what if instead of disappearing threads, we just replace all the text with boobies?

Ok. Since I own this thread, I want all the posts in the thread (except mine) show boobies instead of whatever drivel was written.

I'll accept my role in derailing the thread. Obviously, for anyone who actually knows me (admittedly, few anymore) should know I was absolutely kidding about rounding up all the racist/stereotypical jokes being directed towards @TimTheAzn and sending the examples to their respective employers. And yes, I know you think they were harmless and certainly didn't intend ill will probably. If you look in my post history, I've made plenty of naughty problematic jokes and have no actual problem with them for the most part. So that all being said, can someone explain why the thread was closed and disappeared? I won't make assumptions, I would like an explanation.

I think you know that you don't want to go down this income, wealth and affirmative action road in terms of the upper echelon of higher education because if you look past just this very short dead end you're going down, you know it looks very bad for this line of reasoning as soon as you zoom out and look at overall distribution of wealth along racial lines and college admissions in Ivy's especially Harvard. We can waste our time on this if you want. If we're speaking to guidance counselors and teachers as a whole, you are absolutely right. I doubt specialed as an individual is particularly overtly racist based on what I've seen of his comments, but I don't know him personally (at least, I don't think I do). But at the institutional level, data shows this mechanism of overly relying on narrative feedback from a predominantly white educational structure for specifically Harvard admissions (though I'd guess this failure extends to other similarly desirable schools) for Asian vs white students is racially discriminatory for asians. Do.you disagree?

Yeah a level playing field would be nice. https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2019/10/01/why-the-asian-american-students-lost-their-case-against-harvard-but-should-have-won/

honestly, it doesn't seem like a horror movie virus in the eyes of those of us that were hit the least hard like in not super densely populated Ohio that went into lock down early or those of you in nice dry heat states like Arizona so I get the sentiment. But I think any front line health care worker in places that were hit super hard like in parts of China, Korea, NYC, Italy, etc will probably tell you different. Personally, I can tell you that my in laws who live in Brooklyn live right across the street from a major hospital and they have seen the lined up body bags as they walk by. But i agree with you, sometimes it's hard to see how bad it is when you just don't see people around you dropping like flies. An honest earnest question here: what would it take for you to truly empathize with the people who could get it and likely die from it and truly believe why this is a real problem, beyond what's been parroted on MSM? more personal experiences, immediately family members getting it, friends or their family getting it? or information presented from a different source? Obviously, I'm not wishing any bad health on you and yours and I'm thinking if you had contracted it personally and suffered from it like What did, it would be easier to empathize but since you're younger, you're not very likely to feel severe symptoms even if you did get it. So outside of that, what do you think would change your mind about this?

Look man, you're a cool dude and we always get along. I'm not trying to condescend to you. But I'm asking an honest question to understand your view. Likewise, you should consider being intellectually honest and not hide behind something like "I never said I disagreed with masks" when you clearly did and do and probably will continue to do so after this conversation. I don't like mandating anything either. But from a conservative or libertarian perspective, I think I could make a stronger case for mandating masks vs not in a scenario like this in preserving personal freedom overall. I'm open to having this conversation and understanding where you're coming from. I'll be honest and open to ideas and perspective if you are willing.

I KNOWWWWWWWW

And did someone say they didn't want OP (solid snake) at the ride? What's that all about.

So in Arizona (and Florida and probably others) some of these states are in the process of peaking infection rates. It would make sense that they would want to blunt that progress as much as possible. Short of shutting down the state/cities, mandating masks (which is proven to reduce microdroplets transmission) seems reasonable. https://www.google.com/search?q=arizona+corona+cases&oq=arizona+corona+cases&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.16018j0j7&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Was that thread seriously closed? Why? Better not have been cause of me, I was just fucking around. I love you and Pauly. Long time.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html Can you share why wearing a mask is problematic when there are literally over a hundred thousand people dead in the US alone just from COVID? To be fair, many would likely have died from the flu flavor of the week , but even controlling for that like this study done in NYC (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e5.htm), that is a whole lotta dead people just from COVID. So why is it a great undertaking to wear a mask again?

i personally think it's going to crater soon, but that's ok, I'm going to live forever so i'm just gonna leave my shit in there and should be fine overall.

OMG so greedy eating the last cookie

DAAANG SON so how much was it? like 1500-2000? WHERE

Lake county boyyyeee

that vrod was actually not horrible except that the forward controls would drag if you tipped it over more than 5 degrees. a really neat bike otherwise. the diavel handles much better. i'm 80% sure i could drag knee on it if i wanted to and wasn't such a pussy. haha no, that was actually Matt (I forget his username here), he rode my shitty FZ1 while i rode his vrod and he quickly found out he had wasted his whole motorcycle life riding cruisers. and then of course, 10 years later, i bought a cruiser.

i did, except at least 2 rooms are 100% full of sealed boxes and various packaging materials. also, i managed to break a drain while replacing an old utility tub so now my laundry room is a complete disaster again. so i have that going for me.

the diavel is amazing and i'm definitely not a total ra-tard for getting one

You are absolutely right. We need to revive that like Pauly's taste in non-fugly ass bikes

We should start a thread where we ask for relationship advice in a "dear Abby/Pauly" style column and you can just shit on people. I could fap to that.

Haha what a silly goose

I dunno, just done shirt rides. Seems like it handles ok. Probably good for being a cruiser

I should be able to do a ride during a weekend as long as it doesn't take forever. Got heated gear and shit. Gixxus, you should get a diavel, it's the only cruiser like bike that is super comfy, light and fast as fuuuuuuck. Also cause I don't want to be the only moron who got suckered into buying a diavel

Used to live in Concord but still work in mentor. Welcome to the fun! If you see a Diavel with bags roaming around, you're welcome to give me the finger.
