Do you think politicians care about rape? Chances are. If the numbers are higher, their crimes go unnoticed more.

Thank you. I noticed there was only one on there. Which is lucky because its the one that didn't send. But I spent way too long on.

Oh yeah, that definitely is weirder. It's like outside of busy hours. And before tea/dinner.

Just as a counterpoint. I don't know what americna nightlife is. But, in the UK, if there was a pizza/takeout place that inly opened after 12 until 5, it would be a great business idea. Chances are, there'll be a fuck ton of drunk people using it.

I preordered the s21 ultra as I need a new phone.

Only issues I have with it, is the battery starting to get a bit shit, but that's undoubtedly my own fault leaving it to charge to full every night with super fast charging on. And, the plastic on the back at the top left edge is cracked due to me dropping it more tines than I should have. However, I fixed this by actually getting a rubber case.

I've still got the original factory applied screen protector, and it's only just starting to show signs of scratches on it, and ever so slightly starting to peel on the top left corner.

I'm not sure what brands you have in America. But, ome brand that I've heard recommended is Alpinestar. Expensive, but again, can't say from experience. But they're quite good from what I've heard.

I wear near enough full RST, I got a trousers/jacket textile suit for about, I think, 320 usd. It has padded elbows, shoulders, and a back plate. And padding at the knee caps. I also have RST boots that extend higher up the legs. And some summer gloves with padded knuckles and leather around the palm and mesh on top. But, my other gloves were chasing really bad sweating.

I don't think the US and the UK use the same safety rating guide. But, as long as you're getting from a reputable brand, and getting protection for the most important parts, you should be okay. So the most important being hands, back, elbows, shoulders, knees, and feet/ankles. Don't use steel capped boots though. As one read those can cause more damage to the toes.

For a very rough price, I think you should aim for about 500 usd for the rest of the gear. Might seem excessive, but like I said, can be the difference between life and death.

Actually, some where i got confused was between textile and leather. But, whilst leather is a lot better as it won't tear as easily. Good textile would be more than enough unless you're going to really be breaking speed limits and going for track days.

here's 2 videos from a youtuber, he knows more than I do.

and the second

Don't worry too much about jumping straight for summer clothing and and cold clothing. Cold clothing will more than likely have thermals you can remove. And, with the exception of being stuck in traffic/at traffic lights, once you're actually moving you should get a nice breeze. And something I love about my rst jacket. Its got titty zips. If its a warm day, open them up, and it allows a lovely breeze to engulf your top half.

Do you have no boundaries?

It's 6 dollars for no reason. Do you just roll over for every coporation that wants to fuck you over?

So, 6 dollars a month just to unlock the original icon?

There's no way you can be serious about that one. What else does reddit premium offer? No ads and an icon? How can anyone justify the price for that. At least with youtube premium you get a music service as well as no ads.

I'm not sure on your mental health condition. But if there's one thing I've learnt from getting my big bike licence. Its done wonders for me.

And a little tip for you. Get really good gear. Even if you don't think you'll come off or if youre only going lut for half an hour. Anything can happen. And good gear, so jacket, trousers, gloves, helmet and boots can be the major difference between a few broken bones and agonising death/amputated limbs.

Oh and filtering ear plugs. I got some the other week and they've been a live saver. I can still hear my music perfectly fine. But they protect your hearing from the constant sound of the engine and all the wind.

Be safe out there, brother.

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.

Near enough 3000 hours on destiny 2 and g-mod in second with 992 hours. And third is advanced warfare multiplayer woth 699

 

I've been looking into the Fediverse and it seems like something I want to get more accustomed to. But iw as wondering if there was an email one based on it? I've got like Gmail and outlooks. But I also have a rarely used protonmail. So, I was wondering, is Proton good enough. Or is there a Fediverse alternative?

I understand all of this now. I just made a dumb mistake when looking at the Fediverse umbrella. Leaving it in hopes someone else may need it.
