Our goal is to peacefully encourage more people to cycle and convince car owners to use their car for less trips when viable to do so. A lot of people own cars, would calling them Nazis really help our cause?

My vision is we make cyclists and public transit users look like responsible happy citizens and attract jealousy of those stuck in traffic.

Too wholesome

By putting bicycle at the start of the news article, it makes the topic about bike riders instead of the topic being about bad driving.

See the impression titles give, just by the ordering of the words:

“Bicycle riders hit by car” - cycling is dangerous and don’t belong on the road

“Car hits bicycle riders” - how sad, poor cyclists, irresponsible driver

Who uses a mouse? I function all applications with just a keyboard, my custom arch based distribution doesn’t even support mice because I removed all drivers from the kernel. /s

I don’t know how someone can lurk without the urge to post something or comment, that must take willpower

That... is silly. Things need to move.

So you expect us to live in a virtual pod with a treadmill and grow all of our own food? And collect rainwater?

Edit: I’m not saying we shouldn’t reduce our need for freight. Growing food in your backyard (half of my yard is good production) reduces the need for freight emissions. And I cycle to work. But drive or fly on holidays, I wish we had a more reliable train network.

If I’m unconscious indoors in a safe place then leave me alone I’ll wake up eventually

Should also include: don’t invite violence against people who simply own cars.

I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.
