Fuck
... she should not have done it with a ruptured cruciate ligament... -

Truthfully, I can’t understand how it got to this point. Where were the trainers and doctors? Surely someone advised her that she may do irreparable damage to her body in terms of like, basic mobility?! I really hope she’s okay, but I also question her sanity.

@Chap I can see why she pushed herself but this is devastating. I hope she’s ok.
Yeah of course, would have been the most brilliant end of her career…
-
@sabergirl this. Plus, the actual winner Breezy Johnson and the two medalists Emma Aicher and Sofia Goggia are relegated to an afterthought and don't get the acclaim and attention they deserve.

I used him as an info source when looking for a new leather jacket, but when he started going into who should and shouldn’t be wearing certain styles he totally lost me forever. It came off as “I’m the ultimate authority for everyone about everything,” and to me, that attitude means I shouldn’t trust you about anything.
It’s like the guys at work who tell me how long they’ve been doing this job within 30 seconds of meeting me. I immediately don’t trust you.

@ZackB I note a man of sophistication in that Saints pic! Are you a New Orleans resident?
-
@StarsSuck I am not, I’m from Alabama so no NFL team but my best friend is from New Orleans, what about you?
-
@ZackB sadly no. If my heart has a home though, that's the place. I'm down there several times a year and have been to quite a few Saints games. I'm just outside Philly in the middle of a deep freeze.

@mclaincausey absolute garbage

@mclaincausey Bummer. Same thing happened to me when I visited Ko Samui; was there for 4 days and experienced nothing weather-wise besides torrential rain and cold winds. At least the hotel was luxurious and had amazing food, hope the same goes for you.

If you’re trying to get me to open a spam email, you might want to think of a better name
On the contrary, these sorts of scams rely on the recipient of the scam email being a complete moron. They do better business when their emails are only opened and acted upon by complete idiots, rather than make things too convincing and end up wasting time on sophisticated marks who will figure out something is wrong later down the line.

@mclaincausey downvote (for the weather, not the location)

Here’s one to share. I’ve recently got back into G-Shocks and joined the appropriate subreddit. Came across this thread:
should I return my G-Shock because Apple Watch?My reply:
I do really appreciate what the Apple does but I think I’m just a bit fed up ATM.
-
Hate the idea of an Apple watch. I look at my phone more often than I'd prefer anyway. Plus they are ugly as fuck.
-
@NickD I've had one since they came out in 2015. It took this long to come to that realization. Allso, I'm a bit cranky today so grain of salt
-
I sympathize with the sentiment, but as soon as someone starts talking about alphas and betas I lose interest altogether.
I haven’t ever been tempted to add MORE smart devices into my life. The phone already sucks so much time out of my life and ushers in more surveillance and consumerism.
Anyhoo—I’m all for a gshock. I don’t love that a lot of the new ones are integrating so many smart features and necessitating the app to do what they do.
