<p>>I fixed my twitter feed by unfollowing anyone the first time something they did resulted in me being upset.<p>I'm not sure this is a good thing. I agree that you shouldn't be constantly hammering yourself with upsetting things but I don't think the polar opposite of avoiding anything you disagree with or get upset about it mentally healthy either. I think this could lead to you just being overly sensitive to anything that makes you a little emotional. Although, maybe you get enough "disagreement" in you regular life to balance it out.<p>The best option is to learn how to better deal with you emotions. For younger generations that aren't going to be able to avoid social media as well this might be the only option for them since that IS their entire social interaction in many cases. It's definitely harder though and the way social media berates you constantly maybe our minds aren't able to handle such a barrage.</p>

<p>No, it's ridiculously overpriced for the equipment and content. Buy a real bike and go outside. It's way more interesting and better for you.<p>If you HAVE to stay inside for bad weather or something get a trainer for that bike. There are several youtube channels/patreon channels that film their mountain-biking/road biking and you can put those on and feel like you're riding along if you need that aspect.<p>I feel like the type of people that fall for these electronic gadgets typically don't like exercising and are hoping they'll somehow get more motivated with digital content. Invariably, after a few months they quit using it just like every other exercise program they've started.</p>

<p>I guess you didn't read the rest. The fact that European drivers also don't care about living quarters was another big reason. Additionally, regardless of whether there's a legal length requirement in the EU I would assume drivers would still choose the cab over engine design due to maneuverability in tight urban settings (also mentioned in the article).<p>I quite liked the other information provided. You suggesting that an article should contain less information seems quite silly. You know what you could do? Don't read the rest and you won't have an issue....</p>

<p>>Defending the valor of a self-proclaimed idiot and the guy that thinks "there's no such thing as climate."<p>Nope, this is your problem and most likely the reason you're having a hard time grasping the issue at hand.<p>I'm defending the right to speak without the fascist woke mob trying to silence it. I suggest you do some critical thinking and figure out why this is such an important thing in western society. This right applies to ALL or it applies to no one.</p>

<p>Then why does he care if it's on spotify? Bit of cognitive dissonance going on here eh?<p>This is absolutely Young pulling an authoritarian "You're not allowed to hear things I don't like" move. There's really no other way to spin it. Disagreement with people is great, to then take the next step and say that others should not get access to the things I do not like.... well that's just a step another rung up the authoritarian/fascist ladder. It's a elitist control freak mindset.<p>It's so opposite of what his music is supposedly about you have wonder whether he's just been a sellout this whole time.</p>

<p>>They can have Rogan or Young.<p>That's an ultimatum with markedly authoritarian need for control over what others have access to on a platform. Thanks for proving my point.<p>>Note that the primary demand is to remove his music.<p>No it's absolutely not or he would not have ended with the ultimatum. IF what you're saying was true he wouldn't have needed to mention anything about Rogan, he can pull his music whenever he wants.<p>I'm not sure if you're just naive or you've haven't been properly taught reading comprehension and critical thinking but you're just dismissing half of what Young is saying. I guess the last option is that you're being malicious for some reason. Which is it? I'd have more respect for you if you just admitted you like his authoritarian attitude because you don't care for Rogan.</p>

<p>No, he stated he wants another individual removed from that service and then tried to force his authoritarian attitude by giving an ultimatum. You're negating a pretty important part here bud.<p>Full Definition of authoritarian<p>1 : of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority<p>Certainly seems to meet the definition to me. Are you sure you know what it means?</p>

<p>Yep I know this might be hard to understand for people that have been brainwashed into this attitude in the last decade but trying to silence ideas you disagree with is an authoritarian stance. You are on the same wavelength as religious zealots that burn "evil" books when you do this.</p>

<p>Good. Besides the obvious reason that Rogan draws far more money than washed up Neil, I'm sick of these authoritarians. If you disagree with people then state your opinion and factual objections. This idea that you should whine and cry until they get silenced is getting old. It's one of the most anti-American things I can think of. People are sick of it.<p>Additionally, coming from a dude that based his entire career on singing about the atrocities of government overreach, mob mentality etc. it's pretty disgusting to see him go this direction. It makes me think he really had no fucking clue what he was singing about and was just doing it because it seemed cool at the time.</p>

<p>>Having read some of the other replies now, it's slightly disturbing how many of them draw to one of two conclusions: there's something chemically wrong with you, or you've made a massive mistake in life and you need to immediately change every decision you've made up to this point.<p>Yeah I get tired of this response. YOU NEED DRUGS NOW! No, life is often boring and mundane. You will not be happy every second of it, if you were you wouldn't even know what happiness is because it wouldn't stand out. The solution is to force yourself to do something, whether you feel good is irrelevant. Motivation rarely appears on its own, it's a result of action. You do not wait around to feel motivated.<p>The problem is modern society gives you this option when for centuries waiting to feel some sort of innate internal motivation wasn't an option, you did what you had to for survival whether you felt like it or not.</p>

<p>Sounds like you need to move to a lower col area, figure out your finances, or change your standards then. My wife is a teacher and I make pretty close to what she does. We own a house, we don't have any loans, we make a perfectly adequate living that allows us to do almost everything we want to do. Teachers are not living in squalor. They get very good retirements and plentiful time off for family.<p>The solution to your problem is not force a certain section of the population to work and give their salary to you so you get to "pursue your dream". Why do you get to do what you want while others are forced to keep your power on and your sewer system working daily?<p>Decisions have consequences, if you want something then you will need to sacrifice in certain areas.</p>

<p>To continuously call them out on their bs and refuse to bend to them when they resort to childish name calling. "I don't care that you think I'm racist, your opinion is irrelevant."<p>As you can see they've already started flagging me for just mentioning the facts of what they're doing.

<p>>When I say I'm anti-work, I mean exactly that: People should not have to work to live. What you hear is: "Nobody should ever do any work." That's not what anyone is saying. We're saying that people should be free to do work that is fulfilling and necessary, not busy-work created to keep the 40 hour work-week.<p>Sorry but this has to be the dumbest most elitist sheltered things I've heard.<p>You ARE free to do what you want. What you are not free to do is demand that others support you in this endeavor.<p>Is your idea that policeman, firefighters, emt, doctors, teachers, farmers and the the plethora of other jobs necessary to sustain modern life should work while you are allowed go off and spend your day in hot yoga classes while they support you????</p>
