My daughters childcare center has an app, through the day they send heaps of photos and videos of what the kids are up to (sort of like toddler facebook) Sydney is a multicultural melting pot now, and as such the kindy is no different. This childcare center also caters for special needs/disabled children. Every day, every photo, all these kids are integrating, inclusive and non judgemental. All kids no matter what race or disability play together in harmony and respect. It blows my mind that 18 month olds sometimes have it together more than anyone else in this world. It...

If you watched the video, you know that what happened to George Floyd was horrifying and wrong. Eliot is one more person in a round chorus of black voices who've expressed that what happened to George Floyd wasn't unusual or surprising, but is a normal and tragic part of black life in America. If I'm hearing their message correctly, that sucks. Apparently things aren't alright here and the way we do policing doesn't work and needs to change. And if you had any doubts, go watch some videos of the riot police in city after city shooting peaceful protesters with...

6/4/2020 11:14am Honestly,I think social media,as much as I have disdain for it,is and will be the thing that forces change. You cant hide anymore(as easily). I think authority is going to have to change. And its only going to become more prevalent. Its a double edged sword that i think allows the degradation of societies,too,but here we are. I get the...

6/4/2020 8:33am We CAN get somewhere. We dont have to get everywhere all at once. How do you eat an elephant??.. Uniform, national policing standards that eliminate some of these very dangerous holds. Bust up the unions that keep these cops from ever being charged and investigated. Thats where alot of these cases get shut down. Stop self policing, where one police...

6/4/2020 4:38am Just because Angela Davis said something, dosent make it true. You probably shouldnt judge my intentions once ive already clearly stated them by some mythical purity standard. That would suggest that YOU arent really that serious about "inclusion " or "diversity". ..A very "SJW" practice. I never seperated any realms. I said pick something concrete in THIS realm and make...

6/3/2020 5:15pm I dont know if its so much a racial thing as an economic one. But that being said, out of the 4 people i ever ride with,2 of them are hispanic. Sometimes I forget and then we make racial jokes at eachother and then everything is alright.

6/3/2020 3:02pm agreed on all points. Its kind of a weird feeling wanting to be of support,but not wanting to be one of those annoying ,white SJW's who IMHO are more racist than alot of people ,because they dont think black people can accomplish anything without a white savior to scream on their behalf.

What I've learned, and am working on, is that being part of the solution means listening to things that are sometimes hard. Eliot's words about why "I don't see color" and "all lives matter" invalidate his experiences are a good starting point. There are no perfect words, but for those of us who come from a place of privilege (and by definition having the time and means to ride bikes and post on forums, we do) this is an opportunity for us to listen, learn and hopefully change our behaviour. It's gonna be uncomfortable, learning new stuff usually is, but...

6/3/2020 2:53pm i have no problem to hard things. Isay hard things. Hard things are where the solutions are. Where they arent is posting black squares, flags etc. and pretending we just did anything of substance. Generally, Im a conservative\ libertarian on most things ,but i find myself disagreeing with my normal political allies on this topic. Im sick of it,Im sick...

6/3/2020 1:00pm Id love to be a part of a movement that i knew would and i dont give a shit about empty displays of solidarity. National policing reform? Great, lets do that! Town halls for all colors to discuss real reform? Yeah, awesome! Not dismissing different negative experiences of minority populations at all, but when you chide well meaning people who...

Its been perfect for me. Ive torn the ligaments and dislocated my thumb and can barely shift on a cold morning with a regular shifter. I dont understand why its so hard to figure it out, especially when you can switch it to your preference

Additional weakness: when your $800 derailleur takes a shit and just STOPS WORKING and not only cant you get it fixed because you bought it as a take-off, but SRAM WONT EVEN LOOK AT IT. Yes, an electronic derailleur that one day, decides to just stop...Sram will not fix it, even if you offer to pay for it

I ride these same trails 1-2 times a week. These tires are the minimum tires for out here. Exos get shredded out here, constantly. Exo+ is the bare minimum. Exo+ cushcore is actually the best option
