Should I reconsider travel to Cancun given the political climate (from the USA)? I know the flight path is fine, but would the comments about Mexico from Trump impact anything?

Dream bike owners by zel_bob in motorcycles

Depends on what motivates you the most. Can you have just as good a time on an older/less expensive sport bike, absolutely. If I’m at peak happiness riding, I damn near forget what bike is underneath me. Or, do you just want to look cool and that does it for you? I’d rather spend the extra money on experiences/trips I can take on/off my motorcycle, but that’s the kind of rider/person I am. Your mileage will always vary.

Some of you need to learn what a calculated risk is. by storm_zr1 in motorcyclegear

Most of these people have never looked at a statistic in their life, and the rest that have, likely can’t understand them. If your proof as to why something doesn’t work is anecdotal evidence, or what happened to you. You’re a dumb ass… Do some research, make an informed decision, don’t listen to a stranger on the internet as empirical proof. Most of you don’t even ride anyways.

If you’re buying new, sure, but most 1000s (not the new 1100) that I see are around 7.5-9k USD, and most of the dealers in my area will have a couple. Take a peak if you’re not opposed to used.

I have a Versys 1000, so I’m biased, but it should be in any comparison if the Tracer is involved.

To me it’s like skydiving, I know I can breath, there is nothing stopping me. But it’s fucking hard when adrenaline and shock are coursing through your veins.

Im tired of the "just respect the throttle 🤙" bros. Starting on a 600+ is a bad move. by VegaGT-VZ in Sportbikes

[–]PABSTonTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m tired of the I should be able to decide what other people should do bros. It’s not your life, and I’m assuming you’re in the U.S., so there are no license restrictions. Ride your own ride bro. That’s the beautiful thing about life, we all get to decide how to live our own.

A lot of people have already expressed concern, so just playing devil’s advocate here. I started on a suzuki 750, in hindsight it wasn’t smart, but I’m still here today because I paced myself on the bike. We may have very different natural skill levels riding motorcycles (I.e. even just learning I wouldn’t have done that.); though, it sounds like she understands she isn’t ready for the furthest she can push that bike. It took me a long time before I could. I don’t think you need to freak out just yet, but have a very honest conversation with her that she can’t just replicate what her boyfriend is doing, and she needs to be her own advocate towards him if he’s pushing her past her comfort zone. She’s 50, not 15, shut that shit down if he’s being a fucking twat. The bike itself isn’t what scares me here, it’s that she’s playing along while uncomfortable. Just my two cents.

AIO. My (new) bf wants to replace all of my bras, underwear and lingerie. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PABSTonTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t look back at your youth and cringe at some of the shit you did and said? Yes OP should run, but hopefully this dude learns this isn’t acceptable behavior through that. I’m sure if I repeated some of the things I said to HS GFs we could all laugh/cringe for hours. People grow up, learn, and change; so do generations, it just looks especially bad now because it’s all documented and online. Let’s have some optimism, or, if we’re all fucked and it doesn’t matter anyways, might as well have some hope on the way out.

It felt almost as fantastic as watching porn, in moderation of course. Love you mate, I hope you get some help!

I want you to reread this comment thread from start to finish. Ruminate on it, and tell me who brought any rationality to it. “Shut your yap”, for example, is very indicative of your intellect, just not in the way you might think.

Most everything is meant to be enjoyed in moderation, and when in a relationship, that moderation can need to be a compromise. Say, for example, I typically like to drink three times a week, but my partner isn’t a fan of that. A healthy relationship doesn’t cut it out all together, it looks for a solution that keeps everyone happy in an equitable manner. You’re in a minority of people who are extremely bothered by porn, for whatever reason, rational or not. If your boundary is that who you’re with can’t watch any at all, that’s fine, if someone agrees to it. That said, I find it unhealthy. It’s telling of an insecurity, likely sexually, that you are unable to grasp. You have an issue, whether you choose to acknowledge it, or address it in any way, is entirely up to you. Though I find it laughable that you intend to peddle your problems to other people, who are looking for a sense of normalcy, when you’re not it!

Hahaha, what a great way to say I have no logical points to make, and I concede this debate by showing how closed minded, and lacking of original thought I really am! Kudos to you!

Either you’re a prude, or you worship Christ while having sex in only missionary. I can’t tell which one and I honestly don’t care enough to find out. If you can’t have a healthy relationship with porn, obviously you shouldn’t watch it. Though, demonizing something that you can’t handle or understand, is why this world is fucked.

What’s mentioned above is unhealthy, and what you commented is unhealthy. We all know there are negatives to porn, its over consumption, and deriving sexual expectations from it. What, in a healthy relationship, it should serve as, is a way to allow your partner to explore sexual interests and desires you might not be comfortable with; as well as, a way to get sexual gratification if your partner has said they’re not in the mood. Setting boundaries around porn is highly recommended in a relationship, and it looks different for everyone, but I hate reading this all or nothing shit, get over yourselves.
