    That’s honestly a very odd reaction, for what it’s worth I meant it lightheartedly.

    Of course I think pedestrians and cyclists also deserve safety.

    I would like to point out however that a majority of incidents are drunk drivers who do not already have a device like that in their car, so it’s a tad bit absurd to indicate your hard line for legalization is that when it would only apply after the fact anyway.

      Sorry, that was too rude, I just got really upset… It’s odd, I’ve never really gotten angry at internet comments until now.

      I just wanted to point out my single issue with weed, which is more an issue with car centric infrastructure.

        Sorry for making you angry!

        Yeah, it’s hard, it’s not like you’re wrong that driving while baked is more dangerous then sober, but to your point I think the way our infrastructure is built where pedestrians are an afterthought if thought about at all, definitely contributes to make it even more dangerous.

        I wish we had more walkable/bike-friendly locations, it’s just not super likely given how large the US is

        Nothing you said was rude. In fact everything you said was correct on all counts. I think the other person was just joking

          I edited my comment. I said that I despised them and said “fuck you”. Not that bad, but I changed it to be a little less abrasive.

            thank you for explaining, I was a little confused about the exchange until I read this. I think the edit was valid and a positive but I just wish there was an edit history for better context sometimes.
