Comment on So what team do you support? in ~sports.football
Circa285 Link ParentAlso a lifelong Spurs supporter here. I'm cautiously optimistic about next season. I think the start of the season will likely start out rough, but by Christmas I think we'll be flying.Also a lifelong Spurs supporter here. I'm cautiously optimistic about next season.

Circa285 Link ParentMexican fans have a very long history of engaging in homophobic chants. Many Mexican fans will try and tell you that they're not being homophobic while singing/chanting clearly homophobic slurs....Mexican fans have a very long history of engaging in homophobic chants. Many Mexican fans will try and tell you that they're not being homophobic while singing/chanting clearly homophobic slurs. It's a long standing issue.
And, for what it's worth, I'm bilingual and have been for a long time so the "you just don't understand the culture" is not an argument that flies with me.

Comment on Bosses are fed up with remote work for four main reasons. Some of them are undeniable. in ~life

I, personally, get far more done daily than I did working in the office because I don't get pulled into pointless small talk. I'm also exempted from certain trainings because they're not relevant to my position. Instead of taking that time off, I use those hours to work.
The downside to this is that I've been passed over for big promotions because those positions require staff to be on site and I work from 2,000 miles away. All in all, I'm very happy with where I am, but I would love to have the ability to be promoted outside of building my department which is really grueling work.

I use my watch to track my activities and then analyze them through Strava, (for things like segments,) and intervals.icu for tracking polarized interval training. I love having a physical goal that I'm striving for and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with achieving my goals. This, more than anything, has lead to such a massive improvement in my mental health over the last three years.

For what it's worth, I don't plan on going back to Reddit. Reddit has seen a steady decrease in comment quality over the past 10 years and a steady rise in people trying to farm karma. I've been really impressed with the quality of comments here on tildes and plan to stay.

While, yes, Arsenal did bottle it, they bottled it to a team that has what amounts to two first team squads because City have not been forced to abide by FFP like every other club.

For me, it was moving within reasonable distance to a MLB team and having the time/money to go often. I was lucky enough to see Ohtani pitch is first game as an Angel. I've moved away from the area so I only get to go once a year, but there's something special about going to the park.
