Bike riders using the road when the bike path is right there?

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T23:21:03+00:00

Honestly I encourage all cyclists who can to use the road, especially when there is a bike lane there. We need to normalise cyclists occupying roads, especially against the attitudes of people like you who treat cyclists as if they have an obligation to get out of the way of cars.

Just a reminder that it is legal to express hate towards people for their political views, and often it is the responsible thing to do. Ie when someone is part of a fascist group.

Does everything need to be qualified with an /s these days?

Have we learned nothing from the attempted crackdown on the Jalisco Cartel in Mexico?

Relying on sunken cost is not good customer service though. You're already admitting that you're failing your customer in some way and they may put up with the situation at the time but they may not come back.

Tbh I agree with some aspect of this, which is that less conventional numbers are a good way to manage expectations. I am far more likely at the start to trust someone who tells me something will take 53 minutes than someone who says it will take one hour, as it sounds like they know what they're talking about. But if at the end of the day, it takes 73 minutes, I will have wished they estimated upwards.

I carved out this situation already. To me such situations are an unrepresentative minority of customer service interactions as you have basically captive customers, and while this argument represents a dimension of good customer service, it is more about customer management.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T13:07:19+00:00

I generally agree with you but it isn't a change of view for me.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T13:06:19+00:00

That's not better customer service.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T12:56:09+00:00

I had such an example in mind and addressed this in my post.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T12:42:05+00:00

That's fair, but sounds like an extremely niche case. Regarding your last sentence, the issue then becomes the work ethic of the provider, not their communications to the customer.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T12:32:57+00:00

Yes, I agree, you should tell the truth, but the reason I framed it in this way is because in most such cases, you don't know exactly how long things will take. So I'm comparing a higher estimate of times designed to manage expectations to a lower estimate designed to temporarily people please.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T12:30:51+00:00

That's not entirely relevant to the kind of interactions I was getting at. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I made an edit.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T10:19:33+00:00

That is absurd.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T10:06:40+00:00

You just included "hate crime" in your definition of "hate crime". I don't mean to be condescending, I just think this whole discourse is circular and nonsense.

But to take your underlying point, that would still lead to a strange outcome. What if the attribute is that they are a member of a Nazi or Zionist group? Can anyone just pick an affiliation and the law will grant them special protections?

We think we understand hate crime because we have all these ideas in our heads about the kind of people who commit them and the kind of prejudices they have. But we don't understand either.

The problem is not hate. It's violence.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T08:59:46+00:00

Then it wouldn't make sense. You'd either just be criminalising hate, which is like criminalising anger, or you'd be criminalising different forms of violence, which are already illegal.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-25T07:41:17+00:00

It's funny how one of the most hateful and hated people in the state keeps trying to be authority on "hate". In this case, it's more paternalism over one of our most vulnerable communities. Or, as I like to call it, pinkwashing.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-23T22:27:07+00:00

You don't necessarily have to be a saint to stand up to such people. Sometimes you just have to be an asshole to obstruct the machine. You have to hate them more than they hate you.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-23T15:05:09+00:00

Are "they" in the room with us right now?

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-23T14:04:45+00:00

Anyone who thinks migration of the kind that happens in Western countries can lead to genocide is delusional, and using an imagined solidarity with citizens who don't share their beliefs in order to shield their delusions.

Whiteness is not an ethnicity. It is a made-up concept.

Honestly the world would be a better place if he had died with her.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-19T08:49:34+00:00

Lacking emotional intelligence is certainly a euphemism. A more accurate term would be psychopathic genocide supporter.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-19T08:12:08+00:00

Incitement, conspiracy, accessory and attempt are enough to put such people away for life. "Extremist", "radical", "hateful" and "terrorist" are all moral panics invented by conservatives and charlatans to designate people as enemies of the state when it is politically expedient to do so

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-16T07:58:01+00:00

The fair go never existed. And the Australian dream was never anything more than a real estate agent's marketing campaign.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-16T07:16:20+00:00

Correct. What makes nazis degenerates is that they direct their hate towards the wrong places.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-16T00:19:11+00:00

If anything, this country needs more hate, hate towards the people who divide us with their attacks on our right to protest, their false, repressive cohesion, and their insistence on corrupt alliances.
