As far as I know PEDs don’t affect VO2. But then again, I’m not sure about that.

You used “feint” as in a boxer feints with his left, when you meant “faint”, as in barely audible.

I hear you, I really do. It’s just that some things are legitimately horrifying and shameful. This isn’t like the steroid era of baseball, this is... wait a minute! I’m being trolled, huh!? I suck at the internet dammit.

Paint with a really broad brush much?

Heheheh, I consider myself a true believer. The thing is, no matter the level of religious commitment, consuming popular media requires one become comfortable with creators and commentary treating our general outlook with a bit of contempt. It’s become just part of the equation if I want to participate in modernity.

Yeah, man, I use it every day. I’m very fluent, to the point that natives usually assume my parents are like Cuban or something. (I speak with a Caribbean accent too, served my mission in Puerto Rico almost 22 years ago) but I don’t seem to be improving much anymore. I’m to the point where nobody corrects me even…

I’ve come to truly believe that equally intelligent, equally rational, equally informed, equally decent, equally loving, equally good, equally non-bigoted people can sincerely disagree about really important stuff. Stuff that to both sides appears to self-evidently be the way they see it.

Idaho is a pretty great place to live. Yeah we’re fairly conservative, but in a pragmatic sort of way. Politics up here aren’t the rabid, scorched earth, take no prisoners, total war they seem to be in a lot of other places. I guess I can’t speak for some parts up near the panhandle, but that’s what it feels like in…

Outside of border states or places like Miami, especially in the western half of the US, 90% of the time you find a white dude who speaks Spanish he’s a Mormon who served as a missionary in a Spanish-speaking country. Nothing freaks Latinos out quite like them seeing an uber-gringo like me start dropping fluent…

Wow, you’re a dick, bro.

They don’t flaunt the rules, they flaunt their like cleavage and such. Advertising laws? Those they flout.

I actually really like how they look. I’m not even being intentionally contrarian, the more I look the more I love.

Fenske is a freaking national treasure. I learn something cool every timeI watch one of his videos.

Pretty much since the beginning of time poor men have traded their health for money. It’s part of what makes a man a man and I respect the players’ right to make that decision. Hell, my ancestors didn’t work in coal mines and steel mills and whatnot for the camaraderie either, but I just... really I just can’t watch…

This is some truly horrifying shit. How do you treat another human being like this and still sleep at night?

No grown adult has ever gotten a concussion from hitting a soccer ball with his head. Ever.

I get yellow lab with a ball happy when I read about pro athletes suddenly turning a corner and living up to potential. It must be soooo freaking gratifying for them to be able to know they’ve shut down a bunch of criticism from jerks like us.

Hehehe, have you ever actually met another human being or have you only heard about them via rumor? No matter your education, when we drive we are re-educated by constant, moment to moment, instant feedback from actual driving that tells every driver that you CAN get away with texting, eating, fiddling with audio,…

It’s meddle, not mettle.

Where are the pendings?
