I don’t see what’s controversial here. This just seems like an independent thinker who evaluates issues on a case-by-case basis rather than blindly adopting the views of any one group as a package deal.

Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.

Not including your pronouns on emails / online profiles.

You seem to be assuming that people would keep driving as they currently do if we removed speed limits entirely. I'd be willing to bet that this is not the case. Most drivers have a number in mind on how much they're willing to exceed the speed limit. For me that is 5 - 10kph, so if the limit is 60kph, then you're not going to catch me going 80. Without speed limits I probably would.

So why do we have such laws? Because they work. Not perfectly but to some extent.

I don't even know what he has said.

I agree with the sentiment but I wouldn't go as far as banning it. I'm for free speech even when I think it's stupid. I do admit of having preconceptions of people who do this though.

Also, feels like such a pointless thing to debate about as someone whose native language doesn't have gendered pronouns to begin with. Here everyone is they/them.

I was going to say liquidate my investments but to be honest I'm not sure I could even spend all the money in my bank accound in 31 days. I don't even know what to buy. Beef Jerky and RedBull? I'd probably get my hands on some psychedelics though, maybe even hard drugs. One thing I would do is much more urban offroading with my truck since I no longer need to be worried about my license - or the truck. I'd probably go have a thai massage with a happy ending and try gay sex too because why not.

All in all I don't think I'd be living that much differently. I already know I'm going to die. I just don't know when.

I'd love my fatbike to have both, belt drive and a gearbox. I barely even bother to adjust the derailleur anymore since I'm constantly banging it everywhere anyway. Gearbox would also give more clearance for 6 inch tire on the rear. Some innovation on the brakes section would be in place too since disc brakes don't seem to like water and mud but mine are getting plenty of both.

You don’t offer your services and prices easily

That’s a strange assumption. My pricing and services are listed on the flyer they likely first heard about me from, as well as on my website. You can also just call, email, or text and ask.

If you have a job for me but don’t want to "waste your time" by reaching out, I’m not too concerned about losing you as a customer. Virtually all of my previous clients seem to appreciate not just a job well done, but the one-on-one human connection as well. In fact, some of them seem to just want someone to talk to - the work itself feels almost secondary.

That's quite the number of assumptions you made there

Reddit is more diverse. The same kind of cynicism exists there too but it's dilluted by all the other content so it's easier to ignore. Here that is less the case as majority of the content is news articles - granted that I haven't been to reddit for over a year so I don't know what it's like today.
