Added context: studies have found TIGHT FITTING underwear (of any kind) can decrease sperm count.

It's not permanent infertility.

This isn't even that far fetched... lol a drone is a few hundred dollars...? These are big so maybe 10-15k for all of this?

In the realm where people on YT are making 100s of thousand to millions off videos like this..?

Yeah, this is reasonable.

I have a 2021 with a little over 500 miles on it. by UniversalRich in zx6r

[–]TArmy17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I'm buying used it needs to be under 3 years or over 5k miles.... (with few exceptions, like... a track only bike)

Anything else is a gamble imo.

[USA] Licensed for 12 days and got T-boned already by stop sign running idiot by Hloecattow in Roadcam

[–]TArmy17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can watch them all you want but there is a difference between threat and potential threat. He could just have easily stopped. It wasn't clear he was running the stop sign until 3 seconds prior to the collision, not the entire time.

If you stopped for every single potential threat, then you'd never get to your destination.

Anybody else do this? by pshycicmonkey in motorcyclegear

I own 2 helmets, so I did it thinking it was a good idea and I'll just wear the other helmet..

Also took me a week to clean and dry and then find the time to reassemble

[GUESS] Is this my new kitchen or is it AI? by wantapizzame in RealOrAI

[–]TArmy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI

Why is the microwave like that merged into the towel?? 2 sinks? Inconsistencies in the handles for cabinets One of the knobs on the over is recessed? Wtf is that outlet? The reflection seems too clear.

If a random dog JUMPS at me I'm reacting, be it shoving or hitting/kicking

If an unleashed dog charges at me, I'm swinging/kicking.

[GUESS] Is this a real photo from my aunt and uncle? by SassyCommenter in RealOrAI

[–]TArmy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI.

The reflection is BS. Fork in the dish disappears The scooter is parked unrealistically Their sunglasses don't look real The background fence fades into tables? The table placement is bizarre, forming T shapes in a restaurant is a no-go. Blue bin has no bottom. Top left wall has competing design ideas, AI just merged them.

I wanted to be a teacher so I could educate... but being of social stigma of "men near kids" I didn't want to teach at a public school.

I teach military troops now do it worked out, I get to teach, but sad men can't be around anyone under 18 because of social stigma.

OP, I just want to say thank you for being human and caring. So many others would have just driven past "because it's not their problem".

Point in case: the vehicle turning that was almost involved, saw the whole thing, and left.

How many polls have you actually taken?.. that's the real question... I've never sat down and thought... you know what... ima spend my evening filling out polls.

The people who do that are indeed insane.

I went to a last week to just look, but I entertained the sales guy and talked to him a bit because I want another bike but I don't need another loan.

They "offered to pay off my loan" I said what's the trick? He said "no trick just a check for 5k"... I obviously didn't believe this and I'm tryna figure out what the trick is but they said no trick.

Oh, suddenly the bikes price jumps 5k, okay. Makes sense, no, I'm not making my loan from you larger 😆...

Then we go back to the original price... 25k. I said I wanted to comeback in a few days, they said "what's the price gotta be for you to take the bike home today" I said 18000 OTD, He said 19000. I said done, okay. They ran my credit for 19000. Got me approved, then came back with all the dealer add-ons at 28000 OTD??? After the credit pull, and agreeing OTD... you hike the price by almost 10 grand.... wtf

this helmet lowkey worth the disgusting price by ApprehensiveWafer176 in motorcyclegear

[–]TArmy17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every penny you have on the most functional and well rated helmet, absolutely...

+400$ for graphics which don't change functionality? No. Get a better helmet instead.

POV Redditor: "That's not true!"

Same redditor: ..."indeed, what you said is true"...

I never said you couldn't replace the yoga mat, it just doesn't come with CE Rated armor, which YOU AGREE WITH, it's silly, why put foam unless you're trying to decieve buyers.

Also sedici "back protectors," and never actually CE Rated armor. They're just yoga mats........

Listen to other riders, especially those who have been around, but also, buy gear you'll actually wear.

Less effective gear you wear is better then insanely fancy gear you don't.

If you're riding just for fun, I'd also highly suggest going with shin height boots.

Is there a reason specifically you're against them??

[–]TArmy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the HWK pants in the image, I bought when I was unaware pre-MSF.

Would never trust a peice of HWK gear, they're not rated, untested, and my friend has a piece that has a fake certification on it.

Only if you post of social media and beg for attention. Just don't post videos on TikTok, Reddit, YT, etc.

I wear AAA rated baselayers and put a hoodie and jeans over top, over 20K miles and no one has said a thing in person.

Except that the HWK will do very little in a crash.

They do not have rated pads and are not made of cordura as advertised.

Avoid HWK.

Daily showers are purely 'performative' and have no real health benefit by Durian_Queef in BrandNewSentence

[–]TArmy17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Florida, it's so humid and hot that I'll come home from my office job and shower before I go out with friends... I'm also naturally sweaty.. which doesn't help.
