The bike culture is one of the many reasons that, whenever someone asks me what country I would most like to move to, I almost always answer the Netherlands. I love to ride, and have commuted via bike in a lot of the places I’ve lived. But my current city is very unfriendly to cyclists, and I haven’t been able to ride…

In best practice you’re supposed to shower or at least clean yourself before plugging the drain and soaking. (At least in Asia, I have no idea how Westerners do it, you may very well be soaking in your own filth)

Okay I was juuuuust after tapes. I think I made 2 or 3 mixes with “digital audio tape”. And how do you weld socks? Or do I want to know.....

Definitely. They mention in several occasions in Initial D that Takumi’s style is based on rally techniques, as opposed to circuit racing.

Are you the one who stole all my CDs in high school? You animal! You pandaesque animal!

No, we’re going to get stuck with Bernie and then when he doesn’t win it going to somehow be Hillary’s fault.

So, the president of “white guys with guns” will mark a massacre perpetrated by a white guy with guns by visiting white guys with guns…

you know, if we all pitched in a dollar, we’d have millions to invest in hitmen/women... but then there’s the Pence problem to sort out. 

I’m worried about the polls. Everybody should be on the lookout for lone packages, abandoned backpacks, or nutjobs in vests.

shits not good yo

Why would the US need to monitor the Canadian border? It’s not like Canada just legalized a drug that’s illegal in many border states. Oh, wait...

We’re at the point that we can’t hope that political leaders (or anyone in power) will do anything to fix this. It’s up to us, the people, to fix it ourselves. I’m thinking mass tax boycotts, general strikes, whatever we need to do to show the people in power we aren’t toys for them to play with and abuse.

Yeah, that’s true, especially once Merkel leaves :-/

I wouldn’t blame Canada at all if they decided to close their borders to us. We need to fight, not run.

He mailed out a lot of those packages last week-- there’s probably more still coming in.
