  1. Do you need Bijan to apologize for the apology?
  2. WhyWouldCultureWarriorsDoThis.EricAndre
  3. I got artist pricing on my Matchless and could still sell it at a straight profit. Maybe you know someone who can hook you up with a deal at the Gibson custom shop 😎
  4. Right, but when was Bijan a kid? That’s the point I was trying to make - whatever the etymology and without any hate in my heart as a kid in the 90s I thought that the queer was the queer in the same way that my homework was gay. If I used those words in those ways now, I’d say oops and apologize and move on. It’s not a big deal.
  5. I think a useful distinction we should make especially with young men is the difference between using homophobic language (or sexist or racist or whatever) and being homophobic. Using language in a way that can hurt people doesn’t make you a piece of shit necessarily, and apologizing for that use doesn’t mean that you are admitting to being whatever bad thing it is that you are afraid to admit to being.
  6. I’m not sure if you think that I said something different.
  7. I always assumed that the "queer" in "smear the queer" meant "queer" in the same way that it always meant growing up in the 80s and 90s, which was gay. I haven't read any scholarly research on the game but I think you'd be twisting yourself up to make a point for some reason to think that someone Bijan's age would, outside of the context of maybe a Hardy Boys book, associate the word "queer" when applied to a person as meaning something other than gay.
  8. Is everyone having a good J45riday?
  9. Millennial gray-washing, please. Of course we all called this game smear the queer when we were kids. Of course that was always homophobic and societally we've recognized that. Tying up your masculinity in refusing to acknowledge, apologize, and move on from a minor gaffe like this would make you a giant pussy. Bijan is not that guy.
  10. goddamn i wish I lived in Austin so I could come crash immamac's house party idea:
  11. Is that the little 335? I feel like someone mentioned having one of those, but I may be remembering some long ago discussion on a different board.
  12. What if I already own Hell or High Water in my Prime Library
  13. Strong approve
  14. I bet you’re right, I think 10k pushups is probably easy, especially considering I successfully did 10k burpees a few years back. Currently my meetings start at 6 am every morning and run through lunchtime, it’s a fucking beating. I suspect that I want to do some different stuff, kettlebell whatever, I think some kind of simple goal along the bike will keep me honest with doing something strength specific.
  15. On exactly the opposite front, I had been rucking a lot, which I do think was good for a bit of core and back strength, but the cold weather (and the fact that we bought a peloton) has pushed me to the peloton which is in fact an ass kicker. The comment above that spin class is different than cycling rings true to me - I’ve always at the gym hopped on a bike and cycled, I had my bike in my office on a stand just cycling, doing classes now with the peloton is a different thing altogether. anyways, i may start a new thread but i think maybe 2500 peloton miles is a more reasonable goal for me as well, on the basis of “I have about 30-40 minutes a night”. My objective this year is building some strength and cardiovascular fitness, I really need some kind of simple, objective, measurable number chase to help get me there, about 200 miles a month and about 30 pushups a day seems the right mix of challenging but achievable.
  16. Trying to talk myself into this as a challenge. I think it may be too high, especially since I don’t want to just cycle all year long, but I’m also picking up a lot of endurance on the bike and it may be more achievable than I think. If I was committing right now I think it would be this (or maybe 2500 miles) and 10k pushups. if I can keep upping the resistance a bit and maybe throw in some long rides every now and again (it’s gotta get easier with the youngest at 2 right now) I think it could be done.
  17. Ask the parents if they have a toniebox or a yoto. I thought it looked like the stupidest goddamn waste of money ever but the toniebox figures are a bit 👍👍👍from the 4 year old, we’re about to get another one for the 2 year old.
  18. An awesome gift for a 3 year old that parents will appreciate is anything in the category of “restaurant/car ride/plane trip activity”. The little coloring books with the markers that only color the special pages, the sticker books, little portable magnet princess dress up things, I love it when we get shit like that that I can toss in the kid backpack and bust it out when it’s needed.
  19. I hope he goes somewhere else and balls out as long as it isn’t OU or Aggie or pig I guess.
  20. A second sleigh has hit the tower..
  21. I bet this one jangles
