As someone who had to bike to work for 3 years because i couldnt afford a vehicle: Fuck you.

Cycling is absolutely a viable form of transportation. Especially in a crowded flat town like Kalamazoo.

So people that can afford a $100 bike and not afford to buy and maintain a car or for whatever reason do not or can not drive cannot ride on taxpayer funded infrastructure to go get food and go to work? It is only a not viable form of transportation here by choice and it seems to work for much of the rest of the…

Beaver seems to be being extraordinarily reasonable about this. 

Sure. And people should only be allowed to drive for work and to get food.

The car-centric stigma is here to stay, which means woe to anyone who refuses to sit in a steel cage just to move the next block over.

Those lights and sirens are not a cure all for traffic. If there is someone already occupying the space you need to get into, you’ve still gotta wait for them to clear the junction, sirens don’t cause other traffic to become intangible, they are just to help them notice you and hurry.

This concept exists already in Ann Arbor, MI and as infrequently as I’ve driven on it, it has always felt insane. Since the bike frequency has been much lower than car frequency when I’ve driven down this road, drivers tend to just straddle the bike lane by default. Seems like drivers becoming complacent to driving in…

My guess is the Sheriff’s Deputy will be threatened, etc. and forced to move and will never work as an officer again.

The overwhelming majority of people who claim to speak for the overwhelming majority don’t know what the overwhelming majority actually wants.

Wow what an agitated reply. There’s lots of cities around the world with fully functional bike infrastructure. This is the future of our downtowns, which can no longer support the model of everyone having a car. Now is the time to embrace alternate modes of travel rather then double down on the bad ideas of the 60's.

i agree that drivers have no skill

Props to the officer who pulled him over. My guess is most wouldn’t.

It’s nothing to do with ads. It has to do with API cost. Apps are happy paying for fair access but Reddit wants to charge astronomical amounts instead. They want to turn a huge profit off peoples apps OR force them to close and funnel everyone through their gateways.

One of the things that almost every news outlet seems to miss is that people are not protesting that the reddit API will cost money, they’re protesting that the cost for the API is so absurdly out of touch that it’s designed to kill off any third party apps.

You know you’re on Kotaku, right?

Part of the idea is if your favorite subreddits are dark, you won’t visit reddit at all. That’s what I’m doing. The subs I would normally go to reddit for are dark. So, I’m just not using reddit today. Deleting your account doesn’t send as much of a message because it’s permanent. If you just stop using it today and…

Yeah, and it echoes something I’ve been saying for years - the boom/bust cycle of platforms is getting really frustrating for users to have to switch every time some vulture capitalist decides that it’s time to wring every last penny out of the platform.

this is reddit, not 4chan

Yet another site succumbing to the enshittification of the internet.
