Submission to cycle/pedestrian consultation that reads: “I think it is just unacceptable to say "high traffic volume, no space for a cycle path" and propose absolutely nothing, when opportunities like this don't arise often, when despite space restrictions, there is still enough room and more that can be done to improve the walk, wheel and cycle experience along that stretch. I walk that route to work and back every other day and it is by far the worst part of my journey. Cars and buses speeding past just centre-meters away, blowing pumes of smoke in my face, having to duck underneath overgrown trees. How can you just completely disregard the state of that? I will never cycle to work until I feel like I can safely do so, seperated from traffic, from the Road junction into the city centre. Thinking about this, do you really think these proposals make any difference? Always good to see progress, but absolutely meaningless when you have not one answer to that problem. Not even installing pedestrian railings to make it safer / create more of a separation? Not even managing the overgrown trees? And surely you could be more creative with the space available, or the flow of traffic? I am just so unconvinced that there are simply no answers and that this isn't the perfect opportunity to do something about that. Anything, no matter how small, would make a difference. I am so so so disappointed. Really, please, go stand on the pavement in that red X-marked stretch for an hour. Tell me how it feels to have all that traffic speeding past you, and tell me you have no answers to the problem.”

Comment section of Our World in Data’s Instagram post on global same-sex marriage legalisation. madkiba initially commented “Countries not to live in” samuelsworld replied “humans being the only species with any kind of problem with homosexuality” madkiba replied “there are no such thing as homosexuality in normal life of other species. Mainly in hard circumstances such as zoos and so on. For humans also primarily in jails etc” madkiba added “also mutations, wrong imprinting and other forms of deviations. But it's absolutely not normal in all meanings: statistical, behavioural etc” mell. pepper replied “you're wrong bud. Read Biological Exuberance, it's a 1999 biology book that documents homosexual behavior in over 400 species. Plus, you seem to be under the false belief that just because something seems natural or not should determine whether it is morally right. Being gay is a fundamental human right the same way being straight is.” n_12345678912 replied “are you a behavioural scientist specialized on animals?”
