I propose we all start carrying water guns filled with urine.
These will be used exclusively for motorcyclists who insist on reving their engines.
It's like training a dog. If they get sprayed in the face with urine enough, they'll stop making noise and start acting like normal human beings
I have a backpack with holes in the mesh water bottle pockets. It works fine otherwise, I figured you all would have the best idea of how to fix this.
I'd prefer not to have to rip the seams. Any ideas?

I'll start out by saying that I fundamentally support all minority rights. Whether I agree with you or disagree with you, I fundamentally think you should be able to exist in society and practice whatever ideology you want to pursue, no matter how pleasant or distasteful I find it.
That said, I don't want to be represented in government by people who don't fundamentally agree with my ideology. If you belong to an organization which at its core fundamentally opposes things like LGBTQIA rights, women's rights or even my right to use drugs or eat certain foods.
Then I'm going to be skeptical of your pronouncements for supporting groups that participate in activities which are expressly prohibited by your organization/religion.
This is obvious when you look at figures on the right at this moment. Karoline Leavitt's giant crucifix is a very loud dog whistle to Christian Nationalists. We know what that means, we know how she feels about trans people or abortion.
I give all this lead up because I want to make it clear that I don't oppose religious people's right to exist, but as someone who was indoctrinated into religion as a child against my will, I'm very skeptical of Abrahamic religions.
Which brings me to my point. Why are people on the left currently embracing Islamic politicians? We've been burned many times now by Democrats like Fetterman. Why should we trust that someone like El-Sayed, who belongs to a corrosively conservative organization would actually support LGBTQIA rights, abortion, drug legalization?
If he did, why wouldn't he leave an organization who's sacred texts fundamentally oppose these ideas? I'd say the same about Christian or Jewish politicians. However, I realize many times you have to play the religious game to get elected in the US. I don't actually think Obama is religious for instance. But that's not happening when you're Muslim, it's not going to help you get elected, so I have to think that you actually believe in the religion and it's tenets.
Thus, how could you support the rights of individuals considered heretics by your organization? Isn't there a fundamental disconnect?
I got lambasted on another sub for saying that Michael Jackson was considered lame by kids by the early 90s. The way I remember it though was that by my 6th grade year in 92-93, Michael Jackson was considered the kind of music your parents would listen to.
By that point, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre...were cool, but MJ was out, even if he was still selling massive amounts of albums.
This was even before the abuse allegations.
Is this how you guys remember it?
My kids' friends are all into MJ now but generally don't know the bands I listed above and it's just odd to me.
O que se passa em todos esses bares estranhos perto do porto? Aqueles que têm fotos de mulheres em lingerie na fachada.
Serão clubes de strip? Bordéis? Outra coisa qualquer?
Eu entrava para ver, mas tenho medo que me roubem os rins.
I'm hearing there's huge delays in even getting an appointment. I'm eligible to apply at the end of the month.
Has anyone been successful in getting an appointment since the citizenship debacle?
It feels like once a month or so I show up at my gym at 7 am and it's closed. Which, ok, every country has its own holidays.
But then, the gym is open on Christmas morning, which I figure would be the high holy holiday in a Catholic country.
None of it makes sense.
I get that there's times where the expensive thing is better. But as someone who has worked as an airline pilot and traveled extensively for 45 years, I can assure you that expensive stuff is rarely necessary.
I get tons of use out of AliExpress stuff. Things like chargers, cables and accessories. Decathlon or Costco are more than good enough for clothing. I generally use a max legal sized RyanAir bag I got for €25 off of Amazon for vacation. At most, the lower mid tier option is more than enough.
It seems like this is just another sub for people with spending issues as everyone downvotes me when I call out how unnecessary the expensive options are.
