectively) be the best outcome for most of them.

@BowTiedPassport My average date is 2-3 hrs and 1-2 drinks.

…or coffee, or ice cream, or dinner.

Just do what you already want to do and bring her with you instead of overcomplicating things.

@solReturn2God Brazilians, Venezuelans, etc are fun but not comparable long term.

I mostly date Argentinians (now) that came from Italy or Austria in the mid 1900’s

I just don’t ask what their grandparents were doing before they left Europe

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

@solReturn2God Too expensive =/= not worth the investment

I’ll keep dating Argentinians instead

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

@CoconutCopy Something something frame.

Don’t believe in this one personally, but I’m sure it’s all about the context - I see it as a nice thing if you’re married w/ kids.

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

@TheWarKitchen Northeastern Prep Nationalism

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

Side note- you can tell which were battlefield trophies since these were converted from “hatchet” to “spear” points during the 100 days war pre-Waterloo

It was meant to improve the piercing ability

Homage to my college years (history degree)

[Jake Bailey 🦅 @Bacob_jailey]

When I make it there will be signs, but not a Rolex or something dumb

If I ever poast a French cuirassier sword (taken at Waterloo) you’ll know
