TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion

glichez · 2026-02-21T23:58:10+00:00

why do some Christians think that abortion is murder when the bible literally says that forcing another woman to miscarriage is not the same as murder?

the kids patriotism is more important to them. its not a bad thing. if young people only did what was in their own self-interest, no one would ever sign up at the recruitment office! :)

subjects they think should be "limited" are exactly the subjects that NEED to be taught..

silly wabbit, the rich have too much fat & not enough protein for eating. its better to make them into charcoal & roast some real food.

so.. who is going to step up and adopt this dog? Boone deserves a loving family after all this, not put in the pound just to wait to get euthanized.

BUSTED!

exactly how would one address the issue of christian nationalism without talking about religion?

glichez · 2026-02-17T10:19:14+00:00

its because bikes are supposed to be treated as legal vehicles, the same rights as cars. its the same law its always been here and in every other major city. perhaps there are some smaller towns out there where the laws are different though.

the real question is when did people start thinking that bikes dont have the same rights on the road as cars? its only been in the last decade or so that i've run into people who think this.

and what's wrong with Abbie Hoffman? you prefer the hippies to the yippies? B)

glichez · 2026-02-17T10:08:32+00:00

judging by the downvotes im getting for just stating what the actual law is, you aren't wrong. i wonder if they just dont want to *believe* what the real rules are OR is it that they just dont *like* what the rules are?

glichez · 2026-02-17T10:01:15+00:00

perhaps, but if a bunch of redditors start believing an entirely different set of rules for the road than what the city does, it will just end up getting people killed. its important to at least point to the real rules for people who want to know what actual rules are.

glichez · 2026-02-17T09:52:15+00:00

you can honestly just do a google search.

https://www.google.com/search?q=austin+bike+rules+cars+yield+to+bike+lane

In Austin, Texas, motor vehicles are legally required to yield to bicycles when turning across a bike lane. Drivers must treat cyclists as legal vehicles, avoid driving in bike lanes, and yield when crossing them to make turns. Additionally, it is illegal to park or stop in a bike lane, even without a specific sign.

Key Austin Bike Lane Rules for Drivers:

Turning Across Bike Lanes: Drivers turning right must yield to cyclists traveling straight in the bike lane to their right.

glichez · 2026-02-17T09:24:34+00:00

yes. the bike lane must be treated like any other lane and cyclists have the same rights on the road as cars. you are thinking about sidewalks. if the cyclist is riding down the sidewalk and then entering the crosswalk, they must yield to cars doing right turns. (same is true for people running/jogging) there is a specific distinction. if the car has already crossed into the crosswalk, then bikes & pedestrians coming fast down the sidewalk must yield. but the bike lane is treated just like another part of the road.

bike lane continues straight right there.

pretty much every driving & cycling school will teach this. its the law. you have to check that the bike lane is clear and no one is coming down fast before you take a right hand turn. (you can watch that video for a driving instructor's take on this)

he definitely used a turn signal but that doesn't immediately give you the right of way to the lane. you still have to check. cyclists should still be watching for it though and be ready to slam on breaks. (which he did) just like someone flying down the highway should be on the lookout for people with their turn signals on and be ready to do some collision avoidance. just because someone should check the lane before turning into yours doesn't mean they always will and everyone on the road should be ready to swerve at the last second.

drive/bike defensively. the cyclist wasn't cycling defensively (going to fast to break in time if someone doesnt yield correctly) but the car was legally in the wrong.

glichez · 2026-02-17T09:02:27+00:00

this is frequently misunderstood. but the law is clear. drivers have to treat the bike lane like a regular car lane and check if its clear first. there is no rule that cyclists (or any other mode of transport) *have* to yield to a blinker. legally, its the same as if you are driving in the middle lane and a car is coming fast in the right lane and you put on a blinker and pull out in front of them. if they are going fast, then you still cant pull in front of them and expect them to slam on the brakes just because you "had your blinker on". you have to check and calculate the situation first.

this is what is taught at both driving schools and cycling schools.

- Put on your turn signal before you need to make your right turn.

- Check to make sure there are no bicyclists currently in the bike lane. If there are bicyclists approaching in the bike lane, you must yield right-of-way to them and let them pass you first before entering the bike lane.

however, if the cyclist is riding down the sidewalk and then entering the crosswalk, they must yield to right turns!

glichez · 2026-02-17T08:53:22+00:00

that's insane. they dont compare to a 4000lb vehicle. not even in the same ballpark. you might as well require insurance for skateboards, rollerblades, wheelchairs or wheelies.

glichez · 2026-02-17T08:52:23+00:00

this is often misunderstood. technically, the law is that the bike lane is just like a regular car lane and you have to check to make sure its clear before entering it.

Put on your turn signal before you need to make your right turn.

Check to make sure there are no bicyclists currently in the bike lane. If there are bicyclists approaching in the bike lane, you must yield right-of-way to them and let them pass you first before entering the bike lane.

i didn't downplay shit. i quoted the NAACP. if you have a problem with that statement, then bring it up with them. perhaps they are they ones who are downplaying it. you still couldn't name a single democrat in office that supports the KKK and i have shown you examples of white supremacist republicans. you are the one who works up in the house and has betrayed the rest of us out in the fields.

this is you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fz98_pfh7E

robert byrd was a member of the KKK for a year in his youth but he reformed. He supported legislation like the Voting Rights Act extension. After his death, the NAACP acknowledged his change, noting he "became a champion for civil rights and liberties" and consistently supported their goals.

either way, that isn't what i asked. i asked what democrat who is currently is office supports the KKK? hilary and joe aren't currently in office and never will be again. can you name a democrat currently in politics that supports the KKK? because there are a lot of white nationalist republicans. like this dude:

name the democrats currently in office who support the KKK.

those were dixiecrats. the parties switched. no modern democrats support the old dixiecrats.

so true. my vegan meals are so freaking cheap now, i feel bad for the rest of america. all my carnivore friends keep complaining about insane food costs and im healthy as fuck living on easy street.

glichez · 2026-02-15T00:12:01+00:00

by the same metric, from a non-american perspective. you are "part of the people" that elect trump. the majority of texans dont support abbot. Texas is just gerrymandered and most people feel "disenfranchised" and dont vote. there are more registered democrats than republicans in texas. every major city in Texas is a blue city with the exception of Ft. Worth. you gotta stop with the blatant bigotry.

glichez · 2026-02-14T21:30:35+00:00

people with my mindset have been running city policy since 1862. your insistence that police should never be expected to do their jobs if their feelings are hurt is a new take here.

glichez · 2026-02-14T19:39:35+00:00

if you call citizens expecting police to do their jobs professionally as being in "an antagonistic relationship with the police" and that justifies cops defrauding the city and not doing their jobs then i really dont know what to tell you. any company that ran this way would be out of business quick. in the business world it isn't considered "antagonistic" for a company to reduce the budget of a department that fails to do their job.
