If you took all the fucks Ibra gives and added all the fucks Megan Rapinoe gives and doubled that you’d still have fewer than 1 fuvks, which is the minimum number of fucks you could give if you still had fucks to give..

He looks like a life-model for Gerald Scarfe.  If I looked in his closet and found a full bodysuit made of human skin I would not be surprised.

“Man, it smells great in here. A little pungent, but great. Is that wing sauce?”

It’s called “hey watch out”.

As someone who rode his bike to work for 5 years in Beijing, China, I’ll confirm that nothing is more effective than the human voice. I still had a bell though as it really helped punctuate the expletives I would fling at other people:

A bell alerts pedestrians or drivers precisely zero percent of the time, particularly now that everyone wears headphones all the time. My voice, however, is much more effective.

Is a playing card in the spokes not good enough?

If the bike doesn’t have an “audible communication system”, the rider certainly does.  And it’s usually quicker and easier to just call out as opposed to fumbling for the bell-hammer.

Cyclists are not out to prove a point to you. Folks forget that the vast majority of cyclists also drive. We fully understand things from the driver’s perspective. We live it.

cars are immoral. 

Bikers get grumpy with them because they (drivers) only follow the laws of traffic when it suits them. Run a red light or stop sign, no problem i’m in a car i can do it. Cross multiple lanes of traffic at once, “it’s ok i’m in a car”. Switch lanes without signaling, park in a bike lane, open the door with out looking,…

I hear this argument all the time, and there is absolutely no data to back it up. “Idaho stops” have been shown to be not only safer, but more efficient. I’m not going to deny that there are some stupid fucking cyclists out there (the neon-lit pedicab that ran a red light last night to get on the Edens Expressway for…

Since we’re generalizing to all cyclists and car drivers.... let’s remember that when a car driver does stupid shit to a cyclist, cyclist gets killed. When a cyclist does stupid shit to a car, maybe a dent.

It’s extremely rare that a cyclist puts anyone in danger by not being “experienced in driving in traffic.” It’s even more rare that a cyclist would put anyone besides themselves in danger by doing so. On the other hand, car drivers are piloting around several tons of metal at very high speeds, so when they fuck up…

yes, there’s very fine people on both sides

He looks like if Zuck did the 10,000 hours Malcolm Gladwell thing but for watching Fight Club.

OK, sure, but what about all the good things Dave Portnoy does and stands for?

Gardner Reaps What He Sows

going to disagree with you on hudson yards. i moved to it after living in chelsea for many years, and your characterization of living here in not borne out by my (or my other friends) life experience.

I feel like Nu Metal is always *just about* to be reevaluated, but what’s really keeping that from happening is just how shitty a lot of the themes are in the genre (even before getting to how shitty the actual music is).
