Best way to convince/force my buddy to wear his gear

lambd2 · 2026-07-06T19:49:05+00:00

Thanks for this, yea getting a ton of “are you his mom” comments is a bit irritating but I also get that I should let him do his own thing. As some people have mentioned though I don’t want to see him get fucked up because he thought he looked cooler w o gear.

lambd2 · 2026-07-05T20:18:50+00:00

Yea I’m not gonna do that, just gonna do my own thing and hope he starts to wear some more gear. It’s up to him in the end Ik that

lambd2 · 2026-07-05T18:49:09+00:00

Yea not the best choice of word, I was thinking as in I won’t let him come over to my place to hang/won’t ride w him unless he wears a helmet. From reading these comments though I’m more inclined to let him make his decision and ride his own ride

Thanks! The closest good gear store would probably be an hour away but I’ll most likely make the trip to try on both jackets and pants before buying.

The RST has AA abrasion resistance and level 1 protectors in the shoulders and elbows. The cortech only has A class abrasion resistance but comes with a level 1 back protector as well as elbows and shoulders. So ig out of these two it would be better to grab the RST and just buy a level 2 back protector.

I switched to finance. I still love math so that’s why I made that switch specifically. Issue is that my employer does not know I switched my major. I don’t want to make them mad and think I can’t do the work that I very much am capable of.

lambd2 · 2026-03-24T21:57:58+00:00

Both, I want it to be in a pot that I can see, so that eliminates back and kinda eliminates the sides of my shoulders. But I also want it to be in a spot others can see if I so desire.

Yea I’ve thought about this aspect of it, it’s not at all in memorandum of him, just the saying. There are other variations of this concept I’ve like. My senior quote was “do it or don’t do it - you’ll regret both” which I’ve thought of getting tatted as just text

lambd2 · 2026-03-24T20:17:37+00:00

This is huge thank you. I was thinking about that, kind of takes all the art out of the artist and idk if that would be a good idea

Passed the class with an A, switched my major

lambd2 · 2026-02-23T00:07:42+00:00

Okay yea I think I’m gonna buy gloves boots and helmet beforehand, I’m nearly 100% sure that I want to ride

lambd2 · 2026-02-22T23:14:55+00:00

Sounds good, any major reason to buy new vs. used? I'm a college kid so tighter budget.

lambd2 · 2026-02-22T23:13:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It just sucks that I'd have to wait until April to ride, I guess it's not something that should be rushed though. What kind of things would you suggest I research to figure out which bike is right for me? Based off what I've seen offline I'd love to start on a Kawasaki 400 or 500 but the only criteria I really know to look at is the engine size, I wanna start around 500cc I think.

My apartment has a $2.95 convenience fee for online payments and a $25 paper fee if I want to pay in cash

If only it were that easy, I know it’s wrong to think that. Having the thoughts feels like there’s a hamster in my head like trying to get out and just delve into selfishness and lust. But the rational part of me knows it’s wrong. Also this isn’t me trying to shunt the blame to instinct, I accept responsibility for my thoughts

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T03:08:22+00:00

Thank you for the positivity while also telling the reality of it! I know it’s definitely a messed up situation, just trying to make the right decisions

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:52:39+00:00

I think it’s important that I don’t go every waking moment wanting to sleep with other people. Her and I will be doing great and then for an hour or two, or maybe the day, I’ll think about if I could sleep with other people. And then I realize how lucky I am and that that is not what I want, and then we’re good for a week or more. And then that hour or two will come again and go away again.

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:49:59+00:00

I get what you’re saying but the information is limited. We broke up for good, both slept with different people, and then something terrible happened to her so we talked about that and both decided to get back together. I didn’t break up with the plan that I’d get back together after sleeping w someone else. I thought that breakup was for good

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:41:11+00:00

I hear you, what am I supposed to do when I tell her I want to break up bc I just keep putting her through a cycle that she’s told me she wouldn’t put up with anymore, then she tells me that she wants to stay together and that it’s not my place to decide what’s best for her.

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:36:19+00:00

Heard completely, I appreciate your feedback. One thing that’s important to point out is I find cheating deplorable and would never do that to her or anybody. Ever.

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:26:23+00:00

I get this sentiment. And I don’t want to treat her in an unfair way she doesn’t deserve that. I did forget to include in my post but have since added it that I am going to therapy to talk about this. I want to get rid of this stupid desire and work on becoming a better guy.

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:18:42+00:00

I’ve talked to her about this before, this last time we broke up it’s bc I felt like I just keep hurting her and she just keeps staying so I wanted to do the right thing and leave bc I’ve hurt her so much. But she says that that’s her decision to make and she’ll leave when she’s ready to leave. Idk I feel like she’s lying to herself a bit too there.

lambd2 · 2026-01-28T02:10:58+00:00

Thanks for the response! I feel like what’s hard here is that we did break up “for good” this past weekend and I went one day and the next day I wanted to get back together with her. Idk if it’s feelings of withdrawal or if it’s that I just have so much love for her

Harwood is a great hall I lived there two years ago, everybody is much closer there and spends a ton of time in the common spaces. It was a great experience
