  • I feel similar. 5km to work for me and I ride it every day. Probably twice a week I have a bad encounter with a car. Usually just them not noticing me on a crosswalk (which is why I always pretend I’m invisible). And in my city, we have far above the national average of bike deaths from cars.

    But I still enjoy biking, and don’t enjoy driving. And think cars ruin cities. And want change. I guess that’s enough for me to ignore the serious risks.



  • I was gonna buy one of those Lite phones, but it was expensive so I just deleted time-wasting apps and now my smartphone respects my time. Hardest part was getting people to just text me instead of various social media messenger apps. In the end, I deleted my accounts and now everyone from school thinks I’m dead, but those close to me can reach me easily. Sometimes I still binge YouTube via Firefox on my phone though, so I installed “Unhook” which blocks recommended videos, so I can only see what I search for.

    I guess just remember that your smartphone can be dumb too. And still a lot more convenient than a flip phone.
