I think it's one of those woke enviro LGBTQ things. Now even the cycles have to be bi and no more motors!
the GOVERNMENT wants me to use my LEGS to MOVE
Fuck that, I'm not BI-pedal
chops leg off
/s obviously...
It’s trans portation.
God that's good
Have an upvote your sob
Idk I see plenty of liquor-cycles in my neck of the woods.
DUI-cycle?
You mean a Dodge Ram?
You mean that very loud thing that causes ear damage when it passes by?
Yeah, a redneck truck.
That's just called a truck?
Hmmm, is that why so many Americans have hearing loss? 😮
Seriously, vehicles and machines are definitely a big part of why I do have hearing loss
On a serious note, it blows my mind how negligent almost everyone is to their hearing. Absolutely insane to allow permanent destruction of your hearing when extremely simple and cheap protection is available.
Even people who use PPE needed for specific tasks often neglect hearing protection.
I killed my hearing with a very expensive set of headphones.
I neglected my hearing as a child and have had tinnitus since I was about 12, ever since then I've done everything in my power to prevent it from getting worse.
I wish hearing protection was more talked about, to prevent more people from learning the hard way to protect their ears .
Just wait until the Cybertruck powered only by elon's cameras hits the streets and the sidewalks and anything that gets in it's way
The flat stainless steel makes is easy to clean the guts off
What's with the random irrelevant picture?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeonmi_Park
Yeonmi Park is a North Korean defector, YouTuber, author, and American conservative activist, described as being "one of the most famous North Korean defectors in the world".
38 North, a website dedicated to news on North Korea, has noted that some critics, including other North Korean refugees, have accused Park of embellishing her accounts or appropriating elements from others' escape stories.
In early 2023, screenshots of Park's 2021 interview with Joe Rogan became the center of memes accusing her of embellishing her stories.
I'm sure Rogan never embellished his stories.
Ah so she's a right wing grifter
embellishing her accounts or appropriating elements from others’ escape stories
I grew up in Miami with the Cuban community. Those people use to embellish and outright lie about their experiences in Cuba. People would tell me things like that the government would shoot you because they didn't like you. Once I went to Cuba myself, I stopped believing anything those people in Miami said. They were straight full of crap.
One dude in particular would claim he was such a victim of the Cuban government. They wanted to lock him up for whatever BS reasons I can't remember, but something political like upsetting a government official or something. He was somehow an extended family member, and I was at his house for a BBQ. The dude got drunk, and I happened to mention something neutral about Ernesto "The Che" Guevara, and this dude flies off of the handle with some uncomfortable, 30+ mins rant that ruined the night. I left because the night was ruined. While I was leaving, someone I was much closer to in my family later told me on the way to our cars that he had to leave Cuba because he was wanted for rape.
Cuba definitely has its problems and certain restrictions that aren't common in the rest of Western liberal democracies. Their economy sucks in comparison to a lot of other countries. However, they are under one of the hardest embargoes in the world. Everyone also has free education and healthcare. These are so good, that their health education system is the educator of choice in all of Latin America, and Cuba sends battalions of doctors and other medical providers around the world. I have used their healthcare system multiple times, and it was seriously impressive. It's not the hellhole these people say it is.
Edit: I wouldn't have chosen to have been born there, but I also wouldn't have chosen to have been born in the USA. It seems to me that the best places to have been born are in Western Europe.
You are however allowed to challenge the F150 to a gun fight
Who is Ford F-150?
The 150th iteration of the android that houses Henry Ford's head.
Wouldn't that be a cyborg not an android?
Or is the head just decorative? All salted and shriveled like a slim Jim?
Go to your nearest Ford dealership, sign the papers and find out.
Does he give me the papers?
No thats john ford, ford f-150s son
F-150 isn’t the family name?
My NDA prevents me from elaborating further
What is NDA? No Dancing Agreement? Is F-150 like a dance group name?
The Arch-Magus of the Extreme Court.
It's Ford's standard full-size pickup truck.
That’s impossible.
I used to ride my road bike on actual road here in Florida. The only reason I think I didn't get hit, although definitely some close calls, is because I'm an offensive lineman so if they were to hit me it would cause a lot more damage to their vehicle than a normal bicyclist and didnt want to damage their trucks too much.
Considering the number of bicyclists I know who've been clipped by trucks
