The higher up the board is the less you’ll get from pushing, but pumping might be viable if you have a wide enough stretch of pavement.

Neat, I forgot all about Flipboard. Glad to see someone pushing for more local news reporting, giant corporate takeovers have really hurt independent reporting on all levels but especially at the local level.

Nobody can afford kids with all of the corporate price gouging and wage theft. no shit we’re not having more kids.

No way, really? How unexpected.

I’ve got ADHD/OCD so I don’t know if this changes things a bit, but I tend to rotate my hyperfixations and a lot of them involve things like going outside and riding a bike, skating, hiking, etc. so I’ve found it to be a good way to break things up. I also keep a bedtime mode set up on my phone where everything turns greyscale and the phone tells me to go to bed. It’s not perfect, but it definitely helps!

Anyone remember r/BeholdTheMasterRace? It was pretty funny. Plus, it’s always good fun to dunk on racists.

Thanks, I hate it.

Not exactly regular skateboard shape and I usually ride my bike, but my Omen bamboo dropthrough board (Masks of the world) is a great commuter. I would recommend at least trying it out if you can. The kicks are symmetrical and curve up. Also, the graphics are pretty neat if that matters to you.

The lower the board is and the bigger the wheels are, the better a commuter it will be because it’ll be easier to push and roll for longer over more obstacles like sticks, rocks, or cracks.

More like a year

Haha, gross.

I can respect that, I love walking and hiking as well but I also love sleep haha

I may have formed an IDM addiction in my younger years.

That is an excellent answer.

I love RJD2!

True. Oddly enough I’ve been a DJ Shadow fan since discovering Endtroducing in the late 90s

Also RTJ’s stuff has been featured in other commercials.

Shit-fueled ouroboros

He kinda sounds like a humorless dick who bought into the AI hype.

Haha, how about when Run The Jewels got picked up for use in Cadillac commercials? Their lyrics are hilarious and subversive, so it’s weird as hell to see it in a bougie car commercial. Killer Mike and El-P have to get paid I guess but it was kind of surreal seeing them become big because I’d been a fan of both independently over 20 years ago. Been listening to El-P’s stuff since the first Cannibal Ox album with KM not too long after that.
