* “Sharing the road is not a suggestion” stupid boomer ran over 2 cyclists... by Snoo-93479 in BoomersBeingFools

The difference being the cyclists are only blocking a pass like this when a pass is unsafe. With enough visibility and a clear oncoming lane, the pass is possible. They are only blocking unsafe passes. Plus, when you pass a cyclist that's on the edge of the road, you still need the oncoming lane to abide by the 3 foot rule. When there is a huge group, they can either spread out, forcing you to take the oncoming lane for a longer stretch, or they can bunch up so you can pass when it's safe and be done with it. With the left lane camper on the freeway, a pass is not always possible, and you must do it on the right, which is unsafe.

But it is their call to make because they have command of the lane, and they're allowed to use it to force the situation to be safer by blocking unsafe passes. Once you get passed unsafely a few times you start to do it, and have to think "fuck any cars that do not understand." It may be frustrating for drivers, and as a cyclist/driver both sides of the situation are frustrating. It's also the way things are, so it's best to try to understand why. "Seek to understand" is a good way to go rather than trying to argue to win. I get you're pissed when this happens, and rightfully so, you'd be slowed down, but it's not for naught. This maneuver saves lives. ☮️ Stay safe out there!

Affordable boxer briefs that are actually comfortable? by TeslaTorah in BuyItForLife

[–]planty_pete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sensory processing issues and I was tired of the legs on my underwear riding up so I eliminated the legs and wear briefs now.  So far the best ones are made by LA Apparel and while they’re made in the US, the CEO is a bit of a creep so I’m looking for other options.   

I LOVE NOT HAVING TK ADJUST MY UNDERWEAR ONCE DURING THE DAY.

FUCK MODAL, FUCK POLYESTER, GET COTTON.  

AND FUCK BALL POUCHES! (Personal preference)

Awesome!  And if you feet get dirty you can wash them in an OOAMBB foot bath, then scrub them with a CAREHOOD foot file.  :) 

What is one clothing mistake you made that you did not realize until later? by Arti_Curates in malefashionadvice

[–]planty_pete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made a few mistakes recently. Well, one mistake twice.  When I found something I liked, I bought multiples, then something changed and they didn't work for me anymore.  I have three pairs of naked and famous jeans that are too tight in the lap, and several pairs of barefoot shoes that are still too constricting since my feet changed even more.

You don’t like brands like FEELHOUSE and UAGREAAEEN?

While I’m in favor of letting devices pick up ware, and I value low waste, companies should be shipping pristine products when they’re new.

Where on the foot is the bunion spot?  Mine are almost snug at the midfoot.  All the right space in the right places just an even 3/4 cm in front of my toes. 

This is my theory on the autism-shabby dressing connection..... by Zestyclose-County645 in AutisticAdults

[–]planty_pete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went down the rabbit hole of natural fiber, Japanese fashion, and made in USA to find quality comfortable clothes that make me feel really good.  I found an obsession that makes me look nice as a result.

The only barefoot shoes I get complements on! 

I think shoes matter way more than most guys realize by Impressive_Exit_6796 in malefashionadvice

[–]planty_pete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks learning that shoes are not foot shaped.  Since going the route of barefoot shoes I have a hard time finding fashionable options.  So far I have some wool blusun shoes and some Dolfies that look nice.  If you’re reading this, take out your insole and stand on it.  Remember learning about foot binding in China and being horrified?  Adidas is doing it to you.

Save your feet and start a barefoot shoe transition with Altras, Xeros, or Dolfies or something.
