  • “some brands of bikes” make frames out of carbon fiber with wireless derailleurs and have rear facing radar to detect when other bikes or vehicles are approaching, how fast, and on which side.

    When your exercise, your recreation, your hobby, and your transportation are all the same thing, it’s easy to justify spending more to make those things as easy and pleasant as possible.

    You can get a perfectly usable bike for very little money in America… Probably still made in China though 😂






  • It’s a memorial urn. My mother bought a few for family that wanted something to remember her by, but her ashes aren’t in it. They’ve been scattered.

    So it’s really just sentimental clutter.

    Some people are really attached to physical representations of things. They want a grave site to visit, or an urn to have. It’s probably just a mental thing, but it seems to be really common.









  • I think you’re missing the point, at least as far as I understand it.

    Child predators experienced some kind of trauma, and as a result they never developed. That could be external trauma (abuse) or internal trauma (thoughts, mental illness) but as their body “grew up” and they began developing sexual urges, they never matured.

    Think about your first crush. They were your age, probably, unless you had a crush on Jennifer Connelly like every other millennial boy. As you grew up your crushes were probably always within a few years of you. It’s just how it works.

    In “minor attracted people” (I hate that term, but it works for criminals AND non-criminals so it’s valid) the attraction just doesn’t get updated.

    Humans are REALLY BAD at controlling our impulses. Especially impulses that are taboo. Especially biological impulses (eating, sex, learning, games, etc).

    So these people go into fields where they can be around kids. And then an “opportunity” arises and they either can’t fight their criminal impulse or they rationalize their criminal behavior.

    And boom. Traumatized kids and teachers in jail.

    We need to get more people therapy.
