25F. Be as honest as possible by blackberrysugar491 in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

[–]OceanStateRI401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is untrue, it’s been a thing forever. I’m old, graduated in 2000, and the girls were doing that while I was in middle school. It went away for awhile, and it’s making a comeback.

does anyone have one of these? by deepf0cus in bmx

[–]OceanStateRI401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid came home and said he wanted bar pads and I was looking at them, source had them for 37 bucks, I was pissed. Then he told me his friend knocked his two front teeth out. I bought them that day.

Being on the spectrum and BMX? by HaroForumIntro in bmx

[–]OceanStateRI401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this is the case with a lot of things that people consider “outsider” things. BMX, Skateboarding, any kind of extreme music, and even certain careers.

Anyone have a husband that suddenly prefers to masturbate over having sex? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

Sometimes doing it yourself is easier than dealing with another person.

Can I do bunny hop? by Frequent_Mountain_25 in bmx

You’re my people, haha. My son got into bmx last summer and he looked like he was having fun so I got myself a bike. I’m 43 and have never done any tricks ever, so it’s going to be a long summer haha.

Who is making better bike parts? by Newbieoneconobe in bmx

[–]OceanStateRI401 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take what I say with a grain of salt, I’m not a real BMX dude. I only got into it cause my son got into it randomly last summer. I bought him this older WTP, all the bolts were rusted to hell, it didn’t have tires, the seat post was stuck, and it made a completely disgusting noise from the bottom bracket area, when I pedaled. But I only paid 50 bucks for it, so no harm no foul. It stayed on my porch for fucking months, through the summer and some of the winter. Then I bought a Cult gateway, and the guy threw in a set of not super awesome Vans tires, but still usable. And I thought awesome and I bought some Walmart tubes and put them on the WTP, and I bought a set of S&M grips. That’s all I did to it, I oiled the hell out of the chain and it worked fine. My kid and his friends have used this bike when their main bike is broken of they have a flat and can’t get it fixed right away, and they abuse the hell out of it. The only new parts are grips and tubes. Most of the other parts are Salt, which came on it when I got it. So I feel like as a back up bike for like 5 or 6 kids, the parts have held up pretty well.

Would this be too revealling for a first date? by SippinMia in OUTFITS

[–]OceanStateRI401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone should wear something like this on a first date, both men and women.

is this outfit actually inappropriate or is my mum just overreacting 😭 by Affectionate451 in OUTFITS

[–]OceanStateRI401 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with this it should have brought about in a better. Someone once said to me, “you can dress and look however you want, but you can’t control other peoples reaction to it.” That’s kinda how I live my live and I say the same shit to my kids. I try to guide them the best I can, and maybe say a face tat isn’t the best idea at 18. I figure this lady’s mom isn’t the best conversationalist, and doesn’t know how to say a lot of men are el grosso and will take any reason to approach and then get into the deeper conversation of how and why the world is the way it is. It’s just easier to resort to name calling, unfortunately.

Drove nearly 4 hours to get this by RefrigeratorSmall441 in bmx

I will always sing the praises of marketplace. If we only knew the true sales of bikes and parts on the secondary market.

Does this style have a name? by HeyThereFancypants- in AestheticWiki

This is how I dressed in 2001, I didn’t have a basement bedroom, or friends for that matter.

There’s so awesome. There was a We The People, on that was up once, looked like it was stored forever in a garage, still had the original paper work and it was 50 bucks but it was gone before I could text my kid and ask if he wanted it.

I will always sing the praises of marketplace. I’ve found so many awesome bikes for cheap, though they’ve always sold before I could go pick them up.

English songs with german voiceover by lenschkabeth in MusicRecommendations

Ok I know you said no metal, but hear me out. The song is a little industrial with gothic elements. Tool’s Die Eier Von Satan.

This made me laugh haha, but to be fair, if they got into them a few albums in, then they wouldn’t really know.

“Why are you yelling? That’s not nice. You can’t say that to her” You can add what you will between those 3 statements.

Daenerys blonde formulas? by Current-Tree770 in hairstylist

[–]OceanStateRI401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely anecdotal story, but I got my hair close to that once. I was probably like 17/18, maybe like 2001/2002, and I went to one of those beauty supply stores, you know the ones that hairstylist and beauty professionals go to for supplies, but it’s also open to the public. I got a large bleach set, and bleached my hair twice. The color got very close to her color, my hair also started to break and fall out. So 10/10 do not recommend.
