Not sure why you're being downvoted.

I've been riding for years but had to renew my license. The motorcycle tests now has a section where you have to find the motorcyclist in the rain.

And honestly, that section broke me. I love riding in dark colors on my dark bike. But I'd be god damn near invisible in the rain.

And I wished this test was forced on everybody (motorcyclists, car heads, hell even bike riders).

Real talk: can we make a show today about Alf?

I wasn't part of that generation that watched it, and didn't really get the humor either. He was just... Everywhere.

This is still one of my wtf moments of this whole political circus

In the mid-2000s, I remember getting a podcast for my coworker and putting it on 80min CDs so he can play it in his car. So CDs were like [episode 15]. And sometimes, the podcast would go long so I had to make two CDs.

He didn't have an MP3 player and didnt know how to use the internet. And he paid me a few bucks for the work.

I think I made like a $100 from reselling free podcasts to my coworker.

This is where I'm conflicted.

I don't use Spotify because I don't believe in ads or paying money for things that are relatively easy to get. Im also not into music, which means my NEED to get anything is pretty low.

Where gaming, Steam is a platform. One could argue the ads are in the store page or all the sales. But there's still a huge pirate community. There's still GoG. All the other drm platforms are miniscule so not going to talk about them.

Where Steam is different is that shit just works on Steam. I can download a game from 2005, install, and I'm at the title screen. If I pirate, I have to do a handful of things to get to the title screen. Same with GoG. My Steamdeck is amazing! I've been actually rethinking building PCs in favor of just getting new Steam Decks.

Huh. I was taught this for years as a rider.

Did some searching and well damn.

I don't know the value of sex right now.in this economy.

I'm guessing that's a lot?

Torchlight could have been great. I'm still annoyed.

Honestly I fell asleep playing the game... Twice.

There's just something that makes me so bored.

My coworker plays those F2P games on her phone and she has shared that she's felt guilty that she played this game for like 500 hours and haven't spent anything, and considers throwing them $5-10 bucks a month.

She's also the kind of person who has like 8 tv subscriptions.
