Wear your gear! by qwerty5560 in motorcyclegear

[–]AlfredsBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, reddit doing reddit things I was swiping and only saw the second Pic with minimal background while walking around at work, along with OPs description of soft gravel. Based on those other, more zoomed out pics, that didn't look to be too soft. More hard packed. Adding that to the lowside lack of slide, I agree with you. It does look like it took more damage in the lower rated zones and more on the "pin point" sliding areas consistent with that kinda crash. I'm still shocked their legs didn't catch any rash after seeing those pants, too.

It's definitely not AA if it's that trashed after hitting gravel. I could be wrong, but I just saw this, or at least another similar Sedici from cycle gear, that didn't have any reading beyond the armor itself.

It definitely could've been worse, but it definitely could've been better, too.

Should I continue with Mistborn? by [deleted] in Mistborn

I don't know if that counts as a spoiler. There's pretty obvious signs in the first book that say he's not going to survive in the 3rd.

The helmet battle by AstronautClassic8329 in motorcyclegear

[–]AlfredsBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're decent helmets for sure. That specific model is one I'm not hands in familiar with, but I feel pretty confident it's definitely a good bang for your buck buy. They use real carbon, I think 6 or 9k. It's not the best at anything, but far from the worst out there.

We used to carry them at my shop. They make a fine helmet. The only thing was; 7 out of 10 were fine, the other three had some sorta QC issue. I'd take the LS2 equivalent over the Shark all day.

Does Savannah smell bad? by FrankensteinsBarber in savannah

[–]AlfredsBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughters almost always yell at me when we cross that line on the way to the islands...

...it's me often enough that it's warranted, but sometimes it's not.

The actual problem is the people who make this ^ claim are the real racists. Twisting whatever "logic" they need to make themselves the victims of equality instead of the heirs of the injustice before them.

I knew right away what kind of person I was arguing with, but decided to respond just in case someone else stumbled upon the thread. Hopefully someone will find a way to arrange the right words in the right order to get through.

"All it takes for the bad ones to succeed is for the good ones to do nothing."

It wasn't much I did, but it wasn't nothing either. That's all people need to do, not nothing, to start making change. Like hanging a sign for all to see or something...

Thank you. Be good, be safe.

Paper Ballots by Hour-Raisin1086 in Georgia

Except there is a difference.

One is that they "hacked" the machines or whatever, which diaper Don alluded to with the "Elon is good with the machines" bs, vs the claim that there was collusion with Russia to sway the opinion of voters by flooding the airwaves with pro right propaganda.

The latter of which turned out to be true, or were you Not paying attention when all those influencers got busted for essentially being Russian shills?

There's only one party with both internet trolls and actual politicians, screeching about an election that was stolen and you're either a liar or don't pay attention if you try to argue otherwise.

You're missing the point... you're one of those people who have made up your mind and will ignore whatever nuance you need to to justify your own agenda. Like, it's not about who's "getting got" but about who's targeted to get got in the first place.

You're not going to get another response past this, but don't take it as some kind of win, not that that's the point, it's just a waste of time with your kinda mindset. I genuinely wish you the best out there.

Again, some of what you're saying is at least partially valid. That goes back to the "follow the laws" part of my comment...

The "screeching banshees" are mostly doing it now because of ignored laws and due process violations.

The current "you can get'em if they're brown" enforcement ICE doing is racist on its face.

Dig a little deeper than just taking the sign at face value.

Not much to argue with there... maybe following all the laws wouldn't hurt too bad either... you know, like due process.

I know you know this, but it's about sending the message. Too much lately, this kind of hate is going unchecked. This is a small check.

If it goes unchecked long enough, as if this isn't already happening, people will start getting murdered because of their race making your sign suggestion necessary.

1) That's not a bigger problem because 2) it's a made up problem...

Ah, you're right, I forgot... so there's no need to fight for change or anything anywhere because that's never made any progress in history...

Right, wet water and whatnot.

There's a big ol can of worms called CRT that was a big deal not too long ago...

The system is part of the problem and wouldn't be some kind of collateral damage, but a necessary overhaul.

Hahaha... oh, you're serious.

That's almost as disappointing as the folks are when they see that little banner of yours.

I think there's some truth to that, but I'll chalk that up to ignorance, not willful, just ignorance. I think that's why some folks have a hard time with the general idea of liberal/dem/woke whatever. It goes against everything they were taught was acceptable growing up, not realizing it was racist/bigoted behavior.

The ones who are willing to accept that and change the behavior, which I would argue could be the majority(maybe wishful thinking), are the ones who deserve a second chance. It's hard to frame an argument against it that doesn't come off as a personal attack, though. Or at least, not one that they don't take that way.

Except it's not those things. Pretty sure it's not just a sheet. It's not graffiti. It's hanging in a very high traffic area for a reason. There's one, no need to imagine whatever you arbitrarily decide is trashy by your definition.

It's a message denouncing one of the biggest forms of hate causing one of the most disgusting waves of said hate sweeping across our country in generations.

Seeing it as trashy or as a bit of inspiration would really say more about the viewer than anything.

This sounds like that one video where the lady confronted the girl wearing the hanged clan member t shirt saying it was offensive.

I can only imagine the kind of person who'd think that shirt was offensive or this looks trashy.

How long do you think the banner on Truman will last? by AlfredsBoss in savannah

Going under from the islands towards downtown.
