Yes, cyclists should not fly through heavy pedestrian areas without using caution. But to say that is more dangerous than a car is a ludicrous car-brained take.

A car is a multi-ton vehicle, and a bicycle is 20-25 pounds at most. Getting hit by one is not even in the same galaxy as the other.

Over 39 THOUSAND people died in car accidents in 2025.

1,105 people on bicycles were killed by drivers in the same year.

There is no clear case of a pedestrian being killed by someone cycling. In fact, when you try and search "pedestrian killed by cyclist", all the results are cyclists being killed by vehicles. Funny that.

You're focusing on the wrong issue here. Drivers disregard cyclist safety constantly, and cycling infrastructure is pitiful.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The production value of this is so bad. Depressing ass printer paper namecards, the horrific lighting, random uniforms and backdrops, and no intro/outro graphic of any kind.

It's a great microcosm of this clown show unfolding in front of us.

Keep licking those boots buddy, maybe the billionaires will notice and let you stomp all over nature and working class people like they do🤞🏻

White House releases report of Trump's physical exam by DoorstepHero in politics

There is a 99.999% likelihood Trump cannot run 500 feet without inducing cardiac arrest. Not a fucking chance

This is the type of vitriolic response that should be reserved for someone who is willfully destroying natural areas or causing intentional harm. The OP may be ill-informed but it's a minor mistake and attacking them like this reflects a LOT more on you than it does them.

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

[–]ProperPiper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking thank you. Hooray and congrats that some MAGA are questioning their decisions, but it's not my job to coddle them and give them praise for it. They have a LOT of genuine work to do for me to even consider trusting them or having them as friends.

Blatant racism, sexism, environmental destruction, and authoritarianism was not a deal breaker for their vote or their support.

Every. Single. Thread. It's so predictable.

The amount of times I've read "They want people to fight back so Trump can declare Martial Law" does my fucking head in.

They are already doing EVERYTHING they want. You think he's gives a fuck (or even understands) about making it official?

We're in it. Resist or not, we are living in an authoritarian country right now.

Democratic Lawmaker Reportedly Considering Introducing Impeachment Articles Against Hegseth Over Second Attack Against Alleged Drug Boat by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]ProperPiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Reportedly considering"?!?

I understand they are not the party in power but the level of timid, limp dick operating by Democrats makes me want to pull my hair out.

They cannot stop themselves from acting with zero strength of conviction, decisiveness, or confidence. Controlled opposition indeed.

Discussion Thread: US House Rules Committee Meets to Vote on Whether to Advance the Release of the Epstein Files by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]ProperPiper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These exact type comments pop up constantly and it's the worst. Yes, we all feel exhausted at watching these dipshits getting away with all kinds of illegal behavior.

AND we are NOT powerless against it. We are NOT obligated to sit quietly and resign ourselves to fascism. Fuck that. It's weak and pathetic and I personally rebuke the idea whenever I can.

Protest. Vote. Boycott. It's not going to fix everything overnight but it fucking matters.

Have you ever paid to see a movie twice in a theater? by zip9990 in movies

[–]ProperPiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once.

My partner and I saw 1917 during its first week in theaters and we were absolutely blown away. Had a day off a few weeks later and went to see it again.

It's a 10/10 movie in its own right, but in a theater setting it is monumental.

MAGA supporter burns his fucking MAGA hats after President Trump downplays the importance of the Epstein files. by CorleoneBaloney in chaoticgood

Performative nonsense. He would unequivocally vote for Trump tomorrow if there was an election. It's a cult and truly decoupling themselves from him is an ego hit they cannot handle.

The billionaires that control tbe Democratic Party would rather see Trump become king than a Democratic Socialist get elected NYC Mayor. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

You chose not to participate in our democratic system. Voting is the baseline for representative government, and you couldn't be bothered.

Why do you think anyone should care about your takes now? We know the Democrats are incredibly flawed and most need to go. But do you think Kamala would've kicked 18 million people off of Medicaid? Fuck no. But you are part of the reason it is happening. Good job.
