I've heard the argument of "dozens of wild hogs" in relation to firearms so many times, I thought it was going to end with some kind of quip about "high-capacity magazines"
But you might be on to something here.
Can we look into limited release programs for wild hogs onto billionaires properties? all of them?
Yeah, but that makes it clearly a case of age-related memory issues and neurological degeneration, instead of vaguely sounding super mysterious and clickbaity
And they've got money to make over at literally every website that keeps retelling the story and puffing it up.
He's got the same logic as my sister did when she was 13 and a super sheltered Christian who still fully believed the mythology.
She went to our mother to try and get me to stop watching a cartoon because it very lightly touched on the fact that women have menstrual cycles. And by that I mean "a girl started her period and had to deal with that for about five minutes" in an episode of braceface
I never once got any sort of "coming of age" talk from either parent, but by then I already knew something happened every month that cause women pain and bleeding in their stomach and pants, respectively, and no idea why. The fact that they used tampons and pads seemed logical to me, as they absorb things. Like putting a bandaid on a cut.
My tiny child mind was not broken by these things.
Ah yes, the old "your government/politician does bad thing therefore you cannot criticize other bad thing" argument. So eloquent, so convincing. So strong.
I could live to be a thousand, and I'll still be seeing small-minded people make the same argument.
Well if you know your choices are "definitely go to prison for something you didn't do and either die in prison or come out a completely different person, out of time." or "trial by combat, maybe death, maybe freedom" I know which one I would choose.
Especially if I know my accuser knows they're lying and it's not just a misunderstanding.
A lot of people just go knee-jerk in the direction they want, not realizing they're dragging everything along with them.
I would love for there to be a "fat bike" style that's fairly standard across the industry, but there simply isn't. I spend all day building bikes for various companies, and the only new things I see are ebikes, and a lot of those are simply hub motors and speed controllers crammed onto existing frames. That means the effective weight limit is even more reduced.
It's going to be quite some time before the industry changes to heavier models simply because they don't see it as profitable yet. Even if they tried to pivot today, it would be years before you see changes in your local stores.
I wasn't reading through every comment, I just saw a bunch of people saying they want heavier bikes, but it didn't seem like anyone was trying to suggest normal bikes stop being made. Heck, as far as I'm concerned "skinny person bikes" should always continue being made just for the same reason some people want "fat people bikes" today, so someone with an abnormal body type can ride comfortably, and safely.
The fact of the matter is, the industry will only go where the money is. And as sort of a logical conundrum, more fat people would hike if they had better bikes, but the bikes won't show up until more fat people ride.
there shouldn’t be bikes as light and high-performing as possible made for those who can use them
.... Nobody is saying that?
This is literally the same argument Republicans used during BLM protests.
Nobody was saying non-black lives don't matter. Nobody is saying lightweight bikes for fit people should be a thing of the past.
I just want to be able to tell my buddy pushing 250 where he can get a bike that won't cost way more than someone just getting into a hobby is willing to spend. I want to be able to get my parents and sister and in-laws riding with me and my wife without telling them "sorry, you need to buy a $3,000 bike because nobody makes a standardized style for people your size"
Legitimately if someone said "it's better than the shelter no matter what" I'd tell them "okay then, you're coming home with me. Every night I will kick you because you're slightly too slow for my liking and in my way. Every morning I will forget to feed you because I don't really care about you. I might give you my leftovers after dinner. No lunch because you only get two meals a day. Forgotten breakfast included. I will also tie you outside in 95 degree heat for a week and only fill your water every other day because I misplaced my shoe and blamed it on you. When you get sick, I'm just going to break your leg and leave you in the woods." and tell them not to complain because at least they aren't in a shelter.
If that isn't the end of the discussion, then [REDACTED]
Filled out the generic form from the IRS but I also submitted a tip for fraud to the fbi tip linsite and added the pics in with the submitted forms, though if they have an automated system I'm sure not a single person saw the pictures...
Pfffff yeah if you don't use a faday cage the size of a room in the style of Enemy of the State.
