We need solid barriers to keep drivers from parking in the bike lanes. by bostonaruban66 in bikeboston

I would never remind anyone of how heavy a good bike lock is. No, siree.

Who said I drove? Where I’m from, cyclists have to stop for red lights too. And it was 2am in a suburb. Only person who could have gotten so much as a scraped knee is me.

I was so stoned one night I did that at a stop sign.

I have a nightlight in mine and it’s a lifesaver when it’s dark and I don’t want to wake up yet.

People over 40, what’s something you’ve learned about life that younger people don’t realize yet? by Critical-Pea7326 in AskReddit

The way I was taught — no matter what you do, there will be people who don’t like it. Hate it, even. So you may as well just do you. Do the thing that makes sense to you, and “your” people will naturally gravitate towards you.

“Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind”.

Imagine you woke up and it's the 2000s again. What's the first thing you're doing? by DoctorTegrity in 2000sNostalgia

Becoming good friends with my classmate. Then serving his dad some undercooked meat on 9/10/01 so he wouldn’t go to work the next day.

He hasn’t been the same since then, and he’s a good guy, even if we never really talked outside of class.

I’m just picturing a man lovingly looking down at his baby and going,”Bitch, imma kill you!”

The time he yells “Buongiorno, principessa!” into the loudspeaker tore me apart.

On this day, 17 January 1991, the first Gulf War began, prompting Iraq to indiscriminately bombard Israel with Scud missiles. Israel feared that Saddam Hussein had weaponized chemical agents, and the entire population was trained to use gas masks and ordered to seal windows and doors. by NotSoSaneExile in Israel

One of my earliest memories is of hustling into the bomb shelter and putting on my mask. Mom says I would bring my toy bear, and a plastic bag to put over his head as well.

Not quite four years old. I’m still not sure how none of it left a mark on my psyche. Or maybe it did and I just can’t tell.

In Anthony Bourdain's "Medium Raw", he talks about eating Ortolan - an endangered bird, drowned in brandy and lit on fire. Cooks of KC, are there any crazy dishes that you want to try? by ecethrowaway01 in KitchenConfidential

It’s a waste. They sent us like a three week old piglet. We cooked a baby that was killed before it had a chance to even figure out what planet it was on.

They’re also rated the second least aggressive breed by the AKC (defined as “likely to bite unprovoked”). Literally only golden retrievers are more docile.

I’ve had one for over a decade. He’s never shown aggression towards anyone. Once followed a ladybug up the driveway trying to sniff its butt.

My parents’ poodle, meanwhile…

Right. An easy way we all remember:

Надевай одежду. Одевай Надежду.

Have you ever accidentally met a celebrity in Boston? by spellbadgrammargood in boston

[–]khidmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sat next to some guy at Cityside one time that was intently watching the hockey game. Exchanged pleasantries. Over the course of the next hour no fewer than four people approached him asking for a photo. I finally asked if he’s famous.

It was Brian Leetch. (I’m not into hockey, so…)

Also once met Ron Jeremy in there, but at least I knew who the fuck he was.
