    Queer hasn't always meant gay it's always meant queer it's an actual word with a definition. 

    Just because it was coopted by a group to self describe doesn't mean it's a slur in every context. 

     

    I’m not sure if you think that I said something different.

  2. 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.

    Anybody have a 339?

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    I don’t have a pelaton, but I do have the IFit bike and I ride outside. I’m shooting for 3000 miles in 2026. Breaks down to roughly 57 miles a week.

    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.

    They talk about TP as if it's the Boy Scouts or MYF or something.  For fuck's sake it's a political organization.

    That's the other thing about Kirk, he was nothing more than a politico and a lightweight at that.  Not even a George Will or Wm. F. Buckley.

    Also, I think there are 1A problems with this.  Big-time, bro.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
