What makes you think I wasn't verbally critical of him? I was telling ppl that were praising him that he seemed to virtue signal and seemed shady back in 2017. I was told I was looking too much into it. But in retrospect...

I disagree. One of the largest groups to swing right were young men, and if you listened to many of their criticisms, they thought Tim was pandering to them which made them think he was disingenuous. If he tries to flip it in the next campaign, he'll seem even less authentic. If he doesn't, we're at status quo. I don't see that being different for any dem candidate, regardless of gender, without a change in approach.

I'm not saying their criticisms are right or wrong, but they are voters. Whether we like it or not, we need to listen to them b/c of that fact.

Even if the candidate was a woman, a genuine attempt to engage with them and find common ground would likely have a better chance at swinging enough of them than if we stick to Tim. However, knowing how people respond to being slighted and pandered to, I'm unsure there's much of a chance to reach them anymore. But it would still be a better chance if we engaged with them rather than ignoring them.

Wait, are you joking or is that real?

Oh, so we're cool with losing again? He's not going to swing any demographic group - it's gonna be the same result.

I've been using the KSADBOSSBO (KSAD) rectangular one with 1080p and rotatable camera. Has worked well. Audio and video is solid, and the IR feature is great for night time.

What's an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn't control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

Thanks for all the responses! It is a lame feeling as I do see it from others side (those that aren't being potentially violent assholes), but the cost of any one person having serious intent is too high now, especially since i've never had anyone say anything against the asshole's behavior.

With that said, having a camera has taken the edge off for me so I don't feel as confrontational, and I can just post them on the neighborhood app after walking away. But on the flip side, I now live in middle america...

Yea, I'm not super young but definitely not old, but this makes probably the 15th or 16th time I've dealt with such incidences. If people were more likely to be vocal about it and reprimand their behavior publicly, I'd feel safer. But no one ever has. And many of those incidences have involved stated death threats. This doesn't include aggressions when I'm in a group of peers either. Of course when I'm with them, they all have my back. But alone? Nah.

I wish i could say this was all just my time in the bible belt, but this has happened in large, blue cities where I'd hoped I'd have more community support. This last incident was one of those cities.

til what a monkey fist is

And thanks, i've dealt with this my entire life watching others just walk by and say nothing. So, at this point, it's just getting tiresome.

 

A few weeks ago i was walking my dog around 11pm, and a driver jokingly did a brake torque as we were crossing the street. He was maybe 3 feet away from us.

After yelling at each other, he threatened to kill me and my dog the next time he saw us. As I pulled my camera he peeled out and hurled a racial comment my way. Sadly, there was so much movement i couldnt get the plate, and i didnt get anything that happened before that on camera.

So I got a body cam to wear for all my walks. Unfortunately, this is not the only time people have been racist and threatened my life so I’m just tired of it and hoping it might encourage people to behave. Feels lame, but it does provide some comfort. Does anyone else do the same?

 

I moved to a really cold and dry climate which has made my cheeks light up like a christmas tree. I've always lived in humid cities so this isn't something I've had to think about.

Anyone have suggestions on reasonably priced moisturizers that could help out? I checked out Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but at $60+, I'd like to check if any comparable alternatives exist at a lower cost.

Bike price review (self.bicycling)
submitted 6 months ago by houstoneulers to c/bicycling
 

I found a Specialized Allez Sport (2014) that a bike shop is pricing at $425. It has rim brakes and downtube shifters.

Is this a decent deal?
