Not really. Motorists kill pedestrians and pets and bicyclists whether those people and pets obey the rules or not.

Maybe focus should be on protecting society from thousands of pounds of metal before saving society from the horror of being flipped off.

Yeah, we should really talk more about pedestrians.

To be completely fair, bicyclists really aren’t the most killed non-motorists. That dubious award goes to pedestrians by a factor of six or so. Motorists should kill fewer pedestrians.

Telling people to just follow the rules is so incredibly short sighted. Obviously not everyone will, transportation infrastructure has to be designed from the ground up to encourage safer decisions. Cities that have embraced this philosophy have seen pedestrian deaths come way down.

Absolutely agreed. What sucks is that discussing such changes is viewed with hostility by a lot of motorists that complain it’s a handout to pedestrians and bicyclists. There are people who cannot view discussion of motorist-caused deaths as anything other than whining and an insult.

Point being this isn't about bicycles (despite people getting irrationally angry about them), it's about infrastructure and our prioritization of moving cars through our neighborhoods at a high rate of speed while not prioritizing safe infrastructure for any other users.

I used to know a cop who's first crime scene in the force was when an intoxicated driver ran off the road and into a guy's first floor bedroom. The Jeep stopped fully over the mattress. The victim was lucky as gently caress because his mattress was on the floor and he was sleeping such that he was safely between the tires under the Jeep when he woke up.

Isn't there a bike thread for you to continue this conversation with people who are interested in what you are writing? Why force the issue here? Are you under the impression that this is effective advocacy?

If so allow me to help by clarifying that it is not

What we all need to really be talking about are preventable deaths related to OTC medications. Any attempt to minimize or deflect from these discussions will be met with zealous accusations of complicity and "being too lazy to care"

I had to imdb him to remember he played Poe in the new star wars. This is also the first i'm hearing of a Metal Gear Solid movie. Any word on if they're going to try and play it straight, or are they just trying to kojima up a movie?

Edit: A metal gear movie could be cool, but I wonder if the critical tone the series takes towards the military industrial complex will be replaced with some sweet military twitch sponsorship crossover promotion.
