Then there's the whole treatment section, where it's pretty clear they intend to drop a psychopharmacologic bomb on these patients. I'm no doctor - but I am *very* skeptical that prescribing patients back to health is as straightforward and effective as this makes it sound?

So, I just looked into what BC's requirements actually are to commit someone to "involuntary care" under the Mental Health Act - and I gotta say, it's so general and broad that it's kinda freaking me out a bit...

There's ~6 million automobile accidents in the United States every year.
If anyone wants to write an article "reckoning with the dangers" out there - the REAL ones, it'll start (and end) with that.

Almost nobody realizes they're responding to an AI.
Our FB community group was already bad, with an absentee admin, spam, etc - but this is the most dystopian shit I've ever seen.

So, I almost got killed on my ride last night...
I was heading north on Boundary Road, after the bike lane just ends, and dumps you out into the right lane of the street. Luckily, that lane is mostly empty, as it's a turning lane back at Lougheed. It was after 8pm, so traffic was light...

This bit from south Richmond makes me sad, with the red blip back up to Westminster Hwy and back. There's actually a railway line through there, and a road (see circled in second image), and I was kinda hoping they'd be able to negotiate something...

There's a "Maquabeak Park Connector" path under the bridge, but the First Nations signage makes entry feel questionable. I'd love to see that clarified as well.

Fifth (last but not least): Riding west on Powell (before the multi-use bike path starts), cars were passing me, but some crazy car decides the car in front of him wasn't speeding enough, so pulled *right* to pass, and almost knocked me to the curb while doing so (it pulled BARELY in front of me).

Fourth: north on Boundary (after bike lane just ends and dumps you into the road), I needed turn left (blue arrow), hand signaled, a nice car (middle lane) slowed, I merged left in front of it, but *2nd* car behind it didn't know why it slowed, pulled out left ACCELERATING RIGHT AT ME (red)!

Third: North on Sea to River bikeway where the multi-use-path down Gilmore crosses Canada Way (blue arrow), with oncoming cars turning right (red arrow), and when the light turns green, the first car has time to go while I start crossing, but then the subsequent car following it almost hits me...
