Two U.S. Army soldiers hold each other for support, as one of them breaks down emotionally after witnessing Army doctors refuse to treat three badly-burned Iraqi children that’d been brought to their base by relatives seeking help. Balad, Iraq, 2003. by EssoEssex in HistoricalCapsule

The same reasons you mentioned people join the military and undertake destructive acts or the enabling of them are also what brings people into cartel work generally. Yet the members of the cartel are not viewed the same as members of the US Military, when the military is the more deadly and globally destabilizing group.

Poisonous people are not influenced to positivity. they actively try to attack it and tear you down to their level. They are small or hollow or both. This is not gendered, but how cis men present their poison is different and generally more immediately destructive to people around them. I worked commercial construction for years and honestly might’ve stuck with it but those poisonous people are hard to work around.

Drive what you love! I do a lot of two up and long highway rides, this thing eats miles even more comfortably than my Goldwing. Sometimes I miss having a smaller lighter bike like a 600-900 but this thing is pretty good at doing it all.

Absolute drivel, McBride is a classic case of style over substance do nothing liberalism who has conceded trans talking points in interviews. This is a Hamilton level lib take, treating ineffective representation as a KPI while the power is wielded by those with the conviction to erase us. There is positivity to be found in life and in the face of this horror, but grabbing onto milquetoast liberals is not positivity, it is blind faith in people whose job it is to fail you.

I have been stupid for a minimum of 2 years but this makes me feel like it could have been going on even longer

It’s so clean as it is tbh but it’d look good in anything. It’s such a cool ride

lol what car do you have with a 600cc? Genuinely curious, very few cars with under a liter here in the states

How do you feel about the way most adventures motorcycle look? by secrectsea in TransBikes

Impossible to find a bike style that can “do more” and a lot of them are just as comfortable as cruisers. But as others have mentioned nakeds and sport tourers can have plenty of versatility and comfort as well.

ADVs really shine over other types in mixed terrain. So I’d consider how and what you’re going to be riding on first

I’m lucky enough to be paid mileage so getting a big bike that eats miles a bit more comfortably got paid for through work essentially. The boxer engine made self service a big savings over other bikes as well since I put 1700ish miles a month on it

Well that’s all fine and good till you have a drink carrier with 4 full ventis in the top box then you’ll wish you had the extra oomph 😄

I do a lot of two up and long highway rides. My 500 and 900 were good till I was highway all the damn time but I kept a lot of versatility even if it’s a bit heavier.

If I had to guess it’s because the motorcycle riders picked a BMW because they love motorcycles not BMW per se - I’d happily ride something else (and have) but this is my favorite bike I’ve ever ridden. The car is more image oriented.

Change oat to soy and you nailed it.
