  1. When my fellow Koreans get overly defensive when criticism of their nation/culture is made in any way.

    "Dude, korea is the best fucking nation in the entire fucking world."

    "Meh, it's ok, the neighborhoods I've been to are kind of dirty though."

    "STFU, wheres your pride of your homeland, Korea whoops America's ass. KOREAN PRIDE!!!!!."

    The same can be said when some Chinese/Taiwanese people I know get batshit crazy at me when I say Chinese as a language sounds horrible.

  2. i have a canon ae-1 program slr up for grabs in good condition

    it comes with a canon 50mm 1:18 lens and also a vivitar 75-205 mm 1:38 lens, the vivitar has a ding on the outside casing but not the lens part itself

    also included: a smelly bag, vivitar flash, 52mm filter, strap, battery included in camera, and a soligor winder

    bought used but then i found my dads old eos so i dont need this anymore.

    SOLD

  3. I'm going to get a road bike

    I'm thinking about getting a fixed gear

    but i'm worried i'll look like a hipster who just picked his bike because he thought it was cool

    here's the thing, that would be basically true.

    whether or not i'm a hipster is a pretty subjective problem but i really don't know much about bikes, if i got a fixie it would be because it looks cool (clean lines & mechanical simplicity)

    so realistically, what are the pros and cons of riding a fixed gear bike?

    are there any actual practical benefits?

    pros: probably weighs less, less maintenance, good training for a road bike, looks cool

    cons: well, no gears, less practicality in almost every situation except the velodrome, high chance to look very tarck/hipster

    if youre going to get a fixed, at least dont get velocity deep vs/ aerospoke which will likely propel you into generic hipsterdom

  4. i recently bought a canon ae-1 off of ebay but then i suddenly remembered that my dad has a canon eos 10s that i can use. my mom isn't going to let me sell the eos for sentimental reasons so my question is: which is the superior camera and if the eos is better should i sell the ae-1 on craigslist or keep both?

  5. YAY OR NAY

    i found a custom lugged southwest frameworks cyclocross bike decked out with a mix of shimano dura-ace and 600 components. wheelset is mavic open 4 cd. all for $400

    im feelin that i should jump on this now but maybe the more experienced bikers could give me advice whether i should get it or not

  6. im not going to go for it, i can find a better deal

    the cranks are shimano 600s

    some of the components are pretty bad

    bontrager stem, sun rims, nashbar seatpost
