yeah, basically; they were people, just like anybody else, mostly raised with the assumption that they were born better than poor people

some of them were about as good of dudes as you can expect to come out of a feudal society (so grading on a curve), and others were loving rear end in a top hat bullies, psychos, and murderers

If I recall, it was mostly the lower ranking samurai, who were like, barely samurai in status that tended to be a bit less shitheaded and lead rebellions and the like. Once you got to court scholars and nobles they were just The Worst.

Also probably killed Sakamoto Ryoma for liking ideas like "freedom" and "equality" too much for their reactionary imperial restoration revolution.

I remember reading years ago that going by an almost certainly bastard son of some queen years ago the current rightful heir is apparently a farmer in Australia.

People who irrationally hate bikers are still worse, but bike culture is so weird to me. Like, my take away from this is that this woman is willing to die if it helps get more protected bike lanes built.

I mean, in a country where cycling is safe and drivers generally don't hate cyclists like in the Netherlands, nobody wears helmets.

i design roads and love being able to influence the projects i work on into being more bicycle and pedestrian-friendly and let me tell you that bicycle advocates are The Worst

being able to design bicycle facilities is a big part of why i became an engineer and the opportunity to do so strongly motivated my decision to take a job at my current firm and honestly i could not be more sympathetic and they are still almost always just the craziest fuckin people



last year a buncha them came to a public meeting about one of our projects that included entirely closing off part of a street to turn it into a mixed ped/bike path, to link it up to this larger bike path network that has lotsa big overcrossing structures to get them over the highways

anyway a big part of the project was also widening an arterial road to allow us to squeeze bike lanes through it which was difficult since it’s also covered in bus stops, and they were super pissed that we weren’t just killing half the lanes of this roadway (and the bus stops) to make a segregated bike trail there

fuckin bike people i swear

I mean just my personal experience points me towards wearing a helmet since none of the times I’ve spilled hard involved a car and only one of them involved me being dumb, but also, yes, streets we don’t need to wear helmets to ride on sounds like a good goal to have.
