A source for my lived experience? Or do you mean an example?
I have been banned from .ml twice for stating that Russia shot down a civilian airliner over Ukraine - a matter of incontrovertible fact which has absolutely nothing to do with any leftist theory, as far as my masters degree in political science can discern.
Tankies have literally adopted the same rhetoric as MAGA. It could not be more obvious that leftist spaces are absolutely infested with this.
It’s crazy how fast development moves when you don’t spend all day celebrating censoring your instance.
Asheville is basically anti NC. I agree that mountain hippies are great, but as you move east you go from fucked up tobacco shit, to Fuck Duke, to fucked up military industrial complex, to tourist hellscape. Charlotte is ok, but it’s like if you took a real city and made it optimized for 7’ tall pickup trucks.
Virginia is the last white collar state?
Crab cakes.
You were absolutely not “rolling along.” It was either mostly downhill or you were working pretty hard, as those are cat-3 race speeds. The vast majority of people can’t sustain those speeds, and most of those who can know how to behave and have the skills to actually ride at that level.
The entire problem with these e bikes is that anyone can got off the couch and ride far beyond their actual skill level.
Plenty of people ride bikes on these roads with no assist. You can definitely get a moped though. Nobody is stopping you from doing that. You just can’t also ride a moped on a bike path, and that’s for a good reason.
This is incredibly obvious to any person who isn’t trying to defend their decision to purchase an illegal moped disguised as an e bike.
Yeah we are cooked.
With the USSR it was kind of all at once. Or rather, they managed to hide it until the very end.
What is this dentist shit? Everyone knows the best insect repellent is to just kom harder. Can’t get bit if you never stop.

This is a bold lie that Nutomic keeps pushing. These donations go directly to Nutomic and Dessalines. The servers are not the problem. The problem is the admins who happen to be the devs.
Weird how if you are an asshole to your users it makes them into enemies.
I joined Lemmy with every intention to contribute and make a significant donation as well. But after getting banned and dogpiled for daring to say things like “Russia shot down a civilian airplane” and “the ML theory you are referencing does say what you claim it says,” I’m also here to say the fediverse will be better without cringe keyboard warriors like Dessalines and transphobes like Nutomic being involved with it. There are other projects to support.
And I have had my life saved in almost the exact same situation by a helmet. This conversation is stupid. Head injuries are still the most common serious injury involving a sole cyclist - that’s without cars, pedestrians, dogs or anything. Literally thousands of people every year hit their head just falling off bikes.
Even if you exclude injuries from automobiles, head injuries are far and away the most common serious injuries people get while cycling. This entire debate is idiotic. Wearing a helmet is such an easy thing to do and has basically zero downsides.
False, I am the only one speaking properly.
