[Toshi]

I have been informed by @Full Trucker that I have indeed become more crotchety and jerk-like in recent years. So let this be my public apology to all of you. Well, most of you. Some of you, perhaps.

I will be less of a jerk-face in the future, and will not correct kidwoo's incorrect use of data/datum in particular.

thank you for your attention

 

[SkaredShtles]

Fuck off, you old codger.

 

[canadmos]

Got excited, thought you purchased a self powered mountain bike again.

Fuck that guy, let me teach you how to embrace it and really focus that energy.


I have years of datumseses to validate this approach.

ain't nobody got time for that

I mean, do whatever floats your boat, dudddeeees

I still will secretly hold in my heart of hearts that e-mtbing is more fun than acoustic mtbing, though. Just won't preach the gospel to y'all. You are not ready to be saved

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Actions speak louder than words. Which in this case, ironically, speak the same volume.

 

[Full Trucker]

Fuck that guy

Hey man, I know I owe you phone call but this seems a little aggressive. What was it you wanted to know again? Camping something something?

I don't even know what this means

You've proven your worth. Your services shall not be needed.

When people apologize, a common response is "actions speak louder than words"....meaning, don't tell me you're sorry, show me you're sorry in changes in behavior/actions

We are on an online message board, where all interactions are text-based, ie: words

Our interactions with you, on here, are all via words, as they are from the messages you decide to post

Therefore, your apologetical actions and course to repentance are still achieved through what you say

As such, your words are speaking just as loud as your hypothetical, equivalent actions





Don't you have to, like......be smart to be a doctor?

 

[Jeremy R]

It's ok. Just like you driving your wrx on an exit ramp, we all stray off the intended path from time to time.

I interact with Colorado people in real life sometimes, too! and I hit Like when Mrs. Adventurous posts up smiling family photos

crashing that thing really was a blessing in disguise. I wanted out from that world. And got it. Well, after the RX-8, which was good when it didn't flood itself.

I mean, that's fair.

I guess I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you might only be an asshole online like most people tend to be.

It didn't even occur to me that you might be a dick IRL too.

 

[StiHacka]

This thread is so confusing - by not residing in the East coast forum.

 

[Toshi]

I mean I have wasted the time of several bootfitters this year. But that’s kind of the business, literally. I will buy if the princess slipper fits just so

no, i've met toshi in person before. he's actually quite a nice dude.

 

[Toshi]

Why thank you, Jon. In the spirit of this thread I shall unignore you. Please do not poke fun at my continued fatness, though. ‘tis a sore spot. In my fleshy flank, that is

 

[Toshi]

Please chime in in my NE “ride pics” (heh. Car pics) thread re how stupid my idea for a Bullfrog S150 on a suitably reinforced deck is btw

 

[stevew]

i had not noticed.

fair enough. i struggle with my weight too, so it honestly didn't come from a place of hostility. i'm back to the point i need to drop more than a couple pounds myself. i was down 15 from all the road riding i did last summer, and whoops its right back on.

 

[Toshi]

i had not noticed.

If I exceed your baseline bitterness and hit your radar then I’ll be a real piece of work

I'm still trying to get above 175#.

The struggle is real.

I should go get a donut.

Mmmm... donuts.

I would do well evolutionarily in a very cold climate with limited food availability. Hydrodynamic like a seal, as I’ve said

I paused briefly in front of the donuts at the grocery store and reminded myself that they would taste like chemicals and make me fat. There’s an actual donut shop nearby. Hmmm

I’ve kept my weight in check all winter. But at 167 I still have a gut ?

I didn't know I was on a jockey site.

Well it’s not my fault that I no longer have any fat in my knees from hiking and walking so much. Oh, wait…uh…

 

[Toshi]

I am not a jockey. Even with max dose tirzepatide (although off it for a month involuntarily due to its shortage). Good progress last year, though.
