BIKE GOOD VS BIKE BAD

The bicycle, as we know it today, has a fascinating evolution that began in the 19th century. Although the first attempts to create a two-wheeled vehicle date back to the late 18th century, the first practical design appeared in 1817 by German inventor Karl Drais. This vehicle, called the "draisine" or "walking machine," had no pedals; it was powered by pushing the feet against the ground.

In 1860, Frenchman Pierre Michaux added pedals to a larger front wheel, creating the famous "velocipede" or "boneshaker," so named because of how uncomfortable it was on cobblestone roads. Later, in the 1870s, the "penny-farthing" emerged, a bicycle with a huge front wheel and a much smaller rear one.

The modern bicycle began to take shape in the 1880s with the invention of the "safety bicycle," which had equal-sized wheels and a chain system to drive the rear wheel. This made it much more stable and accessible. In 1888, John Dunlop invented inflatable tires, which significantly improved rider comfort.

Since then, the bicycle has evolved in design and materials, becoming one of the most popular and sustainable modes of transportation in the world, used for both leisure and daily commuting.

IT’S ME, ME, ME, AND THEN ME AGAIN

Why do so many people feel the need to share everything they do on social media?

For many, the urge to post every aspect of their lives online stems from a desire for validation or approval. The "likes" and comments serve as a kind of positive reinforcement that makes them feel good about themselves. Each interaction acts like a small dose of dopamine, making it hard to resist the urge to keep sharing.

Social media also allows people to build and display an idealized version of their lives, a sort of digital showcase where everything looks perfect. This might be driven by a narcissistic tendency, where the goal is to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. The pursuit of that "perfect" public image becomes a form of self-affirmation, even if it doesn’t fully align with reality.
It’s a way to compete with others, trying to prove that their life is more interesting or exciting. In many cases, the need to share becomes an endless cycle of comparison and competition, where what really matters is not what is actually lived, but how it is presented to the world.

IDEAS THAT NEVER END WELL

There are certain ideas that, no matter how hard we try, never end well. We’ve seen it countless times—being towed by a car while riding in a cart is one of those decisions that inevitably leads to disaster. What makes you think this time will be any different? Because the cart is a mobility scooter? Do you really think the laws of physics will make an exception for that? Or maybe you’re hoping God will step in and save the day because He thinks you’ve had enough? This is like thinking a tiger won’t eat you just because you’re a vegan.
Some ideas are just doomed to fail, and this is definitely one of them.

I KNEW I COULDN'T TRUST YOU

There are people you can tell from the very beginning that you can trust. You don’t need to know them for long to feel the security they give off. Maybe it’s the way they talk, their attitude, or the sense of calm they create. These are the people you can relax around, knowing they won’t let you down. Sometimes trust doesn’t need grand gestures—it’s just something you feel from afar, as if their very being speaks for them.

And then, there are those you wouldn’t bet a penny on.

AI FAILURES IN PORN

No matter how advanced AI becomes, it cannot detect its own mistakes or errors without human intervention. This is because it lacks its own "judgment" and only follows preprogrammed patterns and data. A human must point out when the AI has made a mistake, providing corrections or feedback. AI does not have self-awareness or the ability to discern whether what it generates is correct or incorrect; it simply responds based on the information it has been trained on or has access to.

I SAW THAT GOING DIFFERENTLY IN MY MIND VOL85

They say experience is the best teacher, but if there’s something even smarter than learning from our own mistakes, it’s learning from the mistakes of others. Life is full of lessons, and sometimes those lessons come in the form of falls, bad decisions, or simple errors that others have made before us.

Why suffer the consequences of a poor choice when we can observe, analyze, and learn from what others have already experienced? Watching someone trip allows us to avoid the same obstacle. Seeing someone make a bad decision teaches us to choose a better path. Each mistake made by others is a learning opportunity, and if we can avoid making them ourselves, all the better.

Remember that behind every fall, there’s a lesson, and if we learn from what others have gone through, we’re one step ahead. Take advantage of that wisdom!
