This board was flooded with actual runners (marathon runners with 2:22 PRs, etc) giving out training advice and you also had more elites posting. Completely different vibe.
Are you serious?? Jesse Owens is the most well known track and field athlete in American history. And the military?? Lots of people talk about it but few enlist and have a clue.
Weirdos with Trump derangement syndrome who want to make anything political. Mental illness pretending to be the other gender.
Really? You really honestly used to love hating Trump and making everything political? And you used to be trans? Then you did a total 180 and think these things are cringe now? I mean that’s possible but it sounds a lot more like you currently have an obsession with these issues and are trying to force your politics into a thread where they don’t really make sense.
What’s the most recent thing that you loved/thought was cool and now you did a 180 and think it’s cringe?
The best example I can think of, is anything of the "fantasy genre", meaning elves, dwarves, etc. I grew up in the 80s and 90s playing D&D, reading fantasy books (including Lord of the rings). When the movies came out in the early 00s I watched and loved them. Enjoyed the Game of thrones BOOKS before the shows came out.
But around 2010, I realized I had no interest, and in the 12 years since, I've went from loving fantasy everything to cringing hard at all of it.
I never watched the Game of thrones TV show, the first season started right around when I was realizing I didn't care. Then all of a sudden GoT and LoTR became pop culture icons and that was the nail in the coffin.
I've always thought comic book things were goofy, so never fell into watching super hero movies. They are exceedingly lame.
Noah Lyles. I literally just un-followed him on Insta. He just got too damn annoying and his fake overcompensating confidence was too much. Great talent and I enjoy watching him race, but his insanely arrogant press conferences after wins bugged me and that attitude has really been seeping into his insta posts.
Alan Webb after he broke the AR. Now him and his wife are a bunch of deranged zealots posting aborted babies in their stories and dressing their kids up in pro-life propaganda. I hope all of his records get pushed further down the list.
pro sports - all of them - have realized how much they are just TV shows - and the shows just keep getting worse and worse... i cringe thinking how many hours i used to spend enthralled by this level of dreck...

Marvel movies, and most superhero movies in general. I probably watched 75% of the Marvel movies before endgame and I think I enjoyed most of them at the time. Looking back, most of them weren't even that good and now I think they were all pretty repetitious cash cows.
This is a good answer. I used to love these but you rewatch them, they are terrible movies. With the exception of infinity war they never touch anything remotely serious, or when they do the characters respond with comedy. When it comes to superhero movies there is Chris Nolan's batman, and everything else.

Marvel movies are still great entertainment. Did you used to dress up for movie premiers? That would be "cringe"

Serious.
Military: I was in for years.
Owens: don’t remember where I read it, but from an adult perspective, iirc he was a jackoff
A lot of retired athletes were cool and I looked up to them when they were playing, but they turned into douchebags after they retired and made TV appearances:
Derek Jeter, John Elway, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddox, Will Clark, Richard Jefferson, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Irvin, Ricky Williams.
