Hipsters repaint bike lanes in brush off to Hasids - Brooklyn, NY

The fact that it's December and I can still happily wear shorts outside suggests that we won't have to wait that long.

Ouch, watch your knees--it's not a good idea to ride a bike without some form of knee protection in the colder part of the year. Srsly.

Yes yes but what are your views on riding brakeless through a red light without wearing a helmet?

This is fine aslong as you pray.

Expect, but don't know. Who cares. We'll all be dead long before the flooding, hurricanes and seasons change months.

Just get on the next Ark, you fool. Look out for a fellow called Tynanoah (no-one will take him seriously at the time). ;)

does this mean i should remove my front brake?

Theres a whole ultra-orthodox group above even the much more common hasid's. It is them that believe Israel should not exist yet.

There's an annual Israeli flag-burning ceremony in Stamford Hill. I can't remember the group, but they're obviously fairly anti-Zionist.

Don't we already have particle physics for that? And string theory?

There's no method in astrology. It's astronowoo.

My interest is in trying to understand and explain how such beliefs arise, not in justifying them.

Please tell me that Melanie Phillips is going to be told about this. It might make her head explode.

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't even know who Melanie Phillips is. A quick Google reveals that there is probably a reason why.

I misunderstood you, for which I shall seek penance from a deity of your choice.

Oh, OK. Hm, Michael Jordan will do.

I would imagine that the biggest drivers are sex, food and death.

No way. Got any evidence for that?

Fucking excellent, sign me up.

In life, you can do as you please within reason. As the head of my religion, reason is my judgement.
Burial was inspired by the following:
In Melanesia, inhabitants of the Trobriand Islands buried their dead twice. First, they would bury them, then dig up the bones and carve them into spoons and other utensils. They believed this was an act of piety. Eventually, these utensils were placed in caves facing the sea. The children hold the utensils until one dies. The rest tuck in until no more remain. The cave is then filled in.

I'm not the king of anything.

Jesus Christ is thataway. ------------>

Excellent name.

Pikey twit?

It makes for a nice combination of two German words if you use the 't' twice, yes. ;)

I liked the combination with the first name, too, though.

not to stereotype/generalize an entire group of people, but the dislike of the hasids for cyclists in this neighborhood is sooo obvious. when you're riding around there the hasidic ladies will look you right in the eyes and then push their strollers out into your path. or if they're in their vans they seem to delight in cutting off a cyclist, or passing you with a half inch clearance. it's kinda ridiculous, i know people who have had wrecks as a result of this.

Or maybe they can tell you're from Philadelphia? ;P

at least i am not one of zee germuhhnz.

I once wrote an essay on the shell economy of the Trobriand Islands. Gripping stuff.

Yes. The children grip the utensils.
