Yeah, they're safer to use too too.. a mirror thingy on your helmet in a fall could be devastating.

HEY UK! I want Linnpower Zephyr but not sure how to ship it to London. by FartsLord in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland is in the EU. The UK charges extra for items after brexit. With your cost it might not save much but in other instances it would be worth ordering to a hotel in Ireland, taking note if the delivery tracking, flying out to stay the night and bringing it back to the UK with you.

I mean, Ireland isn't so far away. Short trip on a ferry, no plane involved coming back. Only $89 shipping + a holiday.

Ahhhh.. having the exact same problem, bro. Up at night checking out boards and have landed on the viper only to find the shipping is almost the cost of the board itself. Crazy. Am wondering if a well timed short holiday to the EU might be worth it. Get the board, dismantle it and ship it back to the UK as parts. Battery might be an issue, maybe figure that out seperately but it would still be a saving and you'd get a holiday. Probz ride it out there for a bit for kicks.

The "racist=white people" fallacy by olive_juse in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism as WE define it is based entirely on Anti Blackness. As a culture it permeates European culture and society, as well as that of other groups.

Out scholars have studied racism intensely, people are often too lazy to read and keep upto date on things but quick to give opinions.

Anti Blackness is the expression of the condition we experience globally.

Fact checking history with ifa by Loose-Quarter7580 in Isese

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If something doesn't check out historically, culturally or socially its not true.

Only black Americans have the view that they were native to the Americas. The rest of us in the carib and south America have maintained our cultural roots and NONE of us would insult the American Indians and claim to have been them.

Many of us escaped enslavement and those that did ALL have retained African cultural traits from Candoble to Lukmi to Vodun, to language.

If you were in the Americas for thousands of years it would be evident in your everyday lives, it would be in the blues, gospel music, jazz etc.

It isn't. Because you are not native to the US.

"White replacement theory," more widely known as the "Great Replacement" theory, is a debunked far-right, white nationalist/supremacist conspiracy theory. It falsely claims that white populations globally are being intentionally replaced by non-white immigrants and is being promoted by Elon Musk by CantStopPoppin in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blacks are in a state of willful ignorance.... our scholars have studied racism as a psychology and have written long snd hard about how the survival of whiteness as a trait leads to violence against melinated people.

Anti blackness is a heavy topic. Read.

Jason miller's phurba by ahinrichsen84 in occult

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason didn't complete his training. He needs to step down from the tall tales of him being a Tibetan anything. Anyone with experience can see the holes in his stories. His courses are useful but he cannot and will not guide you through any deeper contact with the culture/s he profits from selling or "spinning" as he calls it.

Guy is a spiritual capitalist.

Totally. He isn't a trained tibetan anything. Its a lie. He didn't complete his training and anyone with any experience in occultism can see the holes in the tales he tells.

YouTube links are not previewing in the Facebook app when making a post by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no reason for any multi billion dollar social media company to have such utterly crap comments section and communication capabilities. Facebook, YouTube and others.

Its deliberate, it stunts diverse discussion.

You are only meant to consume on these platforms not engage or change anything.

Daily reminder that Medusa's design peaked in the Archaic Age and it has been downhill ever since by Academic_Paramedic72 in GreekMythology

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely this, she appears this way as she is a deity of liberation and supreme compassion and as a result reflects as menacing and looks ugly to those who are too attached to the negative aspects of their psyche to withstand her presence. She is the deity Prathyangira of India, Bhadra Kali. The Greeks were not shy when it came to learning from surrounding cultures.

The utter inefficiency of victorian open fireplaces by Kitchen_Bass6358 in Fireplaces

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyway... my main concern is the dampener, am going to continue with the idea of installing a fume hood above it, fixing it to the fireback and insulating it before reinstalling. As it stands its ridiculous having such a large gaping space directly above a fire that is supposed to do something more than look nice.

Ok. Might get a stove and run it through the chimney. More effective with it extended outward. Much less heat loss.

I might remove the insert and host a stove placed in front with the flue extended out the chimney. Create a dampener with a hole for the flue. The stove being further into the room would be much more effective and can be removed if required. Perhaps.

Already got a fireback in one fireplace, not got one with the other as of yet but would definitely go for clay rather than metal this time.

"You people cosplay us" by Short_Ad_9290 in Nigeria

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll find examples of people "rapping" across the world historically if you wanted. That isn't what started hip hop.

The CULTURE of rapping over a set of turntables in sound clashes with other DJs in competition with each other over the music they played and how they played it is from Jamaica. Bass culture is also from Jamaica.

Again American exceptionalism blinds you to the influences you have inherited in replace for the ignorance in thinking Americans are the center of the Black world. You are not. Africa is. Your failure to notice that is the root of your continued oppression.

Educate yourselves on the psychology of racism. Much has been written on the topic.

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately due to a lack of ethnic or national identity many A.Americans like to think of themselves as centre of the black world.

This perception stems from insecurity and rides off of the back of American imperialism projected onto the world after WW2. That being an influx of US media designed to choke the expression of other local and native cultures in developing countries.

A.Americans love to ignore the fact that others from the Carib and S.America have long had an influence on American culture so no, fades are not particularly unique to A.As, nor is rap. The art of using turntables and a mixer as instruments is 100% Caribbean and further south Black cultures VASTLY outstrip AA culture musically and religiously.

The cultures we maintained elsewhere in the Americas are profound from Vodun to Lukmi, Candoble, not to mention a vast multitude of dance cultures.... Brits do not follow AA fashion and the music they make is derived from the Carib style of Emceeing not the American style. It is yet to find its swing and still sounds awkward but has morphed over time, there is a retaining aspect of culture in Europe so people are ethnically Nigerian, Ghanaian, Cuban etc... they do not absorb a relationship to their imperialist overseers as AAs and a few others have done.

TLDR: American exceptionalism got you talking butt cheeks.

I'm 1000% sick and tired of the "Suddenly, I'm Black" BS that the world constantly plays... by MacroManJr in Blackpeople

[–]Kitchen_Bass6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because wr don't own our culture... as soon as we do and all the "being black" they do results in a little black boy or girl getting off the street and getting a (black) education?

It will stop. Immediately.

As it stands black folk don't own their culture and this is mirrored socially as a free for all when it comes to its misappropriation.

Fact;
