The big differentiator in this thread is “can you bend?” because if you’re stuck in an Air temple unable to fly, that would kind of suck. I guess if you had a buddy with a sky bison, that might make it easier. But the Earth kingdom seems to have their shit the most figured out out of all the kingdoms (Fire’s fascism notwithstanding).
Because people in cars do not see cyclists as people. And the powers that be are people in cars.
Well the lessons there were a) don’t be a conniving removed, and b) don’t be a stepmom or stepsister.
Has the US ever been ahead of any of its peers when it comes to consumer rights?
Worse. They’re afraid. Of what, you say? Couldn’t tell you, and they can’t either.
If people could take it, they might realize that cars are actually one of the worst modes of transportation ever invented by humanity. That would be unacceptable to the auto industry.
It infuriates me to my bones how Americans specifically think about driving vs. other modes of transportation.
$34B to repair a quarter-mile long stretch of highway? What the hey, it’s not our money (Narrator: it was, at least partially).
$10M to add bike lanes to a busy road with one of the highest crash fatality statistics in my city that’s basically a highway? REEEE NOT IN MY BACKYARD!
While Europe is far ahead in terms of training for police, I don’t think even 4 years is enough.
Very true; I don’t oppose the idea of a Pride Month. I just respond to corporate allyship with the same way the corps regard any marginalized group - indifference.
Sorry, I was a little defensive because some others seemed to think I was arguing with you. Your explanation made sense, though.
I 100% agree with you, but I don’t think the alternative is hate (for most corporations, anyway…); I think the actual attitude for most big corps is indifference. They just don’t give a shit about any group other than potential customers.
Aha. See, that explains the disconnect. Thank you.
I’m not… correcting you, I’m just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.
Drainage system = soo-er
Person who sews = soh-er
Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr
That’s typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I’m trying to correct the OP when I’m just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.
Whoa what? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
Bore rhymes with tour… no?
Feel like that’s as correct as we can get, as Americans.
It’s interesting to see how much of Canada has bitten the American onion over the past few decades.
