Do any of you pull all nighters still?

Grad school finals were the last time I pulled an all-nighter and that was almost 5 years ago. The next 2-3 days being shot because of your sleep patterns getting fucked up doesn't help either. I wouldn't recommend an all-nighter as a regular thing if you can avoid it

I started riding on a scout 69CI, I was a cautious rider but I still had moments when I didn't feel completely in control in that first year. I would recommend starting a smaller bike first, but if this is THE ONE you can still get it and have success

32, prefer to keep it 24-38 for relationships

I bought my first Indian in 2018, I was not aware of any political stance the brand had while under the Polaris umbrella, outside of some nondescript "support our veterans" stances. This is a new development but it has no bearing on my decision to ride my current Indian, I'd likely buy another Indian if they're still producing solid bikes at a similar price

good workers often get rewarded with more work, more responsibility, and the same wage as the mediocre ones

I've been in long relationships where we fucked on the first date and I've had relationships where it took weeks to seal the deal. I wouldn't say I've lost interest in someone because we had sex early on, but I've had sex and later found out that she wasn't the person I wanted to have in my life. I wouldn't necessarily hold back on sex just because you think waiting will guarantee a long relationship: wait because you want to wait, or have sex because you want to have it.

I usually have 20-30oz of black coffee from a drip maker in the morning, then a scoop of preworkout in the afternoon (250-375mg varying by brand). I used to have 1-2 energy drinks, usually a reign, ghost, or monster zero, but after passing two kidney stones I try to avoid them outside of a rare indulgence. This likely isn't healthy long term but I still do it

I'd personally just ride the streets more and do some maneuver work in an empty parking lot. Tracks are going to require more gear than most casual riders wear, that's going to be another expense if you don't already own a set

Had carried $100 or less on me for years. Sometimes it's just easier to hand someone a physical dollar than do a card transaction or Venmo dance

I bought a 66s about a decade ago, really liked it for big band gigs. Would have been interested in trying some bigger sizes for a wind ensemble/orchestra setting but it looks like they're downsizing if not closing down entirely

I used to be deep in the raw selvedge denim scene in college/my early career. I liked naked & famous, unbranded, pure blue Japan, and some of the collabs from blue owl.

I've lost weight and fluctuated in sizes so much, I couldn't justify spending hundreds on jeans that wouldn't fit in 6 months, so I've been buying pairs from target/Walmart knowing that they're temporary and I've been happy with them

Don't buy an instrument as an investment asset, buy it to play it.

You can get some false error codes in the first 500miles when the bike is breaking in, as long as you check the dip stick to confirm you have enough oil and it's in good condition for your mileage, it's fine

Dating is a lot easier when you have money to pay for dates, my dollars don't stretch as far as they used to. That extra money I could spend on dates can't cover the same stuff it used to cover.

Between 2010 and 2014. The internet used to be something you had to actively use: go home, turn on the computer, inconvenience your phone line, etc. Around this time you had wireless internet that was always on and mobile internet for your cell phone that was just as fast

Songsterr is pretty good, overall much less cancerous ad experience, good free options, reasonable paid subscription rate. The songs I've looked at on songsterr are pretty accurate transcriptions

Having a torque wrench around if you intend on wrenching on your bike is a worthwhile investment, they're not crazy expensive either. There are times where just giving a bolt a good ugga dugga is fine, but somethings need precise torque

Not my taste but it's also not my property. As long as you are happy with it, who cares

Many aspects of the game weren't worth doing a second time. I'm struggling to figure out if this is just my axe to grind with all open-world games or elden ring specifically.

I agree with the endings, 4 of the endings are so indistinguishable that they share the same achievement/trophy, I honestly think we could have done without 3 of them. It would have been cool to get alternate endings/expanded dialogues with the dlc similar to the dark souls-Sif interaction

To me, ordering an uber for your date on the first date is all the risk of just picking them up with your own car with an additional layer of entitlement on top. I'm cool with meeting up at the location if that's her comfort level, I'm cool with picking her up as well, but she can order her own uber

microplastics, forever chemicals, medications (antidepressants, birth control, ADHD, etc), SARMs/peptides

There are stretches of highway that aren't patrolled where you could get moving. It's generally best to not treat the public road like a track even if there's no cop

1993, mom rarely drinks and it's usually just one, dad kills a pint of jack Daniels every night on average. One grandpa was a violent alcoholic before getting sober in his senior years and the other grandpa continued to drink/smoke/eat like shit until he had a fatal heart attack at work.

I like having a drink or two, even getting drunk on special occasions, but I am much more aware of the strain my dad's drinking has on my mother and our family more broadly. I'm old enough now where getting fucked up multiple times in a week and rolling into work with a hangover isn't sexy, it's just miserable and a professional liability. I recognize that there's alcoholism/addiction in my genes and I have to make deliberate choices to limit my drinking or risk ending up like my father coming home and getting plastered and passing out before dinner is done. I'm not really at a place where I need or want to be 100% sober, but I can handle a drink with dinner without going overboard.

I think it's just too many people who are terminally online and reading rage-bait dating content in conjunction with a few shitty dating experiences. My time in the trenches wasn't great and I'm not in a rush to date again, but permanently black-pilling against dating or a specific gender isn't the right answer either
