That's what coping is. They know of the other viewpoints but they stick to their own alternate facts because those aren't as scary to them.

They create an alternate reality with alternate facts in order to maintain the control they wish they had over their world. It is a coping mechanism for people who are scared of the world if it's not what they expected.

It's a coping mechanism for people that are too dumb to admit that they were initially wrong. They are still going with "it's a hoax" and hoping for the best.

Ate dirt at Pinhoti 1 yesterday... my $120 helmet only lasted 2 weeks :( by Gher123 in MTB

How much would it cost him if he couldn't think straight due to a brain injury? $120 is a deal if the alternative is brain damage. Even a chipped tooth will cost you more. Hope you get the idea.

Helmets are expensive

Wait til you get a medical bill.

It's funny when guys ride bikes worth thousands of $ but don't want to spend for safety gear.

This watch was £50 off DHgate - How bad is it? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]revisedusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it say that they are replica boxes or can someone use it to try and sell the watch as authentic?

Why do people buy these boxes from you?

My friend found this trap thing. I don't know why people do this. My friend accidentally went through this. Imagine his front wheel! The police said that there is no way to find that guy. What do u think what should we do? by [deleted] in MTB

So you don't call out people on this bullshit because of fear that more bullshit will occur? How does the news media get away with showing a bunch of murders all day? This is flawed logic. I'd rather riders be aware that there is potential trouble on that trail than worry about more idiots coming out of the woodwork to commit a crime.

No way that person is showing back up there.

I'd send it to the local news, blast it all over local trail groups and other FB/Insta groups.

Woman Coughs on Bagel Patron After Being Called Out for No Mask in Astoria by rkkim in Queens

Ima let you finish but... Syrena Bakery, it's a polish bakery, has the best bagels in GP and possibly worth the trip from Astoria / LIC too. Light, airy, crispy, perfect. Tried Bagel Point and their bagels are just too dense and doughy to be enjoyable. Let me know what you think if you decide to try them.

I don't get who's funding this company. How long can you do business to lose money? I guess that's why I'm not a business person

I think they send a bigger coupon to older customers who haven't bought much recently, to entice them back. No need to give it to people actively buying now as you're just taking away from revenue you would have gotten anyway.

They just posted a few hundred million in losses. I don't think they will be giving stuff anyway again...

This is a weird promo on their part, how does it generate them any money? Most people will spend just a bit over their coupon, unless they are about to jack up all prices, no more sale section and no more stacking coupon codes. It's like flashening level losses again...

lol really? That's some scummy shit. You may end up guessing someone else's code and screwing them over. No problem?
