A black box you can’t look inside making determinations that could affect your access to the entire site. How dystopian. It’s also pretty clearly only useful for pruning users en masse and not have to bother with the responsibility a moderator should be subject to.
Instead of building sidewalks, they arrest working moms, amazing.
Please, threaten me with more exclusives. Please, put more excerpts for shows to promote your network exclusives, and see what I do.
I’m sorry, but your mental gymnastics are just embarrassing. If you are going to be snarky, have better, more relevant arguments. Gotta love how you put “all the time” in italics, as if that’s some specially strong point. Hopefully no one takes it to heart and tries to cross them when the traffic lights don’t allow them to.
The whole point of crosswalks is that their use isn’t supposed to overlap between pedestrians and cars. You will literally fail your driving exam if your “automobile operates in the same space as pedestrians” on a crosswalk. I feel silly just pointing out the obvious.
Imagine someone trying to claim to be pro-pedestrian and fuck-cars and yet claiming crosswalks are “pedestrian spaces”. What are you, a car company lobbyists? Not just one, but two, lol
“Sure, we believe in pedestrian spaces” - proceeds to slap white stripes on an eight car lane street with narrow one meter sidewalks.
Although I do love to hate on a lot of the single-mindedness of this sub, I’ll do the guys in it a favor and assume this argument is an outlier. Otherwise, it’s just embarrassing.
Furthermore, in contrast to a car, I see people in bycicles and even ebikes far less willing to brake for any obstacles or civilians in their path. This is because they are less adept at accelerating and braking, so they want to conserve momentum above all else. They also have less visibility at a glance given how bad or completely absent most bicycle mirrors are, and maintaining stability, having to operate the pedals, and having to turn your head and body far more often while being in a far more uncomfortable position makes for a far more stressed operator.
I’ve always considered it absurd that scooters can’t have seats in a lot of countries, this is the one thing bicycles and ebikes get right and it allows for a safer ride with the possibility to rest from the stress of it. Being able to walk and use the road shouldn’t be a vehicle training issue, it should be road education training issue. Speed, that is one that varies significantly, like Germany’s autobahn shows. Cars can receive traffic tickets and revoking licenses. On an ebike, there isn’t a license to revoke, and 25km/h is already considerably dangerous to bystanders, specially coming from a vehicle that far from being designed and tested for collisions is a mesh of protruding elements instead that also has the absence of an insurance provider for when accidents do happen
This is fuck cars, don’t expect common sense to predominate, people here hate cars as if they were in a religion dedicated to it. I wonder how many just live in a bubble of privilege where the countries are wealthy enough to have the carless transit infrastructure and their lifestyles are sedentary enough and localized in a sufficiently centralized urban hub where they can actually hold those beliefs.
You make it sound like cars are driving over the sidewalk at the same propensity and speed that they are driving on the road.
They are there because ebikes often share space with pedestrians, and bycicle paths are much more likely to intersect
Besides some rumors and claims that he police officers would already have confirmed themselves by now, there is nothing to suggest he is. The closest I’ve seen are the claims that he was “deep Groyper signalling” with the bullet case inscriptions, but that’s just grasping at straws.
I suspect his Discord gamer group may have been more involved in shaping his ideology, specially if he was giving details on how he towel wrapped his rifle there. Unfortunately, Discord nuked it and now we have to rely on the (in)competence of the Trump appointed authorities and their heavy political baggage.
The fact is that is you have a group that fetishizes guns and fetishizes using them and the tactical encounters with them using a “second amendment” “it’s there to act against the oppressor” ideology, you are going to get shooters. Why obsess about what the spark or the trigger was? The Groypers are basically The Army of the 12 Monkeys in this scenario.
