Hello pervert. Would like to notify myself - I am a expert cybercriminal, and have succeeded in hacking your ÔS. At this moment, I have secured a complete control to your user space. On top of that, I was also unnoticeably observing all your activities and snooping on you for a couple of past weeks. It was feasibly because your device was infected with malignant tracking software, which invaded your device while you were visiting a page containing pornographic footage.

Bike Dear subscriber, Absolutes are easy; nuance requires effort. As communication rushes towards disingenuous clickbait and dehumanising Al word-slop, that effort seems to be in increasingly short supply - and demand. So thank you for taking a stand against this race to the bottom. Thank you for subscribing to Bike, for supporting long- form reads written by curious and thoughtful humans for curious and thoughtful humans.
