Agreed. I’ve done the 405 stop go in a stick. Did it suck? Yes. Was it more sucky with a stick? Only a little. Was it so sucky that I’d get rid of my stick? No.

All of these are dead wrong - the dude’s completely upending his life and moving to a very different place. So he has no idea what his needs will be. He might find that he’ll take up surfing, or mountain biking, or motocross. He might decide that he wants to spend lots of time in the desert camping and gazing at the…

David says “I find myself in a similar spot, Matthew, in that recent life events have driven me to seek, in some ways, a hard-reset.”

You don’t commute. Or you have a short one? If you can choose when to drive, it’s fine.

Nice job, Twitter, Facebook. Thanks for rescuing the dead horses after the barn burned down.

And now we know what the morning shall look like on the social medias, today:

To all the white folks always telling us we need to listen to law enforcement and respect authority let’s hear ya. Come on. We all know we need to listen to the police and follow the rules. I mean if this was one of those “uppity coloreds” I’m sure you would be all over this right? He should be in jail anyway. I…

I don’t find this convincing.

Rolfe, who is facing 11 charges, including felony murder, has filed a lawsuit against city officials over the case.

We have all spent more time in lockdown that Brock Turner spent behind bars for rape.
