Oh this must slap live!

We really don't get much content here so no need to worry about "spamming", especially since you're posting bangers 😎 You'd probably get more engagement if you spaced out your posts a bit though, just saying!

How dare anyone enjoy a thing differently than you!

(and lights [...] should be treated as stop signs).

Bicycles aren't held to the same safety standards as cars because bicycles are inherently way less dangerous than cars.

Your question is like asking why BB guns aren't held to the same safety standards as actual guns.

New Brunswick here, it's much the same with the speeding and the huge pickups, but I've found drivers give me a lot more space when passing on a rural road than a busy city street. Like usually half a lane away from me at a minimum, if not an actual proper pass.

I'm assuming it helps that I don't really "look like a cyclist", at least in the eyes of motorists. I feel people might be more aggressive towards someone wearing lycra on a road bike, whereas my goofy ass riding a hybrid-cruiser-city bike and wearing a high-vis vest is novel enough on a rural road for them to take notice of me.

Stop signs should really be a yield for cyclists (and lights, especially at intersections with sensors that aren't triggered by bikes, should be treated as stop signs).

I don't disagree (I'd be in favour of bike lanes anywhere with a road or street) but I feel a lot more comfortable cycling in the lane on a low-traffic rural road than on a busy stroad in the city.

Cattle sure, but if you include poultry and porc that shoots up to around 80% of soy used for feed.

Are we talking '70s prog rock Peter Gabriel Genesis, or '80s pop Phil Collins Genesis? I'm down for both, I just want to plan my outfit.

I hope it's not Bible Genesis, my Sunday-best is worse for wear.

I wonder if Garfield is happy for Nyan Cat's success or if he derides the new generation of viral internet felines that have dethroned him from atop the pillars of celebrity cats. Likewise, do you think Nyan Cat sees Garfield as a trailblazer for cartoon cats in popular media, or as a has-been, a relic from times past?

I mean, he's not wrong that many of Halifax's residents don't care for bike lanes; it's an inevitability of how Halifax is made up.

The Halifax Regional municipality is huge, clocking in at 5475.57 km^2. That's almost 10% of the entire province of Nova Scotia by area. Here's a street view picture of a random spot I picked in Halifax, this is what most of Halifax looks like:

(Of course, most of the population lives in the urban core. Density drops from around 1500 inhabitants per km^2 to just 64 when looking at the whole municipality)

This is just one of the many reasons urban amalgamations are a scam, one often proposed by conservatives to (among other reasons, like subsidizing suburbia) drown out progressive voices in cities that support things like bike lanes. Toronto is a great case study in this, where the surrounding suburbs have been choking the city proper and slowing progress since 1998.

It's frankly ridiculous to entertain the notion that someone living in Tangier (location of the above street view) should have a say in how streets and neighbourhoods are organised in downtown Halifax. Let them decide what happens on the road in Tangier, and let the people who actually live in the neighbourhoods of downtown organise them to their wants and needs.

In conclusion, Tim Houston is an absolute fuckwit. And his coffee and doughnuts suck.

No worries, one can never overemphasize the grossness, unhealthiness, or stupidity of smoking cigarettes.

I have no plans to quit in the immediate future but that doesn't mean I won't tell anyone who'll listen how much tobacco sucks.

I will say though, avoiding smoking indoors or inside cars goes a long way to avoid reeking too much. I've had non-smoker friends confirm this to me. I do however usually still reek from carrying butts around 'cause my momma didn't raise no litterer!

• my electronics are all designed to break by themselves way before smoke damage would have any effect

• wait that's not the point? then why do they advertise so on the packs? checkmate, healthy-lungs

• I only smoke outside

• I only smoke outside (and don't have pets)

• I only smoke outside

• I am extremely careful about making sure I don't leave any lit embers around (I almost lost my apt in a fire years ago due to a negligent smoker)

• yeah I admit I am trash

• again, they advertise it on the packs! is it not the addiction that makes you cool?

This post is satire, don't smoke kids. If you won't do it for your lungs, do it to not constantly smell like an ashtray.
