Yeah I'd say that's got to be triggering to hear. How do you respond to "advice" like that normally? Assuming it's from someone who actually knows your brother.

Completely agree with this. They operate their drive through lines like a very well-greased machine. It's extremely efficient and customers obviously have responded well to it. Would hate for CFA to ever militarize, they'd be a well-fed and very well-ordered militia.

Actually that makes a lot of sense in context of that scene, considering all the genetic struggles belters have to deal with growing up in low G.

Bionics. In the show, The Expanse there's a scene where a guy who had his arm cut off in a space accident is trying to get his company to not cheap out and to pay for a bionic arm replacement instead of regrowing him a new arm. The bionic arm being greatly more superior than a normal arm.

Lately, robotics and prostheses are becoming so advanced I can see this as happening to where people will eventually want artificial designer parts over their own.

Thats unfortunate. I know we have sound ordinance laws in some jurisdictions here in the US but I think most go largely unenforced. That is unless it's a state that requires safety checks.

Europe does seem to be getting more non-biker friendly. I sort of recently found out that EU emission standards are kind of throttling supersport (i4) production in the US. A golden lining is that I think there's a focus now on making different types of bikes to fill that void.

I have a bit of a theory on this. I think most people associate lane splitting/filtering with sport bikes. Makes sense because they're narrowers than cruisers/touring bikes, so they can take advantage of this more than those riders. So it can be a negative association type thing where its catering to squids, and that's not going to go over well in states where people have stronger feelings about protecting an Americana roots.

Purely conjecture on my part tho.

Crap, that's not good. I think Texas has one of the lowest motorcyclists per capita though so I can see how it'd be difficult to advocate for legalization.

That's the magic right there - with the banh mi.

I disagree - one hole for everything. Just imagine how many less medical clinics you need to go to.

Yes, I'm American.

This is so fucked up but yeah I can see them settling for research on a drug or treatment that just keeps you from reaching Stage 4 to where you become a lifelong consumer of said medical company.

Omg yes this absolutely. I eat to nourish myself and survive and am punished randomly by self-inflicted mouth wound that lasts for days/weeks => evolutionary failure at its finest.

Insult to injury when the food is actually something healthy like a salad instead of fries.

I had to look this up, and this is so nuts, but there are currently 12 states that stilll have sodomy laws as of late 2023: Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas.

I think a lot of people might not realize that sodomy is often legally defined as anything that is not PIV intercourse. So most foreplay and obviously any sex practiced by homosexual couples. I absolutely don't get why there isn't a stronger push to get rid of this and other dumb laws against offenses that are widely committed and/or are hard to enforce.

Well I guess this one kind of makes sense in this current state of political turmoil.
