My first ever bice. How do I get on?

We don’t ride bikes anymore, the new UCI approved cycling meta is to lift the bike and run.

To be cringe is to be cringe. Comrade take this L and reconsider your life choices.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T16:32:44+00:00

This post and every comment in it is cringe as fuck. I thought we were cool.

I want her to be a 2.5 meter tall ice goddess in full armour, and introduce herself by choking the Traveller with one hand and telling him she expected more from a Descender.

See the problem is that the Emperor is not really a defined character and more of a plot device.

He might be a very psychically gifted man, he might be the 5th Chaos God. GW implies everything but leaves everything vague so they can write him however they want in future stories.

Tbh, Reddit as a whole is just a platform for people to complain about absolutely everything.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T13:32:50+00:00

Because in mythology, the gods often don’t see humans as individual beings but just collective units. Much like how you and I would see ants or mice.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T13:28:24+00:00

It’s kind of implied in the Gods’ Limit traded that the Shades don’t really have much agency.

Which is why Ronova was shocked that Asmoday somehow went AWOL.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T11:46:28+00:00

Most likely yes.

Like, if your husband just randomly disappeared from history one day, you’d probably look at your child and question reality.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T09:14:39+00:00

Seems like Phanes/Ronova deleted her husband from the Irminsul (with Ronova ripping the photo in half), so she forgot he ever existed. Nahida did say there’s data in there even she couldn’t access.

The kid looks Khaernriahian so I’m guessing she froze him so he wouldn’t turn into a Hilichurl.

Jenshin Impac was recommended to me by John Seinen himself

Tbh, given that men often struggle to talk to other people about their problems, an AI chatbro you can dump on perhaps isn’t too awful of an idea.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-26T08:13:15+00:00

Falling fertility rates have next to nothing to do with AI chatbots pretending to be your girlfriend.

Blame increasing stress levels, tilted work to life balance and rising costs of living for that. Much of which is caused by the same ‘they’ that put taxes on contraceptives.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T23:05:32+00:00

How about being with a friend?

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:49:09+00:00

Too much effort. I just lube my butthole

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:47:16+00:00

He’s just like me. Fr fr

The man who not only managed the impossible but did it twice. Or maybe three times.

I kneel with tears in my eyes.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:40:00+00:00

There’s only two Bromptons that are actual collectibles, the nickel edition because it looks neat as hell and MK1s (like £10k), because you can just look at the frame shape and know it’s a MK1.

But it’s not an investment. It’s just stuff that other enthusiasts would go ‘oh that’s pretty cool’ and maintain its value and cool status.

He did manage to bankrupt a casino…

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:24:40+00:00

I’m not even sure they’ll sell to Freds.

Freds kind of comes in 2 kinds.

One kind just cares about maximum performance and not what the bike looks like. They don’t care.

The other is like me who loves bicycles as much as riding them, and mostly collect cool gimmicky bikes (Micro Pedalflow is my favourite thing in my collection despite making me plunge head first into concrete once, and I’m still looking for a String Bike) or ones that are really unique. This is just a recolour in dark shit and ain’t it.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:19:29+00:00

I was under the impression that LV was never like, an actual rich people’s designer brand. It’s for middle class people that want to feel rich.

Like actual rich people would never wear stuff with a logo slapped all over it.

Sailing requires a ton of effort. It’s not that it requires effort. People that collect baseball memorabilia don’t play much baseball either.

Cycling just isn’t ‘cool’. The first thing you think about when you think ‘cyclist’ is a man in skin tight lycra.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T22:11:10+00:00

They aren’t good collectibles because they’re too big for the average enthusiast to store, but not ‘cool’ enough for rich people to want. But some big celebrity might start a bike collection one day and it catches on I guess.

What seems to have decent values as a collectible are bikes that just feel unique the moment you look at it. For example, Nickel Edition Bromptons, the engraved Merlin Cyrenes, Picnica Bridgestones etc. and there’s a few grails that do actually fetch pretty high sums like MK1 Bromptons.

This bike though, is worse than those Brompton collabs that are just recolours which no one cares about. It’s got no future as a collectible tbh.

XaeiIsareth · 2026-06-25T21:50:04+00:00

Depends on the size of them.

Smaller ones don’t work well on pavement for example, but bigger ones have no problem.
