  • As a cyclist the dirt bikes are fucking terrifying and they are almost never used for commuting. Just for doing wheelies and showboating.

    Obviously cars are my enemy too but I think there’s a fundamental disconnect on this website sometimes where understanding the issue requires actually living in areas where the problem exists.

    Edit: another thing that springs to mind is that I feel a certain irony that someone could laugh at something like that old 2016 libertarian debate where Gary Johnson was booed for suggesting that someone should get a license to drive to demonstrate competency while simultaneously mocking anyone for being afraid of these license plate free things zooming past my 18 mph e-bike at 50 mph. (25 mph speed limit btw)

    Like nah dude that’s dangerous you should absolutely have that taken away from you and you should be reeducated before you kill someone


  • Nah Gantz said he was going to leave the government on June 8th like three weeks ago the only reason he didn’t yesterday was because of the hostages bullshit he didn’t want to be InSeNsITIvE and had to let people celebrate mass killing first

    Edit: For additional context; the whole thing was that gantz gave Netanyahu an ultimatum to come up with a “different war strategy” by June 8th or national unity would leave the government.

    Unclear what strategy he would have preferred but it’s likely what ever terrible alternative he had in mind would not be terrible enough for the parties to the right of likuid that Netanyahu also is relying on for his coalition and he probably made the calculation that it would be more politically damaging for him if they left (probably because then gantz would have more leverage over him to trigger an early election)
