The insurgent movement had been operating across America for twenty years before WW2 even started... twenty years of them targeting people all over the country... and you were right there in the thick of it, so you know better than anyone—hehe, it hurts, damn those extremists.
I was just sitting here watching footage of folks in Chicago throwing flowers at those German 14th Armored Division tanks... honestly, I had to crack open a beer just to process it all. 🙂
Honestly, it’s just bad business to develop a game designed around a handful of fifty free users... I mean, look—I didn't even realize that was the deal at first, and I spent my entire day scouring the web without finding a single shred of info to confirm it. 🙄

I'm with you on that—punk and country occupy a similar space in the cultural zeitgeist; when one dries up, people just drift over to the other. 😁 😁
For example, check out Sheer Terror — "Don't Hate Me 'Cause I'm Beautiful."
Robin Ramos2 said:It is what it is. Back then, the concept of "bankruptcy" was practically unheard of. Losing your job? Pure fantasy. Working without actually getting paid? Simply impossible. Employers skipping out on Social Security and health insurance contributions? Didn't exist.
Sure, we were all living on borrowed time—acting like drunken millionaires—but even now, the government has left us with quite a massive tab... I mean, just how deep does this debt go?
and all of that led directly to
Bankruptcy? It's practically routine. Actually finding a job? That’s the dream. And if you actually land one, actually seeing a paycheck? Well, let's just say good luck with that! Having an employer who actually pays into your retirement and healthcare on time? You'd have to be incredibly lucky..
The bottom line is, you people blew it all away back in the seventies.🙄
Look, I already gave you a piece of my mind about that Specialized Epic back in the day... so I eventually just decided that once it’s truly complete, it’s going to be the ultimate FULL 😁

Yeah, I get that... I really do. But if I were going to drop the cash on a full-suspension rig, I wouldn't be looking at this—I'd want an actual FULL-suspension bike designed for freeride, something with significantly more travel 🙂 a

I didn't mention that I also picked up an MX comp 105mm... Man, that sounds awesome! Personally, though—and don't hate me for this—I’ve never really been a fan of the Softail setup. It’s just not a "true" full-suspension rig, you know? It feels... I don't even know how to describe it... sort of halfway there. 👍
