    Don’t worry,

    Based on context and the mention of a rider, I think this was a motorcycle accident.

    Having been to Bengaluru (or Bengalore as is more common in English), the roads do suck, a lot.

    The bigger problem for this community (IMO), though, is the general absence of sidewalks. I tried walking to a restaurant ~1km from my hotel and needed to walk on the road the whole time, dodging cars and motorcycles (and those three wheeled things that are like cars).

    You forgot the part where they blame you all the time for hogging the road and slow down the traffic.

    Y’know we could have had human innovated spaceships for everyone since (at least) the 1930s, right?

    Can we go back to the Sonora Aero Club tech arc? No? Oh right. Capitalist protectionism, eliminating the competition, to preserve their rents and maximised wealth extraction. :/

    First they force you into using the roads,
    then they force everyone even those who don’t drive to pay for maintenance,
    then you die.

      No one’s forcing you hold court on things you know nothing about either, but here you are, doing it anyway.

        The irony.

        So, go ahead and explain how this person was forced to use a road. Explain how it wasn’t a conscious decision made entirely of free will.

        And feel free to be as smug as you’d like. It doesn’t bother me at all.

          So are you a libertarian that now? Nothing around you happens unless you do it yourself, everything that happened to you is your fault?

          And feel free to be as smug as you’d like. It doesn’t bother me at all.

          Ironic.

            How does all that smugness not cause you to collapse inward on yourself like a dying star?? For fuck’s sake!

            It doesn’t take a libertarian to point out that FREE WILL is a real thing.

            I get that you all love the smell of your own asses here bug my fucking god, you’d think at least one of you would be smart enough to understand such a simple concept.

              Seriously. Are you stalking my comments and replying to everyone in them? Get a life dude.

              It’s not enough that you’re a massive bad-faith vote manipulator, but you seriously feel the need to respond to everyone that I interact with?

            ROFL! Again, this is not proof he was forced to do anything. You people really need to learn how to argue or I have very little faith in the next generation of lawyers.

            I get that I’m the unpopular opinion in a community dedicated to choir preaching, but for fuck’s sake, at least argue facts.

                That’s good, as I’m not looking for an argument. Though I suppose I should have said debate- Just adding a nuanced take to a nuance-less point.

                But unless I’m mistaken, I’m allowed to respond to comments.

    Yeah I’m sure they’d have a subway here and not some garbage path to get robbed on 👌👍🤣. A nice clean well lit concrete sidewalk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

      Hey so, you know this isn’t Reddit, right? You seem super keen on collecting those pretty orange arrows and I’m sorry to tell you that orange arrows are downvotes, not upvotes. It doesn’t work like that around these parts.
