Don’t feed the trolls.

They don’t care about the topic, they don’t care about the facts or a logical debate. They only care about getting a reaction out of you. Don’t give them what they want.

You know, I feel like lately every other article in that paper is an advertisement for Quarks

Reminds me of the Why Are You Closed?!? guy

Hahah no, there’s nobody driving the bus

Thank you! I noticed the usual feelings of dread creeping in already

No need for the \s. That is literally how they did this “study”. I’d be interested to see who it was that paid for this bullshit, wouldn’t be surprised to see the money trail leading back to commercial real estate.

The article boasts the headline front and center % productivity loss, as though this was some years long extensive study. The section of the report discussing these results is less than two paragraphs long. I’ve seen high school students put together a more detailed a well researched study.

What bothers me the most is that people will readily reference this article and spread this bullshit everywhere, with basically no one having read the study or put any critical thinking into this at all.

I don’t know if it’s increased since covid but people seem to have shifted from anti cycle to outright openly hostile towards cyclists, at least where I live. I can’t count the number of incidents I’ve had this year alone where I’ve had to swerve to avoid someone angrily forcing their way into a bicycle lane, running lights or going out of turn in a four way stop, or just intentionally grazing me because fuck bicycles apparently

A few have mentioned Hereditary already so I’ll give an honorable mention to Dark Skies with Keri Russel.

Yeah, they sent me an email basically saying “we’re sorry” with no offer for free credit monitoring or anything.

Thanks so much for sharing that web comic, I loved it!

I’m imagining their lawyer pulling out their wallet at the hearing and thumbing through their singles to pay the fine.

$5k is absolutely nothing for a typical law firm, lunch money

I was using this arrow more when I was driving different vehicles for work. We have two vehicles and each has the tank on the opposite side, so I had just trained myself to use the arrow now. Just something I had gotten used to doing I guess

For years I had recurring dreams where I was lost wandering an endlessly large building - usually office buildings with hundreds of hallways and stairwells that led to more endless hallways. Haven’t had them as often the last few years but they always left me feeling down the next day.
