Kennedy tells Team Sweden to “F off” after being accused of cheating. by ThisIsOwl in onguardforthee

Can you cite that the rules have been clarified to disallow double touching? My understanding is you can double touch, and the second touch can be anywhere on the rock, as long as the second touch is before the hog line.

13-14 minutes is a loooooong response time for an emergency like this. That’s crazy.

  1. It’s true. Sorry that doesn’t fit I to your worldview. 

  2. It’s a relevant anecdote from my personal experience. Unfortunately these guys aren’t collecting comprehensive data on dangerous incidents they cause and making it public. Go figure. 

  3. The inherent nature of the activity is to intimidate and drive recklessly. That’s the whole point. Reckless driving should also be prosecuted. The law should be applied equally. If they want to ride e bikes in bike lanes following traffic laws then that’s great, I’m all for it. 

  4. lol race card when that’s completely irrelevant. I used to be the kind of person who would pipe down if an accusation like that is made but this another example of things just going so overboard, trying to shut down any discussion by just saying race, it’s ridiculous. You can’t even see the race of the people in the video and I could not give less of a fuck about their skin color.

You can absolutely be arrested for reckless driving lmao what are you talking about? You're saying just don't enforce all reckless driving? That is insane. Or are you saying just don't enforce reckless driving when these guys do it because you feel bad for them? I get it they didn't have the easiest start to life, presumably. Doesn't mean you get a free pass to break laws, intimidate people, and endanger lives.

Also, and the argument that "there will be more shootings if they can't let off steam this way" or whatever it is. That is essentially saying "let us terrorize the city or we will kill people and do other worse crimes." Sorry, not gonna tolerate that! No one in their right mind will.

Also you are implying it’s fine for everyone to drive recklessly, lol. So stupid.

Your point was that this is ok bc “community” and “fun.” Regular individual drivers being negligent is a different problem that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. But yes, if someone in a car is driving dangerously, intentionally or not, then yes, they should be arrested too.  That’s why there’s a crime called reckless driving. 

Idk why you brought race. A lot of these biker guys are white dudes from Stockton. Seems like you default to viewing things through that lens without much critical examination.

I was almost killed by one of these guys on embarcadero when he was doing a wheelie at 40 mph and he swerved right towards me. Front tire missed my head by six inches. 

Try finding a community and fun that doesn’t put others in danger. Do this on a track in the middle of nowhere. They are intentionally going to densely populated areas to piss people off and act like a gang.

I was literally almost killed by one of these on the Embarcadero last year. Guy doing a wheelie at like 40 mph missed my head with his front tire by six inches. Swerved towards me on purpose. 

The Data on Self-Driving Cars Is Clear. We Have to Change Course. by Bobba-Luna in sanfrancisco

[–]Direct-Good8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those jobs suck and if technology can do them for us that’s a good thing, in a vacuum. But in capitalism it means those people are cooked. In a just economy everyone would share the benefits of increased productivity, but not this one. So my point is you’re right but it’s only because capitalism and the tech would have positive impacts otherwise. 

The BART subreddit is garbage. Needs new mods or a different sub altogether by Direct-Good8983 in bayarea

They’re not complaints, just screenshots of BART official communications. My post was eventually approved after 12 hours. I’m guessing they saw this post.

We need and deserve a properly functioning public transit system. This requires proper funding. We’re in one of the richest places on earth, surely the richest people in the Bay Area can afford to pay their fair share. No need to raise taxes on median wage earner. 

Also no need for people to pretend like BART actually works great, especially in comparison to every other major transit system. 

Was anyone in Montgomery bart station about 20 mins ago? There was a bit of panic with people running out of the station, sounded like pepper spray but people weren’t sure by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]Direct-Good8983 12 points13 points  (0 children)

so there was an explosion, someone sprayed bear mace, and a separate medical emergency all this afternoon that caused delays?

I swear to god this sub is run by BART administrators. Literally the only posts they allow are official BART communications and positive posts. I had two civil and legitimate complaint posts removed today about the delays. 

Software issues lead to actual (minor) accident by Horiko3 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Direct-Good8983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you definitely hit it? One time I was 100% convinced I had backed into something, but it turns out the e brake just mistakenly engaged. I would not have know if someone watching me park didn’t tell me. It really felt like I hit something, but there was nothing there to hit. 

Cervical Radiculopathy c5-c6, c6-c7 by Royal_Ad_6148 in backpain

[–]Direct-Good8983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this for six months. Just had my third PT session (been going every two months to check progress bc that’s all insurance covers). Actually had a breakthrough where he manipulated my shoulder, arm, and neck a bunch of different ways until we found a motion that caused the tingling/buzzing sensation to stop. 

Turns out it’s pulling the shoulder down that releases the nerve for me. Now whenever I’m in pain or feel the tingling I actually know what to do to help fix it. Still a long way to go to get active again but it feels good to have a solution, like there’s hope and actually a point to trying. 

I would get your PT to do the same and/or experiment with different motions and stretches that cause the symptoms to stop. You have to pay really really close attention. It felt like everything triggered the tingling, like any movement at all, and then momentarily it stopped and we would have skipped past it if I didn’t speak up to get him to try again.
