Oh, I see. Who is that?

Does that make it funny?

When it comes to sex doing what you like and not doing what you don’t like is all that matters.

That’s an extremely subjective statement.

You are asking as a mind alienated from its body. Your body has interests that are not your interests, and it uses suffering to bend you to advance its interests for it. We all exist in a state of conflict with our own biological inheritance.

Our bodies generate a mind to suffer on its behalf, because without awareness it isn’t really capable of suffering. That is the point of your existence as a mind. You exist to suffer on behalf of something that is not capable of suffering on its own, so that by your aversion to suffering, you will make choices that are in the interests of your body.

You have to decide whether to simply adopt the interests of your body, or whether to try to hold on to your own interests and make that the point of your life.

Also, “The experiences of non-human animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.”

what’s the humour supposed to be

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

Also you: “why do people bother to mention when information comes from ChatGPT”

Buddy, it’s nap time. Catch you in a couple hours when you’re feeling better.

FOSS is always available. R is always available. Your points remain but you’re never in a situation where Excel is the only thing you can use.

Questionably related.

It’s not a tu quoque when NK isn’t hurting anyone but themselves and the Americans are burning down the fucking planet. One is an urgent situation, the other is political theatre that most of us are unqualified to even analyze due to the embargoes, censorship and pervasive propaganda.

Being worried about rumors that:

they also execute/punish people(and their family members) for trying to leave the country for good or talk shit about their supreme leader

from a tiny, insignificant backwater nation when the so called leader of the free world is disappearing people from potentially every country on Earth, when the most powerful trading nation is intentionally destabilizing the global economy, well it reeks of looking for a distraction. The US government has as much to do with what is happening to NK people right now as the NK government does.

It’s situational surely, and I think an experienced cyclist knows when to take the sidewalk. But an experience cyclist also needs to know that sidewalks ARE NOT SAFE, they are just a less unsafe alternative when road conditions become intolerably unsafe, and they need to use even more caution than they normally do on the road when they take that option.

Right of way crossings are extremely dangerous, and riding on the sidewalk creates more such crossings that are even more dangerous than the ones encountered on the road, because drivers don’t have the visibility to anticipate the cyclist. Riding through right of way crossings where drivers expect pedestrians gets you killed.

If you are an American, eat what’s on your plate before you worry about NK.

We all see and hear what goes on over there.

Bullshit.

You’re scraping too hard.

Some [person] flipped me off just because I … flipped him off

Shocking, he didn’t kiss your ring??

Surely you can see that this is literally the worst possible thread to come and bitch about cyclists NOT FUCKING HURTING ANYONE.

If there is a AAAA title I need to play, I’ll pirate it, because fuck investors coming to this space and ruining it for everyone. However, this remains hypothetical since one has never come along that I’d rather play than the games I buy from actual human beings.

To address your question pragmatically, because the next best option most of the time is to be on the sidewalk, and cyclists die more often per km cycled on the sidewalk than on the road.
