A while back, a man in his 70s looked at my bike skeptically.
"Why do your ride it?"
When I said "saves money," "doesn't pollute," he scoffed. But he agreed when he said it was good for my health.
I forgot to tell him real reason: Joy.
Day in, day out, my bike makes me happy.

@straphanger next you see him please ask the question that he will most benefit from:
"why do you scoff at correct answers to your own questions?"
@falcennial @straphanger
- "saves money"
[scoff]
... ok mr richpants mcmoney, I'm sorry.
"it doesn't pollute like a car does."
[scoffs]
70 suddenly seems like enough, time to finish living.
@[email protected] @adriano @straphanger for the innocent, for the peace loving, the kind, the generous, the just, the protectors, the helpers, the compassionate, the open minded, the loving, the caring, the respectful, and the deserving always. categorically.
not for the cruel, the derisive, the snide, the destructive, the hateful, or even the sarcastic. for those, only fairness and justice.
this is not a difficult concept my friend. I would expect it to be self evident.
@adriano @straphanger did I misread Rando Calrizian's comment or is there a fediverse user who wants me, for some reason, to show compassion to creatures who deride people for wishing to live in a safe climate?
because I do not think I am going to do that.
