Socially awkward bon vivant. I’m just here to talk sports, bikes, music, maybe bitch a little bit, and make jokes. I hate bullies and punching down.

Yet if you dare to be a pedestrian with headphones on, society will shame you into the last century. Motorists are an entitled and unaccountable class.
I think it's very depressing that there is simply no social stigma against distracted driving. When people join a Zoom meeting from their cars everyone should be deriding that sort of behavior, and yet it's just accepted.
Ride in a bike lane and glance into every car that you pass and you'll see an extremely high percentage of people staring at their phones. It's terrible and frightening
