Possibly confirmation bias, but enjoying the the series so far. Not as important as, "The Century of the Self", but definitely enjoying/agreeing with the sentiments expressed so far.

Anyone see the fight, it was pretty amazing! Definitely thought that Lopez won, but had it 7-5, not 11-1!

So I usually commute on my bicycle on potentially dodgy winter weather days in Reno, but moved to a place that is less bicycle friendly, not totally horrible, but moderately sketchy. Any suggestions on a good snow/ice capable motorcycle? I'm thinking some sort of dirtbike/ dual sport with...

Feel free to post up your recreations of paintings (Getty challenge), because they surely can't be as bad as mine. The Lovers, by Rene Magritte

So, I am a horrible procrastinator, and have not prepared my wardrobe for the upcoming roaring 20's sequel, curious how others have stocked their closets in preparation. It is not just a change of decade, it is a once in a century chance to indulge in widespread aesthetic decadence! _z5jU5nrlAo

Came across an interesting article about a cosplayer who was banned from further competition due to a perception of racist intent. Curious of Barfing cosplayer's thoughts on the issue, seems like sexist Francophobia to me, at first glance...

Hoping the the Bay Area Mores Forum can help me find ammo that confirms my bias against a proposed active shooter drill at my work, during normal working hours. Today, I went through a 5 hour annual safety training, and the new Health and Safety Compliance dude mentioned that he was working...

The answer to why is related to the allowable number of characters in the thread title, but difficult to say whether it stems from the chicken or the egg. On topic, I find it both cool and interesting that Beyond Meats (vegan meat alternative company) has partnered with Carl's Jr., a...

Anyone have experience with them? I like the styling of the CV-1, but the Igorex looks pretty good too. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45292028?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Best I've seen all week! r59AWfhwpPg

The heavyweight champ was finally pardoned for transporting a lover over state lines a century or so ago. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/sports/jack-johnson-pardon-trump.html

Will it live up to the hype, and who is going to win? This could and should be a great fight. I expected GGG to have a distinct advantage until recently, because Canelo is looking good, and has age on his side.

Anyone checking out this fight, or have opinions on the outcome? Chavez looked skeletal and weak at weigh-in to me. Even if he hydrates his missing 15-20 pounds, and retains his strength/power, he is still facing a more skilled, disciplined, and probably powerful opponent than himself.

Did anyone see this, I'd be curious of your thoughts and interpretation of the movie. I thought it was an interesting movie with a slow start. My interest was mostly viewing it as a puzzle to figure WTF it was actually about, with some funny physical comedy thrown in. I'll give my interpretation...

RIP An amazing athlete and entertainer!
