But sending men there is “okay.”

Not that I’m in full agreement with the parent comment, but genocide is something that happens to groups of people, not individuals.

Perfect excuse to get a hotel room … ?

Mmm … yeah you did.

Yet.

If they refuse to feel shame, make them feel fear.

Just don’t drop your Cleveland pierogis through a Chicago sunroof.

Your religion is a choice. If single-use plastics make it more convenient for you to practice your chosen religion, to the detriment of everyone, go fuck yourself.

You don’t get to make the whole world pay for your choice.

Because the back yard is already full.

As long as there’s not a head-shaped mass inside the helmet when it bounces on the garage floor, the foam will be undamaged.

You’re right about the ear plugs, though. The only reason I know my current helmet is soundproof enough for me is because I have had several which were not.

I bought a pack of 12 neck gaiters from Goodwill for like three dollars. Soak in water, wear around neck, works a treat.

One man’s extortion is another man’s bribery.

If the notion of inclusion is “political” that must mean that the notion of exclusion is the “political” positon that is being protected here.

Not today, FBI.

I just unloaded most of my defense ammo in preparation for going to the range tonight.

Of course they learned something! That they can do that.

Once you’re moving faster than, say, 10MPH, whatever speed you’re going is fast enough to kill you or make you a drooling idiot when your head bangs on something hard and motionless. Beyond that, adding speed just decreases the chances of drooling idiot.

Full disclosure, I have ridden without a helmet. Not often, but I probably will again. I have a pair of goggles for the eyes. I much prefer the comfort and safety of having a helmet on, but –

Briefly riding around quiet neighborhood streets by me, that I know well enough to know which houses have little kids, during the day, on the little scooter, … maybe. After a long time on big interstates on the big bike, when the helmet has been pressing into my forehead too long, also during the day, flat rural interstate, light “traffic”, excellent visibility, highways I am pretty familiar with? Maybe.

And the whole time I would be thinking “I shouldn’t be doing this.” My current helmet is much more comfortable than my last one, and I don’t need to wear earplugs with it unless I’m doing a long ride at 70+ MPH. Putting it on is easy, easier than having to listen to that voice in my head saying I should have put it on, I have music in it, I’m having a hard time now thinking of a situation where I wouldn’t want it on.
