Loren @withano.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Having played in several co-ed ice hockey rec leagues, my experience is that the vast majority of us aren't skilled enough for physical differences to matter very much. Height and reach are useful, but that's about it. 060
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 02/08/2026There's actually a whole book about this. It's called "Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump" by Rick Reilly. And the thing is, like, it does. 0223
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 13/07/2026To me, this read like pointedly saying nothing. "I got to know him," "we just met," "he negotiated," but no follow-up on whether those were actually pleasant experiences or what he was like as a person, beyond "funny." 000
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I mean, in a normal world, "will negotiate with Democrats" wouldn't be praise, but here we are. Personally, I think "I got to know him" with no follow-up speaks volumes. 000
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I actually thought this was pretty slick. She never actually says anything about liking him or thinking he was good. He was willing to talk and make jokes, and there were people in his life who might have cared about him. Sure. That's about as damning with faint praise as you can get. 180

Loren @withano.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Okay but like why would disclosure of a President's tax returns destroy him? We've seen all the other ones since Nixon, and none of them were at risk of being destroyed. The only way it would be a problem would be if there were something untoward... 000

Loren @withano.bsky.social · 12/03/2026To me, that's the tragedy of Donald Trump. He NEEDS to be adored but doesn't get that people don't like to be treated cruelly and don't respect accomplishments he didn't actually achieve. He believes that he fundamentally deserves esteem, no matter what he does. What a sad, miserable little man. 020
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Yes, he literally can't comprehend that other people aren't conniving and cheating. Even in golf, he'll move his ball in broad daylight or claim to win a tourney he didn't attend. It's why the admin was so sure they could prosecute Biden. They think the only difference is that Trump got caught. 330

Loren @withano.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Exactly! The whole point of blockers is to prevent kids from going through a puberty that will be wrong and distrsssing for them, which is exactly what these people claim they want to prevent. But somehow that doesn't matter if it's the "natural" puberty because something something bone density. 010
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 03/03/2026It is so important that no cis child ever mistakenly chooses to go through the wrong puberty that we must make absolutely sure that all trans kids will instead. 1190
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 03/03/2026The really insidious thing he's doing here is implying that doctors are foisting blockers and hormones on kids for "gender nonconformity," which is missing the important criteria of the kid actually wanting to be a different gender. 2231

Loren @withano.bsky.social · 04/02/2026From your other comments it sounds like your problem is the insole. That's not a huge difference between skate types. The big thing imo is that figure skates are much stiffer in the ankle and have less room in the toe box. 000
Loren @withano.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I figure skated for 20+ years, competitively in college, and now play hockey in an adult intermediate rec league. No question hockey skates are easier to break in. All my figure skates took at least a month of regular skating, but I don't think I've ever even gotten a blister from my hockey skates. 110
