That’s awful. I’m still sorry and I wish it was better, and hope it can be.

Personally I think going down the anarchist route is better, as Dee has already outlined, but if it’s a case of formalising it I’d happily put my name down for the risk.

I appreciate I’m not a huge poster here (although I’ve been a lurker for 15 years, only posting recently), but this place has absolutely changed my life, and needs to exist in this same form.
@Velocio, in just two words, thank you, but there is a heart full of praise for your work in ways than I could not say.

I’m really sorry to hear that, particularly through death. Personally, it really gets me every time there’s a statement like “science progresses one death at a time”. It seems quite real, but undermines ideas I hold close to my heart. To apply that to family is heartbreaking in more ways than one.

Not looking for a response, just really need to get this off my chest, so I won’t reply. Sorry you all had to read this in the first place if I’m honest, but I have very few other outlets.
Thanks x

Just had a huge row with my family when they visited us for pre-Christmas. They’re very much not socially or politically aware, and are so so far away from accepting anything that even slightly deviates from their norms.
I hate that they’re so hateful, I hate that there’s a world view which is so hateful, so reductive, so insular. The obsession and identity with, and of, categorical black and white thinking. The dismissal of any idea, fact, or reason for nuance.
The idea that others are simply play things for their strict worldview.
Just fuck that, and fuck them, for the things they’ve said, which I won’t post here.

3.0. Aggressive flash and rhrythm modes are incredibly dangerous to all other road users, especially at high lumen. Distracting and dazzling is not "seen".
100%. The best rear light I’ve used has a mode where the LEDs go round the edge of the rounded rectangle shape, so it’s on constantly, but moving, so it’s easier to track where a rider is. About a quarter of the radius is lit up at any one time, and it kind of fades in/out as it moves around. Annoyingly though the charging was a nightmare.
2.1 Secondary downlights or floor marking on front lights are unecessary and distracting for riders and drivers alike
This also seems like a great idea, never used that style of light though so can’t really say how effective it might be.

Yeah you’re right, @🅑🅐🅣🅣 said the same in the other thread too. I was just curious about the obvious alternative domain name really.

Could do the whole 'recursive acronym' thing, where the L stands for LFGSS

Lovely fixed gear and single speed has a nice ring to it
After all, we’re the friendliest forum on the internet
Not at all!
This place is sometimes a place to get shit off your chest and that’s all it needs to be. For what it’s worth, I’m at least partially over it now. Thank you!
