I used to be pretty active in my city and province's subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.
I went and checked my city's subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I've left Reddit two years ago. It's all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.
Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it's completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.
You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread's topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don't even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?
Sure, if you zone in on the prefix, it definitely means two, but the word bisexual itself has been used to denote "attraction to more than one gender" for ages.
Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don't assume that there are only two genders.
–Excerpt from the first edition of Anything That Moves, a bisexual magazine, initially published in 1991
In a symbolic act, activist Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon. Hoffman claimed he would employ the use of psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it turned orange and begin to vibrate, at which time the war in Vietnam would end. The event was accompanied by Allen Ginsberg leading Tibetan chants to assist Hoffman. While levitation did not occur, the act served as a powerful symbol of the protesters' opposition to the Vietnam War.
Gone into the wilderness to escape from the woes of modern capitalistic society, yet unable to escape the coping mechanisms used to survive the rat race. Trapped inside the addiction, a smoke and a coffee to wake up, a toke and a drink to pass out, in an endless cycle, just to blur the daily toil into a barely-tolerable disassociative carousel. Even the moments of leisure have become a task to accomplish; have your pittance of a vacation, stressing about how tightly scheduled you are, stressing about how much everything costs, stressing about the mounting responsibilities pilling up awaiting your arrival.
I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn't use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using "gay" in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.
I wasn't talking about people on group rides, I'm talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.
Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it's honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.
You should know that it doesn't take "motor vehicle speeds" to cause a (serious) accident.
That's not what I said. I was pointing out how your "swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light" is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.
The "being part of traffic" part is fair. Even as an avid cyclist, I recognize how nice pedestrian-only areas can be. The park in the video wouldn't be improved by middle-aged-men-in-lycra chasing Strava scores (like I see too often on my city's riverside trail).
However, the painted bicycle lanes next to heavy traffic are a travesty, and Seoul could definitely do better.
Cyclists on the whole break traffic laws a lot less than motorists.
Also, I love how your only example of "the dangers of cyclists" involves someone in a car having to react to a cyclist. If everyone is cycling, speeds are low enough to react and typically avoid collisions even if a potential conflict arises. The "forces someone to swerve" phenomenon mostly happens at the speed of motor vehicles.
