   When I was very pregnant and walking was slow and painful, my upright bike made me feel light and free. The idea that all disabled people need cars or that no disabled people can use bikes is just not true.

   In fact, by providing more non-car options to get around, cities can reduce congestion and parking competition, making it EASIER to drive for people who rely on cars. Helping people who don't need to drive switch to other modes benefits everyone.

   If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living with #MECFS, it’s that “a change is as good as a rest” is just not true.

   In the absence of rest, a change *might* be better than nothing, but you still need rest - and REGULARLY.

   Eg: 1hr physical exertion + 1h mental exertion is better than 2hrs mental exertion, but neither gives any rest at all. You might not know it, but your cortisol levels and your nervous system absolutely do.

   You can’t cheat at resting.

   When I tell people to buy cheap real estate, I commonly hear “you have to pay if you want good schools.”

   I am not sure this is true.

   In 2024, if you get a hoity toity school district then they will troon your kids. If you pay $1m for an urban house then your kid will get the beatdown from gangsters in training like it’s prison.

   Sure, rural schools are a bunch of dumb hick kids, but I’d think a small city school in a red state would be just ok. Not great, but ok.

   Am I wrong?

   @GossiTheDog We had this is the old days.

   The story of the person who used a lawn mower to trim their hedges, hurt themselves, and then successfully sued the maker of the lawn mower. It isn't true.

   In the 1980s a reporter investigated the story after a major insurance company put this story a full page newspaper ad to push tort reform.

   There was no source for the story, no proof. It was a lie

   The insurance company almost lost its license.

   We've always had fake stories that spread.

   The fact that the active user count on your instance has dropped by 75% in the last half a year or so and has continually dropped every single day for the last 6 months it would seem to suggest this is not true.

   In fact it suggests your user base is quite unhappy and leaving in record numbers. Say what you will but the facts say otherwise.

   Lina’s belief isn’t a prerequisite for what is or what is not made true.

   In the end I don’t really care since it’s not very good optics to be in a thread where A) faggots seething about a mass-block for months are still seething, B) some nigger @mia got so mad that they threatened to drop dox (lol) and 3) you’re speaking.
