Lot of people defending it though

What's with Finland?
For some they are, for some they're not, I guess. Personally I do think it helps me understand myself better , but then again I was diagnosed as a kid for ADHD, but have been off meds for 20 year (I forgot to take them and eventually stopped altogether)
I mean, what would an autism diagnosis provide?
Some peace of mind for some, I guess. Giving a name to the issue may help a little living with it
Yeah, but the title says only sex trafficking
Wait but that changes everything? Sex work doesn't automatically mean sex trafficking??
It's a 1.5 years old post
Hate that word "expat". "I hate immigrants but I'm a white man with money living in a country I wasn't born in", or better worded, "immigrant, but also an asshole"
There's no boromir in the image
Nah that's your screen. This screenshot seems clean to me
Honestly I don't remember watching the theatrical cut in the past 20 years, so don't know what's the difference. It's just that the extended editions are the ones I know, and I deeply love
Got AliExpress copies from 5dev cranks, and a steel fork for the bike. Also just testing a flatbar on the bike.
The bike feels super fun in "pub cruiser" way, but holy fuck is it dangerously twitchy on trails! Superb fun in the most derogatory way, but I'll throw the drop bar back for now, more comfy on my longish 40k commute
Found some super cheap fulcrum rapid red 900 wheels at 27.5" size, so decided to do the disc brake conversion. Add some mechanical Tektro brakes from parts bin, Kenda tires at 50mm width and sick looking yellow bar tape from local bike store, 12->10mm axle conversion and we have some absolute beauty here supported by Mezpils lager from Latvia
I have some shifting problems to solve, also the disc brake conversion kit from bezos doesn't really work all that well but those are all probably solvable issues. Might start into looking to weld a disc brake tabs to the frame :s
Since the last Post I grabbed some cheapo alu forks and cranks for 1by setup, and the bike is starting to feel great. I had a weekend trip with brother in law and realized I really wanted to add then some proper panniers and aero bars for more comfort over longer distances.
Oh, and replaced the old tiagra derailleur with a grx, works great with tiagra 4700 shifters

Now also considering throwing in some 27.5" gravel wheels with 40mm-ish tires and disc brake conversion, but not sure if I want to commit on that yet.
Had a crash on mountain bike back in January and couple ligaments snapped in the ankle, time for a fix and upgrade in a form of some braces there.
Hospital drugs were amazing. Woke up after only 3 hours of sleep but felt great, had a good core workout and even dug up my laptop to do some work I was excited to get on to. Somehow high as kite and brain on overdrive managed to solve a problem in backlog that's been stressing me out for some weeks already.
Got out later that day, and after a great lunch and some more legally obtained narcotics managed to get couple more hours of sleep in. Evening was some good slack and watching TV with wife.
Next day started strong, woke up very early but felt rested and after a cup of coffee a good short workout again. Sit-ups straight and lateral, push-ups, biceps, triceps.
Feels good right now, hoping to keep the motivation up going for the next 3+ months without mountain biking. How do you fellas keep up the spirits and motivation to keep training through injuries? Any fun stories to share? I'm probably going to spend a lot more time in Lemmy for a bit, might start spamming this comm too a bit ;)
Grabbed the bike for 80eur from a local online market with all original parts and swapped on some stuff found laying around at home like saddle, bars, Tioga levers, 10sp cassette and derailleur and pedals.
The fork is dead, probably crushed elastomers, otherwise runs like a beast. Currently planning to swap bigger tires (race king 2.2"), single chainring in front and probably a rigid fork, though haven't yet decided on that. Would be fun to repair the Marzocchi Zokes if I can find parts

Heard this before with "the patient with erection problems"
