I don’t disagree. I’ve worked on an ambulance, I’ve seen what the results of improper protection does to a person. But also how it affects everyone else involved- from the people scraping you off the street to the family that has to take care of you. The unseen injuries of head trauma. At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice- just think about the possible consequences to yourself and those around you.

Think of it this way- don’t wear a helmet because you ride a bike, wear a helmet because everyone else is in a car… they don’t look for you, they don’t care about you. Only you can care about you. It’s car culture pushing the responsibility of safety onto the cyclists to avoid culpability.

Two fairly interesting videos arguing each point and may help yall convince others to wear a helmet better than calling them stupid.

Be safe, anything can happen. Wear a helmet, even for the ‘safe’ rides so it becomes second nature.

Rebuttals to a few of the cons:

• don’t dress like an ‘annoying dork’- unless that’s your vibe, no need to change anything to ride a bike.
• you don’t ‘have’ to wear a helmet. Though there are some less bulky, big, or wherever this cons comes from. Probably best to wear one.
• no need to go fast and work up a sweat, or e-bike as other have mentioned. There may be financial rebates available. Other commuter tips include: bring extra clothes, and wet wipes to clean up once getting to.
• until a matter transporter comes along, it takes time to go anywhere.
• you get to find new routes. Find new shops, new neighborhoods, new parks. Feel like a part of you community. Not locked in a metal box or tube.
• bone conduction headphones, or other non noise canceling headphones
• there are bikes, racks and bags in any combination that can carry all sorts of groceries.
• no bad weather, only bad gear. I’d say heat of summer is worse than winter.

Hey, some places it’s the county Sheriff that’s the coroner… which is also bad.

Sometimes people die in the county jail… and almost every time it’s not needed to perform an autopsy- it’s just natural causes…

The coroner needs to be an impartial medical professional.

No bad weather, only bad/wrong gear.

I was camping for the last eclipse. Didn’t make it north enough for totality, but fairly close. Seeing the little wedge of sun filtered and projected hundreds of times through the trees was pretty awesome- and in a way more interesting than looking at directly with the special glasses.

Even if you don’t look up , try to go out and enjoy it.

Note, not live streams. I have to avoid social media on race weekends to avoid spoilers (Max wins is a given…)

How can I forget about Lord Latifi?

Look for altstore or similar

For the low low price of a little mea culpa on Sunday you too can be a raging pustule the rest of the week too…

He didn’t build it, but yea his name is on it because of his money. Not that PR money means he has morals. Although, it is a hospital for real human people, not other lizard types.

Looks like she left the right amount of fuel, OP even said he expected nothing less…

Sounds like Mr. Smeeg has some impossible to meet criteria.

I’ve had groups of ‘old’ posts pop up. 3Y, 2Y 10months. That is 3 or 4 posts all quite old, surround by newer posts. Keep scrolling, another group of old posts. All the comments are less than a day old. Also sorting all by hot. Both Voyager (neé wefwef) and Memmy (for Lemmy).

Not weird communities either, ones like Reddit - the one you posted- and also Zelda, antiwork, metal…

Is this a cheeky way of getting Tasting History with Max Miller content spread around? ‘Cause I’m here for it!

I second point 2.

Also a way to have some subscribed communities not show in the main home. I can’t always watch sports live and don’t like getting spoilers before in can watch. Akin to the multi-Reddit.

Works for me on iPad and iPhone. Starting the gesture off the left side of the screen screen or from the very edge, swiping to the right.

What I miss is the swiping from the right side to go back to a post from the feed, or to save a post from the feed.

I’d like to add swipe to go forward, that is, back to a post after swiping back to the feed. Even after scrolling a bit.

It’s a little thing that Apollo had that came in handy now and again, like many of it’s subtle QoL options.

I appreciate this is a different app, just launched in a couple of weeks and it’s already super polished and virtually bug free… hence the nitpicky ask.
