Is 4 out of 10 the amount that you care, or the extent to which you could care less?

Both, I think?

You should have used heading: About Galen Rupp in 2020 wrote:

So you care a lot and your initial post would indicate this to be so. On the other hand if you had used the thread title "I couldn't care less about Galen Rupp in 2020" this would also be incorrect because if you couldn't care less you wouldn't have started the thread.

4 out of 10 isn't a lot. Enough to start a thread on a running forum but I wouldn't say it's a lot. I don't see what's incorrect about my thread title.

No!!!, I couldn't care less about Galen Rupp in 2020.

What makes you think Rupp will even be on the team?

I didn't say he would be, but he is certainly capable of making the team.

I could care less about getting paid $1 million. Because I would really enjoy being paid that, there is a lot of room below my level of caring.

What's that got to do with anything? Does anyone have anything on topic to contribute?

Donkey shît thread.

This would be a good running-related discussion, but apparently people cannot comprehend my correct usage of the phrase "could care less."

Rupp won't go to the trials. He's done.

He also ran the 10,000 in 2016 8 days before his marathon.

He ran 2:06 low twice in 2018 as well as 59:47. He had only run the 2:10 Trials marathon before 2016.

I think he has a shot. He has done well since the shoes were more available.

The Olympics are different. Only a few other athletes are competitive because of the field limits per country. I think he will finish top 6 with a greater than 10% chance to medal.

Yes I did. Thank you Captain Obvious. Do you have anything to contribute?

It just means you care about Rupp and your title is thus a lie.

Not at all. If he cares some amount greater than 0, then it is possible for him to start not caring at all, and that would be less.

Yes, sure, of course...

Sorry to state the obvious but here's why he won't medal:

1. It will be hot in Japan and Albert Salazar won't be there to hand him a new hat every 5k filled with ice. East Africans are better at heat dissipation and have a scientific advantage

2. Everyone will have Vaporflys or Alphaflys or knockoffs. In 2016 nobody he beat had Vaporflys, and everybody with Vaporflys beat him

Galen Rupp is the best runner and is even more innocent then I am.

You certainly did. Look at your #1 statement.

Couldn't he be zero and go in to minus on the care scale?

You could care less or you couldn’t care less?

Agree 110%? How is this possible? 100% is all you got! A stupid post under a stupid thread title.

agreed. Almost a third of the posts are the OP, so not a successful troll attempt either

Can you quantify your level of agreement for us?
