Yeah, I used to live on a 2-lane rural highway. I know what they're like.

>I get it, r/fuckcars and all that, but people have to get to work from rural areas somehow.

I get it, but people have a right to leave their house and exercise where they live. Cursing at them and blaming them for the poor infrastructure is nonsensical. They're not any more responsible for the lack of sidewalks or road shoulder than you.

Dealing with other kinds of traffic--whether that's car, pedestrian, cyclist, horses, or tractors is part of life and part of using the transportation system. Hating everyone who uses a different means of transport than you because it mildly inconveniences you is beyond childish and selfish.

Jogging and cycling on the road is literally what it's there for, when sidewalks and cycling paths don't exist alongside.

It's not suicide for them, it's homicide when someone kills them because it was just too darn inconvenient to drive in a way thats safe for all forms of traffic and arrive home 5 minutes later.

I agree. I can't tell you how many times I've driven down many streets for whatever reason in the evening/night, and MULTIPLE people are walking across the street in dark clothing, not under a streetlight.

And don't even get me started on people who obviously were never taught the rules of the road, and that people who ride bikes are supposed to follow them the same as those of us who drive cars.

I understand very well. I’ve been downvoted to the ninth inferno for stating as much. Breeding is absolutely important in a dog’s temperament and behavior. My labs retrieve and live for a splash in the lake (especially after a downed duck). My Bernese mountain dog wants to be at my feet at all times and loves to be a goofy, playful companion. Hundreds of years of selective breeding produces outcomes
