Eh, I'm totally calm, just kicking myself for engaging with someone that has such a condescending attitude. Yeah, clearly I misread the spirit of this thread and the original post was well within bounds. In that spirit, I still reserve the right to think less of someone for doubling down on the condescending tone and sweeping generalizations.

If by ‘engaging’ you mean fitting me up as a strawman for the eleventy-billionth time despite the fact that it never, ever ends well for you when you single me out in this way, sure. Don’t stop believing. Although I do find it a bit weird that you only come for female posters with accusations of condescension, and that whenever this happens it speaks to a kind of self-hater’s narcissism in that you’re trying to centre yourself as some kind of victim of a criticism that genuinely wasn’t about you.

The new Five Finger Death Punch album came out today. All I'm saying is, if the singer for your favorite band doesn't shout "GET SOME!" before the guitar solo, you need a new favorite band.

I swear there's a certain way of bicycling that certain narcissists have--kind of a wobbly, all-over-the-place thing where they always look like they're about to fall over or crash into something. Gets people to look at them, I suppose

the streets around my place are full of cyclists on pavements. this week some woman sat behind me dinging her head off. sealed road right next to us, no cars anywhere, i was carrying awkward bulky things, but she had to sit behind me and ding. and then she greased me off after she got past, like she hadn’t just been aggressively breaking the fucking law.
― karl wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 20 May 2018 03:42 (six years ago) link
obviously not the appropriate response to your particular incident, but I was surprised when i learned that there are municipalities in which it is legal to cycle on sidewalks at walking speed.
― Hunt3r, Sunday, 20 May 2018 13:31 (six years ago) link
If they were at walking speed they wouldn't be dinging to get past...

Where I live there are often cycle paths on pavements, often badly marked, sometimes doubling up with a cycle path on the road next to the path. I basically have no idea what the rules are supposed to be here.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 20 May 2018 19:38 (six years ago) link
One cycle path on a road literally leads onto the middle of a busy roundabout, then off it again between two lanes of traffic for 100m, no fucking way I'm using that one again
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 20 May 2018 19:45 (six years ago) link
the cycle paths are practically third world around here, e.g. paths frequently disappear into parked cars and reappear unannounced on the other side of the road. because helmets are compulsory by law here (!!!), relatively few people ride bikes, so demand is low, so councils don’t fix the bike lanes.the big junction that takes me to the local bike share station is so dangerous i have no choice but to ride along a pavement for about 200m, but because i’m not a disgusting savage i slow right down and/or get off when people are there.

Bearded persons who allow the moustache to overgrow the mouth, and are thereby apparently content to dunk their facial hair into everything they eat and drink.
Sucking whisky from my moustache is one of my few remaining pleasures. Not denying I'm a disgusting savage, though.
