Lol I was paying perfect attention. Only reason the kid was ok was that I was far enough back to slam on my breaks (and was going the speed limit). I doubt he even realized how risky the move he pulled was.
In all fairness, I’ve also nearly been hit by asshole pickup trucks blowing the same stop sign. Guess it might just be that intersection that makes people think it’s optional.
Yes independence is a good thing. If they were riding normal bikes, I’d have few issues with them. However, the way things currently are, I see a decent number of dead or disabled children in the future.
I’ve learned to ignore pretty much any article that is about what someone is saying. Report about things being done. Talking heads are not a headline.
The number of children I see zooming around the neighborhood without helmets and not even stopping at stop signs (I legit almost hit one kid one time who blew through a stop sign in front of me), is pretty horrifying. Their parents have basically given them all small motorcycles and let them go free with no supervision. It just seems so unsafe.
I had to Google it, and if you want to be pedantic, it was technically 13 years and 5 months ago. Definitely horrific it’s been so long either way.
14 years…that’s how long it took for him to see the consequences of his actions. Unacceptable.
Some people spend too much time online and it shows. There are some very drama filled spaces where it seems like people purposely follow things that make them angry and assume everyone else should be as angry as they are.
I know the algorithms encourage it, but people need to just disengage and stop giving bandwidth to the rage bait stuff.

I’d say 6.5. I like to see a few brown spots but 7 is verging on too far. I’d happily eat any of 5-7.
I vote in every election. I will always vote for the candidate most aligned with my values. I do not vote by party lines (though frankly with the direction of the one major party has moved it sure looks like I do).
Always vote. Especially in your local elections. They matter and very few people participate.
