it clicked pretty quickly when i finally went and looked it up online, and played a bit with a standalone browser version i found. the in game explanation just isn’t very good.
Terrific advice in this thread, definitely start on flat ground (hell i started off practicing ollies in the grass) and wear helmet/pads (some people might give you shit about these; those people are idiots), BUT:
You absolutely will eat shit from time to time, and you have to accept this and be ready for it. I must have tumbled down the side of the bowl 50 times before I finally dropped in successfully, and it was worth every scrape and bruise.
Someone else said “learn to fall.” I’ll go one further and say if you have the means to do so then take a judo or parkour class - they will teach you how to minimize injury when you hit the ground.
Also, it’s not a terrible idea to walk an area before you skate it, and note large cracks/gaps in the sidewalk, scattered bits of gravel, etc. so it isn’t a suprise when/if you run over them.
it’s because (in the US at least) the “Skinhead” subculture has been colonized by neo-nazis to such an extent that they’re basically synonymous. also falling back on pedantries like “I’m not a nazi because I’m not a member of the german national socialist party” is how nazis try to deflect people calling them out.
edit: just realized you said it was /r/bald… very strange that people on /r/bald would start calling someone a nazi for having a shaved head. i think you got called a nazi for something else, and the content of this comment makes me think they were right.
e2: account is 10 days old, refers to women as “females”, and likes to whine about anti-white racism. tag appropriately
e3: a reddit account with the same username exists, but they’ve had a bot overwrite their comment history with gibberish. can’t find shit from them posted to /r/bald, so it looks like that’s just an out and out lie. why would you tell on yourself this hard?

I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn’t the best. The “touch screen” is...
i grew up in a rural area where nascar is very popular (i personally never cared for it or paid much attention) and never understood the seemingly irrational hatred some people seemed to have for mr earnheardt, but that one quote makes it all make sense. thanks for clearing that up for me.
right? this is the same type of brain-dead anti-intellectualist strawmanning that you see going around “mom groups” and antivaxx circles, just slightly tweaked. people are reading in their own nuanced criticisms (and those definitely need to be heard) but the meme itself is just “doctor bad”.
