Actual infrastructure dedicated for bicycles and other mobility options would nearly eliminate the "speed difference" issue in most cases.

A nearby city is ripping up one side of their main street and finally putting a physical barrier between the cars and the bikes.

Before it was just a painted line that got completely ignored, then it was the occasional traffic cone which kept getting stolen, then they tried those plastic bollards that are just hollow plastic, which just got run over.

It only took 3 deaths that I know of and countless children being injured.

That's actually a common misconception.

It's not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it's just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Obviously we all know we can see our own country's ninjas, but other countries are invisible.

Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.

So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you're actually just close to being a weeb.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.

I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don't recognize anyone, and someone thinks I'm a visitor who didn't grow up there, I'm going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.

Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.

Look, if you didn't want people watching you, then why run lines in a public place?

And will you not also be center of attention during the performance said lines are for?

I suppose a birthday is aa good a place as any to test your public speaking...

It's been so great the last 10 years saying "this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over" and everyone telling me I'm overreacting, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm exaggerating or my favorite "you're just being dramatic"

Remember, THERE'S NO WAY they'd overturn Roe v Wade.

It's like when someone goes on about their friends mom's college roommate's sister's cousin was in an accident and the EMTs and hospital definitely told them they would have died if they were wearing their belt or they died because they were wearing a belt.

K. You're still wearing it or you're getting the fuck out of my car. End of discussion and if you want to keep spouting dumb shit everywhere then we have nothing more to talk about.

Helmets save lives. Period. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.

The majority of people I've brought this up with believe MKULTRA is just a Conspiracy theory and never happened, or have never even heard of it.

Like... This is stuff they are ADMITTING TO.

And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it's 4am so you definitely won't be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.

Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.

So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a "PLEASE TAKE ONE!" sign on top.

It's too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn't count as having a fan.

Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.

I'm too old for this shit, just don't wake me up.
