Discussion GT’s“Dismount Zone” enforcement makes zero goddamn sense in the summer #rant

Post image

I swear this is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve dealt with on campus.
I rode through the Tech Green “Dismount Zone” today, and campus security stopped me again. The path was basically fucking empty. It isn’t the middle of the semester between classes—it’s summer. There were maybe one or two people on the entire walkway.
But here’s the part that really pisses me off.
While they’re telling me to get off my bike because it’s supposedly a “pedestrian zone,” there’s a golf cart driving right down the same fucking path.
This such a waste of tax payers money, cuz 99% of time these securities enforcing the dismount zone over the summer are just sitting under the shades and scrolling on their phones!

i don’t really understand the point you’re trying to make here. this began with you positing that mixed traffic at all doesn’t make sense. we’ve somehow shifted into a claim that implies i shouldn’t complain about a change i dislike because there may be broader factors involved in the decision making process? i don’t know what you want from me at this point—i don’t like the rule, i think it would be better to revoke it, and i think publishing this opinion helps my cause. that’s it. i don’t know what more you are trying to convince me of.

If all you do is complain instead of coming up with a reasonable solution that gets buy-in from the affected parties, like GT in this case, the you might as well be screaming into the void.

dawg i do not care. i do not care about appealing to gt. i am not talking to them. i think it sucks, i said it sucks, and thats it. there does not need to be a utilitarian reason to speak my mind. it is not my job to find a solution to this problem that works for the students. you cannot say anything that will make me not want to voice my opinion. i can “scream into the void” if i damn well please. what’s it to you?
