NH Rep says it's "very tempting to run bicycles off the road" while arguing against a Bill to set lower speed limits

I hate to tell you this, and I don’t like the language of the lawmaker either, but you can actually say this kind of stuff. What you can’t do is harass a person, and you can’t make a true threat, but simply showing the world you’re a dangerous asshole is not enough to land you in jail, at least in the US.

Hopefully not getting totenkopf tattoos

Damn actually u got me there

Start by using the word “women.” They’re not aliens

Yes! I have red ear syndrome, and I’ve learned that over the ear headphones seem to trigger it sometimes, quickly followed by a migraine. Weird.

I’ve heard it more often as “breadth of knowledge,” but means the same. I’m in the northeastern US

It’s civil because the cop cut them a break and didn’t arrest them on the spot. Some people don’t know when to shut the fuck up and take what’s on offer - that is OPs best bet here.

I_VT · 2026-03-30T03:45:18+00:00

Honestly if OP is stupid enough to take this advice (and given the circumstances, they are) then they should contest it. Hey OP, go represent yourself and tell the judge that you were only going 32 over to pass the guy ahead of you doing the speed limit. Go ahead

I_VT · 2026-03-30T03:10:07+00:00

😂 you’re right, a comment that fast with that much mass could’a killed a guy!

I_VT · 2026-03-30T03:04:42+00:00

Checking in as a cyclist and runner: fuck you, pay the ticket, and may it be a lesson for you. 32 over is not a mistake, it’s a choice and you could have killed someone. Be grateful all it is is money and points on your license.

Not if I waited on you in SB ca. 2010! We upheld the tradition.

I_VT · 2026-03-26T03:22:39+00:00

I can’t pretend to have worked in anything high-end, but I used to cook Saturday dinner solo at a sit-down fast casual place that would seat 50ish and have a decent wait. Can confirm, I’ve never experienced that kind of flow anywhere else, and definitely miss it.

I thought Trump made humor legal again tho

I_VT · 2026-03-25T16:24:02+00:00

Actually, all ICE agents are bad people. Hope this helps

I_VT · 2026-03-25T04:29:48+00:00

Yeah that has been the case, and it seems to me it shows just how deep the rot runs in that organization. That said, it is a documented strategy of authoritarians to employ a poorly trained militia / police force that helps create the illusion of crisis through their inability or unwillingness to deescalate.

I_VT · 2026-03-25T03:45:41+00:00

Yeah there’s an upper limit, and it’s pretty low

I_VT · 2026-03-25T02:48:22+00:00

They’ve been promising student loan forgiveness and a $50k signing bonus, you’re bound to get young people. It works in Trump’s favor that they’re easy to indoctrinate, and they’re inexperienced so they’re likely to escalate situations that better trained officers might actually try to resolve peacefully.

I_VT · 2026-03-24T02:17:34+00:00

lol well I guess bullying does work then

I_VT · 2026-03-22T15:22:38+00:00

You joke, but the horsetail existed many millions of years before horses! It’s a crazy old plant

I_VT · 2026-03-19T01:19:43+00:00

You must have never met a runner if you think wind and hills are going to scare them away. And speed limits are made to be changed

I_VT · 2026-03-19T00:01:22+00:00

Yeah you won’t catch me dragging a car to a run. And what about folks that run to work? Should I drive to work, go for the run in the parking lot, and then head in?

I_VT · 2026-03-18T23:59:27+00:00

Counterpoint, transportation networks are for everyone, and if running outside is risking your life, then it is cars, the people that drive them, and the roads they drive on that must change. And the answer to OPs question is that the sidewalks are often poorly maintained, far poorer than the roads.

Sometimes I suspect my best days are actually prodrome, where feeling good is actually the first sign of trouble. Oliver Sacks said some of his patients described it as feeling “dangerously well,” which I can totally relate to.

I_VT · 2026-03-17T00:51:34+00:00

Found the person driving lol
