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?

Just waiting for the web to become unbearably enshittified so I can finally be free.

Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

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.

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.

Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don’t pose the same danger.

Walking… if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It’s so cool and eco-friendly to say “just walk 20 minutes”.

Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)

More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)

OP linked to an image in the article rather than the article itself, lol

Here’s the article!

Hey OP, you can edit posts on Lemmy if you want to fix it!

That I have a tendency towards addiction with drugs. I’ve been high (marijuana) more often than not for the past decade, with spurts of alcoholism peppered in throughout my adult life. I also had a phase for about a year where I did shrooms once or twice a week.

I still struggle with my consumption, but at least now I’m aware that it can easily get to the point where it affects my life too much and can cut back when I’m starting to feel like I’m getting sucked in. I think I’ll always be an addict of some form or another, though.

I miss you <3

(Seriously you’re better off without them!)

Sriracha on pizza, you’re my kind of people.

I actually had somewhat of a dependency on sriracha at one point in my life. I was working at a summer camp, and the food being kinda bland I brought in a bottle of sriracha one day. Then a few others did the same. At the end of the summer, we were basically daring each other to douse our meals in unholy amounts of that rooster’s sauce.

It took me three weeks after the job ended to be able to taste anything that didn’t have sriracha on it.

Alcohol, I’d open a bar and then I’d have money to buy whatever drugs I want. Probably weed.

More like we forced sand to think. Sand didn’t want this.

I’m super cute, generally a mess, and emotionally unavailable.

I’m definitely my type.

I’m super against mandatory helmet laws, but I will say if you’re hitting speeds of 80km/h you probably should be wearing a helmet!

King of the Hill. I love the characters so much, especially the dynamic between Hank and Bobby.

I had to know the context for this so I looked it up, it’s from a marketing promo for the 1995 WWF WrestleMania arcade game. The whole video just screams 1990s.

You almost never hear someone tell a good joke about steaks. It really is a rare medium well done.

I knew a fortune teller, she was rather short but she told me a great joke about steak. Unfortunately, she went missing a while ago and no one knows where she is.

She’s just a small medium at large now.

If anyone wants an example of Québecois swearing, I recommend checking out Lorembarnak. It’s lorem ipsum but tabarnak-ified.

This is giving me !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org vibes
