You're right about the definition of asocial, but in every dictionary I've found, antisocial actually means both. Antisocial behaviour is generally more about harming others, while describing oneself as antisocial is generally just avoiding others.
I'm curious if you're from the UK because when I was there, I noticed a lot more people use antisocial in the context of harming others or society, while in north America we use it more in the avoiding others context.
I guess just municipalities describe it differently then. My city describes protected bike lanes as "dedicated bike lanes with concrete medians and planters, bicycle parking corrals, or vehicle parking lanes that divide them from vehicle traffic."
The google image someone else posted of the street, to me, shows a regular bike lane.
Doesn't change anything about this awful incident anyway, just thought the choice of words was interesting. Especially since later on in the article it says her death may have been prevented had there been a concrete median.
I'm not American and actually don't know much about him but aside from the one glaring topic in that wiki, he sounds ok to me? Curious as to what shitty things he's done if anyone feels like sharing.
Editing to say: the one glaring topic is a pretty fucking important topic in my books, but I don't imagine any other American politician with a chance having a different opinion on the matter
If Danny DeVito were president, I would love to America in a heartbeat.
I love that everyone else here is saying they'd move to Canada. I also live in the PNW and as much as I hate how expensive it is, I do not see myself wanting to go anywhere else. Somewhere else in the province? Maybe. But it's fucking beautiful here and I'm not gonna pretend it's not.
I'm a bit confused that the article says "protected" bike lane but the aerial shot shows no barriers? What exactly is meant by "protected", because to me (and to google) protected means at least some kind of barrier.
Am a young millenial but me not playing online games has nothing to do with that. I am just antisocial.
Gen x is known as the lost generation for a reason.
Damn this morning I wished so hard my company was in the affected group. Alas, we all still had to work.
I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They'll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like "doesn't help carry suitcases", "laughed at a disabled person", "sneezed too loud that one time". That'll show them.
