Bicycling requires strength and endurance.
So does cleaning a house, but that's "women's work".
Is it that you're in control of a heavier and more powerful machine?
That's it. You didn't get it at first because made the mistake of associating manliness with things like patience, strength, hard work, endurance both of toil and hardship; all things that do make up ideals of manliness to normal people. But you need to approach it from the perspective of a wastrel, a weak, foolish, and lazy person who demands the respect and deference of being manly without putting in the hard work—something he has avoided all his life. He might praise hard work in abstract, but he has no discipline for it and doesn't respect those who actually do it, he just considers them beneath him. To such a person, the defining aspect of manliness and machismo is mastery, mastery over others and their wills, and since mastery through work is a waste of time to him, he turns to shortcuts.
From there, it's not hard to see where the thought process goes. Since strength is to him based on control and mastery, he picks something that gives him more command over the road in a direct and in-your-face way. The man who drives a lifted Ram 2500 can confront you by running you the fuck over. By contrast, in his opinion, cyclists are entitled jackasses in miniscule booty shorts who can only confront you on the road by screaming "CRITICAL MASS! FUCKING CAGER!" and throwing sparkplugs at your windows. The difference in power dynamic is proof enough to our friend of who the "real man" is.
To take the mentality to its conclusion, the easiest way to gain mastery in general is through authority, and the easiest way to get that, even easier than joining a gang, is by becoming a cop.
Not to be confused with 2011's Silent Night, a reboot of the beloved classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. If you haven't seen the original, just watch Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 instead, because it pads the runtime with a 30-minute cut of the first movie in flashbacks. Sadly, I don't think this movie will have a scene where dudeman shoots a guy for taking out the trash, so I predict it will be a 1/10 at best. Thank you for reading my preview, I am taking no questions.
I remember when I was 14 and I had everything figured out
Given the number of times I've seen cops on police forums and r/protectandserve use terms like "bikefags", I think it's just the typical cop disgust of anything they perceive to be weak or effeminate.
What does the validity of polls have to do with staking the future of democracy? If you can't speak without histrionics, close your mouth.
Yeah, among polls of weird freaks who actually answer polls. Plus, do you even know how these are conducted? People under 60 don't answer calls from unknown numbers, nor do they have the landline phones that pollers call. Traditional media paradigms are dead and polls are now meaningless, it's time to adapt or die now.
Don't talk shit about Mariah 😤
Cost of doing business. Publishers who can't afford to literally just forget about the cost of running servers have no need to be in business.
