The new cars have been coming out with voice commands also so you don’t have to look at the screen while driving. They even have a tactile button for it on the wheel.

There’s more Africa than just South Africa.

It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

“You should be grateful”

If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

“I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.

Wow you’re so deeply obsessed with me. It would be Flattering in a way but creepily unhealthy how much this has encompassed your life for a week now.

Stop looking for a strawperson argument so you can ignore the rules of the road.

Stop looking for excuses to blow through stop signs. Rules of the road are for you too.

It helps it seem more creepy. Adds to the tongue that seems perpetually stuck out.

Stop looking for excuses to run a stop sign.

There are no good enough excuses for you to ignore traffic safety.

You should take your own advice about irrational hatred.

Still not an excuse for you to run a red light.

Do you buy your bike by how many stop signs you can run through?

Stop at stop signs

Jfc. Learn to stop at a stop sign.

Go learn how to stop at a stop sign

I’ve seen bmws get plowed by distracted drivers. But that’s the thing: Cars aren’t empty machines. They are operated by humans. As are cyclists, cyclists who should also practice the rules of the road.

As a fellow cyclist myself , I am disappointed by your intellect on this one.

What a perspective to hear for the day…

• • A couple of people who were close to me just died so no,I will not be wanting to come back to this moment. I’m actually looking forward to aging. Means I can get some time between myself and the event. We age every day. Aging is easy compared to this particular experience.
• • And as far as looking back to previous experiences,no, life is very very hard for some people and struggle will be there. If we’re looking at it as “oh I survived a beat down easier back then cuz I was so much younger oh but I also didn’t have any autonomy in some of the wretched situations I was in” I don’t think that is the measure for a great time.
• • that platitude is ageist. Aging shouldn’t be looked at as something to be disappointed with. If anything it will be better in that you can have more experiences to look back on that were positive. And happy that it happened. Not needing to go back to it. Something seems clingy with time on that one and that seems mentally and emotionally unhealthy. Additionally aging is a privilege if you last long enough to age well. Look back to better experiences. Not just ‘better physical health’.
• • it’s a miss take on what defines as better health. Youth anlone isn’t necessarily a decent measure for better health. And mental health can change as you age. Sometimes for the better as we get more experiences to challenge hard inner dialogues. A lot of people can become much healthier (both mentally and physically) as they grow older and gain better perspectives to apply to their current moments not just past ones.

Reasonable to assume a cyclist that aren’t required to hold a license to be out on the road won’t obey road rules.

It does happen often. Many Cyclists often do not obey road rules. ‘Rules are for thee and not for me.’ And it’s hilarious you think anyone that entitled has any self observation enough to think they would look bad while doing so. Riding a bike should absolutely require a license to be out on the road.

And where did they say the car drive in the bike lane? They didn’t. This is your narrative.

If we’re going by anecdotes, I saw a cyclist ignore a red last week and in the past month several ignore stop signs.

So you’re assuming the bike was in a car lane instead of a car trying to drive in the designated bike lane?

You’re picking and choosing assumptions that suit your preference.

Considering the car was going 70 in a thirty it doesn’t sound like he obeyed the rules of the road.

Nor did the cyclist. Two wrongs don’t make you right.
