Those electric rental scooters recently showed up in Halifax and I see people in traffic with them. I'm amazed nobody has died yet especially considering most of the people renting them are dumb kids from one of the universities getting day drunk before scooting along the bus routes.

vuk83 posted:Helmet protect your head if you fall, it doesn't protect you in a motor vehicle accident. You can fall for a lot of reasons on a bike, sudden braking, patch of ice etc. Wear a helmet. if you’re travelling at extreme high speed then sure, i can see that making it appreciably more dangerous. but i don’t think slipping on ice while going a leisurely or even somewhat brisk pace on a bike is that much more dangerous than slipping while you’re on foot

I'm amazed nobody has died yet especially considering most of the people renting them are dumb kids from one of the universities getting day drunk before scooting along the bus routes. I work at a university health center. Our concussion rate shot up after those things appeared on campus. Covid seems to have reset things a bit - students are a lot less interested in the scooters than they were when they first showed up. We had one student who nearly died from a skull fracture, and suffered permanent cognitive impairments. Alcohol was involved. If you're a student and like to use one of those things, just get a lightweight helmet and strap it to your backpack. Many of the companies will even send you one for free (except for shipping and handling). ETA: You're higher off the ground on a bike, and much more likely to go down head first. You're at higher risk for head trauma with a bike fall, broken wrists with a standing fall. Also, a leisurely pace on a bike is still a lot faster than a leisurely pace on foot. Wear a loving helmet.

Listen. Nearly everybody has either ridden a bike or driven a car or both. And we all know people who have, too. Everybody has bike traffic stories. Nobody wants to loving hear them, though. Shut the gently caress up about bikes. Please. Every loving thread that somebody mentions a bike, everybody thinks their bike story is so important and prescient that they'll post DAYS LATER about it. Let me help you. Nobody loving cares. Don't tell us your personal great amazing bike story. You're ruining threads.

AITA for being upset that my fiancé got me the ring I wanted?quote:Not sure how to start this, so I guess I’ll jump into it. My fiancé has been asking me what I want for my engagement ring for close to a year. I’ve sent him reference photos at his request. He’s asked me explicitly what carat I want and what carat my family would find acceptable(don’t ask - they are a bit materialistic and overbearing, one of the reasons I moved away from them).

All of that being said: Wear the helmet. Goons twisting themselves into knots trying to justify not wearing their helmet, and it's loving shameful. Wear the loving helmet. I don't give a rats rear end how good the infrastructure in your city is- and again, as has been mentioned repeatedly, this does not make falls any less potentially deadly or concrete any softer. Wear the god-bedamned helmet or at least have the balls to admit you just don't want to, instead of trying to hide behind ~infrastructure~ as a lovely reason.

He needed her to react poorly to material things for this, that's usually not a positive development Because she was supposed to act like the stereotype fee-male and throw a tantrum about not getting the perfect expensive ring before he pulled out the real one and demonstrated ha ha how shallow women are but never mind darling I love you anyway and see I made your tiny acquisitive brain happy! Except she ruined his chance at TikTok likes by being delighted by the fake emotional history of the ring and perfectly genuine in what she'd said about the proposal being the important part. So he had to hold on the actual ring and try and figure out what the hell to do with it, and his solution was to try yet another prank that failed because he doesn't have a single clue about how actual human beings react to poo poo.

Electric Wrigglies posted:I also personally feel car drivers would be a lot better if they had to do; say, five hours a year of road network motorbike/scooter riding to keep a car license. The sense of road awareness you get from riding a bike versus driving a car is huge. Drivers should have to take regular assessments to keep their licenses in general, but I agree. Drivers need to understand how it feels to not be in the relative safety of a big metal cage. The reverse is true too. Cyclists and pedestrians need to understand the limitations of situational awareness inside a car. Pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers should all have their own dedicated networks that never intersect. You should need a separate license to use a shared roadway that demonstrates competence in walking, cycling, and driving. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Conservative women crave the fantasy dichotomy of a man who is aggressive to outsiders but gentle and caring to his own family. Shockingly, what you find most of the time is that folks with unchecked aggression spilling out all sides generally aren't good at directing it in healthy manners and treat everyone around them like trash. You know, good ol' traditional toxic masculinity. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jun 6, 2022 |

That's the craziest thing about them, they espouse all these ideas of freedom and independence and self-sufficiency but they also come with de facto servitude baked in to gender roles and are surprised when that sucks major rear end for the one not in top. No matter how you dress it up, a life of bending down to some dude's say-so blows.
