My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
As long as the cyclists form a mass, they’re considered one long vehicle and can even pass red lights that way, as long as the first person did so with a green light.
That’s awesome. I love that.
But that’s not the situation here, so already what you consider tolerable behavior and valid protest is law breaking in the context of the video. Surely you can see that reasonable people can also disagree on whether crossing the centre line is valid protest.
emacs has been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I use emacs I think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It’s such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else.
Organize “pox parties” on Facebook; don’t attend.
Nobody thinks this proves anything. If you think that is what is happening, tend to your own brain rot.
This is evidence supporting an argument, not evidence proving an argument. Feel free to provide contrary evidence.
Those cyclists? Many are drivers. This is a community event that builds solidarity and changes driver attitudes by mobilizing them against the vehicular violence we are all currently subject to. A critical mass ride has hundreds or even thousands of participants. It changes the way THEY think about cars, bikes, traffic, and public safety.
We’re not talking about being dead vs being broke. We’re talking about being MAYBE dead vs being homeless, hungry, and unable to clothe your children.
When it’s bad, it’s life changing in a traumatic way.
What a spectacular photo.
It’s functionally identical. The lane is occupied. Motorists cannot enter it, whether the cyclists are facing them or not.
If you don’t change driver attitudes, fighting the government is pointless. We’re getting bike lanes TORN OUT right now, because it’s popular politics.
They do not “always” have right of way. You don’t have right of way over a train, for example. Or against a signal. Or when a car has limited visibility. Lots of cases.
It’s easier to just get new friends.
was that so hard?
close; it proves it DID happen, which necesarily implies it DOES happen. You are right to object that a single genuine datapoint (or as you like to spin it, “anecdote”) cannot say anything about frequency, but I really have to steelman what you are saying to get there.
