Somehow, cycling with both hands up is possible. You won't fall down, if you really good at balancing your body.
|
I used to be able to do that, but since I haven't biked in a while I can't now lol
|
Hey i have an extra mountain bike you can have it!
|
I still have a bicycle somewhere. I think. I vaguely remember bringing it with me when I moved, but it's been rotting away in a garage somewhere.
I wonder if it still works. Assuming no one's gotten rid of it already somehow, that is. Quote:

I was a scooter person when I was a kid. Loved that thing.
|
I had the Razr scooter when that was the big thing back in the late 90's-early 2000's. I also remember trying to do all the stupid tricks you could do with it with my brothers and falling miserably, haha.
|
I used a scooter once and injured myself, so I never went back lol
|
Same thing here.

|
I dug up my old scooter the other day when I was helping my parents clean out the attic. I injured myself on that thing more times than I can count.
...i totally still tried to ride it. |
I found roller blades at my parents' house a while back and tried to use them.
Looked like an idiot. |
I used to love rollerblading but lol if I tried that now.
|
Last time i tried rollerblading, i broke my left leg. I fell downstairs lol.
|
Last time I went rollerskating I accidentally shut my middle finger in the front door when I tripped and nearly took it off...but I did get out of sports day that year. xD
|
I think I liked ice-skating more... but I haven't been any kind of skating in many years now...
|
Today is 4:20 day.
And the clock says 20:04 at the time I type this post. (meanwhile changed to 20:05 ugh) #BLAZEIT |

I always wanted a Razr but I wound up getting boring phones since we had a family plan and my parents just always ordered the same phone for all three of us. :(
At least I actually had a phone though, so I can't complain. |

|
i got my first phone in fourth grade, i felt like the coolest fourth grader alive.
|
Can't remember when I got it (probably fourth or fifth grade), but I do know that my first phone was the legendary Nokia 3310.
|
I haven't gotten one because I just don't need it. I borrow my step father's if I'm going out.
|
Quote:
But then I made the mistake of getting an iPhone when they first came out which I almost immediately jailbroke. |
I got my first phone when I was 12 I think? It was a fat prepaid phone that never got service but I thought it was cool at the time so 8D I've probably gone though a dozen or so phones now and my current one is probably my favorite.
|
Nokia is my poopie's phone.
Used for 14 years, then me use it. Now, I give to the needed family. " Use it in case of emergency", I said. |
I got my first phone when I was in high school, a clunky Sprint one. I then got the Razr in college, one I lost woops. It wasn't until after I graduated college I got myself an Android and then iPhone a few years later.
|
I think my first phone was a Nokia. It was the same size as our current house phones - almost too big to fit into my pocket. I miss the bricks...almost.
|
Planned my whole morning around using my $5 Amazon gift card from Bing Rewards... only to see it be temp unavailable.
|
My first phone was that legendary Nokia, chunk of a phone and I never put it on charge.
All I cared that it had snake, and still care about that today |
RIP Prince. :(

Too soon. |
Wait what.
D: Well that's another downer to wake up to. |

Just read about Prince. Sad, and I will recognize that he had his influence in music, but I'm not going to pretend I was a fan. |
This year has not been kind to us with all these music legends leaving us. We had David Bowie, Phife Dawg, Merle Haggard... and now Prince.
|
Well, Alan Rickman did die earlier this year too, you saying that...
It's the passing of an age. |
If the queen dies it really will be, but she'll probably outlive us all.
|
The Queen seems as if she has an endless supply of Duracell attached to and powering her.
|
True story.
|
They should really be using Energizer.
|
Like the bunnies in the advert?
Honestly I half-expected the Queen to die yesterday or the day before, just to throw a spanner in the works for her 90th celebration...although I bet the BBC have a program ready to go already for that eventuality. |
the queen is 90? :O
|
I didn't know either I thought she was like 88?
She certainly has longevity. |
Yes, that queen surely has the power of longevity.
|
Considering how badly 2016 is going I'm worried for the Queen this year too. :[
|
WELP my mother might divorce my step father ...

|
It'd be weird because we can't really imagine another monarch besides her.

Quote:
|
Same here, she started in like the 50's so....
|
I think her husband will go before she does...I'm surprised he hasn't gone already, since he's been in and out of hospital quite a bit since the Diamond Jubilee.
|
her mum lived to 101 and lizzie would have the best doctors on the planet at beck and call
she ain't going nowhere anytime soon |
The queen's husband is still alive? I always assumed he died like 40 years or something.

Not sure how are the Republican sentiments in the UK, or the monarchy's popularity in the latest times.
|
The monarchy will definitely survive past Elizabeth. I hope to god that Charles won't be our next King, though.
|
It makes no real difference who the monarch is. They bring in tourism. That's pretty much all they're for anymore.
|
President Corbyn.
Apparently the Royal Family has a "worst case scenario" and it involves Brexit wining, the Tories blowing up in internal fights and Comrade Corbyn (who still hasn't talked to the Queen) leading a Republican revolution in snap elections. Whatever the case, a King Charles will be fun to see. Expecting Australia to respectfully declare itself a republic as soon as it happens. |
At the rate the Queen is going, Charles will be dead before he gets the throne. He's 67 as is, so he'll be the oldest heir if he does. It'd be better if he was just skipped over and his son ascended to the throne instead.
|
I must admit that I know next to nothing on UK political personalities or their political leanings.
Except for a few of David Cameron's Thug Life moments in the House of Commons. |
This is pretty much all you need to know about David Cameron. I'm not even kidding.
I have to wonder which way we'll go with the EU referendum this year. I would say we'll probably go the same way as Scotland - after all that fuss they stayed in the UK anyway - but...eh, who knows. I'm not making my mind up about my vote until I get some information that isn't blatant scare-mongering or baseless predictions about the economy. |
So basically I would hate it if he was the guy in charge of my country.

And a former party leader started rumours that he once put his genitals on a dead pig's face as some sort of university initiation game. Quote:
As an European federalist myself, I'd ask everybody to vote "remain", not least because the Commons study group made for that purpose some years ago ruled that the balance of powers between the EU and the UK parliament was fine enough. But also because anything that is supported by UKIP, The Sun, The Daily Mail, the Daily Express and Boris Johnson must, by necessity, be bad or wrong. |

And ugh. What the everliving hellfuck. |
i imagine the monarchy as we know it will survive to at least william/kate
they're basically the ultimate pr campaign |
Quote:
All I really care about is that we stay out of the euro, and since that isn't being called into question...well, I don't see any huge need to leave. But then, I don't have all the information I'd like on it yet. On that cheery note, Happy St. George's Day, people! |
I'm not sure who has the worst political state at the moment anymore: the US, the UK or us Aussies
I mean the US Republicians are deliciously terrible but at least their main man's plans probably won't ever be put into action because I'm pretty sure even Congress right now wouldn't waste billions of dollars on some terrible wall meanwhile Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer has some horrific ideas and beliefs that actually aren't that far-fetched right now (pro-life unless it's life-threatening if the pregnancy continues, planning to go back to the foreign affairs policy that led to the rise of ISIS and a terribly pointless war, a flat tax, anti-gay marriage, doesn't believe in climate change, plans to increase the retirement age, using oil and gas instead of nuclear power, and so forth) |

The problem is Turnballsack isn't much better
god, I wish we had the labor party back in right now, I'll take Julia Gillard over these idiots any day |
I feel like whatever outcome we get at the next election we'll have a dull government either way. Plus my brother recently turned 18 so I'm worried about him getting a hefty fine for not voting.
|
You get a fine if you don't vote in Australia?
Over here in the United States, I still have yet to vote since turning 18. I don't feel informed enough... or perhaps I'm simply complacent and more concerned with other things. As long as Trump and Cruz don't win it should be okay, I think... |

woah back the fuck up.
in Australia it's illegal to not vote?? that's insane and so demeaning to the people who actually go out of their way to care about and contribute to their country's politics. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to be at least somewhat in the know about how your country's run and to have your say but if you truly know nothing or don't care, you should not vote. I know people who voted Conservative in the uk's last general election because "I don't really get politics but I guess I should vote and blue is a nice colour" and, if every vote really counts, it's now their ignorance that we're all paying for. plus, it's important to know who didn't vote so politicians know which areas need to be engaged more in the next election. forcing people to vote just results in loads of people who don't care contributing to something they don't understand for fear of prosecution if they don't. That's such a forced and artificial way of deciding a country's leadership and the actual outcome is not going to be representative of what people who care about politics want. |
Part of the Australian government's message is that everyone deserves to have a say on who runs the country, so they literally enforce anyone who's a resident over 18 that they all must leave their say.
|
I would fill in the ballot "I'm Only Voting So I Don't Get Fined".

Also I caught a shiny AT LAST. http://i.imgur.com/QP2lUD1.png |
Quote:
I guess the worst combination is someone who votes with no information in a country that doesn't force you to be engaged to begin with. That's when you get idiotic decisions. Interestingly, chances are we'll get a new election in June after no candidate managed to pass a motion of confidence in a deeply divided Parliament coming from December. I wonder how that will turn out. Quote:

I voted Liberal in the last Canadian election and the Liberal guy won, it felt good for me.
|
I'm just glad I can live my life without being a politician myself tbh.
|
Quote:
But if you don't vote, you don't vote... at all, full stop. There is no "dead vote" rule. If the people who do vote decide to kick your MP out and vote someone else in, then your vote isn't contributing to "the party in power", you simply are refusing to have a say, one way or another. |
Quote:
It can have a bit of a wobbly result though, as my friend wanted to vote for Britian First 2 years ago, I asked her why and it was because of their immigration policies, and nothing else-she quickly regretted it when I pointed out that one of education policies was to cut all funding to special needs schools (and her brother went to one) Those the people who don't vote don't get counted at all. They do an estimate on how many people haven't voted but they don't add it to anything |

On the other hand, the promised tax changes are in, government scientists can now speak freely about their work, the mandatory long-form census is back, and there is now a non-partisan, merit-based (so we are told) process for Senate appointments. Also, he's gotten a move on transferring federal infrastructure money to municipalities so I hope Toronto's public transit will finally gets updated. I don't think he's been particularly liberal, but then again Canadian politics doesn't seem so partisan to begin with. Also, Canada is in general just more liberal as a country, so Trudeau doesn't seem all that outstanding in that light. He also has a majority parliament, so that helps him pushing stuff through. I'm surprised we're talking about politics in the DCC :P |
Transport talk now? In my home city of Sydney, we have had a fair share of complaints but at the moment I guess our public transport services are getting more reliable, even if we now seem to rely on special cards more than tickets these days.
|
I'm so glad to have needed a car. I can go anywhere I need by just tube or bus. Same when I was in Buenos Aires. But then again, we have trains or buses every 4/7 minutes on average, and my monthly pass costs 20€, so...
I have a licence, but damn I'd struggle so bad to live in a place without a decent public transport system. |
I have to drive everywhere and honestly sometimes I just want to drive into a river because driving in traffic is a fate worse then death.

Transportation is obsolete here really. I drive pretty much everywhere that I need to go. I cannot remember the last time that I used public transportation to get anywhere :x
|
Did some super cleaning today. And also got a space ready for a possible Nintendo NX.
|
We only have buses here and it's $2.75 a ride and monthly passes are like $70 :x Not the most expensive though, in Toronto I think it's more expensive.
|
For me, the bus is 30p cheaper than the train, so I inevitably wind up catching one home if I'm in town...plus it's further to walk to the train station from the library I volunteer in from time-to-time. Although if I go into town by myself without hitching a lift, I'll catch the train because the train station is closer to my house than the bus stop. In the face of a 30p difference in prices, laziness governs all.
|
I hate public transport, trains are alright though I guess.
|
Trains in this country may as well not have a timetable for all that they stick to it...it seems every time I try and catch one home I'm kept waiting for anywhere from five minutes to forty minutes because of some mundane excuse. They do get you to where you want to go quicker than buses though if you can actually get on one of the bloody things at the time you're supposed to.
|
I took the bus to and from college. It was fairly convenient, even if the commute was a tad long from about 45 minutes to an hour. Being a passenger is nice because I could study, read, play a 3DS game or just take a nap. (My body always knew when it was time to get up!) Traveling by train long distances can be fun, and subways in metropolitan cities are usually fast and on the dot.
