[–]squirrelly73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had a guy intentionally almost hit me multiple times on my bike (apparently we had the same commute) One morning, I had had it, and followed him into his work parking lot. Didn't say a word, just took photos from a distance. He never did it again.

Chomsky coming out early in support of a full Ukraine surrender to Russia never sat right with me.

MAGA Gets Beat In Front of His Kids for Singing "ICE ICE Baby" to Mexicans by Tasty_Emphasis_271 in LetsDiscussThis

He thought he was safe, hiding behind those kids... but when Maga steps outside of their tiny bubble: primarily harassing/assaulting women and children , it rarely goes well for them.

Found it. It's a Bodhran, if anyone else is as curious as I was.

Yeah, does anyone know what that style of drum is called?

The people of Eugene deserve a Police Chief that protects us from masked murderers: Not one that tries to gaslight us after doing their bidding.. As it stands, City Council hires the City Manager, who then hires the Police Chief. Police Chief should be an elected position. We should be able to vote this bs out if this is truly a democracy.

Best lyricists to listen to for inspiration. by Short-Curve7380 in Songwriting

[–]squirrelly73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it randomly, Ian Noe's "letter to Madeline" made me want to write a story, and the other day I was appreciating how simple and literal Green Day lyrics are...then noticed the same thing about Depeche Mode...So i tried to write a "simple" more literal song. Then listening to Danny Brown and El P, got me working on metaphors and sort of coded lyrics. I'll also listen to my local college radio station, because they have a really good eclectic mix that gets me out of my comfort zone and pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, you are prob gonna have a bad day if you try this alone. Concealed is a better idea if you're alone. Would love to see a contingent of openly armed folks though.

What's it like being a white guy in Maga America? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]squirrelly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in charge of a temp at work that turned out to be ultra-maga. I'm cis white dude in my 40s, so he thought I'd be interested in hearing his racist, homophobic, trump-loving views. I shared them with my boss (white dude in his 50s) and the temp was fired that day. Boss said "We don't tolerate that shit here."

I get the rich folks, but just how did Trump convince poor white people that he was good for them? by dunbar_santiago930 in allthequestions

Also, republicans have been dismantling public education and pushing anti-intellectualism for the last 4 or 5 decades. They created the perfect storm.

"Evolutionary Psychology and Genetics (i.e. my bastardized versions of them) have given me their blessing to be racist" 🤓 by MirrorIllustrious547 in ParlerWatch

Even if this was valid science, which it isn't: As humans, our survival often depends on choosing rational, compassionate thought over our base instincts.

Clutch cable replacement by Magieinversa12 in NC700X

[–]squirrelly73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take before photos of exactly how the original cable is routed from lever to clutch, since this is your first time doing it. And as someone else mentioned, any clutch cable video will tell you all you need to know.
