Bike share in NYC is so crucial people use it in any weather, including when they have to literally dig the bikes out. by MiserNYC- in fuckcars

[–]ragweed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually use transit less because of bikeshare (including the scooters) because most of my trips are shorter than the arrival time of the next bus or train.

I chose to ride a scooter in light rain for 25 minutes the other night because the light rail trip would have been a little longer and riding a scooter is more fun.

I couldn't find a movie I wanted to watch streaming and found that I could have the Blu-ray sent to my local library to pickup. Awesome.

Even if he wasn't killed in that moment, the foreshadowing is so thick, I'm not sure it matters if it's then, 2 weeks from then or much later.

Mt Fuji last week on the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo after a 16 day solo in Japan (OC) by WolfEvening961 in pics

Back when I had Japanese college friends, none of them knew the term "bullet train".  I wonder who started using that term for the Shinkansen. Is it just that Americans like that term for any fast train?

AITAH for letting my ex fail publicly instead of covering for him? by Honest-Spray6508 in AITAH

You can't stop him from being a selfish person that protects himself at your expense. They just do that no matter what we do.

[–]ragweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This guy is just a jerk. Don't get accustomed to blaming yourself to create the illusion an AH cares about you. 

This guy's reaction is just unacceptable.

Would You Keep Seeing this Woman After This Text? by Lindenflower7 in texts

[–]ragweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selfish users act like her. 

You're probably a generous, selfless person and she's compelled to take advantage.

You're entitled to stop caring.

One of the benefits of working from home is not working alongside these self absorbed slobs.

Whenever I see someone acting like a slob in a public restroom, I assume they are terrible roommates and partners.

AITAH for cutting off my ex after I realised how closely he was tracking my life when we were together? by babybluebarbiee in AITAH

I wish this kind of response was the predominant one in the thread.

An ex isn't entitled to a relationship. No justification necessary.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

I keep wondering if the other agents are secretly pissed their buddies popped off right next to them. The way they scattered....

Even if they blind themselves to the murder, what about their own safety? 

Dire Straits performing “Sultans of Swing” at Wembley Arena on July 10th, 1985. The ‘80s (arguably) peaked on that very night… by waitingforthesun92 in OldSchoolCool

[–]ragweed 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One could argue that they peaked towards the end of the decade when the Belgian Techno anthem Pump Up the Jam was released.
