I don’t know your backgrounds or motivations, but that simple a response feels flippant.

I too believe that you should obviously resist and try to counter someone who wants to stamp down the “other” just because they are the other. But simple talk probably shouldn’t warrant execution, unless you want those same rules to apply against you as well. Fight them with words and actions, yes. Discredit the speaker and their ideas, embarrass them, ostracize them. Drive them and their bass-ackwards views out of polite society. I know this is difficult in the current environment. They appear to have no shame. But I think the bar for for violence has to be higher.

I wont shed any tears for this guy. I wont use his name. I want him to be forgotten. But I don’t think his killing should be celebrated either.

They want pity and/or retribution for him for him, then there’s a list he needs to get on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Hortman

I agree with you in principle. It sucks a well-worded dissenting opinion is getting downvoted. I’m not an advocate for political killings. But I want to pose a counter question… When does it become acceptable to cross this line? When can an otherwise reasonable person give up on a broken system, and go from political resistance to violent resistance? Because for a lot of people, their rights, their lives, and their futures are under attack. Both politically AND with the full force of the government.

Hummed to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Everytime I leave the house…

Keys, Glasses, Wallet, Phone, Wallet, Phone…

They do this occasionally, where they’ll replay them over the course of a week or something. I recently read that there are also ways to play them in offline mode through mods.

My biggest problem with these type of e-bikes… There are too many clueless operators using these class 2 “bikes” and their class 3 2-wheel brethren on shared use walking/biking trails. 15-20 mph feels ok to me for bike lanes, but a fuzzy understanding of laws and safety rules plus a lack of enforcement ends up with people using these how and where they shouldn’t.

“I don’t hate you specifically… My hate is universal.”

This. “Lets try it again, just to be sure.” ::watches them put it to sleep with the soft power button::

just to say where I’m coming form: I communte by bike, thankfully living somewhere drivers are relatively polite and bike friendly.

Riding into oncoming traffic isn’t going to convince any drivers you’re in the right. it’s just being stupid and unsafe. They want to raise awareness, I get it, and this driver is certainly a whiny, entitled brat. but what the cyclists are doing here is just reinforcing the driver’s poorly informed opinion that bikes are the problem.

As a Bicycle commuter… there’s plenty of “Am I the Asshole?” that needs to go around here.

I understand the cyclists are treating this as a protest, but unless the road is closed, get the hell out of the oncoming lane. You’re not doing anything here other than confirming the drivers bias that you’re the problem.

As for the driver, just fucking STOP until they pass. Is the risk of you hitting someone worth the few minutes that pulling over out of the way costs you? The driver’s pissing and moaning on the video is some self-entitled bull shit.

“Damn. This is gonna be the coolest thing I’ve ever done, and I’m not gonna get to see it.”

alternately, go classical if you can summon up the appropriate amount of rage… “To the last I grapple with thee! From hell’s heart I stab at thee, for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee!”

Hell yeah, classy! Especially if you hit the button on that last up note.

wargies?

The Wendy’s, McDonalds, and Hardees In my town are all closed or closing soon. They’ve priced their garbage quality food right out of what the people that would go there can afford. Good riddance. My only sympathy is for the folks losing a job, but working Fast food suuuuucks. I hope those folks find something better.

some will. others will delude themselves that it’s everyone’s fault except themselves and their choice to follow a malicious fool.

stumbled across this old post and thought it might be useful to to leave this link: https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html

They have quite a bit on their site about the testing process if you’re curious. Seems to be quite thorough.

Don’t get me wrong, Drumph’s second term will be bad for everyone. But the climate issue is going to be truly catastrophic on a scale even he and his cronies can’t match. There should be plenty of worry to go around.

A couple of years ago, I heard someone edit the kids song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” as “Keys, Glasses, Wallet, Phone”. I have not forgotten anything since.
