bikes kill pedestrians

Exceedingly rarely, almost to the point of not happening. You know this is a braindead argument.

ThatsThePoint.jpg.

Just like cars killing people on right hand reds. It's a very low occurring incident.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

False. In my city right on red kills people every year, but there has only been one bike that killed a pedestrian in 40 years and even that seemed like a weird fluke if you read about it

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I guess you'll just ignore the link I provided 🤷‍♂️ definitely feels more truthy your way

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I should probably accept your link as reality instead of the facts that I know for sure

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The link to actual data is less reliable than your feelings on what facts you know for sure?

..... Yeah, you should be accepting statistical data over what you feel you might know

What a stupid response. Do you think right wing dipshits use statistical facts?

You sure youre not the right wing troll?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've seen this idiot over and over. I don't really care what you think is stupid.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can see what ever you like as often as you like, your feelings arent grounds to dismiss actual recorded deaths per year.

Youre implying the government is hiding the deaths of people to protect "Big Right Turn." You sound insane.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Great you made stuff up about me good for you

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 10 months ago

Alright, youre clearly some maga wacko having a meltdown.

You let us know when you come down off whatever youre on, and you can remember the comments you typed

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Truthiness. You just feel it's right!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No you right wing troll I walk around my city and see white bikes which symbolize people killed by morons like you, new ones all the time. I see the articles about who they were as people. And I've also read about the only person killed since the 80s by a bike. She was an elderly woman.

No one gives a single fuck about your efforts to make sure the world stays terrible. Leave Lemmy.

Random user who shares their unverifiable anecdotes or actual research. Tough choice.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

I'm not trying to convince any carbrains of shit, not sure how you got the idea

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lololol whatever you say. I post data from the nhta but you know better I'm sure. Right wing troll 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lololol you are literally arguing over data from the nhta, a government agency designed and traffic safety, and that makes me right wing? Lemmy in a nutshell. I call for pragmatic policy and get screeched at as a trumper. Unhinged delusional behavior, arguing against the nhtsa.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

No one arguing good faith has ever used the word "screech". All you're doing is being as contrary as you can be, as anyone with thousands of negative karma would undoubtedly be doing. you must have a bridge to guard somewhere? Go do that

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Whatever you say. It's crazy how chunks of lemmy acts when you post data that doesn't fit the narrative. You are calling others right wing trolls.

"Anyone I don't agree with is a trumper". Really unhinged internet tough guy behavior.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Negative 1963 karma speaks for its-fuckin-self.

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, there ARE a bunch of crazies on here who don't like it when I point out these things. I completely agree.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You say a bunch of moronic antagonistic bullshit, doesn't matter if 1/10 times you near being right.

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

👌👍 what ever gets you through the day!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What gets me through the day isn't being a contrarian for the sake of it alone. Great job on that though, everyone hates you and that's somehow....good or something. What an impressive show of extreme douchiness

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ahahaha

I said it's dumb policy and posted the data to back it up and you are just living fights calling others trolls and having a melt down.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I need a degree in psychology to see that a weirdo seeking mass disapproval from strangers has some sort of diagnosable condition colloquially known as being a troll
