I said I don't see anything outwardly racist. While you said 'the amount of racism in this thread' like it was full of slurs. You were just dog whistling. Pathetic and not helpful to anyone

20 comments in this thread and I don't see anything outwardly racist. Sure you don't sit on any threads about race and just call comments racist as a bit of a first reaction?

I think you missed the subtext, as cynical as it may seem. They weren't so worried about people killing themselves as much as people claiming life insurance

I think the notion is suicide is planned. Which it can be. But I'm sure there's a lot of opportunitistic ones where they get a text at the wrong time at the wrong place and just say 'fuck it' and jump

Great book. I can't believe how tough men could be. There's a part where they ride coils of rope down an ice mountain and it's so inspiring.

Are you some kind of idiot Hulk who can't pick up a flower without crushing it in your grip? Wouldn't the more dexterity be useful?

I'm a decently well seasoned cyclist but no, you do not smash the front brake, you will go flying. It stops you faster but you don't want it to lock up. Your stat is more relevant to motorbikes, not bicycles

It's slightly less relevant though. You'll have to try pretty hard to go over the handlebars using the front brake on a motorbike, like lean into it.

No. Just rational thought. Literally 20 comments and you're making out it's a kkk meetup.
