Ride 774: Kiji, coming!!

Pag 1

1: Welcome, to the Emperor's throne!!

My aim is the double crown!!

Pag 2

4: Ahhh... you're fast, the two of you

I thought I could catch you for sure at 2km left

Pag 3

1: But it took me until “1km left”, yon!!

Pag 4

3: Ah!?

He

4: caught up!? Who....

Pag 5

1: who the hell are you!?

2: The two people in the lead are taking the curve and passing the sign that says that there's 1km left until the sprint line.....

Pag 6

1: No, it's three people!!

Three people passed the “1km left” sign!!

2: There's more people!? Since when!?

Wasn't it two people!?

What happened!? Who's that? That jersey-

At the last curve, suddenly-

3: It's not “who are you”....!!

Dammit!! I know!! This guy!!

Pag 7

1: There's one more person who we need to pay special attention to

2: Gunma Ryousei's third year, Kiji Kyuui

3: Ohh, Kiji? Who's that

Oi, I already told you about this in advance, Manami!! Come on, at the sea

Is that so?

4: What's your data about him?

5: There's basically no record of him in road racing

6: He's an..... “assassin” from the MTB world, huh

7: Is he aiming for the goal?

8: Yeah.... the goal...

That's right....

We should be glad

Pag 8

1: That he's only aiming for the goal

2: Hayaaaa!!

3: Dammit!! The first result.... so you're aiming for the sprint too!?

4: Since they said you were aiming for the goal I thought you were a climber like Manami!!

Pag 9

1: Let's speed up, Orange!! He'll catch up!!

2: I've seen it before!! This guy's jersey

3: That day.... he appeared suddenly on that bike with the thick tires

Pag 10

1: It's the guy who chased Onoda-san and the Hakogaku guy with the bouncy hair!!

2: Before that, Onoda-san said they were friends and that he's “strong”!!

3: He's coming to catch up to

4: mine and San-na's battle

Pag 11

1: He really is strong!!

Let's switch, I'll pull!!

Pag 12

1: Orange!!

3: They're in tune

You have amazing judgment and explosive power!!

4: When I caught up at the last curve

5: Even though they could have also accepted me and made me join them

Without making eye contact or calling out to each other, in an instant at the same time they made the decision

6: that they would “cooperate” to leave me behind!! Yon!!

You're really....

Pag 13

4: What's that

He's lowering his stance and pushing on the handles like he's about to dance....!!

5: Hayaaaa

Pag 14

1: You're really close friends!!

Pag 15

4: He lined up to us in one go!?

Pag 16

1: This guy!! Was it an optical illusion? Just now, I saw something like a cloud of dust behind me

2: Takadajou told us this

Be careful

3: I've been told that the power that a MTB rider can produce in a short time

4: is 1.5 times that of a road racing cyclist

5: This guy can match this top speed!?

8: Ah!?

9: Huh!?

Pag 17

2: In between!?

He came in between!?

Ah!?

3: You bastard, usually when one catches up he joins in the back

Pag 18

1: It's road racing theory!!

4: This guy doesn't know the theory?

5: 800m left until the sprint line!!

6: 1

Pag 19

1: 2

What's this- San-na, did this guy suddenly started counting

The sign for an attack?

An unappreciated problem with being a fan of both Very Old Stories (I dont know how to quantify this any other way I'm sorry) and Lord of the Rings (plus associated lore) is that I regularly get Gilgamesh and Gil-galad mixed up. And you would think this would not be a major problem, just an amusing quirk.

You, however, are not the one currently looking at a midterm where I wrote about the Epic of Gil-galad and its significance in our understanding of Ur.

That's not even CORRECT, it's about the city of URUK.

bro no fucking way I called the vet (closes at 6pm) at 4:45 and its already unattended 💀

see i dont think mark ever explicitly told ashe “no you cant go outside and have friends.” i dont think he ever said “stay in your room every day” or “dont go to the store” or “never learn to drive or take the train or go to a restaurant.” what happens, with homeschooling, and especially with homeschooling like ashe’s, is the Rot. the monotony of day-in and day-out where little ever changes. It wasn’t Mark that wouldve kept ashe inside, it was the Sludge. and mark, always going in and out of the house, would have had NO way to know about it. i dont really know where im going w this anymore just. grhehhrgrgr winters family

mental state progressing from one kinda sadness to another and idk if thats an improvement or not.

Its real strange when Americans especially (meaning politicians, less citizens but them too sometimes) say socialism doesn't work because how the hell would you even know. Half the shit American politcians describe as socialism isn't socialism, and often they treat those things like the sky will fall if they're implemented (like healthcare. Ignore Canada right above you. Lie about how our system works by telling people you need to wait years to see Drs about life threatening issues when you only get waitlisted for specialists and not for years either, it's generally a few months. Not ideal but not what American politicians say either. Ignore every other country with universal healthcare better than Canada's, which is everyone's, because there's no need to even lie about those after making the country above you look bad for not charging 80K to look at a band-aid, which is somehow an improvement to waitlists like the poor won't just die instead of seeing a dr).

Not to mention the US has invaded so many countries with politics farther left then theirs just to install right wing terrorists and then get mad when some of those terrorists they straight up funded do a 9/11 to them like they have slaughtered thousands to "spread democracy" by overthrowing democratically elected leaders all over the world for being "too socialist" or communist so how do you know socialism doesn't work? If it doesn't it's because America specifically has never allowed it to, like you can't invade every single country that does things mildly different, completely destroy them, and then say "see socialism doesn't work!" like you had nothing to do with the collapse of that system???? It's literally the meme of Eric Andre shooting that guy and being like "how come socialism didn't work!" like they didn't just shoot socialism in the face in cold blood. And also capitalism doesn't need to work at all in any way, efficient or not, for everyone to defend it to the hilt so like ok who cares if socialism works if you don't care that capitalism doesn't and you defend it anyway? Clearly "works" isn't a prerequisite to using that system so that's not even an argument worth bringing up at that point.

WHY IS THERE AN EXTRA STITCH

[moonmoonthecrabking]

mustangs fc: you don't need to pretend to have a crush on a guy just to prove that you can, and that doesn't stop you from liking girls

14 year old me: so i hear what you're saying, but that doesn't apply me and i definitely like guys exclusively what are you talking about? sometimes you just have to force yourself to like a guy so you have something to spin around in your brain and remind yourself that you like boys, that's completely normal behaviour.

me now: oh, honey. you're an idiot (affectionate)

[emissary-of-the-moon]

Yk with as nasty as my posture is im suprised i dont have more back problems

[bunnyb34r]

Remember I told yall ab the impromptu meeting we had with BaldBastard and FGM (the one ab the crates vs tub for supplies) anyway during that, RC semi-jokingly said in response to BaldBastard saying that we should tell him if theres problems so we can work on them quickly, that he's never there. Which is true, he shows up maybe 4-6 a month, how the hell are we supposed to ask you for anything??

Well he's been showing up at least 2x a week since that... inch resting... and he was there at 4 when we got in this morning which I've only seen happen 2x. Which made RC and I go "hmmmmmmm maybe somebody took that personally"

I'm wondering if it's that he got yelled at by the district manager and that that's why he's been showing up. Like "your store is REALLY lacking dude. That is YOUR responsibility."

I say this bc he fucking was yelling at/swearing at Homicidal Forklift Driver, not even for his homicidal forklift driving, but for how "the backroom looks shitty as all hell" and that he "can't be dropping shit in departments if no one is there/you have to ask if they need it first."

Now a GOOD store manager would have said "hey I need you guys to pay more attention to how the backroom looks. The docks need to be clear for safety and because it looks bad if we leave it full. Also you need to ask the person working a certain department if they need what you're dropping. You can't just leave pallets in empty areas/drop em if they're not needed."

Like for someone who's been there 20+ years, and has been a store manager in 3 different clubs, he of all people should know how to speak as a manager. WE'RE allowed to swear casually with each other, because we're not managers. We get paid hourly and most of us under $18 an hour at that. YOU do not get to act unprofessional and pissy bc you have to do your job for once.
