What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?...
Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals... we're SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that's what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty

I work at a bike shop. This is the main reason why we refuse to service cheap, direct to consumer bikes. Plus, most use non standard parts, underpowered brakes, etc. They're non serviceable death traps
I feel terrible for that guy. Sadly most consumers don't know. They see one bike that's $1200 while most are $4000+ and they think they're getting a deal
Get something mainstream. As long as the bike has one of the following engine systems: Shimano, Bosch, Specialized, Mahle, TQ and a couple others I can't think of off hand. Any of the other weird ones are often impossible to diagnose and work on
Bafang motors are a crap shoot. They make a couple that are okay, but also a lot of low end, sketchy systems.
Electra has a couple of cheaper models that come in under $2k. While the motors themselves aren't unsafe, I think the bikes themselves have underpowered brakes and the like. Something like the Specialized Globe is $2800 and is a pretty solid, utilitarian platform.
Avoid Rad Power, Lectric, Super 73, and any of the other weird, fly by night direct to consumer Asian brands
I and others are over here with soy, egg and gluten allergies that restrict pretty heavily what I can eat. But go off since you have it all figured out, king.
I don't have that option. Big Ole difference. Maybe give everyone Lyme disease so they develop red meat allergies and we can talk
Okay. You want me to double down? I won't eat at vegan places most of the time. Here's the thing: vegetables are delicious. So why?
Vegans will support a vegan place no matter what and will talk it up as being amazing even if it sucks. I've been burned being told, "oh. That place is so good" and it's just a matter of vegans circling the wagons and propping up a place that serves a lazy impossible burger with fake plastic cheese on it. Y'all ain't accountable and it makes it difficult taking vegan food seriously. No wonder y'all's food has an inferiority complex

It's weird that we enjoy stimulating our fear response
