Bluntly: because we who could be competing against it, aren’t doing-so, allowing the parasites & valueless to rule the younger-minds’ attention, & therefore evolution.

( in my case the excuse has been un-destroying my health, including enough PTSD that I spent 1/3-decade homeless out in the bush, putting my unconscious together enough that I could then survive living among humans, & since then, working on finishing-the-work.

Soon, soon, I’ll be contributing: nearly finished the 42y+ hellwork : )

A psychiatrist explained to me, years ago, that women are much more likely to attempt suicide, but by using less-violent means, are much less-likely to succeed in terminating their lives.

Males are less likely to try it, but more likely to succeed.

Girls/women usually try pills, overdoses, guys usually try something violent.

See the “more suicides are tried by girls & women” part of the equation, not just the “more successful suicides are by males” part of the equation.

( I’ve faint marks from when I opened both wrists with a scalpel-blade, when I was about 10yo, and haven’t had the guts to intentionally make-absolutely-certain of my termination … perhaps-ever.

Both parts of the equation I’m identifying are offensive/wrong, and mis-representing of what’s actually going on, as various “activist” factions do, is what I’m attacking. )

Pinion seems to be the ones who are getting it right, to me:

I’d look only at bikes based on their geartrain.

( I’m sticking with derailleurs, simply because that’s what I got, but … yeah, I can really see switching & ditching the grease on the pants bullshit )

Radio-signal doesn’t go through metal, so sticking such a thing inside a metal bell blocks the signal, except where no metal is.

ie, if the top half of the bell is metal, and the lower is plastic, the signal can only get out through the lower-half.

Test the product, to discover how it actually performs, please.

There are many bogus products in our world.
