I still prefer walking over biking over transit with cars being only if no other option but yeah I have had the cyclist who is annoyed at me for following the law but to be fair I have also gotten that with cars. I was hit from behind by a guy who accelerated as I breaked as the light turned yellow. Then when he came out he said. Oh well I did not expect you to stop short like that. WTF!

This is hard to swallow. Any type of shared space like condos and townhouses and such require some sort of governing body. I know many towns basically force new construction even houses to do this to because they don't want to pay for roads and garbage and such.

I think it depends on definitions. I treat stops like yields as do many cyclists I know and many places have codified it into law but many have not.

This is what I hate about looking for work. All this effort to go do things I by and large don't want to do. Granted I try and get the best jobs I can stomach and truth be told the things I do if it was not a forced thing, at forced times, for forced reasons, for forced ends. I would not mind doing them

I always called them insecurity questions. Im almost sure its easier for someone or thing with a dossier on me to answer any of them than me.

I have seen workers replaced with automation that sorta, kinda does the job but not really and its really making everything kinda suck nowadays.

Im not even sure I trust that video. It has artifacts that make it look doctored to me.

So whats the basis of your claims. Im aware of his associate and did not know he was convicted of rape.

I basically become disenchanted with smartphones before I even got one. I mean the iphone seemed amazing but hearing stallman previously had gotten me to be a believer in free software and you could just see the chains. Granted though, most of the folks I talk to are my neighbors.

KT-TOT is close. I actually do have a smartphone that I only use for work stuff since companies now usually do bring your own device with phones. it only has work stuff and I keep it off mostly unless im working in an on call position and am on call. I use voip on it with textnow as a backup. Otherwise I use my laptop with voip. Having any type of phone all the time that someone can text or call you at any time leaves you with the issue the OP has. Have to turn it off and actually be unreachable at times. Considering how often im on my laptop im still reachable pretty darn often. I also have a brother who lets me and my other brother know if extended family stuff shows up on facebook. Like weddings and funerals and such. I do try and check facebook once a week as my condo has a group and the aforementioned family stuff but like funerals are tricky as they can happen in less than a week of death with my family.

This does not really cover the question but the use of companies pushing stuff by using the term viral the way a high school student council poster would use popular. Its like they do something online and of course its practically impossible to have zero participation in stuff (especially if you pay "influencers" to shill for it) and then call it viral even though the majority of folks didn't participate and don't care.
