false, none of these supposed "aryan" children have blonde hair

it's rainy and dark right now and i can't find my tools, but if that's all it takes to fix it when i get around to it tomorrow I'm gonna be so pissed that i missed such an obvious solution , especially when the cable is flattened and obviously not where it used to be

i couldn't remember how to tag a user in a comment so here it is

i mean i can push it back in so it looks normal but then when i pull it the brake stays closed after releasing. there really isn't anything to tighten on the other end

yes that is exactly it! and everything was fine until i had it in the back of a car with the front wheel off and my friend was a little rough taking it out and twisted the handlebars the wrong way

naw i tried multiple times to reattach and adjust the brakes because i really hoped it wasn't something worse. i could get the cable back in but everytime i pulled the brake it just got loose again and wouldn't go back. it's definitely something with the tension 😞

oh yeah i mean that's definitely part of why i don't want to fuck with the cables, but that's what I try to do whenever i disassemble anything

i think i understand what you're saying, but i also think i tried that. every time i used the front brake it came loose again. i'm pretty sure i have to open it up and tighten it up there, unless that is what you meant and then i guess i didn't understand you lol

i was hoping for something besides 'just open it up and fuck around!" but using it as a learning experience is a good mindset lol, thank you 🚴‍♂️

Wouldn't it be on a Friday so all the government and court spokespeople/officials could take the weekend off and just deal with the outrage in a few days?

i want to say that i really appreciate your analysis throughout this post and you've really helped me grasp the situation better. but isn't the whole boog movement about bringing about a second civil war and being anti-government? it just seems like willful ignorance for police (acting on behalf of the government) to brush off that shit as just a "mentally ill loner". like is it similar to poc joining white nationalist groups and thinking they won't get killed when they've outlived their usefulness?

but then i remember that cops are dumb as shit and friendly fire happens all the time and they spin it as "dying in the line of duty" or whatever, so maybe they really can just brush it off and think it'll never happen to them as they continue to collaborate with those groups.

it's just really hard to understand that mind set. like there's "leftists" today who don't trust "tankies" because of stuff that happened last century but cops now don't care about the anti-cop violence committed by their "allies" because they're all on the same side. idk I'm just kinda thinking out loud now

for the first time in their lives they finally have to face consequences for their actions :michael-laugh: :che-laugh: :michael-laugh:

yeah there's another commenter who said something similar. i was just wondering if that one dead cop would be enough to make them think differently, but they'll probably be more hands-on behind the scenes and hands-off during actual "protests"

i hadn't really thought about this angle but it makes a lot of sense. idk if it's come out yet who it was that killed that cop but i wonder if some of the police already know who it was and have talked with them about it so it doesn't happen again

i mean i know there's a huge overlap, it's just confusing to me why on-duty cops would cooperate with off-duty cops and their friends after a cop got beat to death at the capitol, OR if now they're just going to be even more hands-off now so they don't get killed too. but:

there are enough shared goals, that any friction can easily be swept under the rug.

this is kinda the rationale that I was looking for. like i know cops get shot by other pigs when they tackle someone or die in a car crash when they get in the way of another cop, so it makes sense that as long as they can keep furthering their goals they don't care if a few cops get killed in the process. thank you

i mean I'm not really talking about new laws or slightly less shitty cops or whatever, just if the shitty ones that already exist will be less likely to help out their fellow off-duty cops & friends now they know they can get killed too, or if they'll stay out of their way even more so they don't get their heads bashed in

so the police will continue to let the other chuds do whatever they want, even kill cops, as long as none of the officers get in trouble for it? i was just wondering if cops getting killed would make them think twice, but you're probably right lol. as long they don't get punished and they don't get killed they won't care

i mean yeah that makes sense I'd bet that a lot of small town cops belong to a lot of those groups. and i know a lot of portland police live in the same part of washington that patriot prayer is from so they probably have a lot of cooperation and trust. i guess I'm thinking more about police in bigger cities where those out of town groups go to fight blm or whoever. like if pp go down to Salem, Oregon or up to Seattle will the police there trust them the same way? if the proud boys all go to nyc again will nypd let them run around with swords and attack people? if blm beat a cop to death they'd come down hard on them.

and i think i remember some boogaloos killing a few cops over the summer, so like how many cops have to get killed before they stop cooperating?

lol well then they get out there and have a snowball fight while you can
