Hey Steve, can you turn off the fire, and gun fountain? It killed 5 employees this week.

IT'S MY FREEDOM TO HAVE THE FIRE AND GUN FOUNTAIN TURNED ON!

Steve, your killing people, you don't have the right to kill people. So here it is, either turn it off, or you can get the fuck out of this job.

This is why we have vaccine mandates, no it's not your choice to kill people with a virus.

Get vaxxed, or get fucked.

Cyclists Break Far Fewer Road Rules Than Motorists, Finds New Video Study

A new study from the Danish Road Directorate shows that less than 5% of cyclists break traffic laws while riding yet 66% of motorists do so when driving. The Danish Cycling Embassy, a privately-funded NGO, puts this down to visibility: law breaking by cyclists is “easy to notice for everyone” but transgressions by motorists, such as speeding, are harder to spot.
