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.

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

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.

Yeah let me just convince my friends and family to stop using Signal and start using Google Chat. I’ll get riiiiiight on that!

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.

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.

I’m looking forward to giving hardcore a try. I played classic quite a bit up to Wotlk. I didn’t have any interest in hardcore until it became an official thing (it used to be an add on that you installed that kept track of all the players who attempted the hardcore challenge).

I don’t think I will do too well. I expect a lot of swearing.

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.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to remember searching for communities from kbin doesn’t work if you use the exclamation point.

Raise your hand if you also finished the last episode of the new season of Black Mirror!
