May 2023

The only knee jerk reaction around here were the ones demonizing the woman in the video when it first broke.

No it doesn't. ismnotwasm May 2023 #92

Do you understand how a rental works? LisaL May 2023 #94

So what do you think happened? ismnotwasm May 2023 #102

It seems very simple. LisaL May 2023 #106

Let me go check the thread, I'm not seeing it ismnotwasm May 2023 #115

I'll explain it, then. yardwork May 2023 #171

His receipt ends at 7:19. LisaL May 2023 #85

I'm kinda curious as to why he insisted on that particular bike. MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #107

A good question indeed. LisaL May 2023 #109

I've read that it was an e-bike. Ace Rothstein May 2023 #120

Fair enough, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #123

You won't get an argument from me. Ace Rothstein May 2023 #141

I think they are all e-bikes. LisaL May 2023 #187

There are a number of these types of pranks on TikTok lately. yardwork May 2023 #140

I'm thinking you're correct, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #142

To me it now appears he wanted the specific bike he rented LisaL May 2023 #144

No. People are defending the Nurse now. Bonx May 2023 #75

No, you ismnotwasm May 2023 #99

Let me make it really simple for you. LisaL May 2023 #104

What was her lawyers original statement about the bike? ismnotwasm May 2023 #108

Don't order me around. LisaL May 2023 #111

Yes, there is. ismnotwasm May 2023 #112

You just can't stop being wrong can you? MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #100

Sure I can ismnotwasm May 2023 #103

It's already been explained to you, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #110

But I'm interested in what you have to say, it's cool if you don't want to of course. ismnotwasm May 2023 #113

Have to say about what? MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #116

So here is what I think you guys believe ismnotwasm May 2023 #117

From all the evidence so far, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #121

Well, I usually don't get involved in back and forths, and I am being kind of an asshole. ismnotwasm May 2023 #124

Being in possession of it "just prior" and returning it to the docking station LisaL May 2023 #125

It doesn't matter if he was in possession just prior, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #126

So here's the thing ismnotwasm May 2023 #128

It's been explained over and over to you, yet you still cling to the false notion MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #132

Ok. ismnotwasm May 2023 #134

His receipts show he returned it at 7:19. LisaL May 2023 #135

Her receipts prove that she's telling the truth. yardwork May 2023 #173

No, because what he did prior is irrelevant SickOfTheOnePct May 2023 #143

In the video we see the MAN shove the bike back into the dock. yardwork May 2023 #172

People have told you repeatedly SickOfTheOnePct May 2023 #118

What facts? ismnotwasm May 2023 #122

The receipts with the time stamps SickOfTheOnePct May 2023 #139

Reading profiles can be enlightening sarisataka May 2023 #127

Wow!!!! MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #129

Why yes. ismnotwasm May 2023 #133

Now I understand why you're attacking the woman MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #136

As are reading ismnotwasm May 2023 #131

Could you elaborate sarisataka May 2023 #137

Could you? ismnotwasm May 2023 #147

Wish I could rec this post n/t SickOfTheOnePct May 2023 #163

Ok ismnotwasm May 2023 #170

So, you still believe the young man and his sister despite being shown, quite clearly, MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #175

Well, I too do anti-racist work, and... you're doing it wrong. yardwork May 2023 #176

Okay, there's kind of a lot to unpack here. Jedi Guy May 2023 #185

When you refer to a race as a scourge Sympthsical May 2023 #169

Well, buddy, your profile kind of says that, yeah. yardwork May 2023 #174

Let's see the receipts. Not really sure why this woman is an "asshole." yardwork May 2023 #138

Because of the way she handled it ismnotwasm May 2023 #146

She rented the bike then was prevented from leaving on it. LisaL May 2023 #149

Well, if I was being robbed, I would call for help. yardwork May 2023 #150

Why is it that you can't admit that you are wrong, especially with the clear MarineCombatEngineer May 2023 #155

Yep, his receipts show he docked the bike at 7:19. LisaL May 2023 #186
