we have long covid

I appreciate your passion on this topic.

If it was about speeding or safety they’d … have police patrolling more often.

That’s how we got here in the first place! Police don’t make people safe. Enforcement cannot make an unsafe road in to a safe road.

they’re part of a mass surveillance system with the feature that records speed and adds that data along with all the other data it collects and associates with your plate number and any beacons your cell phone is transmitting.

Please share your source with us.

If you believe enforcement is a viable method of keeping people safe (it’s not) then this is justified.

Gotta admit, I’m more interested in the last 30 years than those old games. I’d love to catch up with Steve.

Steve Meretsky walked up to the plate a complete rookie and cranked out home run after home run. Dude was machine. I still love to visit his worlds.

You are asking as a mind alienated from its body. Your body has interests that are not your interests, and it uses suffering to bend you to advance its interests for it. We all exist in a state of conflict with our own biological inheritance.

Our bodies generate a mind to suffer on its behalf, because without awareness it isn’t really capable of suffering. That is the point of your existence as a mind. You exist to suffer on behalf of something that is not capable of suffering on its own, so that by your aversion to suffering, you will make choices that are in the interests of your body.

You have to decide whether to simply adopt the interests of your body, or whether to try to hold on to your own interests and make that the point of your life.

Also, “The experiences of non-human animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.”

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

Also you: “why do people bother to mention when information comes from ChatGPT”

Buddy, it’s nap time. Catch you in a couple hours when you’re feeling better.

FOSS is always available. R is always available. Your points remain but you’re never in a situation where Excel is the only thing you can use.

Questionably related.

It’s not a tu quoque when NK isn’t hurting anyone but themselves and the Americans are burning down the fucking planet. One is an urgent situation, the other is political theatre that most of us are unqualified to even analyze due to the embargoes, censorship and pervasive propaganda.

Being worried about rumors that:

they also execute/punish people(and their family members) for trying to leave the country for good or talk shit about their supreme leader

from a tiny, insignificant backwater nation when the so called leader of the free world is disappearing people from potentially every country on Earth, when the most powerful trading nation is intentionally destabilizing the global economy, well it reeks of looking for a distraction. The US government has as much to do with what is happening to NK people right now as the NK government does.

It’s situational surely, and I think an experienced cyclist knows when to take the sidewalk. But an experience cyclist also needs to know that sidewalks ARE NOT SAFE, they are just a less unsafe alternative when road conditions become intolerably unsafe, and they need to use even more caution than they normally do on the road when they take that option.

Right of way crossings are extremely dangerous, and riding on the sidewalk creates more such crossings that are even more dangerous than the ones encountered on the road, because drivers don’t have the visibility to anticipate the cyclist. Riding through right of way crossings where drivers expect pedestrians gets you killed.

If you are an American, eat what’s on your plate before you worry about NK.

We all see and hear what goes on over there.

Bullshit.

You’re scraping too hard.

Some [person] flipped me off just because I … flipped him off

Shocking, he didn’t kiss your ring??

Surely you can see that this is literally the worst possible thread to come and bitch about cyclists NOT FUCKING HURTING ANYONE.
