    Lots of drivers pass too close and too fast, and the majority of the time they want to zoom past me only to roll stop through the next stop sign or wait for me to arrive at the crosswalk and press the light. They’ll also stop if a car is parking, or another car coming in the opposite. Nah, they can wait for me on my bike or they can use another any of the 100 roads specifically designated for them.

    Though, not all the time. If I’m taking the lane it’s for a reason. It doesn’t help when drivers then use that moment to ride up right behind me. Car drivers treat bikers like shit and expect to be treated like royalty.










  • Oops wrong comment sorry.

    Yes I think that is the draw. I posted this question because I recently got a VR headset and went to youtube to bask in it, get recommendations. I felt bombarded by hustle culture and youtubers trying to rope me into their career progression. Title card, into, ‘what’s up guys’, 8-12 minutes (except that guy asking us to put on his 8 hour video before we go to sleep), perfect audio, expensive studio background with merch, grinning/surprise/red arrow thumbnails, ‘only 5% of you watching subscribe’. Ahh. It’s just too much sometimes.





  • I think I’m a bit like you since I do that too. Everyone (even at work) knows that I don’t want to see baby pictures and I’m not excited about a baby. I don’t think much about having kids but parents usually really really love their kids immediately, even before they are born, and if they are close friend or family then I am ok vibing with that for their sake.

    The only time I’ve actually felt positively about it is when my best friend told me they were having a baby. It took me a moment but I thought then felt that I was able to be happy because he was happy and his partner (who I also like) is happy, and then it took me a few days of thinking about it that part of me was also picking up on this excitement because I wonder what my best friends kid will be like. And it’s only because I care about him and his life a lot. I’m not close to my sister and have never felt those feelings before about babies/parents.
