@spiroferrer i dislike edc as much as the next guy but from my personal experience edc is not purely an insidious vehicle for backslapping (though that’s definitely a big part of it!) — i think they actually and delusionally believe they are doing good work.
@taste_of_tbone yeah and because there’s such a critical mass of cyclists in nyc, drivers are actually pretty respectful compared to my experience in suburban Massachusetts
There’s a young man who bags groceries at my local Kroger whom I have long tried to avoid. He seemed nice, but was agonizingly slow. But today, I ended up in his lane and found he’s improved markedly. So I looked at him and told him I noticed how much better he’s gotten. (Thread)

"White people shouldn't sit on the stoop in Bed-Stuy" sounds batshit crazy if you think of New York as a place where people live, but to hipster transplants it's an urban amusement park and that's like Aladdin walking around Space Mountain.
