'96 XL 4x4 checking in!

(No hormones for me, thanks; I like my stick shift just fine the way it is. But I’m glad to feel included.)

It’s not a rule.

I’m not sure about the actual prevalence of racism, but one thing I can tell you is that living in a less diverse place makes it real easy for people to be blissfully unaware of their own racism, whereas actually interacting with people of other races forces them to confront it about themselves.

I’ve seen plenty of people here on Lemmy from lily-white states like Minnesota or Montana dunking on the South in the most bigoted way while simultaneously being holier-than-thou about it.

I mean, it’s got a map, too…

I can ID Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Egypt, Tunisia, and Poland on there without even going to check if I’m right. (I also correctly guessed Bangladesh and Jordan but had to check to be sure, and incorrectly guessed Georgia instead of Armenia.)

Can’t tell what the 10^th country is, though, as I don’t see any others marked in red.

Well, unless nearsighted people were outcompeting people with 20:20 vision, for some reason.

Probably some food ingredients and (especially) chems too, since we’re talking about a restaurant.

Environmental storytelling at its finest.

And even if you don’t fuck it up, the creditor is profiting off you anyway because of the transaction fee they charged the vendor.

My drill press has a little rubber friction-fit holder for it, but nothing about it forces me to put it back properly.

It’s also a joke about how very subtle actions count as signaling a bid. Never been to a horse auction so I don’t know how true that is IRL, but it’s a trope in media.

What part of “all policy should bend to serve this goal” did you not understand? We’re not done 'til we have $40 hypersonic suborbital flights, and if it takes a greater than Manhattan Project or Apollo level of effort to get there then, damn it, that’s what we’ll have to do!

More like Ben Franklin is already four rounds in with your mom, after figuring out how to use your time machine all on his own and borrowing it to go pick her up.

I think it’s some kind of small furry creature from an '80s movie?

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I’ve always found it interesting/weird how bikepacking seems to have a different ‘style’ than touring or utility cycling. Like using an overgrown seatpost bag instead of a rear rack and panniers, for example. I guess maybe it saves weight(?) and that could be important if your bikepacking route involves hilly singletrack or something, but otherwise I feel like the more traditional ways of handling cargo are more versatile.

Turn that metal grating into a front rack/basket.

That’s not what a C looks like.

By definition, no. Legitimate women’s healthcare providers don’t call themselves “crisis pregnancy centers.” Instead, they use other labels, ranging from “family planning” to “abortion clinic.”

“Fun” fact: MLK championed civil rights for black people for damn near two decades. But once he pivoted to directly addressing the issue of class, he was killed within four months.

Confusing the British.
