List of Pretentious Shit

[lbE08]

oh shit the mommy juice has kicked. in.

nah, that's just me giving brasky a hard time because it's weaksauce to be 'bored' during inside training, whether it's treadmill or trainer stuff. there's plenty to concentrate on. granted, if you're literally just sitting there and spinning your legs, I suppose that could be boring... but that's not really training.

(this is also a pretentious post about training, in keeping with the thread)

so your mental game is weak... got it.

When it comes to biking? Oh yeah. I definitely need landmarks and different milestones to motivate me. Just sitting there on a stationary bike feels like I'm accomplishing nothing.

I feel similarly about treadmills, but they are a little more tolerable. Spin classes are slightly better, but still not really my thing.

I have a tri (doing a triathlon is pretentious) in 2 weeks and have done some stationary bike training at the Y across the street. I went in a couple of weeks ago in light grey sweats and after the ride, the sweat on my pants looked like I pissed all over myself. I had to walk by no less than 200 people to get out. In conclusion, never wear light-colored sweats to bike.

Only get those when I CrossFit.

I have no idea how people ride inside. I had to twice last year during triathlon training due to weather and it was absolute torture. I've never been more bored.

This is pretty damn pretentious. Some people don't live in an area conducive to outdoor riding, nor do they have the means to commute to a more bike-friendly area.

Also pretentious: the fucking War & Peace novel I have to scroll through just to get to a recipe that I Googled. Fuck you Carol, just give me the steps to make the sauce. I don't need to hear about your goddamn trip to Tuscany.

Agree that sauce is pretentious.

We have a Peloton, but we're pretentious as fuck, so it fits. great in the winter. Can also just casually ride and watch netflix, which I like.

This post makes so much sense.

Food trucks

Podcasts are no longer pretentious, btw. Just boring, pointless, and pretentious conversations or lectures.

Food trucks

The gourmet grilled cheese/lobster roll food trucks, definitely. The barely functional taco trucks that serve incredible food but most people are too scared to go there, not so much.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t put taco trucks/stands in the same caragory as food trucks though.

so you don't like the ability to grab a lobster roll when you're out on the street ?

Flat brimmed baseball hats.

Not pretentious just super douchey. Having said that I totally rock surf brand hats like that sometimes.

Sometimes being pretentious doesn’t suck. Spicy lobster roll food truck stand on Rainy St. in Austin good example.

Paying $20 for a meal from a food truck is pretentious af. But yes, I do like that it's an option.
