A decent bike needn’t be expensive. For as little as 300€, you can have a new bike that’ll do just fine for recreational use and simple commutes. Used bikes can usually be had really cheap, too, but for that you’d best know how to check the components and what to look for.
Race bikes, mountain bikes and pedelecs are a different thing, but those are either specialty sports equipment or luxury items.
Either way, (normal) bikes are easy and cheap to maintain, if used correctly.
In the US, you can get a pretty decent ebike $1,500-1,800. I wouldn’t even consider them a luxury in many parts of the country, because we so often have to share the roads with cars.
Lol had the same experiance with a guy called stamets . He didn’t believe i was a psychologist because “i wrote like a teenager” like english isn’t my first language bruh i am tring here alright just cut me some slack . And then the mod went and deleted my post because i was “harrasing” people to be fair to the mod i was but so was they like i bet the stamet kid could never speak my first language like i speak english .
Okay but setting aside the details of the truth about language, having a degree should not give you or anyone carte blanche (definition: “complete freedom to act as one wishes or thinks best”) to harass strangers on the internet. I know nothing of the incident you referred to, only what you said here. Also btw I did not down-vote you.
Regardless of whether a mod is a literal child or not, that is the “role” that they have stepped up to fulfill - to be a curator of whatever community, or instance, or whatever - and should that not deserve at least a modicum of respect? i.e., if you stepped up to fulfill that role for your own community, wouldn’t you want people to respect you in turn? From your words, you obviously do, so why not offer it preemptively?
Especially as a psychologist: you better than most people know that you get what you give, especially when dealing with children.
They likely were saying that the truth of whether you were a psychologist or not was irrelevant, what matters was you breaking the rules of that community - b/c at some point, if truth is functionally indistinguishable from a lie, then does it matter, practically speaking?
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this food for thought:-).
Cool, so what’s your point? Why would they assume you’re anything but another “guy on the Internet”? For what it’s worth, i have a hard time believing you’re a medical professional too
My point being this is what the meme being about 🤦 and frankly i don’t care what you think i shared my experience because this is lemmy and that is what it is for.
Thanks! Heading out for my first 30+ miler in a bit. Doing the physical therapy exercises required after being hit by cars in the past on my bike. The random encouragement is appreciated!
Near miss. GIMP on Ubuntu, and the emojis originate from here. Just for fun I tried to match the gradient of the image featured in the article, instead of pasting the emojis one by one.
