E-bikes are a thing

This is the perfect companion to the non-alcoholic beer thread. Do we have a third thread to add for a trifecta of lameness?

The fact that you see the world as lame leads me to believe that you don't regard yourself very highly, for if you did, you could see the good in things. You continually come here to post your ugliness. Accept yourself so that you can accept others.

Please don't come back at with me with more ugliness, I am not looking to go back and forth, that goes against in what I believe.

we could start a poll concerning this person contemplating the use of the legal system to get justice.

The Francis’s of the site need to lighten up. I see the world as beautiful actually, I can’t get enough of it, but there is lameness in it also, and I call it like I see it. Opinions are cool until they don’t agree with the common narrative, huh?

As far as this chick is concerned, this should go in the Darwinism thread. Her second mistake was washing her hair, water is the catalyst to harden Gorilla glue, her third was sharing her idiocy with the world. I say let her sue, it’ll be entertaining, no?

but it didn't say 'not for use on hair'
i regularly ate the desiccant packages that came with all the electronics until i was told not to. way tougher to overcome than alc.
and i'm also upset that i can't supertuck or place my hands anywhere but on the handlebars anymore - this was a staple of the WWW
(Wild West Wheelmen Wheelpersons) - UCI helicoptering in. i was thinking that the bike should be tethered to the rider,
just in case it gets away, it can't fly into the crowd, or create a secondary obstacle away from the rider. - minimally it could disconnect the down tube motor.

Wait... there's a non-alcoholic beer thread and Darwinism thread?

I guess this is kind of like no one telling George that he couldn't have sex with the cleaning lady.

This is 2021, someone will always helicopter in to make things "fair" or save us from ourselves.

Why does she need to sue? She has a go fund me page so others can pay her dumb ass for being a chode

cause a lawyer is going to do pro bono work to get some publicity, just like the dr that is going to attempt the removal.
it is also what one adolescent says to another.

So you think people with alcohol abuse problems are lame? To me, ripping on people who are different than you to make yourself feel better is not only lame but the definition of a bully. Sure, that's my opinion. But I'm guessing a lot of people would agree with me.

At the end of the conversation, it's usually not someone's differing opinion but the way they deliver it. By punching people in the face with it, you kind of show your true self. I don't dislike you necessarily. But you really come off as a douche some days.

So..... anyone see that 2 Congressmen are introducing a bill to get give tax incentives on E-Bikes?

New Legislation Would Offer Tax Incentives for Buying an E-Bike

The E-BIKE Act would provide financial incentives for consumers to purchase an e-bike, with the intent of reducing emissions.

From the sound of it this is a completely different perspective on e-bikes, looking at them as an alternative to car commuting rather than to human powered bikes use...can't wait to ride my $6500 e-bike to work under a pouring rain, all 33 miles of it, each way.

I'll have one when I'm disabled physically for sure...I'll always ride...

A friend of mine was reading the instruction manual for a flat iron she just got and is puzzled as to why it warns people not to use it while sleeping. I used GGG as an example why.

Personally I like GGG over GGH.

I forgot ...what was this thread about?

Well, if I offended anyone struggling with addiction, I sincerely apologize. I’ve unfortunately had many friends who’ve struggled with addiction and some overcame it, a few aren’t with me anymore. I have 2 people in my life right now who were both on deaths door because their livers shut down, a combination of 2L of vodka a day and percocets. One was being read last rights but managed to claw back. Being brutally honest, a few in the sober shredder thread may need to dial the drinking back a bit, but a lot are “me too”, going with the flow, being part of the group, fitting in, whatever. Having a drink or 2 a day isn’t a drinking problem, its being human. I know, it’s all relative, but people in the 12-step program aren’t there for 2 beers a day. Having said all that, if 2 beers is all it takes to make you an asshole, then stop drinking. You also may have some other issues.

As for non-alcoholic beer, I stand by what I said. And decaf coffee also. To elaborate, beer, whisky, etc. is one of those things where the whole is greater than the sum off the parts, it’s a fragile balance. Remove one part, and the experience is lost. If you want to be sober, then own the shit out of it, forget about “fitting in” and drink something that you actually enjoy and tastes good.
