This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I never did any of that stuff, nor does anyone I know. A minority of, often younger riders, give a bad impression.
You can be as safe as you want but when another car merges into you on the highway, there is nothing you can do other than evasive manuevers and hope that you don't get killed.
Want to make the roads safe? Actually enforce distracted driving, it's almost as if not just as dangerous as drunk driving, and we take away licences for that. Retest drivers and riders every 5 years, and every 3 years for anyone over 65.
Just like with police. A minority of bad cops give all cops a bad name.
Same can be said for a truck merging on to a person in a car.
Yes. But we’d need a more robust mass transit system or walkable towns/cities. I’m all for that, but not everyone is.
Except motorcyclists aren't an inherent part of a purposely oppressive system that routinely does horrific things as a core part of its working.
If a motorcyclist calls another out for bad behavior they don't (usually) have to risk their life and livelihood to do so.
ACAB comes from the idea that it's not possible to remain in that group as a subjectively good person.
I get it, you hate motorcyclists, possibly for good reason but the idea that a genuine equivalence exists between them and police is absurd.
I get the impression that's supposed to be some kind of gotcha, kinda seems like projection though.
If you don't want to (or feel like you can't) engage on a point, no one is forcing you, it says enough that this is your response.
