My problem with the typical cyclist is that after years of argument and legislation, we now have laws regarding their responsibilities on the road.  AND NONE OF THEM FOLLOW THE LAWS.  Okay, that is definitely an exaggeration, but I cannot tell you how many times I have seen cyclists fail to follow simple rules like 'Ride single file unless passing.', or 'Stay in the bicycle lane.'

Everyone thinks they are the exception.

I don't!

Which, I guess, means I think I'm the exception to that. Dangit!

Sad: Currently doing a piece of freelance work.

Wait, hold up, why is that sad? That's money and experience that can go on a resume! I'm sad because I'm undercutting my competition's prices to the point that it's damn near not worth my time, and I still feel bad about charging as much as I am.

I'm a good salesman and a horrible businessman.

The first time a cyclist shoots out of the side street or sidewalk so close in front of your car, at night, with no lights that even with slamming on the brakes they nearly clip your mirror as they whip past you, you go home and change your pants. The thirty-fifth time, you start shopping for dashcams and writing angry letters to your congresscritter to demand a ban on the infernal machines.

People walking opposite to traffic on the bike lane, with earpods on, looking down at their phone, every freaking day. I say we write to our congresspeople to ban pedestrians.

I propose we just ban transportation. Everyone can just chill and be hermits like me.

[Furtuka]

Augh now I have a dilemma. PSN is allowing sub accounts to upgrade to Master Accounts. But I already made a new account and spent 20$ on it to get God Eater Burst again and if I change accounts on my vita I'll lose my P4G save files. On the other hand all my old games and DLC on my old account, but it uses the sucky email address that I don't use.

On the bike lanes topic: Didn't... Skyrunner was it, post an image of a fantastic bikelane on the footpath with trees planted right through the centre of it?

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah, but good luck finding something like that anywhere that isn't a bicycle-ridden hellhole.

[Yoink]

I hate cars. Why the fuck are we still using those?
But, cyclists do make my day worse, since not only do I have to dodge the dickheads in cars who the entire city is designed around, now I have these pricks on bikes invading the small area I actually have to safely walk in.
If civilian cars weren't a thing, I'd be fine with bicycles. Alas.


Major sad: No more Rage thread.

[Sirus]

Oy. Cars are awesome. It would take over two hours for me to walk to work and even longer to walk home, and I have it easy. At least I live in the same city that my truck is parked, unlike any number of people :l

[Darvi]

Teleporters when?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Cars are great! I just don't ever want to drive one.

[Yoink]

Cars (civilian ones) are terrible, and unnecessary. The only reason they seem so important is, well, people are used to relying on them.
It makes me sad.

[MaximumZero]

Cars are actually pretty necessary here. Nothing is within walking distance, and even if it were, the snow is deep enough that walking distance is dramatically shortened.

[Bohandas]

Yeah. I have things I need to carry to places that the subways don't go
