  • The one country that is escalating things is Russia. They could have always moved back and have given up and this would all be over.

    Are you fucking serious

    What do you call expanding NATO? You think that isn’t escalation because, what, “it’s a defensive pact”? You really don’t see how a country like Russia could view an encirclement of “defensive” pacts as aggressive, when it has constantly stated that Ukraine joining NATO is a red line?

    You don’t think NATO discussing sending NUKES TO UKRAINE, putting them within MINUTES OF MOSCOW, is in any way an escalation?

    What the FUCK is wrong with you fucking people

    NATO could have simply not attempted to expand, Ukraine could have simply honored the Minsk agreement and stopped genociding Russians in the Donbas, but you don’t say shit like that, you think it’s entirely on Russia. Brainwashed ass motherfucker














  • if you’re in a bike lane and it’s road to your right and sidewalk to your left (i.e. literally what is pictured in this article) idk where the parked cars are coming in, and there’s a dumpster in front of you so idk I just know what choice I’d make. I’m never biking in traffic if I can avoid it and the sidewalk bike cops can eat me

    Also victim blaming bikers for trying to keep themselves and others safe while dying to oblivious drivers might be the most braindead take I’m going to see this week

    if you wanna be mad about it be my guest but it’s not really victim blaming bicyclists to say “hey why don’t people just do this thing that’s safer for everyone involved than treating a bike like it’s a car when that repeatedly, continuously kills people because drivers are a danger even to other drivers”

    I just think it’s absurd that it makes more sense to some people to go bicycle = car than to treat them more like pedestrians and encourage sidewalk travel, but then pedestrians get just as mad at the idea as bicyclists do about bike lane infringement


  • Outside of “i shouldn’t have to/ it’s the LAW” why not just like slow down and go around on the sidewalk

    I don’t understand the "bicycles are vehicles " thing people have especially when it leads to shit like this almost constantly. People are assholes and can’t drive, it seems like the obviously solution is to absolutely never share space with them when it can be avoided. But people seem to think riding a bike on a sidewalk is just as bad as driving a cybertruck through a bike lane so idk. People seem to really be on some shit with this. I used to ride my bike on the sidewalk 100% of the time for years at college and there was never any issue, you don’t have to go 25mph around pedestrians. If riding on the sidewalk were seen as an acceptable solution then this person might still be alive (since whether or not this dumpster had a permit is meaningless, the same thing would have still happened either way)
