After a certain point, the obsession becomes unhealthy. The guy clearly isn't enjoying his hobby anymore and is instead becoming a policeman trying to enforce his image of perfection onto an imperfect world.
Either pick up your ball and play elsewhere or accept the imperfections and work around them.
And since I can't reply thanks to HN lame posting too fast nonsense, this false equivalency on this site needs to stop.
If you're invested in your hobbies than you have immediate control of what's in your vacinity.
You cannot control others. You can influence them and encourage better behaviors.
But unless you become a cop or in this case get hired by peloton to find cheaters, you're fighting a losing battle. This guy's obsession with his hobby is comical. I almost want to buy the hardware to troll this guy with nearly impossible records and then find ways to work around his tricks.
Why? Because I can but I have more important things to spend my money on. Others in that hobby are sure to see this guy, laugh at his OCD, and troll the ever loving hell out of him.
> Is "Accept the imperfections and work around them" how you approach all of your hobbies? Are you not invested in any of them?
Yes, yes it is. Because they're HOBBIES and fretting over them to this level leads to unhealthy behaviors and obsessions like the bike guy seething about cheaters. Go outside and touch grass. It's better for your mental health.
- dotnet00 3y agoHe's trying to improve the thing he enjoys, that isn't unhealthy and does not in any way imply that he doesn't enjoy his hobby anymore. Is "Accept the imperfections and work around them" how you approach all of your hobbies? Are you not invested in any of them? Since wanting to improve things is a pretty normal aspect of being invested in anything, especially a hobby.
