13 downvotes, zero replies. Interesting.

I do not care. I’ve seen and felt personally the effects of Pornography, and I will never back down against it.

To be clear, I do not believe the government should be allowed to censor media, or that the whatever American political party is behind a law.

All I know is that as long as children have access to pornography, I will fight to my dying breath against it.

Why? Simple. I do not want another human being to experience what I have.

So, downvote me all you like.

I wish everyone a pleasant day.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My setup (it has been destroyed by Gabe)

As someone who has struggled with addiction to lust and pornography from a very young age, I’m disappointed by some of the reactions I’m seeing here.

Really? I didn’t know that! Where I’m from it’s different. That’s good to know, thank you! Have a lovely day, and stay safe out there.

I don’t follow, sorry.

I can understand that. I know that the laws (and road conditions) differ from place to place. Where I’m from, sidewalk riding is restricted to younger people, and so as a cycling instructor, I cannot advise my students to ride on the sidewalk, as it would be dangerous to pedestrians.

Thanks for your perspective, though! I hope you have a lovely day and most importantly, stay safe out there!

As a cycling instructor, I’ve been honked at, verbally harassed, and flipped off more times than I can count. The reason I know the anti-bicycle talking points is because my job is to discourage people from becoming like that.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear in my comment! Have a lovely day and thank you! Your response made me laugh.

That’s why you have to practice signalling so that you can maintain control over the bike while signalling. It’s tricky, though, especially for less experienced cyclists. Have a lovely day and thanks for the insight!

Regardless, the law states that a vehicle must stop at a stop sign. Bikes are considered vehicles, and thus must come to a complete stop.

I’m a cycling instructor. I teach people how to cycle safely and in accordance with laws.

Have a lovely day, thanks for your input. I’m happy someone was ready to discuss with me!

The invisible hand giveth and the invisible hand taken away

This is like watching a nature documentary

I maintain that Cars 3 is a better sequel to Cars, but Cars 2 is such a good movie.

Who doesn’t like bicycles? I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road, and bike lanes are sometimes more of a safety hazard.

Bikers get a lot of hate because a lot of them act like pedestrians. (i.e. riding on sidewalks, crosswalks, not stopping at stop signs, not signalling turns or shoulder-checking) But then if you do all of that dumb law-abiding stuff like some kind of responsible citizen, people in cars honk at you, give you their right of way, or worse!

Finally, an actual joke. I thought we were on an internet-argument-cesspool sub.

I’m inclined to agree. People experiencing gender dysphoria deserve our love and respect, in the same way a person with low self-esteem or anxiety or an eating disorder deserves our love, support and respect.

For example, anorexia is an eating disorder where an individual has a hypersensitivity to the perception of their body, specifically its size weight. Weight bias is another topic for another time, but suffice to say that society has people convinced that they have much more control over their weight than they actually do. People naturally come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and that’s a good thing! Regardless, some individuals who struggle with anorexia believe that they are “too fat” and will try to limit their food intake in order to lose weight, often to an unhealthy degree.

I’m hoping that the next big social movement is a body acceptance and appreciation kind. The human body is an amazing thing. I hope we can learn how to better help people who experience gender dysphoria in the future and empower individuals struggling with their relationship with their body.
