Let me get this straight: You walked into a bicycle path because you weren't aware of your surroundings. The bicycle stopped because the cyclist was aware of their surroundings.
Getting reamed out in public must have sucked, and was probably overkill. But this sounds like someone safely avoided an accident when you made a mistake.
I say this as a cyclist who uses my Big Girl voice on dedicated bike paths and someone who's accidentally walked onto a bike path.
When I first started cycling in a heavy bike-commuter city I got yelled at, a lot, because there isn't a lot of public education on safely navigating bike lanes. Embarassing, yeah, but I learned fast.
Yes, my comment about a Gumby orgy was a serious, reactionary statement about people walking in bike lanes. And somehow an argument for giving cyclists priority on all streets when cars are no more. And a disregard for poor infrastructure.
People should walk where it's safe to walk. Sometimes they don't, which is less safe. There should be safe places for people to walk.
I'm still gonna yell at people who walk in the damn bike lane.
Says fat people promote unhealthy lifestyles.

Damn. Lot of people really hate fat folks.
I'm just saying you want to prove fat people are unhealthy— a woman in a career that takes a high level of stamina and discipline isn't a great example.
Yeah no worries. Didn't mean to sound defensive. Making sure people know that pumping a coin isn't the same as a pump and dump, and yeah, anyone getting into crypto should definitely know about all the rug-pulls.
The one I got involved in, I knew the people and it looked like they were legitimately trying to develop a product. It was 50/50 pump scheme/real project, since they never did a rug pull. They were honest with themselves about most investors not giving a shit about their project, who were going to sell high anyway.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if something's going to be a pump-and-dump until they dump.
I say this as someone who's been involved in cryptocurrency, in some way, for almost a decade: Do not look at it as a source of income. That's my warning.
Most money I've made off crypto was by accepting it as a source of payment for freelance work, and selling when the price went up. I've made only one lucrative investment on a token and it's because the developer team was a friend of a friend, I only spent the money I could easily afford and pulled out early, once it tripled. Don't fall for FOMO, even if you could have made more money.
If you go forward, stick with media put out by the major, legitimate exchanges. They have a lot of information on how to get started.
Stay away from crypto-bro hype schemes, do not buy/trade anything from any project/company that isn't legitimate, with a strong social media presence and a community.
You can make good money off pump schemes if you're in their communities and keep a close watch on what they're doing.
Sign up for airdrops of new tokens and coins, shit you can get for free just by joining/signing up for something. A lot of times it's trash you'll never get rid of, sometimes it's free money.
I've been using metamask as a wallet for years, it's one of the most accessible platforms and has a lot of information and support on how to use it.
For the love of god do not look to NFTs as an investment.
Never, ever, spend money you can't afford to lose.
Quantifying history by how bloody the battles were is the most American thing I've heard in a while.
There were trade wars. The history of the Hudson's Bay Company and North West Trading is bloody as hell. They shaped the country. No one really knows how many people died in their skirmishes. They built forts that still stand today, and they're why a lot of towns/areas are called Fort(name.)
Louis Riel is a fascinating figure, like a tricksy, bloody, charming asshole who literally beheaded a diplomatic envoy. He, himself, was beheaded. The whole history of the Metis people is fascinating.
The Acadians and their connection to the Cajuns (a condensed slang of Acadian. Cadian. Cajian..) is pretty neat. It's a whole other French culture most Canadians don't even know about.
Not to mention all the whitewashed history of indigenous peoples, their histories and cultures. Indigenous leader's push for justice reform, based on their cultures and needs, is changing the way the justice system works in Canada, and influencing the world.
Sustain us with your cheese.
