• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

For the longest time I've been waiting for a bike again...

But it's money and cost that makes me think, to get anywhere wth anything you need money...

Then I thought... - 'what about for the love of doing the thing itself' ... And I thought, maybe I should do something in this life that brings small joy even if it costs...

But the thing is... Having a powered bike... And coming off
.....

High speed...

Isn't that a method? Like, an instant one?

Wat am I doing, enjoying myself... Or giving myself a method...


It's been a long, taxing, tiring, sad and lonely Xmas and I crave some togetherness... My partner is having issues with that mental effort and aches all the running around takes...


How do I make everyone happy?! Wen they don't really know it seems? With family who are addicted to complaining and isolating...


Help?!

Happy new year SaSu 🌲 🎇

Well... If you have issues with money, start saving some. You could have multiple different saves you collect your money into. For example if you get 100 euros each week, you could save 20 euros for bike, another 20 for long term save (which you keep for year or couple), etc. Food may seem bit expensive sometimes, but it's manageable to cut down for 20-30 euro per week (I personally eat a lots of eggs, rice, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc. The most expensive item I usually get is black tea.).

Edit: Oops, I thought you meant a bike.

I get the appeal. I have a motorcycle but it's in storage so I can't ride it unfortunately.

I did a thread on this a while ago:

seems highly inefficient, especially if you dont already own one. while rare, its not necessarily impossible to survive a high-speed crash on a motorbike and be left handicapped at best; or a conscious vegetable at worst.

Risk is high at speed

Not the only one. I love bikes.. but yeah... It's a scenario/equation that's come together for me

two people close to me survived crazy motorcycle accidents. one person went blind in recovery bc their brain said nope. they regained sight but mobility was compromised.

the other had their back reconstructed and I imagine they are not doing well as they age.


IMO it's an unreliable method even with perfect circumstances.

to OP, your choices are your own. we're here for you regardless.🤍🤍🫂🫂
