Is America Really That Bad?
  • Of course you can't predict the future, and neither can motorists. What you can do is ride at a speed reasonably slow enough that you can react to people, and you can ride on the side of the pathway further from the doorways.

    And like I said already, a bike on person accident at slow speed is favorable to risking my own life or life-changing injury by riding in the street.

    If you're trying to change my mind, stop trying. For anyone reading this, petition your local government to build safe bike lanes with solid barriers and we won't have to have this argument.

  • so the only case these apply are when the cyclist isn't paying attention to their surroundings... which is the real reason it's dangerous, and when you eliminate that, I would rather have bikes passing next to people than cars passing next to bikes, because the latter is actually deadly when someone does make a mistake

  • Is America Really That Bad?
  • Baseless statement, elaborate

    It's not more dangerous for pedestrians because I am aware and respectful of them.

    So tell me exactly how it's more dangerous for me to be on a further-removed pathway, protected by a curb and other objects like light posts.

  • Twitter/X removing the block feature
  • He hated twitter for how effective it was in spreading awareness on progressive issues. Him and all the other billionaires want that platform split up, and it only costs him $44b, a fraction of his net worth.

  • Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.
  • It may be hypocritical, but have you considered that all of these forms of entertainment are unhealthy? The only difference is that they get more and more efficient with each generation, causing increasing levels of concern from each generation. That's indicative of a rising trend

  • Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.
  • The fact that people have been concerned about this for generations doesn't automatically nullify the point. Attention and focus are skills which children must develop through boredom and long-form focus. TikTok brain is making that harder and harder for children to learn.
