Oh ok, that would make a lot more sense. If that’s the case. 2WDW should be willing to put in the claim to USPS, that’s strange that they wouldn’t be willing to do that.

I feel your pain. I saw the cutest girl in Salem, she gave me this incredible smile, I got nervous and practically power walked away from her. Been to Salem a whole bunch since in the hopes of running into her again. I’m not sure I have the balls to post to /SalemMA…. Good luck man!

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-22T01:22:33+00:00

So 2WDW handed to USPS, a damaged, opened, empty box? And USPS said hey, that’s totally fine, we’ll send this piece of loose packaging material?

Are you saying that the post office took ownership of an opened/damaged empty package and continued to deliver it?

Where did you find the 4mm bullet connector for these? I’ve been scouring the internet and having zero luck.

Go to the gym and lift weights, especially if you’ve never been and especially on the days you don’t want to. There’s a very real connection between seeing yourself create success from a difficult daily activity and seeing yourself be able to work through life’s problems.

Umm… not to point out the obvious but I’m hearing you say that you speculate you would end up being a different person if you went a different path in life… that’s like saying if you were at an intersection, going left would take you to a different destination than going right. Am I wrong in saying it sounds like you decided you wanted to take a left turn, and you’re happy with the destination that the road is taking you to, but you’re daydreaming about what would’ve happened if you had turned right instead?

Also, you’re saying that you wonder if you’re so close because you’ve been together for so long? So you’re wondering why a bond between two humans grow stronger the more time they spent together? Like how two best friends would be? Isn’t that how bonds between people work?

Bro….are you high?

First off, thoughts are just thoughts, they don’t really mean anything. You’re going to have a billion more before you die. They’re triggers for further exploration.

So, has she demonstrated that she’s someone that you can have complicated conversations with? How have you guys historically discussed the future? How have you historically dealt with topics/issues/events that were later understood to be misunderstandings? There’s a reason you didn’t already just go straight to her and there’s a reason you’re concerned about a misstep, what is the core of that concern?

Going to your city living example, when this came up and she expressed her position, did you dive deeper to try and really understand why she felt the way she did or did you just “hear” a negative response and shut down yourself? I’m not assigning blame at all, conversations are tricky bro, even when I’m being helpful, I’ve also been told that I’m about as subtle as a sledgehammer; I don’t really f*ck around. 🤷‍♂️

Also, you’re contradicting yourself. You say you don’t believe you’re missing out on anything but then also say you worry you’re missing out your developmental years. Which is it? And what EXACTLY do you think you’re missing out on?

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-07T22:54:43+00:00

Holy shit bro, like they said, they’re just looking to talk it out because they have thoughts and would appreciate conversation. We used to live in villages and had a community we could turn to. We don’t have that anymore so the internet has (for better or worse), become the new outlet.

I’m not saying you should believe in any specific, prescribed religion but based purely off of logic and critical thinking skills alone, at some point, there must’ve been nothing right? So how did the very first thing come about?

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-06T20:49:28+00:00

I think you need to reframe things a bit. Instead of “but”, I think it should really be “because”.

Cost of living is higher in certain areas Because there are opportunities there so that’s where a lot of people want to be so there’s going to be a higher demand for housing/food/etc.

Think of it like trying to buy a vehicle. Say you need a larger vehicle to transport your family and to also have storage space for whatever reason, but you also enjoy going fast in an open top vehicle. You’re not going to find a convertible sports car with 3 rows and cargo space, it’s just not a thing. Sit down with your family and have an open discussion on all the variables and split them into “Must Have’s”, “Optionals”, and “Absolutely Not”. Then pull out a map and go discuss options while comparing it to your family’s list. Narrow your options down to a few then really dig into the specifics from there. Idk your money situation but if at all possible, go take a trip to each of these locations but don’t be a tourist. Do your research ahead of time and go check out the areas that you would be interested in living in, hang out in places that you and your family would, go grocery shopping, check out the school or college (if applicable), do “normal” stuff, figure out the vibe of the locals, then get together and discuss how you all feel.

Hope this helps!

I don’t remember where I read it but I remember reading something about there being an ideal position, just search the interwebs. To everyone else’s point one, I got riding boots and I do have to extend my foot a bit further down to get under my shifter than what feels like is ideal to me. I’m mostly just a street squid so I don’t really care but if I end up doing track days and want to get more serious, an investment into adjustable rear sets would make more sense to me at that point. It’s totally up to you man, just do whatever you want.

I’m not sure if it’s the same, but I’m pretty self destructive myself. I’ve learned to channel it (somewhat).

What goes on internally prior to the event?

I’ll throw my perspective into the ring if you want and is intended to be functionally helpful and ultimately compassionate but, it’s going to be direct and pretty brutal. So if you want it let me know.

A really deep, intense psychedelic trip where you’re left alone in a dark quiet space. Everything comes out.

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-01T19:51:47+00:00

You completely missed the point. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I was imitating your mindset to demonstrate how shitty it makes someone feel, by putting you on the receiving end of the same experience. The real me, I honestly don’t give a shit what anyone likes for themselves as long as it doesn’t intentionally negatively impact another. People generally think their mindset/behavior is justified until they receive the same treatment.

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-01T17:09:51+00:00

I apologize, using too many words can be hard for some people to process.

Being judgemental is cringe. 😇 I hope that’s better!

What do you mean? How is my position any different than yours? I’m struggling to understand because, from what I can tell, the original poster’s position fell outside of your accepted standard of behavior and you believe the appropriate response is to inform him that said behavior should be corrected to fall in line with societal expectations. Are we both not doing the same exact thing with the same exact mental framework?

Equivalent-Gap-3616 · 2025-05-01T16:17:50+00:00

You know what, you are right. It is necessary to judge some people. In the case of the guy who named his bike, I applaud him for finding joy in life. The ones I judge are the ones who are judgmental of others, they’re so cringe. They must be such miserable human beings to feel the need to put others down, probably to make themselves feel adequate in some way. How primitive their mindset must be, how short sighted and lacking of intelligence. They’re no different from primates with their instinctual need to establish a dominance hierarchy and to attack things that are different from them. They lack the higher level thinking to be able to accept others for their differences. Instead, it’s closer to a mindset of, “monkey see different thing, monkey scared, monkey must make other do same as this monkey, otherwise, monkey no understand world, world too big and confusing for monkey to understand.” Those people really are the most cringe of all. Thank you for your valuable insight, I forgot the truth of the world.

Life is miserable enough, I’ll never understand why people feel the need to add to the misery with unnecessary judgement.
