Hmmm I wonder why the fuck that is

Mostly city kids arguing on the internet, I’d imagine.

Found one

Thanks. I may be an asshole, but I’m not a chaser. Or a transphobe.

I’m not a chaser, please stop with that. It’s one quote that was taken totally out of context.

iirc they’ll be able to respond to posts that were already loaded into their instance, and you’ll be able to see it, but if you respond, they won’t see the response.

They’re just not accepting any new data from blahaj. Blahaj hasn’t defederated from them, so blahaj is happy to accept any new data they throw at it.

I had a blahaj person make a similar response to a message of mine a few weeks ago, before hexbear was even on the radar. I just rolled my eyes and may have sent some sort of “wow, what a dumb take” response or something.

OH whew thank you, I thought it was just my VPN that had gotten blocked. I wasn’t able to see any of the hexbear links.

A cishet person who is attracted mostly or exclusively to trans people. Like a chubby chaser.

Oh boy, here we go

As always, drama is fueled by incorrect information and wildly out of context posts. I’m the “chaser” they’re talking about. It was my post.

Someone literally asked me if I would date a pre-transition trans man or a post-transition trans woman, and I said yes. That’s all. Not a chaser. Just one specific response to one specific question about my personal preferences.

And I’m a straight cis man and 99% of the women I’ve dated have been straight cis women. Just because statistically that’s how it shakes out. I find it a bit hilarious that I’ve been labeled a chaser by these dummies.

Then the Mod of 196 made a now removed thread

A screenshot of that thread was used to start a new thread here: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/228474/Wtf-is-with-all-the-blatant-transphobia

How else would you drive without getting in a wreck most days?

…what? Have you ever driven before? This behavior causes wrecks ALL THE TIME, it’s probably the #1 cause of wrecks. It’s definitely one of the most dangerous things a driver can do. Same applies to cyclists.

It was about to turn red for the cyclist. Meaning it was red for the cars.

In most of the US, there’s no separate lights for cyclists.

In any case, you’re missing that the cyclist did the equivalent of coming from an adjacent lane to cut off cars next to him. No car can anticipate that, from a cyclist or from another car.

Lol cope more

Communism killed itself, which is good because it has an almost 100% track record of turning into dictatorship.

(Capitalism is working on killing itself but hasn’t quite finished the job yet)

Exactly. I’ve been playing Bethesda games for ages, news like this makes me happy they’re keeping the stuff that works.

Because - and this is the only real answer you’ll get - Starfield is “cool” and “normies” are looking forward to it. Therefore, the “real gamers” must hate it, ESPECIALLY before actually playing it.

Same shit you see in any niche community. Buncha nerds hating on anything too big or popular.

Oh man I saw a wreck just a week ago, right in front of me, because some moron decided to come to a FULL STOP on a freeway on-ramp, turn their blinker on, wait until there were literally no cars in the entire freeway, then scurry over across all lanes into the far left lane and start doing 30mph

Guess who came up behind them doing 65mph?

Guess who panicked and swerved directly in front of them?

The shitty thing is, because it’s technically a rear-end, there’s a good chance the driver doing everything right will be found at fault.

Well,

1. SF cyclists are entitled douchebag tech bros. Just unlikeable as people. Cycling (or at least, being vocal about your cycling) seems to attract the worst kinds of people.

2. No one is targeting cyclists. That’s not a thing. It’s a persecution complex dreamed up because: see above.

3. SF Bay drivers are some of the worst in the country. No, you’re not being targeted by the person running you off the road. They just do that. All the time. To everyone.

If you’re going at a slow speed maybe. A lot of cyclist infrastructure is next to roads with speeds of 40, 50, 60 mph.

So a cyclist darting out in front of oncoming traffic bears no responsibility if they get hit?

The scenario they’re talking about is in a 4-way intersection. Imagine you’re driving straight through an intersection; you have a green light, everything is fine. Then out of nowhere on your right side a cyclist zips by in front of you. You have 0.3 seconds to see them and apply the brake and have your car stop. That’s not always feasible.

In most places in the US we have pedestrians, vehicles, and bicycles all mashed together in close proximity. Statistically, there will be people killed by drivers who did nothing wrong.

Hell, there will be people killed by drivers because the pedestrian/cyclist did something stupid like run into traffic.

This law would cause a lot of harm to innocent people and I’m glad we don’t have it.
