So then what you said earlier about it “not being a big issue” seems to only apply to places where there is “bicycle-friendly infrastructure” at the least. Quite assumptive to say your original statement, don’t you think? Most of America, for example, is not bicycle-friendly.

Most people where?

It is botanically a fruit.

But only because so many people foolishly fall for/ value validation

I don’t like your sarcastic attitude

What general location is this??

I just remembered Jet Slalom because of this.

I’ve always thought this about Opal stone. It looks like a made up stone from an alien planet.

These days, I avoid Spotify, or anything else with their ridiculous advertisements. I used to pay for Spotify but they charge so much for paying so little to the artists that I didn’t want to support them anymore. Not to mention that I truly dislike this algorithmic world we live in, where things are “recommended” for me, but it’s part of an endless conveyer belt of things being sent my way when I didn’t ask for it.

I’m working on getting a record player so I can just intentionally play the music I want. I also like the physicality of it. It feels easier to dive into the artist’s vision of the album as a full experience.

The former police officer shared a meme on Facebook about a vigil being held in Tennessee for Kirk.

“This seems relevant today,” read the meme, which included a photo of Trump and a quote the then-candidate made in 2024 following a shooting at Perry High School in Des Moines, Iowa.

“We have to get over it,” Trump is quoted as saying in the meme.

Four officers came to Bushart’s home the next day, arrested him and took him to jail for “threatening mass violence at a school.” Authorities at the time said that the post was understood locally to be a threat to an area school that has a similar name to the one where the 2024 shooting occurred, according to court records.

“When Mr. Bushart posted the meme, he had no inkling or reason to think that anyone would take it as a threat of violence. And unsurprisingly, defendants … have produced no evidence that any person interpreted the meme as a threat,” the lawsuit states. “In fact, the Perry County School District has no records at all concerning Mr. Bushart or the meme.”

And there are people in this country who may still see nothing wrong with this, because it involves their dear blameless president.

As he’s dressed like Gary from Pokemon, I heard this all in his egotistical voice.

Are you some kind of spam account? Seriously?

which always reminded me of the way it was done on old pirate ships

Hey - that’s a neat way of thinking about it!

I’ve truly went in on ARIatHome, a talented musician just randomly running into people in new york and getting them on the mic, looping them in. Lots of great freestyles that come up. He does full livestreams too, on his page.

Examples:

I just found Fulton Lee who’s got a playful energy version of something similar.

Both of these guys have upped my faith in humanity.

Link is temporarily disabled?

In the same vein (Kojima) I was going to say Death Stranding.

Oh they brought a lot of love alright

“because old people run them”

Like a pick-me girl, except putting humanity down for the attention of companies.
