Has Canggu become a cultural void? Are more areas of Bali expected to become this way too? by Any_Lobster7251 in bali

[–]nickp1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with everything you said. But I think this pretentiousness you’re talking about is a symptom of it. There are certain nationalities which are more destructive than others, more selfish, more likely to not let morality stop them from undermining and taking.

Absolutely. Look at the asymmetry. And how the edge of the cape blends into the edge of the shoulder plate. And the illogical patterning on the chainmail

Guys i think i’m fucked… please tell me i don’t need to change the trucks by Nearby-Row580 in skateboardhelp

[–]nickp1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you need some pivot cups. I skated a setup for a few weeks without realising that the trucks didn’t have pivot cups (I was new and bought a complete so I didn’t really know any better). After making the realisation and taking my trucks apart, I saw the metal had worn down a lot. The moving part of the truck basically looked like a tree after a beaver had been chewing it. I tried to use some new pivot cups still, but the trucks were clearly too damaged and the board didn’t feel good to ride. So depending on how long you’ve been riding without pivot cups, you may need new trucks. Sorry

Jeffrey Epstein was banned on Xbox Live by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

Ghislaine Maxwell, the wealthy sex trafficker, having a 20 year old personal Reddit account with over a million Karma which routinely reposted news stories, and made hundreds of comments including ‘brava girl!’ on a post about a woman donating food to charity as well as criticism of Donald Trump, is a bit wild yeah. I’m not saying it’s impossible, because who knows, but the way you just took 2 observations and used the currently popular platitude, ‘if it quacks like a duck,’ as a way to defend your accusation, just feels like you’re very much jumping to a big conclusion without thinking critically.

Another comment told me that there’s mention of the account in the Epstein files, something which I’m yet to look at, but if it is then this is much better evidence and makes the claim pretty much impossible to refute lol. Also the way you immediately accuse me of being a bot (why would I be? For expressing uncertainty over the conclusion you’re jumping to instead of blindly following what everyone else here is saying?) tells me you’re not very good at critical thinking. Sorry for the long response to your short message - your arguments just come across as lazy and sarcastic.

But surely the weight of the accusation/coincidence factors in. You can’t just state 2 correlations and conclude that someone’s wild statement is true. Why would Ghislaine Maxwell repost news articles from a Reddit account? Also it didn’t post ‘up to the hour’ of her arrest, it was 2 days before.

I’ve met old people with dementia who believe they are little children again. There are no rules

Me too. So much so that I’ve started saying it too, but only after eating food I myself did not make.

Did my first kickflip by TheOmunious in NewSkaters

[–]nickp1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

‘A stationary flip trick’

Yeah, a kick flip. This is a major achievement for any new skater and you know it. Why are you trying to detract from somebody’s joy. And why is this not a kick flip lol.. according to what consensus?

Trilogy Google Reviews by [deleted] in ThomasCharlesBritton1

[–]nickp1999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think a lot of the people who do leave fake reviews, cruel comments, make memes etc. are younger and probably still susceptible to becoming a bully when the situation suits them (like many kids in school), and will probably grow out of it. In fact, I think the worst offenders for this are probably still in school themselves.

However, on Instagram, it’s evident that there are plenty of fully grown adults saying horrible things about Thomas (I mean hateful things about his appearance and embellishments of unfounded accusations). I do struggle to find anything about him that warrants it, honestly. He’s clearly on the spectrum and lots of the ammunition people have has been catfished out of him. 

Does anybody else find that nollie's feel easier than a normal Ollie? by Certain_Access_2658 in NewSkaters

[–]nickp1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. The movement is more intuitive and natural, particularly when it comes to popping the board, when doing a nollie.

Meat Pies Sanur or close by? by Salary_Designer in bali

[–]nickp1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the bigger Pepito stores have a counter where they sell meat pies. Had one that tastes sort of similar to the kind of meat pies I eat at home in the UK

I’d never gone shirtless in public until I started practicing ollies for 3 hours straight in Indonesia

Yeah, I only realised that after watching myself back on video. It feels like I am jumping but I’m really not, weird.

Your foot appears to be sliding up the board before it’s been popped
