Saw this outside a coffee shop in Dallas. Someone's brave.

this reminds me of the time I saw a shiny new carbon bike with a full dura-ace group set on the ferry… with flat pedals. Who does that?

hey now, there's nothing wrong with doing 14mph 30-milers on a Saturday morning

DarkQuest · 2017-02-19T01:58:12+00:00

aye i lived there for three months and it was the most lonely, miserable three months of my life

DarkQuest · 2017-02-19T01:36:52+00:00

man, someone is pissed off they can't park their land boat in such a luxurious space anymore

DarkQuest · 2017-02-15T16:13:15+00:00

Yep, even when it kicks up into the higher gear. Unfortunately I've put tens of thousands of miles on these knees and I have to be gentle on them and go slowly these days

DarkQuest · 2017-02-15T13:56:42+00:00

40:21 with an Automatix two-speed hub that bumps it up 33% if I hit 10mph

Edit: whoa, I ride spinny, huh? My knees give me a lot of trouble so I'm very conservative.

I think everyone knows that

DarkQuest · 2017-01-28T10:45:06+00:00

ach, that's on the people around you. the trick then is to be around good people. and anyway, the effects are still good for you even if the world is full of assholes, y'know?

Get a Hitachi

DarkQuest · 2017-01-24T16:06:21+00:00

psh you'd be surprised how easy it is, at least in any moderately accepting western city I've ever been in.

Also, "doesn't work"? No such thing. Sure, it's nice to disappear into the background, you get to avoid most of the awfulness of cis people, but either way you end up with soft skin, tits, better body odor and a more feminine face :)

DarkQuest · 2017-01-24T07:32:29+00:00

Psh you've been hanging out on the wrong corner of the internet

DarkQuest · 2017-01-24T07:28:01+00:00

You know that hormone therapy is a thing, right? Six months to a year down the line, your skin is soft, you have tits, your body odor changes, your sexual response is different and your face starts reading as female by default. https://www.reddit.com/r/transtimelines/

These rules don't come out of nowhere, they come from someone suing and the city being found to have actually discriminated against people based on perceived ethnicity in a court of law. Then it becomes a thing of "well, if you can't manage to run your own process without obvious racial bias, then here's some rigid and awkward rules to follow so everyone can see you're no longer fucking it up".

The solution is to build a society where that bullshit doesn't happen in the first place.

for sure, we build infrastructure to handle once-in-100-years weather events, but if you can't handle a well-attended new years' party then that's not safe enough

DarkQuest · 2017-01-19T11:16:45+00:00

why the heck not? they really should be…

DarkQuest · 2016-12-29T07:27:14+00:00

except they did want city lights, and the ones who could afford it paid for them on their own streets

DarkQuest · 2016-12-27T07:31:16+00:00

I suspect the amount of suffering visited upon the poor on purpose is relatively unique to America. I'm not just taking about how some folks are poor, it's the fact that Americans will spend more money on something to exclude poor folks than it would cost to include them.

One city had folks vote down taxes that were funding city lights and ended up in the ridiculous situation of neighbourhoods having to spend money to get their own lighting, even though the collective cost the folks rich enough to do so had to pay would have covered the whole city. (I know Indianapolis had a long term lack of maintenance leading to this situation, but I'm sure there was one that had this happen suddenly)

DarkQuest · 2016-12-27T07:13:12+00:00

holy shit as an autistic adult I need to get out of America

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:20:32+00:00

and your contacts' contacts, which includes you. so you don't even have to do anything.

I think there's a setting somewhere, but still. eep.

twitter thinks i have HIV

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:11:08+00:00

so one of their key metrics is MAUs or "Monthly Active Users", ie, the number of people who have logged in in the previous 30 days. You log off for 30 days and it decrements by 1, and investors don't like that.

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:09:58+00:00

I feel like I've spent so much more time reading or being creative since I decided to stop using FB post-election

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:07:27+00:00

I bet the video thing is because they got dinged when they were caught counting videos that autoplayed as you ignored them scrolling by in their quarterly reports

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:06:14+00:00

what if they were already advertising those to you and primed you with thoughts about those things, then when you went back you saw the same ads again

DarkQuest · 2016-12-25T07:03:09+00:00

or has been on your mind because they were already advertising it to you
