I will admit that I’m an American who’s getting into soccer because of this World Cup, but I don’t give a shit because I’m genuinely excited to watch so much soccer and run so many miles and make so much bread this fall.
Long runs around town just feel like work. Yeah they’re fun and there’s a bunch of hills around, but there’s a certain bit of magic that I feel every time I run on trails that can never be captured while road running. Makes me feel like a little kid again.
So close to being able to run on the trails again I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT! Progress as of late has been steady. The “long runs” are slowly getting longer 🙏
Still trying to decide on a Premier League team to root for. It may take an entire season to decide but the thought of rooting for Brighton sounds mighty nice.
You can’t just throw the word protein in front of a food and actually expect it to be healthy 😂 Like a high protein ground turkey lasagna is still a fucking lasagna with 1500 calories (give or take) per serving 😂
@JackMac That’s a narrow mindset. We dump money into everything, but money doesn’t correlate to skill development. It starts at the lowest level, and the US doesn’t have that because those “with the most talent” get expedited far too early so that the shmucks can make money off them
This mindset is the exact reason why the US is dog shit and will continue to be dog shit. “Let’s just throw the best athletes and the most money at players, that’ll surely work because developing players doesn’t REALLY matter, right??”
Every four years we take the best 11 athletes in every other country and put them up against the 4000th best athletes in America, and see if we can win. It's a crazy exercise.
@Mikesyabud@AntEvansMMA Hahaha ESPN wrote an article about it. He was found guilty IN IRELAND TWICE!!! Not anywhere else, but in the city he grew up in.
If you are confused by the term “rape culture,” this week's UFC is a perfect explainer.
Conor McGregor is a rapist. He viciously attacked a woman; assaulted her so badly the paramedic who examined her testified to being shocked at the bruising.
Yet everyone involved in this week's event are presenting it as business as usual. With notable exceptions inc @lthomasnews, @PetesyCarroll , @benfowlkesMMA and @mmaonpoint, there is a silent agreement to pretend this vile crime never happened.
And THAT is rape culture: when a horrific, proven finding shrugged off as an inconvenient footnote - because the perpetrator is famous, profitable and drives clicks.
I bet the women in your lives are real proud of you, fellas.
@Xfinity any reason why our wifi has been off for 2 days straight??? And we can’t get anybody out here for 2 weeks??? And we’re STILL PAYING FOR YOUR NON EXISTENT INTERNET????
To this day for Share Aura- I've never:
- Asked someone to use/download my app (0 outbound)
- Asked someone to promote my app (0 promotion)
Every single user of the app has downloaded it on their own, or DM'd me to get access to a beta
Over time- this matters so so much
