These guys are insufferable. Even if they’re just doing it for money and don’t actually personally believe in this BS, pushing the ideology for profit is just as bad if not worse

maybe thats part of US car propaganda.

but to see bike riding without helmets as so common and possible, it blows my mind a bit bc ive been taught to see bike riding as inherently dangerous and unsafe

06.03.2026 12:39 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

bc it makes biking seem dangerous, more dangerous than driving even, and it then deters people from seeing biking as a mode of transport. 'you could die on a bike!' was a thought put in my head to just never try riding a bike unless it was in a controlled area

and in the U.S. as a kid with bike safety we're taught to always wear a helmet ofc, but i think the safety training went too far.

i was watching some videos about japan and how bike culture is really big there, and in a lot of the world people ride bikes as a mode of transportation, but no one uses bike helmets (at least theyre not that common)

β€œI see you’re struggling now and I’ll step up” a vice versa NOT β€œmy struggle is worse than yours help me now”

Making the village transactional (I won’t be there for you if you’re not there for me) turns it into β€œwho has it worse” rather than β€œI acknowledge your struggle and you acknowledge mine”

Not saying that those without kids don’t deserve a village either or that their own struggles are less than those with kids but rather that the saying is β€œit takes a village to raise a child” hence the village stepping up to raise the child

Without expecting the same friendship or relationship pre baby. And if you want to cut off a friend bc they had a kid and you can’t relate anymore that’s fine but don’t pretend it’s because β€œthey’re not a villager” when they just became a parent

WITHOUT THE EXPECTATION that they’ll be 100% there for you in this very vulnerable time in their life

But if you are childless and have a friend with a child (and you consider yourself a villager) you should be stepping up and helping and caring for your friend and their newborn

I do get that before if they weren’t engaged as a friend or family member fine, maybe they were never part of a village to begin with

How do you expect new parents to be villagers when they’re not sleeping at night? When they’re with a new born? It makes no sense to me

01.03.2026 22:22 πŸ‘ 7 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

But my issue with it is that it frames the village as wholly transactional. You get what you put in, when it shouldn’t necessarily be like that. New parents for example need a village bc they have babies and toddlers

01.03.2026 22:22 πŸ‘ 7 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

And I do think there’s a lot of entitled parents out there and when it’s your kid you’re biased bc they’re the center of your world but not to others etc

01.03.2026 22:22 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The argument is that the parents expect a village without being villagers aka not nurturing the relationships with those around them and thus they are undeserving of the village bc they’re not pulling their weight

01.03.2026 22:22 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Just my own thoughts but I’ve been seeing an interesting argument when it comes to opting out of β€œthe village” when it comes to new parents needing family and friends to step up
