The other in the mid 80’s right out of our shed. This was a GT Pro Performer, the real deal. My dad was pissed that I spent $400 on a bike, but couldn’t really do much since I earned the money. If only he knew then what I would pay today for my last two mountain bikes.

This is what 83-86 looked like

Originally posted by chrisrenrut View PostI had two bikes stolen, both of which I bought with my own hard earned money. One was locked up at elementary school in the late 70’s with a cheap lock. It was a Huffy, but it was tricked out. I always got asked if it was a Redline. This is the kind of lock we used. Probably not much better than nothing at all.

Watched Season 2 of Master of None in advance of watching Ansari's "Right Now".
Loved much of MoN S2. The Bicycle Thief opener. The ep on Thanksgiving; the ep on Religion. That episode that features non-characters ("New York, I Love You") was quite memorable, particularly the silent sketch. But on the whole I grew tired of the love interest thing with the engaged Italian woman. It dragged.
Then there was the Chef Jeff thing... which prefaced Aziz's own fall from grace. Truth is stranger than fiction.
The "Right Now" special is very powerful. Ansari addresses the babe.net article from the very beginning and it never goes away. He uses it, though not directly, throughout the set and recounts the transformative effect it has on him and his worldview. He seems repentant and humble.
Outside of his petition to spend more time with your parents, this was my favorite bit (as summarized by Vulture):
But then he turns that crowd work on its head, taking a poll of the room about a recent news story where a pizza was delivered with pepperoni apparently arranged in the shape of a swastika. At Ansari’s prompting, some of the crowd claps to indicate they think it was arranged that way intentionally; some of them clap to say they feel it was a mistake. And then Ansari twists the knife: There was no pizza, there was no swastika. The story is made up. The audience was so anxious to participate, to voice an opinion, to feel outrage or skepticism, that they weighed in on a thing that did not exist.
The implications of that bit are not subtle or hard to parse. Some members of the audience are willing to stand in judgment without even the scantest idea of what they’re judging, and the connective tissue between that idea and Ansari’s misconduct allegation is pretty obvious. “We’re all shitty people!” he says. The only reason the audience isn’t as implicated in that unthinking judgment is that unlike Ansari, there’s no widely available footage of them, say, dancing to R. Kelly. It’s the kind of joke that could easily come off as defensive, as a disgruntled and frustrated complaint about the unequalness of a vast audience condemning Ansari for something they know nothing about, on a public scale the audience will never personally experience.
But the total impression of Right Now is not that it’s a defensive screed from a wealthy comedian claiming that the audience is also at fault for his behavior. It doesn’t feel like a series of excuses, either, or a plain humble prostration, or an abandonment of comedy in the face of seriousness. It is at times all of those things, and Ansari argues for, variously, the importance of reconsidering the past, the importance of discarding the past, the need for wokeness, the exhaustion of wokeness, the significance of cultural context, the frustration of contextual truths, the need for gratitude, and the emotional difficulty of gratitude.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

Finished ST3 this weekend I enjoyed it but I am a sucker for any show that brings the 89’s back.
Never used a bike lock either and I had GT Pro Performer. Ended up selling it for a BMX Redline.
My exact bike. Crazy to see this in the museum

Strangers Things 3 is fantastic and I will fight anyone who disagrees."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
