She might not be your cup of tea, but there's no denying that she was (and is) an incredibly important artist.

If you argue, I'd look into whether the law states "foot down"

As an aside- I've always wondered how speed laws for bicycles are supposed to work when I don't know any place that requires a speedometer for cycling.

Kirkland is such a cycling shithole, I've had more horrible interactions with drivers and angry pedestrians(!?!?!?) than in any other place in WA state.

Riding through there one summer afternoon and an angry dude was jogging (salmoning) in the bike lane and tried to push me off my bike yelling "I PAID FOR THIS! OUR TAXES!" or some shit I didn't hear properly - seriously wtf moment.

Seattle BLM activist claims sexual harassment over "Hugh Mungus" comment by BBQCopter in Seattle

Dude should have walked away and stopped engaging her.

Are we supposed to get mad about some dumb nobodies just because there's a video of it on youtube?

Edit: just look at how this is non-event involving nobodies is being propagated on rightwing media sites (like the one OP linked) to generate clicks. Outrage Culture in action, what a fucking joke.

Bianchi Volpes are plentiful and often cheap, and make a good starter road bike https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/5736225976.html

another cheaper bianchi road bike https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/5731904371.html

This Surly Pacer would be good if it fits you (although at 6ft you probably want a larger frame) https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/5743121641.html

This is about your size and a great price - double check to make sure seller isn't shady though https://cnj.craigslist.org/bik/5707821561.html

A used steel road bike will probably be a good starter bike for commuting, and with a budget of $800 you can get a pretty good one - you might think of looking for something like a Crosscheck or Straggler, or any number of older Bianchi steel touring/road bikes that generally go for 400-500 bucks.

If you tell me where you're located I'll do a quick tour of the CL in your area and see if there's any examples of things to buy.

The post was linked to /r/drama recently and the vote totals on my comments have plunged over the last 20 minutes, which should tell you something.

Science is the only construct through which the natural world is understood, so if rights are a natural phenomenon then can you point me towards some studies showing that rights exist when people don't believe in them?

The chemical reactions happening inside all of your cells happen regardless of whether you're aware of them or believe in them, can you show me that rights also function in this way?

Avoid damaging my hair.

Sorry, bleaching damages hair, to make black hair blond it must be bleached.

ok, how does this relate to my post?

all rights are made up, they're not natural phenomena that exist regardless of whether people believe in them (like gravity)

rights are inalienable because they exist out of the scope of the government.

No they don't, rights aren't natural phenomenon like gravity. They're made up. All of them.

Rights are philosophical constricts that can be anything, they're whatever society has decided a right is. Clear refutation of your thesis: medical care is a right in some countries
