They have that "If you find the right blend of essential oils to rub onto your legs you will be able to walk again." energy.
I'm a road biker who occasionally dabbles in gravel and mountain biking.
I think the right wing hatred of cyclists comes down to two primary things:
-
They have road rage over being behind bikes on the road, so they "hate cyclists."
-
They equate lycra/spandex as being feminine or at least "non masculine" if not outright "gay."
They are usually cool with mountain bikers because they aren't "in their way" on the road, and usually are wearing baggy "manly" clothing.
I can relate so hard to this. Liberal/leftist hunting buddies are basically non existent.
Dude. This. I grew up camping. I am into bushcraft, survival stuff too, and every interesting survival youtuber seems like a ticking time bomb, if not already openly right wing crazy.
Just a couple fascist corps squabbling over AI slop. I hope they both lose.
You are talking about tankies. Who are so far left they made a lap back to authoritarianism. In no way do they represent most leftists.
That's fair. I usually turn it off for FPS games. But if it's mild, I leave it on for third person games where I am playing as a camera.
I don't mind a bit of lens flare, and I like depth of field in dialog interactions. But motion blur and chromatic aberration can fuck right off.
I got my first one today. I feel like I have finally made it in the Fediverse.
I have a lot of fond nostalgia for Digg, and Kevin Rose, especially from the Tech TV days.
But reading this article doesn't exactly spark much excitement for me. In the end, it's just another centralized capitalist venture (now with AI slop from the start) that will end up enshitified in the pursuit of shareholder profits.
We are already using the alternative. Lemmy is the way forward for this format.
Dude. He said to disregard it.....
First rule of turkey sub: don't talk about turkey sub.
For real. Riding in 100F temps in anything but lycra is out of the question for me. The only time I don't wear my cycling clothes on a bike is when I am pulling my kid in the trailer and we will be stopping at all the playgrounds.
