I could be a racist piece of shit and drop the n word. If a black person then turns around and calls all white people racist pieces of shit, we’re both bigots

Except… 2 people being assholes when the power dynamic is still very stilted is NOT a level playing field. Context matters. You’re not some enlightened sigma with this hot take.

Suffer a few generations of systemic oppression and you might get the parity you think you have

I’ll make the argument that they neither think nor care. They got their political W and have moved on to some new, bright, shiny fuckery

Yeah, they’re fine for what they are, but I’ll take that over shitting myself inside out by eating wheat

Domino’s hates selling smalls

Yet that’s the only size they sell their gluten free pies in. I rarely buy from there (my kid considers it a treat) but I hate paying $15 for plain 10" gf pizza that’s mid at best

Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

Seriously, “y’all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!”

Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it’s warranted, but you’re tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

If it’s your interest, why not? People buy all sorts of stupid shit. At least my expensive, stupid shit keeps me in shape.

My road bike and mountain bikes aren’t even top tier and both individually coast twice that. A new, tricked out Moots or SWorks is $15k.

A $4k eBike can replace your car and save tons more in the long run

Get something mainstream. As long as the bike has one of the following engine systems: Shimano, Bosch, Specialized, Mahle, TQ and a couple others I can’t think of off hand. Any of the other weird ones are often impossible to diagnose and work on

Bafang motors are a crap shoot. They make a couple that are okay, but also a lot of low end, sketchy systems.

Electra has a couple of cheaper models that come in under $2k. While the motors themselves aren’t unsafe, I think the bikes themselves have underpowered brakes and the like. Something like the Specialized Globe is $2800 and is a pretty solid, utilitarian platform.

Avoid Rad Power, Lectric, Super 73, and any of the other weird, fly by night direct to consumer Asian brands

I work at a bike shop. This is the main reason why we refuse to service cheap, direct to consumer bikes. Plus, most use non standard parts, underpowered brakes, etc. They’re non serviceable death traps

I feel terrible for that guy. Sadly most consumers don’t know. They see one bike that’s $1200 while most are $4000+ and they think they’re getting a deal

My favorite fuckery is when Europeans see shit like 25.4mm, 27.2mm or 31.8mm and it’s because of imperial bullshit

All of this is bad faith and not sourced.

You can’t call it good faith to say, “hey, cut it out” while checks notes STILL SUPPLYING WEAPONS.

I didn’t want him to be a hypocrite if that’s what you’re implying

When did I ever say only femmes are tasting my lumpia? C’mon, homie. My diminutive oriental dingus is less lonely than you think.

I’ve never had a problem with my race. Reading your weird rebuttal makes me feel downright chauvanistic. 2 quips is “several lengthy replies” if you’re not genetically predisposed to be good at math, i guess

Well, there’s no time like the present

It’s only body shaming is they care.

Speaking as an Asian in a honky dong world: even if I gave a shit there’s nothing I can do about it. Shame away, kings

After a series of events culminating with Uvalde the police have lost credibility

The police don’t even come a majority of the time when they’re called in my city

Something tells me it wasn’t a pomeranian

My friends that are pit owners are always freaking out about how the breed is stigmatized.

I don’t personally have a problem with pits, but yo: an aggressive pit is a far bigger problem than some terrier. There are some awful dog owners out there; a fact reinforced by the heaps of dog shit I see on the sidewalk outside of my job. Those same people are supposedly training a powerfully bred canine to not be an asshole by checks notes being neglectful. Cool

Eddie Murphy can be funny, but there’s a ton of homophobic and other problematic content in Raw and Delirious.

I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity

Most people don’t last long in death camps.

They’re basically admitting it’s a death camp.

My kid and I share the same birthday so as long as I don’t forget mine, I’m set.
