    And here's you.

    That's the chain of conversation.
    You don't get to ret-con that shit.

    meanwhile, a guy I know was recently a victim of a subway incident. (wonder if there's a correlation to the cutting of mental health services in the city that absorbs 3/4 of the province's unhoused?) guess how he got home from the hospital?

    Maybe being spit on by strangers doesn't give YOU the creeps, but not everyone is into the same kinks.

    You sympathize with the derelicts. You were probably on a first name basis with them. Lover's quarrel?

    What happened to the "broke dick Jeep"?
    Is that no longer canon?

    If you paid attention to anything but the smell of your own ass vapor, you'd know I've been doing most things on a bike for years.

    As for the jeep, I sold it on January first.

    Well, if that's the only alternative to "too scared to leave the house..."

    It isn't, but it's telling you think "cycles to work in the dark" is badass.

    I think it refutes "too scared to leave the house," you tedious cockwart. I didn't bring it up unprovoked.

    Which was not an argument I made, you ignorant slut. That was Anc. Mine was that you don't have the balls to go full viligante, despite your piss poor Punisher performance.

    I'm just laughing that your metric for courage is hopping on a form of transport widely decried as socialist by your political brethren whilst it's a bit tricky to see.

    I mean, you might have well have said "Nuh-huh! I do too leave the house, when I put the bins out!!".

    And who was I responding to when you quoted it, you complete fucking knob?

    I'm honoring my agreement with polite society as long as it holds up.

    Nobody said it was. I hope you're not banking on a career in fiction.

    I have no "political bretheren," and I've never heard anyone say bikes are socialist. Now if someone argued some nonsense like "bikes are a human right and society should provide them," you might be glimpsing a point, but it would still have fuckall to do with me.

    Does that happen a lot, Mr. Magoo?

    If the bins were a few miles up a pitch dark bike path, maybe.

    Wow. You ride your bike down the street. What a brave eight year old you are.

    For those with more than two brain cells to rub together in a discussion about how you were proud about how you never left your comfort zone, never visited anywhere, and have no actual understanding of the world around you ‘leaving your house’ wasn’t literal smoothie.

    It is always the other guy with obvious unhinged people like UA. Maybe UA knows how to behave off the internet as many keyboard crazies do. There are a lot of whypipo who know when to keep their fucking traps shut and not to go full on Karen. There is a reality that there are a largwe number of whypipo in this country who should be in a supervised care facility because they have a history of incidents anjd are in danger of shooting someone for turning around in their driveway. At the very least we should be keeping them away from guns.

    UA is very close to that line of being involuntarily committed and supervised by medical professionals for being a potential danger to himself and the community. UA is far beyond the insane of most homeless people.

    Never said that. But it is out of the house.

    False. :strawman:

    :strawman:

    Do people really buy horse shit like this from you in real life? You know it only counts if the two brain cells come from the same person, right?

    Also false. I've been lots of places all over the continent.

    Meaning I don't share your pissy little self-righteous opinions.

    :rolleyes:

    Whatever you're rubbing, it isn't brain cells.

    You can tell UA's backed into a corner when the genital references, and the homophobic and gendered slurs slip in.
    When he starts mentioning cum and poo-poo, that's his white flag.

    The only people who ride their bike to work in Omaha are the hipsters and those who lost their license to to DWI. I wonder which one UA is.

    Riight. Factually correct = backed into a corner.

    Might as well say YOU'RE defeated when you resort to paint-by-numbers fiction, but what would that leave?

    Admit it, it was going to be "you're a poo-poo head with cum sauce" until I said something and ruined it.

    "Conservatives going on and on about how horrible it is in cities they don't live in and never visit" is getting to be such a popular fiction genre that it should have its own Dewey Decimal code.

    He sold his jeep and is riding his bike to work?

    There are 2 reasons you get rid of the pride of your life, your surrogate dick, and start riding a bike to work. Either you missed payments and the repo man took your surrogate dick away, or you lost your license to a DWI.

    I laugh every day on the road when I see some UA type tough guy riding a vespa or their bike here in florida. Vespas and scooters are legal to ride when you lost your license because their motors are not big enough to need registration or a license to ride. Those who cannot afford a scooter have to ride a bike.

    It is one thing if you are a kid, but we know why UA gave up his ride. It certainly wasn't because of fitness.

    There are two types of adults who ride their bike to work. One are guys who like biking and are fitness enthusiasts. Does that sound like UA? The other type are those who had their vehicle taken from them. One reason is they were too poor to afford it, and the other is they lost their license do to DWI or some sort of reckless driving.

    In the space of the last month I’ve visited New York and Seattle. I had no problems with anyone in either place. Yes, there were homeless. No they didn’t bother me. Anecdotal? Sure. But at least I have some actual experience. :clyde:
