"Bicycle Thief Sentenced." Kingston Daily Standard. July 17, 1912. Page 5. --- Three additional months were added by Judge McDonald today at Brockville to the sentence of one year and 260 days imposed yesterday on Frank Grey for the theft of bicycles. Grey was brought before Acting Magistrate Patterson charged with breaking jail and was committed for trial. Later he was brought before the judge and when asked why he made the attempt Grey replied that the open front door of the court house was such a temptation that he thought he would take the chance.

I’d be more sympathetic to people criticizing the lack of clarity or seriousness in anti civ critiques if those same people weren’t usually causing a huge part of the problem by calling anyone with any serious notion of degrowth a genocidal ecofascist primitivist boogeyman.

you have no idea how lucky you are for finding the laptop holy shit a few weeks ago my friend had his car stolen + everything inside of it which included his work macbook that was borrowed from his job + personal documents etc and ever since then when i leave my car i quadruple check if every single door is closed properly lmao

omg yeah i mean i talk a lot of shit about this place but one thing i'll say is people are overwhelmingly honest here, like i've yet to lose something of any value and not get it back. and i lose things all the time lmao. though one time a few years ago my mum's car got broken into and they tried to hotwire it but couldn't get it to work so instead they stole the 1996 car radio and one bottle of pepsi max from a four pack in the backseat

Being in a relationship with a sizable age gap is mostly not any different from any relationship.

(I am 44 and Daci is 29, and they started flirting with me when we were 39 and 24.)

But tonight I was bicycling home from work and the combo of music I was listening to and the smells outside reminded me of going to Midnight Mystery Rides in like 2009, getting drunk and/or high surrounded by other people on bicycles and having fun.

So I’m having a moment of hardcore nostalgia, right? And then remember I was 29 that year. Which is how old Daci is.

when I felt happy and carefree again for a while

(= a concert report of a kind from BC @ Särkänniemi 11.8.2023 🖤)

- First things first, the weather report: partly cloudy most of the time, not too warm but not too cold either (until maybe after the gig; I knew I didn't pack my super sexy gloves in vain 😌)

- The atmosphere was rather chill at the amusent park where the concert was held, so we had a chance to hang about and even go to exactly one ride lol (which was quite enough for us and we actually had a fun time and really put the amusement in amusement park tyvm, unlike the other (10-ish) people in the ride who looked like they'd rather be literally anywhere else)

- Also @wearenosaints and I were asked to give our extremely coherent and otherwise correct opinions about the Back To School event to the press like the very important people we are so yeah if you see our faces on the paper tomorrow that's us hiiiii 👋

- I was pleasantly surprised to get MUCH better spots than what I had last time BC played at Särkänniemi (=couldn't see shit from the stage being so low and all the phones and fucking CARDBOARD SIGNS blocking our view), our spots were rather excellent tbh, at least in comparison to what I was expecting

- ...aaaaaaand then the cardboard signs appeared 🙂

- So yeah if anyone was filming a video at that time (just before BC came on stage), the collective voi vittu! that can probably be heard in the background when the signs first appeared that was definitely us hiiiii 👋

- I know the five months between my previous BC show and this one is a short time in the grand scheme of things I guess but I assure you it's felt like half a lifetime at least, so it was an exciting moment to see all the guys run on stage one by one, I was so thrilled about seeing them with my bare eyeballs again that I was surprised everytime any of them showed up lol, for example I think Joonas was the last one I saw and it took a while for him to come to our side of the stage too, so I was like "oh yay Porko's here too!" as if I had forgotten he's in the band as well 😂

- We saw a LOT of Olli and 😩😩😩😩 he's such a sexy motherfucker that I'm actually mad about it. I love how he really puts his whole goddamn pussy into the show, and the way he's so flirty sjfjfjkfkfkffk for a while I thought he had, you know, someone special watching him from the side of the stage because he kept flirting and making faces towards someone on his left side the whole fucking time, but then I figured Santeri was filming there so I guess he was just flirting with the camera like the common slut he is <3

- (and this totally did not give me any fic ideas about flirty!Olli and jealous!Allu 👀)

- Speaking of Aleksi: 😩😩😩😩😩

- He's nice-looking alright although I've never really been that attracted to him, but literally the first time I saw him tonight I was like 'well damn, Aleksi looks fine as hell?' 😩😩😩😩 the hair he has now looks sooooooo good on him, the shirt he was wearing really brought out his tits made him look rather desirable in my eyes, I may have an itsy-bitsy crush on him now byeeeee 💀

- idk man being there just felt a bit like coming home? 😭 there weren't any surprises in the setlist but honestly I didn't expect there to be, it was sort of comforting actually to know exactly how it was going to go and the guys seemed happy about playing in Finland again as well (Niko: "Everyone here knows our songs!!" 😂🥰)

- They also teased us about the Nokia Arena show that's apparently happening at some point in (near?) future 👀 I mean, don’t quote me on this lol they didn't spill any actual deets but it's gotta be Nokia Arena right? I mean, what else could it be lol

- But yeah. Lately there's been so much stuff in my life that's been stressing me out and making me feel uneasy and worried and some of it even a little sad (just earlier today I had to fight back tears in the bus because I was upset about something that had happened I know I shouldn't be upset about and yet...), but during the show? None of that shit mattered. For those 60 minutes, I was so completely happy and carefree again 🖤

- Many thanks to the peeps who tolerated my bad jokes today and only made little fun of my cool and sexy gloves, you know who you are and I love you <3

- See you next week 🤝

Good People Doing Good Things -- Little Things Mean A Lot

16-year-old Gabe has autism and his bicycle was his ticket to freedom and solace, providing him with an outlet to express himself and find tranquility in a world that can often be overwhelming.  He once told his mother that when he was riding, it was the only time his brain was quiet. And then one day a few weeks ago, Gabe’s bicycle was stolen, and Gabe was heartbroken. The story made the local…

im not finishing it / fixing the wonky parts sorry, sketch featuring on'maa, ref for AF 2024

Diesel bicycles, "motorbikes" if you want, were a thing in GA for courier carriers.although models being stolen and used by civils and resistance movements was also a thing. usually being customised with special symbols, paint, or even ribbons depending on the culture the resistance group were from.

altuyur has no roads, so cars weren't a thing, but small engines like these powered by diesel were for a short time. After GA the diesel bikes weren't produced anymore, and weren't going to be for several decades after (and when they are id like to find an alternative to diesel fuel).

Models dating back from GA were left to rot in the wild or in someone's home, engineers who knew how to take care of them were few and finding and contacting one could be near impossible. Reminder, there is no industrial revolution things like these would take 5-10 years to be made, there is no phone, no internet, not even electricity. However, GA does birth radio communication through selectively breeding mycelium specimens and the making of immense linked mycelium networks.

motorbikes for kyhuines are just smaller, mierthri kyhuine species cannot ride the bike of land kyhuines because of their anatomy, small size and proportions

One day my friend bebelkich and I checked out a post about an idea for a second installment (DE slur) that the creators wanted to make before the studio was stolen. Kim was supposed to be the main character there, and I was thinking….. It's too easy, what if we were playing as some new character and then at the end of the game there's a FURIOUS COMEBACK of these two blockheads and…. …they get hit by a Kamaz.

That's cool, right? And my brain agreed with me. It was late, and what do you think - I dreamed that those biba and boba got hit by some kid on a bicycle.

I thought that such a cool story shouldn't go to waste, so I decided to sketch out an idea in 5 minutes and…. well…. I gone for a few weeks.

It is a forum discussion of a community article. A cyclist killed in the street by a car making a right turn. "What a stupidly dangerous mode of transportation. It shouldn't be allowed."

It strikes me. This idea that biking is dangerous. "Stupidly dangerous." The bike is not dangerous. The bike killed no one. It is 20 pounds. Inanimate on its own. Were I driven by some hypothetical bloodlust, with intent to kill hounding my pedals, I could maybe, at best, reach 18 mph. I could maybe, at best, knock someone over. I could skin their knees. Skin my knees.

(You could kill them!) if I knocked them into the street. I could kill them if I knocked them over (into the street). I could die if I knocked myself over (into the street). The bicycle is still 20 pounds. The bicycle still did none of the killing. What stolen glory are we assigning it. Why are we ignoring the 2-ton death machine in the streets which does all the killing in every circumstance here.

The bicycle is not dangerous. We push for bike lanes and they push back over losing parking. (You're the death machine here. You, in the car, not me.) The bicyclist is a brazen and entitled pedestrian to them. And a pedestrian is someone who should already yield mind body and soul to cars (the death machines. the stupidly dangerous mode of transport.) Pedestrians, who have already yielded so much to a society that favors and loves and prioritizes cars (the things doing the killing.) Bikes and pedestrians are so so dangerous at getting themselves killed. They need to act accordingly.

"What a stupidly dangerous mode of transportation" it would take an assassin, clever and creative and with both enough time and incentive, to find any way to kill someone with my bike. Your car kills without missing a beat. What a stupidly dangerous mode of transportation your car is. Stop killing us with them.
