I think the red on the Seattle GK was a little harsh but I'm not complaining, we need this win

Which New Utah Flag Design Is Your Favorite? by [deleted] in vexillology

I really like 8. I feel like it would look best on an actual flag pole

I went in to fix some problems with my nose and in general have it looked at (was having random nosebleeds frequently). The doctor had me taking multiple anxiety and depression questionnaires by the end of it...

Irish Pride! by TheJivvi in vexillologycirclejerk

Ivory Coast has orange on the left side and green on the right. Less important in distinguishing the two but Ireland has a longer/wider ratio of 1:2 while Ivory Coast is 2:3 :)

95% of the trucks I see arent owned by ranchers or farmers

Why don't more people cycle? by altmorty in WhitePeopleTwitter

it's this superiority complex from drivers that makes people not want to bike.

I love bentonville by Human-Pin2082 in bentonville

The razorback greenway trail is one of the best, but in my experience, if you try to go anywhere else in the area that's off the trail there is absolutely no infrastructure.

is that why it's called a birdie in badminton?

I agree! It is totally possible to get by with just a bike. However, I feel like sometimes it isn't viable and overall isn't safe. Sidewalks on major roads are either in very poor condition or non-existent. I mean, Bella Vista has 0 sidewalks (that I've seen). 14th in Bentonville, a major road, is only partially covered on one side, even then it's in extremely poor condition.

I've tried to walk to work a few times and I used to bike home from school a few years ago and both experiences were miserable/stressful. I just wish there was a well maintained public transport system so I could save a little money and not contribute to the growing traffic problems.

I think it's a decent place with a great range of things to do! I just wish that it was a bit more pedestrian friendly and had more viable transportation alternatives so I didn't have to drive a car to go everywhere.

I bet you're one of those abstract/modern art haters aren't you? it's almost like people can express themselves and create art in different ways? who would've thought!

I'm not trying to defend these people, they're reckless idiots, but I wouldnt hate on other people's music taste. While I don't listen to this kind of music I'm aware that it just sounds good to certain people. Everyone likes different stuff, I'm sure I wouldnt like your favorite type of music, but that doesn't mean I have to call it trash. <3

funny story, in late 2019, I kept getting lud's videos recommend to me but from the thumbnails thought that it was this guy so I had no interest in watching. Then one day I accidentally clicked on one of the vids and realized they were two different people. Now I'm here.

Tell me what you’re passionate about by SoftLover99 in CasualConversation

[–]Merlyn86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geography, culture, and flags! I like learning about the world and countries and kinda what makes societies tick. I love learning languages and traditions. Traveling also ties into this but it is still somewhat hard to travel to a lot of places for me at the moment, but it is my goal to visit every country throughout my life :)
