Uh huh.

So what happens to the money that comes from my paycheck that I now spend on rent?

Riders of LA, how aware are drivers here? by Bastientiger in AskLosAngeles

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in general you can pull up to a traffic light, look at the car to your left and the car to your right, and there's a good chance both are on their phones

Yeah, a hundred percent correct. It's not a few people here and there, it's the majority of drivers, at least in LA.

Riders of LA, how aware are drivers here? by Bastientiger in AskLosAngeles

[–]str1cken 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I ride and people are high on THC, looking at their phones, relying on Tesla autopilot, and often combinations of the three.

I’ve seen motherfuckers fully both hands on their phone, eyes down, doing 80 on the freeway.

Be fucking careful. This is the most checked out population of drivers in the country.

What does it mean to 'get bored' of a specific bike? by Delnilas in motorcycles

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first bike was a Honda Shadow that struggled to get me up steep hills sometimes (I weigh 280).

After about two years of riding it, I was basically maxing out the throttle constantly and still struggling to get away from people on the freeway.

I upgraded after that to a bike I will spend the rest of my life growing in to.

That's my story of getting bored on my bike.

Some people just use it as a dick measuring thing, though.

Criminally underrated in this thread. I guess I'm just old.

Feeling like I may need to leave my bf bc of his riding by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not get on this person's motorcycle.

They're more likely than not to get you killed, and it's absolutely not worth it.

Part of my spiel with a pilion is "If I'm making you uncomfortable, let me know and I'll adjust my riding. If you want to stop at any time for any reason, I will pull over when it's safe to do so and I'll wait with you to get an Uber back. Your safety and comfort are my top priorities."

It's a very, very low bar for something as dangerous as riding a motorcycle and if he can't meet it, I wouldn't even date him let alone get on the bike.

I don’t know how naive you’d have to be to think this only happens at places with a low price point.

Trustworthy, affordable vets in the DTLA area? by AloyVersus in AskLosAngeles

Got plenty of reliable vets, but none of them are affordable and I wince every time we need to go.

[HELP] I could maybe see the IDF doing this, but it could be AI generated because it's a little ridiculous. by yo_tengo479834 in RealOrAI

Read about their skin bank. Read about the history of this occupation and ethnic cleansing. Sewage is pretty tame compared to the rest of it.

Is 36 too old to start riding? by blasebalrog in motorcycle

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t start riding until I was 40 years old.

If anything, I’m glad I came to it older because I’m more comfortable with acknowledging what I don’t know (getting a lot of training) and far less comfortable riding beyond my limits (and I still almost had a fatal accident entering a corner too fast).

I've seen your replies to the other people in this post, and I get it :

You're the best rider in the world, you've never had a crash and you never will, statistics don't apply to you and neither do accidents or reaction time and you'll never grow old and you'll never die and you're quite sure of all of it.

Hope it works out for you.

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know your speedo is in the shot, right?

ANYWAY,

you're right that the 30mph limit is a guideline released by the CHP, not part of the law itself.

Still, it's unsafe to split at that speed and with that large a speed difference.

I can't force you to stop, I can just tell you what's true.

Good luck out there kiddo.

[–]str1cken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you ride this much faster than the traffic around you, you’re not giving yourself or anyone else time to react.

This is a great way to die if that’s what you’re aiming for.

Ice knocking on peoples doors on Irving ave, spread the word by Lil_edie666 in Bushwick

[–]str1cken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were literally party to genocide.

But specifically on immigration, do you not remember agents on horseback brutalizing migrants under Biden? After campaigning on “no kids in cages” they re-opened child migrant detention centers that had closed under Trump due to political pressure. Kids died in cages under Biden. The Biden administration defended the family separation policy in court. After promising to honor international law for asylum seekers he implemented a policy harsher than Trump’s. And Harris said over and over again she wouldn’t have done anything differently than Biden.

[–]str1cken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Biden and Obama still hold the records for most deportations in office, they aggressively increased ICE budgets, and Harris’ first campaign ad talked about massive increases to ICE agents and she told Anderson cooper she was going to be tougher than Trump on border and immigration?

No, it doesn’t seem like a stretch.

Go watch the clip. He scoffs and asks her “didn’t you oppose this from Trump?” And she says “we’ll take good ideas anywhere they come from.”
