Not sure I agree with the second take. Anyone that eats meat should be ethically required to take an animals life they will eat at some point so they directly know what it means to eat meat. If someone is uncomfortable with the thought of taking an animals life, why are they eating meat and paying someone else to do their dirty work?
I eat meat, but probably not as much as most people. I have butchered livestock and hunted in the past, taking an animals life is not a pleasant thing to do.
I suspect that scooters have similar risks as bicycles, more dangerous than cars for non-lethal injuries, less dangerous for lethal injury. And nearly all lethal injury, like 99%, directly related to cars and trucks. Cars are more lethal to drive on a highway than bikes are to ride on city streets. I bet scooter are basically the same, the biggest risk is automobiles.
It's worse than that, there are Republicans that know he's morally reprehensible, might destroy the country, know he is incompetent, and still worship him.
I watch twitch, this dude is gross. I'll watch some pretty degenerate twitch streamers, but this guy seems like a grade a nazi.
Do you think motorcycles are required to just sit at a light all day long? Some lights these days are only triggered by large metal objects, motorcycles are often not detected. The light will never change if a car or truck doesn't come.

This article only lists some states, but I know it's legal in Minnesota since 2002, so it's definitely not an exhaustive list.
At stop signs, or right turns at lights, most vehicles roll through slowly instead of coming to a complete stop, basically the exact same action a bike takes. At least where I live it's perfectly legal for bikes to run stop signs, so long as it wouldn't be anyone else's right of way. But it's not legal for cars to do it, yet they mostly do.
Edit: passing through a red on a bicycle or motorcycle is also legal in most places with proximity sensors so long as no one else has the right of way. Many lights have proximity sensors that fail to detect bikes, so they have to let it happen or you could be stuck at a light until a car comes.
Sure, but most car drivers also fail to come to a complete stop as well.
Corporations might be largely at fault but regular people can keep voting with their dollars. Corporations have to adjust to demand.
Most of the top polluters in the world are fossil fuel producers. Want to slow them down? Stop driving ice vehicles, take public transit, bike, walk, move closer to work, or unionize and put work from home in your contract. Reduce in home energy waste, if you own a home: improve insulation, check heat loss around the edge of windows, look into solar panels. Most of these things improve you life anyway, lowering your monthly costs makes your life better.
Lobby, get involved in your community, organize.
While it's true that large corporations are major polluters, our continued actions (and inaction) give them the money and power to keep polluting.
Good point to clarify.
Failure to id is a secondary crime, you first need to be lawfully detained/lawfully suspected of a crime, before id can be demanded in 24 states. In the remaining states you need to be arrested before id can be demanded. Driving a motor vehicle is different though. As long as an officer had a reasonable reason for pulling you over, they can id you even if you dispell their suspicions prior to providing ID. If you're pulled over, it's best to always provide ID.
So it's only a lawful order if the police follow the law, if they just walk down the street randomly asking people for id, then failure to comply with their unlawful demands can be thrown out by the courts. Of course the police can just lie and make up a reason they suspected you of a crime, which is why some states have made things like "smelling marijuana" not enough on it's own.
I'm not big into ideological labels, but calling me a liberal without evidence is silly. My beliefs most closely align with socialism and progressivism, but I don't believe in blind ideological thinking.
Not exactly traumatic, but certainly not pleasant to look into somethings eyes and take it's life. A lot of men pretend it's a fun experience to be macho, but I think most people do not enjoy taking an animals life.
