  • Ok, but you’ve done nothing to refute my statement or provide any additional information that’s remotely useful. Just slinging ineffective insults that fall pretty flat if I’m honest.

    In terms of ableism, I guess that’s true to a degree. I definitely consider people of significantly lower intellect to be below me, but that’s not to say I don’t still treat them kindly and with respect until they’ve proven they don’t deserve it.

    The same people who tell me retarded is a bad word now will still casually drop moron or idiot and they’re synonyms. People decided retarded was a bad word because it’s the one we were using, but now those same people use a synonym and tell me a word is off limits. All they’ve done is give the word even more weight.












  • Here in America we have big cars and tiny rail networks. We should have tiny cars and big rail networks.

    My fellow Americans, being pedal to the floor in a lightweight five speed shitbox is infinitely more fun than restraining yourself constantly in a giant top heavy rollover machine. You feel like you’re doing 120mph but you’re going 120kph, it’s glorious. Taking the train is fucking great! I get to play video games and not stress about traffic, if I go to a happy hour and drink too much I’ve already got a DD!







  • Yup, I’m a train/e scooter commuter and I have added reflective and lights to all my gear because I care about my personal safety. While the cars should see me and should be traveling at a safe speed (especially when visibility is low), I don’t expect them to because they’re fucking car brains. It’s self awareness and preservation, I know the cars are mostly looking for other cars because they’re more common and a larger threat to the driver. I can help them not fuck me up by clipping a couple cheap lights and reflective stickers. Honestly even with that I’ve almost been struck, so I recently installed an electric horn to my scooter and I’m constantly hooting at dumbass Uber drivers more focused on their phone than the road (I also find the disproportionately loud horn from the scooter quite funny).
