In his defense I think Natalya called her biscuit butt. In his not defense, Natalya is also incredibly horny and not allowed to post in the wrestling subforum.

Not buying a car translates easily into 4000 to 6000 Wendy’s 4 for $4 meals, and that’s a lot.

PurpleXVI posted:It's not the future I want... it's the present I'm living, and it owns. Yeah, same. I can go just everywhere I need to go, on my bike or via public transit. In those cases where I need a car, I'll rent one (per-hour rental/carshare services are great!). My girlfriend and I could easily afford to buy a car, we just don't want or need to. But not everyone is lucky enough to be able to avoid owning a car, because they live outside of the larger cities, and the places they need to go are too far apart to bike. 100% of middle class Danes can absolutely afford at least one car, though.

Bismuth posted:Why do these morons always blame the present (if D) for gas price hikes and not like...the gas companies? Do they think the governments own the gas companies? There's glib one-liners to be made here and earnest videos explaining how gas prices work which can be sent around and all, but I tend to think this is kind of the logical result of decades of history teaching turning into memes and sound bites. There was once a time when you could read a history book and it would say things like "FDR's New Deal policies led to an unprecedented government reinvestment in the American economy and a tremendous decrease in unemployment" or "the 1973 oil embargo caused such a fuel shortage that American automakers overnight redesigned their entire product lines to be more fuel efficient" and these events just sound so far-reaching, so upsetting to the daily normal order of life, that you as a kid come away from it with the impression that world events that affect you personally are in the hands of the guy at the big desk. Then, in a time when even the biggest of big deals (covid, 9/11) really don't make that much of an impact on your day-to-day, naturally you want to imagine they do anyway because you're in the mindset that what's happening today is every bit as important as some stuff in a book from decades ago. But that book history all reads like a narrative, with X person to blame for Y and policy A responsible for causing effect B, so you want to be able to say the same thing about whatever looks momentous in our own little provincial world of meme tweets and MCU movies. Q people all talk like every event is a piece of the narrative puzzle and they write these long posts full of strung-together meaningless pseudo-militaristic phrases like "lock and load, hold the line, trust the plan, say the quiet part loud" because that's how their brains are wired to work from a lifetime of treating the news like a narrative, with good guys and bad guys, people pushing buttons and making LOUD ANGRY HEADLINE, FOX NEWS ALERT happen. Honestly it's incredible in the face of that pressure that someone could believe the president and his lever is NOT the sole factor in how much number goes up when they fill up their car.

I read james joyce and he definitely should be read. Never read his books but you should absolutely read his letters to his wife, I see why he is so highly regarded. Maybe if james patterson wrote that well he would get more work, just saying.

Up north like in that video it's actually nicer because they have proper hard snow. But even here you have lots of winter bikers even if I don't do it.

In Sweden, and same. If you've got winter tyres it's not all that difficult to ride a bike in winter, it just takes longer.

I've always supported getting rid of the "old white men" and "classics" of literature when teaching because many were provably bad people we could replace or cut from the curriculum, not to mention the many required reading texts of a middle age man afraid of being cuckolded. Many classics are great, but a lot of the ones being read in schools are not aimed at kids, have antiquated ideas, and won't disappear if the student doesn't read it now. But no, there is simply no dystopian novels aimed at kids, we MUST use 1984 and we MUST awkwardly shuffle through Winston fantasizing about sexually assaulting and murdering a colleague

Here's how a book becomes a classic: 1. Someone -- usually a white man in academia -- writes an article about why he likes it 2. A bunch of people go "yeah, sure, let's go with that"
