I got one of those scooters too but it is very unpractical. For example I can’t go shopping with it because it could be stolen.

My scooter has an app that lets you lock it. So scooter will only work for someone with the app.

And you just buy a bike chain. Easy.

But this scooter is obviously not for shopping unless it's enough to fit in a backpack.

Don't confuse a scooter with a moped. Moped is a road vehicle. Scooter is not.

Leo: "Always wear a helmet."

Hey now, you gotta look cool while riding the scooolterrrr. The sandals is to protect the cool look. The gloves were tucked away, it's getting hot out. So there you have it folks, all safety measures are out the door when picturing for the scoooolterrrr.

"Rational" religion sounds just like Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Hall.

Now I can get all the benefits of participating in religion, but still be rational

Gender or racial identity politics, Therapy culture or some sort of new age / neoadvaita / secular Buddhism hybrid seem to be forming into modern day religions among the increasingly areligious population.

Technically that's post-rational religion.

But even post-rational religion will turn into an obstacle. Religion is problematic regardless of how you spin it.

What is foundational in making religion problematic? Here is my list:

1. God as a separate entity, which makes God limited

2. Idol worship: Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha (among many).

3. Is not construct aware, does not understand social construction.

4. Misses laws of relativity, post modernism

5. Prioritizes religion as tool for human survival over addressing deep questions Consciousness

Imagine going for a walk and suddenly Leo Gura flies past you on a scooter with a sombrero.

Most people in religion have not thought this through. So essential.

Amazing. Quite impressive how that came together. That last bit with the head was like magic.

Oh man, that was pretty cool to see that in the end. Goes to show how illusions can seem convincing.

Where are you going to ride the scooter? Could you ride it on the Strip?

It sounds impossible, but that would be cool.

Don't you like riding a bike? That's also a great reason to go outdoors

These e-scooters or e-steps to be more precise are very dangerous even without weight on your back because the wheels are so small. In my country I can’t go into the city center with it anyway because there is police there. They are not allowed on the road. It is very easy to die on it. Even with a helmet. A helmet won’t help if a truck goes over you. I rather use my electric bike which is more practical and much safer.

Does it have any provenance?

Even if it doesn't, it would make a unique plant stand.

Provided it is not prohibitively expensive
