I wish I had hair. At this point I'd even settle for terf hair or Hitler hair.

this one has probably been done before but -

motorcycles are obnoxious

Motorcycles are generally terrible and I’m still amazing lane splitting is a (still legal iirc??) thing in SoCal.

monstrous

A driver who changed lanes right into me nearly pushed me into oncoming traffic today so I'm feeling extremely sympathetic to motorcycles and lane splitting at the mo. If I go between cars while they're fully stopped at a light, that puts me out in front where a) I can accelerate faster than cars, and b) they can all see me. Which I like because I almost didn't make it home today.

i don’t care much about lane splitting

i just hate all the noise

if they made quiet motorcycles i’d be ok with it

got nothing against vespas

As a pedestrian, I think I prefer the buzz of motorcycles (that aren’t V-Twin “choppers” or whatever) over the sinister “quaaaaaaaa” of hybrids and electrics

yeah i’m really just talking about super loud bikes that make you go deaf when they drive by

i have this experience a lot since harley culture is so popular in socal

I tell myself I hate but actually like the sound of loud bikes when they go by

vaping is not necessarily a lame/dorky/neckbeard behavior

It’s more seasonal where I live. But when they come through I want to lay down caltrops, it’s true

xxp to tlg.

my only thing against lane splitting is it seems pretty unsafe, I'm pretty careful and I've almost clipped speeding bikes that are coming up at a high rate of speed between lanes. if it's used in a safe way, godspeed.

loud motorcycles are horrible, we have people who test out their bikes up and down the street here and literally the only people that enjoy the sound of loud bikes (or loud cars) are the people who own them.

“loud pipes save lives”

(tbc neither my opinion nor the reason they are used and i was very nearly killed by an out of control motorcyclist, so not my allies really).

I’m just saying I’ve had my closest calls with cyclists, electric cars and hybrid buses - I still find loud Harley enthusiasts to be approximately the same as “gun people” on the ethics spectrum (tbf I also find they are usually exactly the same people)

The only things keeping Jesus honest were the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Demiurge

trust cthulu, he speaks his mind

elon could do a lot better

grimes could do even worse

Bryce Harper, maybe a bit closer most of the time to Mickey Tettleton than he is to Barry Bonds, offense wise. Jury’s out on the future but idk folks. Similarity score includes Kal Daniels. I’m just sayin’.

public castration of language prescriptivists is a good idea

ok it may not be that funny but it's a thing, it makes sense

disagree

These bangs are also known as having a drink and cutting your own hair or cutting your bangs before they fully dry.

thank youuuuuuu

too many people have those super short bangs for them to be designated as anything, unlike the shaved sides/long on top 'hitler youth' haircut that way too many men have rn

dudes with symmetrical side shaves are v sus

extremely so

I had assumed "TERF bangs" was about like R3b3cca R3illy-C00per but apparently it's about punX0r on Twitter. -> maybe one for "shockingly old when you learned" thread, except that it's probably only an assumption one could make if one were shockingly old.

I'm confused by some people self-identifying as TERFs and others saying it's a slur, can't they work this out among themselves, there are many better things to be debated surely.

Guys when I had a military haircut guess what

everyone i've heard use the term 'terf bangs' had terf bangs in 2012

all memes are bad

This is the best time to be alive

Not only do I believe this is the best time to be alive, I think 74-75 (I was born late 74) were the best years to be born, like every technological/social/cultural development came along at the exact right time. Plus most importantly I was a freshman in HS the same year the 90210 characters were

No. Everyone knows 1977 is the best year to be born/best year full stop.

Wholehearted cosign.

hi five to fellow 77 babies

(Just realizing that I am not exactly the best supporting evidence for that argument.)

really any time after the invention of air conditioning

x-post - oh hush and high fives all around

flappy has the right idea. I have no idea how people didn't just insta-die with the arrival of summer pre-AC.

somehow people managed to muddle through things, even before animal collective

no AC + starchy wool clothing

no wonder people had fainting spells and died from “the vapors”

also everyone must have smelled terrible

gold peak sweet tea is too sweet. it's kinda gross.

I think about how badly it must have smelled in times of yore often. If everybody smelled like that though I guess that would be the norm and therefore it wouldn't have been considered offensive? It must have been awful though.

yeah agree - can’t believe there’s an extra sweet

but the unsweetened is great! almost as good as tejava
