How do I word this without sounding like a dick?
Have you watched how people walk? They shamble, they stand on escalators (not the idea, folks!) and so on. These people drive. They look at their phones as they drive. They speed. Many of them are passively suicidal.
I'm not the only person I know who has crashed a car on a kind of death wish in the past. How the fuck are cars legal? Should be as bureaucratic to drive a car as it is to fly a plane.
E: oh and by the way, people cross the street to avoid cigarette smoke. Fair enough but like, are you fucking kidding me?
Beware of the Death Machines
I was in a bad car wreck when I was pretty young. Really made me aware of the physics of traffic. It's a total meat grinder out there, and it is normalized to the point that a surprise car wreck is a cliche narrative device.
I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so even though I sometimes think I must have a death wish, riding a bike truly makes me feel alive.
