Part of me thinks this is insane, part of me gets it.
Riding my bicycle in the city is my version of it. While it is dangerous and initially I felt too afraid to enjoy it, eventually I came to the attitude that the adrenaline rush and requirement to be so focused is a feeling of being more alive than if I was half zoned out in a car because I could be half zoned out.
I’ve always said I would love a motorcycle if I could feel safe but maybe your perspective here is what I need.
There’s a balance though, right? Fear keeps us alive and is good at that. By this argument I could easily talk myself into trying heroin and be miserable then dead in 6 months.
Yeah I’m just saying it’s not always easy to strike the balance. I’m several times more open to risk than my grandparents were, but I’m willing to bet I’m much more risk averse than you are. I think we are all controlled by “fear” to a large extent because if we weren’t, we wouldn’t last long.
I’ve been thinking about quitting my job for years. But there are so many pluses to it that it’s incredibly hard to go through with it. On the other hand, I’m a slave stuck inside most of my life. I haven’t figured out how to quit my job without blowing up my path to a secure retirement. It’s hard. Life’s hard.
So without knowing my circumstance, you claim to know the solution…
Curious, do you know of any jobs available for someone with only a bachelor’s degree (not even in their field of work), that pay very well, and also keep next to zero tabs on employee’s day to day, and also pay a large percentage of their employee’s salary freely into a 401k, no matching required? Virtually no meetings and allows work from home. I keep my camera nearly off every day, and no one harasses me about it.
I don’t know of an opportunity even close to this elsewhere. I had a coworker friend go from my employer to an enormous corporation where he likely tripled his salary. But his work life balance was garbage. He quit, and now he’s coming back to my current company. I’m very lucky. I just also happen to be very bored. Boredom comes from a failure to properly entertain oneself, so this is largely on me.
Again, you’re passing judgement as if there were one simple binary factor there aren’t. You don’t know me. I appreciate it if you truly are trying to help, but it’s also a bit condescending and necessarily ignorant.

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.
Third party hasn’t been remotely close to having a chance in recent history, so this shitty anti-thought is just handing the reins to trump, who will very obviously make it way worse. But then again that’s what you want, isn’t it linker?
No third party got enough votes to do anything but Fuck up one campaign or or another, at least for a few decades that’s been true. Exactly what good does that do? Absolutely no one will get “the message” from your 4% of the population (I’m being pretty generous there. Don’t get your hopes up) protest votes. All you can do is help trump by doing that
The protest vote has failed to achieve anything since the always. Is it possible you don’t know that? Or is the goal specifically to help trump?
You people going around spreading anti Biden sentiment like to pretend to be martyrs, but you’re 1000% hurting Palestinians more than Biden ever could. You pretend it doesn’t matter that you’ll elect trump and the horrors will grow in size, but it fucking matters. It will be your fault. Your conscious will not be clean no matter how many times you pretend otherwise
I haven’t read the articles because there is no link to them, but in my city there would be very valid reason for complaint about ebikes because the same sociopath tendencies that people exhibit while driving cars are moving to ebikes. These fuckers ride them like goddamned motorcycles, except whooshing right next to people on trails and sidewalks meant to be shared or in some cases, primarily used by, pedestrians.
If I were to guess the average speed of ebike riders I would say around 25 mph and you usually don’t even see any pedaling.
I’ve learned to despise them because what’s happened is that the people who don’t want to deal with car problems but are too lazy to pedal have brought car-type problems to spaces that used to only be shared with bikes.
The problem is obviously with shit actors but what can we do about it? Until there are laws enforced about speeding and riding like an asshole, nothing will change. Which in my mind won’t happen without articles or something else bringing it to the attention of people who don’t actually deal with these assholes.
I am extremely in favor of bikes over cars but this commenter actually makes a valid point. I have noticed extremely shitty riding behavior on ebikes and there is no hope of any legislation to curb that behavior until we talk about it.
In any case the tweet chose to not include any links to these articles.

FYI when you write out a thesis about how no one could be doing something for a genuine reason then that reinforces previous reasons to think you’re a conservative
So you’re claiming that you’ve known a significant number of sexual assaulters but no other type of male who calls themselves a feminist?
Personally I could’ve seen your point if everything you wrote about it, along with past statements, hadn’t rubbed me the wrong way. It was like you were just waiting to find a way to bring down “feminists”.
Okay so you’re all about suspicion toward people who need you to know their morals. So then what does it say about your need to let everyone know you’re not like those “feminists”?
Also I don’t think your me too comment checks out at all. Harvey Weinstein was not an "activist " for women. Nor was Kevin Spacey, R Kelly, Bill Cosby, Garrison Keillor, etc. the only example I can think of where you could have a point would be Louis CK. So yeah, far from “almost every single one of them”.
And finally, you extrapolated all of this shit from that one sentence in the article… Not a good look
I find it incredibly unlikely that anyone ever considered Harvey Fucking Weinstein to be a champion of women. It was actually quite well known that he was a pervert, if anything
