    Yeah, if someone only ever comes around with misery and sadness, it is very difficult to find their company enjoyable. It can also cause someone to feel used if they aren’t receptive to listening to others’ struggles. Frankly, if it is that bad, recommending they seek therapy is probably the most helpful thing you could do for them.

    In the US, that isn’t the case. “White” is treated as the default, and everyone else is “othered.” It is short hand for “not Caucasian.” It has changed now, but even hair products for black hair were labeled with signs as the ‘ethnic hair’ section for the majority of my life.

    the main roads often lack even dashed bicycle lanes and feel really dangerous to ride on

    This does not, in fact, sound like a great spot for cycling trips. People come to a town without biking infrastructure and congest the pedestrian sidewalk with bikes, yet the townies are the assholes? That’s quite the take. Pedestrian infrastructure is not for vehicles.
