I also have a 1200GS with Jesse Bags. They don’t look great but they’re tough.

I share my location with my wife. I can see what time she’ll be home when she’s leaving work. She gets to see which ditch I crashed my motorcycle into.

I own basically the cheapest mechanical chronograph watch in existence and I love it. For 250 bucks you can get a “Seagull 1963” watch from China on Amazon.

It’s actually a really nice looking watch with a glass case back so you can see all the gears in the movement. It was designed by the Swiss company Venus a long time ago and they sold it to a Chinese company at some point where it got copied by a bunch of other Chinese companies.

You might find it under a different brand name. Mine is the “Seakoss” variant. They come in a bunch of different styles and sizes so pick whichever you prefer.

Sure maybe it’s not great to be supporting China but so much stuff we buy comes from China anyway so I don’t think about it too much.

I wanted a mechanical watch so I could admire the gears but I wasn’t about to drop many thousands of dollars on one so this thing fits the bill.

I worked for the US division of a German company and found that the culture even for the US workers was very respectful of time off and appropriate working hours. I hated the job because I was customer facing and our customers were typically large US companies, but the German company was a great company to work for.

It’s kinda mind boggling to me because it’s not like it’s hard to find porn everywhere on the internet. Sure maybe some companies will comply and set up some sort of age verification that attempts to block minors. Other companies will do what pornhub did and just quit doing business in that state, but if a teenager wants to find porn on the internet they absolutely still will. You can torrent it, get it from usenet, or just type “boobs” into Google. Hell the Fediverse is already like 50% porn.

It’s gonna require parents monitoring their children’s online activity like they should already fucking be doing because there’s way worse things than porn on the internet.

I’m tired of being penalized as an adult because parents can’t seem to do the job of actually parenting their little shitstains.

I like bikes that can do street and dirt so my style is dual sport and ADV. I can’t be trusted with sport bikes because my wrist has a mind of its own and I’ll probably end up dead. Cruisers are comfortable and great on the highway but they don’t excite me in the twisties and they typically don’t do dirt very well.

Ive ridden a few cruisers (VTX 1300 and 1800, Street Glide, and a Sportster) and they were great bikes (Well not the Sportster) but they didn’t excite me in the way that other bikes do.

Two wheels is two wheels so as long as you enjoy it I’m happy for you!

Afraid.org is what I’ve been using ever since dyndns started charging big prices for what used to be free.

It’s not my style but if you enjoy it that’s all that matters!

Right? This just sounds like sailing with extra steps.

Even with a subscription cost for the API, users still won’t be getting any NSFW posts. That includes porn obviously but there was also tons of non-porn NSFW content in subs like /r/drugs, /r/sex, etc.

I want to hear a story about how mankind threw the undertaker 30 feet onto an announcer’s table.

I don’t want to block the entire instance. I still want all the real porn, just not the cartoon/AI stuff.

I’ve been trying to block all the Hentai, cartoon, and AI porn communities on LemmyNSFW but other than that it’s pretty great! If you turn on the auto-expand images setting it makes for easy left-hand browsing.

I run a plex server because I don’t want to subscribe to 15 different services with 15 different shitty UIs just to watch TV. FF and rewind always works the same on Plex and the pause button is always in the same spot.

Every time I open Netflix or Hulu or Prime I am infuriated that it doesn’t immediately take me to the last show I was watching.

Also I like to watch shows as they originally aired, not with missing episodes that Hulu pulled to keep advertisers happy (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Community come to mind).

Yeah came here to say the same thing. The interactions between the different spell schools is incredible and they can also interact with the environment.

Beer before liquor, you’ll never be sicker.

Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.

It sounds like this dude didn’t even have a gun on him. He obeyed all of the officer’s commands and still got shot.

Half this country is concerned that the people crossing our border aren’t the “best and brightest” but what about our law enforcement? It’s certainly not the “best and brightest” who become officers.

The best accessory that I can recommend is a top case. I know they look super dorky but they are by far the most handy way to carry some extra shit while you’re out riding. I had a Givi on my GS that could hold a 30 pack of beer which was very handy.

My wife repurposed a knock-off Pelican from Harbor Freight as a top case for her Honda 300L. I mooch storage space in her top case all the time because my KTM 500 has no structure to support a top case.

Lol I’m gonna share your comment with my wife. She thinks I’m a pervert but now I have proof that it could be worse!

Biden has two “band-aid” fixes that I’m aware of.

The first as you mentioned is the student debt relief which doesn’t address the root cause of the problem that colleges can charge exorbitant fees to 17 year olds who have no concept of financial responsibility.

The other band-aid is the pardoning of non-violent marijuana offenders. I’m all for these people getting their lives back but it’s 2023 and marijuana is still fucking illegal in the United States even though most of its citizens and most of its states have decided that it shouldn’t be illegal.

I don’t get Biden. He talks a big game but he can’t seem to make any meaningful changes because he’s too busy losing the gun control war.
