Man everything you wrote here sucks and I'm sorry you've had to experience all that. Riding isn't a "if" you crash, its a "when" you crash thing.

Even still, I find it preferable to being in a box isolated from the environment. Then it's just more detached television. Being a part of the environment helps me feel alive.

It's just trading one set of obnoxious noises for another and we'd be in a thread about that instead, y'know.

Clearly ppl don't like motorcycles here. Maybe they name should change to fuckcars+motorbikes.

I hate how loud the bikes gotta be. I'm right there with you, trust me. If there were more riders and people were just intuitively aware of bikes, like in SE Asia (it doesn't need to be a river of riders, just more commonplace than now), then I think we could move past it towards something rational.

Currently it's the best I can do. I'm a sub of this community, I fucking hate cars, hence, riding whenever possible as I don't have the option of public transit to cover my bases in my area. I've been the guy trying to keep riders conscious as they lay in the pavement, more than a few times. It's not a fond set of memories. And I really don't want to take a turn either.

Dude, I just ate. Don't make me ..🤢

It's creator owned. If they're on nebula, they have a stake in it, writ large

It FLABBERGASTS me that people get on internet forums knowing anyone could be from anywhere and have ulterior motives and not run everything thru the very basic filter of "qui bono", which is latin for Who benefits? The double tap is "Follow the money."

If the opinions put across lead to a conclusion that politically oppositional countries would find beneficial...guess what...you're talking to someone on their payroll. Or worse, you're talking to useful idiot doing the job for free.

I've called out hundreds of shills over the past few years. Hundreds. The only rational way to look at opinions online is askance.

There's a new word for you, it's personally my favorite, so remember it, use it, love it, spread it, and apply it to the internet. And tell others to do so as well.

Progress is never a flat line. Incrementalism only exist to erode our rights, not gain them. Rights are cemented hard and fast with a pen stroke. Incrementalism is the 10000 lawsuits chipping away at it one nib le at a time. 50 years of that and look, Roe gets overturned.

Which is why their trying to knee-cap the internet.

Experience guides my way; anything a politician says before or after "think of the children" has nothing to do with actual childrens safety and everything to do with undermining your constitutional rights

Every single time. Without fail.

Man that audio/video of Bibi saying genocide would continue and they were gonna level Gaza because the American people have given them a blank check and full support ..yea ..that was everything I expected from that fascist.

And as fascists (and corporatists; tho any difference is arguable) always do, he said the quiet part out loud, insinusting Israel's stretched past their compacity while invigorating the anti-genocide (which I would hope is all of us, but clearly isn't. I don't see how a moral person rationalizes killing 20000 children) center/left to bolder action against Biden.

The news getting out of Bibi's forces beating down the Orthodox in Jerusalem for protesting is indicative of a few things, mainly that dissent at home is greater than his propaganda machine can keep the lid on. His propaganda machine has been busch league, AT BEST. Obviously lying with AI generated photos. Idk about you, but I can't believe a single thing that comes out of a zionists mouth. If the world didn't stop their aggression, I think we all know full well they would've killed every single Palestinian down to the last.

Zionist has become as negative a word to me as Nazi. The only difference being pro-jew or anti-jew. I spit at them both.

Yea, I reject the naming convention here entirely.

Sexuality is a spectrum. And, like you are insinuating, where someone falls on that spectrum can change with time (sorry pray-away-gay folks, this can't be forced = simply put, we like what we like).

Where you land on that spectrum, NO ONE should give a shit about. Focus on your own genitals and the genitals you are trying to please and the extent of your total genital thinking should end there.

Sometimes there are lifetimes of experiences to explore in sexuality, for some people, it's cut and dry. All the options in between are just as ok as well. With that context I don't see justification for the impoliteness of not minding my own fucking business

This is an interesting take on group dynamics that I hadn't considered before. its like coming at it with a playbook. I can see it now..."OMAHA, OMAHA"..center proceeds to fumble, lol
