  • How to deal with antivaxxers

    The problem is partially that many people are as thick as a post, but we knew that before the pandemic. IMHO, the core problem is that society has created a scenario in which the general public have lost trust in the authorities. I think we should focus on fixing the underlying issue of many political decisions (including those pre-COVID) being made based on political whims rather than what is best for society. Stopping anti-vax propaganda may help the immediate problem, but it’s just a bandaid on a gaping wound. – Ryan Hellyer

  • HMX-500

    I think this was my fourth bike after a piece of crap plastic thing, a trike, a stupid bike with trainer wheels on it and then this mighty beast of a machine, the HMX-500. I loved this bike. I got into lots of trouble for not cleaning it, but I was a kid, so why the heck would I clean a bike? I didn’t care what it looked like. I just wanted to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. I never cleaned my cars either 😛 After I upgraded, mine was sold to some kid who had their bike stolen.

    Picture is stolen from somewhere on the internet. I don’t have any pictures of mine unfortunately.

  • Reichstag

    The boat the Smolenski side of my family traveled to New Zealand on, was called the Reichstag. It left Rostock in Germany in the late 1800’s.

  • Burger in the park

    Part of me is pissed off that I have to eat this burger in the park with snow falling down around me. Part of me is enjoying that I was the only one willing to sit in the park eating my burger with snow falling down around me.
