I know it's not really a meme, but I amused myself doing this. Not very elaborate but still! He'll hopefully be riding to work with me all this month as long as he doesn't fall off and I can still open my case enough to put my helmet in lol.
It's an ancient meme
I didn't know 5 years was a cutoff for something be considered investing but ok.
Yes, you're right. I could have decided to keep the account open for the next 10 years and maybe it might have eventually earned a single penny. But I chose not to because that's just not what I'm interested in. You do you. It's just not as easy and win-win as people make it out to be.
Is this AI? Why would there be a random desk in this orientation in the middle of a Home Depot aisle?
This is why I don't invest. I tried it for a relatively short span of time. It was a large company that isn't a scam or anything but I can't remember the name of it. They had three sort of options for investing...1. high risk/reward, 2. Medium risk/reward, and 3. Low risk/reward.
I either picked 2 or 3 or something. Can't remember which. All that stupid thing did was lose money due to broker fees. I watched the money slowly drop over the span of around a year from "fees" with literally never earning a dime. I thought it was ridiculous so I pulled the rest of the funds.
I instead chose to place that money in a high yield savings account. Does it earn money quickly? No. But it isn't wildly unpredictable like investing and it will never lose money unless I take money out. Investing isn't for me.
Used to be not very at all... constantly getting angry at myself for fucking something up. People liked to spout all this nonsense about self love and it just felt so gross to me.
But the thing is, if you hate yourself, you can't immediately jump from hate to love. There has to be much more gradual and realistic steps otherwise it's not going to work.
The first and most important step I had was in realizing that I was a human being. Sounds silly, I know. Intellectually I understand that I am homo sapiens, but I always felt like I "knew better" than to do XYZ if that makes sense. I didn't feel human.
But I realized that I was human and I realized what it implied. I am not a robot. You are not a robot. Humans are animals. We are messy. We feel things like joy, elation, jealousy, rage, depression, sadness, desire, etc. That's normal and it's a part of you. Do you have a job? Guess what? You literally cannot be perfect at your job. Because you are a human. You can be good at it, but you aren't a robot. You'll make mistakes. Sometimes you'll be lazy. Sometimes you'll be productive. That huge variation in color is what makes you a living, breathing organism. Once you understand that about yourself, it becomes easier to understand yourself and be less hard on yourself because of it. Why punish yourself for being human? It is nonsensical.
I've never had a dentist or hygienist recommended any specific type of toothbrush to me outside of electric toothbrushes. The big thing they seem to care about is flossing.
How is your toothbrush damaging? You don't need to press as hard as you can!!
Idk how you can tell if this is a man or woman from this angle. But imo anyone doing incredibly weird shit in public shouldn't be surprised if someone snaps a pic.
On top of just not having a way to regularly charge the thing, I don't think I'd want to buy a motorcycle without a clutch. It's part of the fun. I know there are automatic ICE motorcycles out there and that's great for those who want it. But it's just not why I wanted to ride a bike. Hell, I even went out of my way to buy an older model of my bike because the new ones come with clutchless shifting (altho not a fully automatic transmission). I didn't at all want that "feature".
Hell...sitting just on the ground I'd even understand. It sounds spontaneous enough. But bringing out a fucking chair is just deliberate and fucking bizarre behavior.
Hey all. Just looking for a quick opinion. I have wanted to get one final arm tattoo. Only my forearm and wrist tattoos are visible a majority of the time because I work in short sleeves and pants lol. I want something else visible for me to look at!
Here's a pic of the placement of all of my tattoos (outer ankle tattoo not visible tho):
The tattoo will essentially be three smaller tattoos in a row. Thematically, it fits in with my shoulder tattoo.
Here's a shitty scratch pic kind of trying to showing where I want it. I want to go inner bicep:
As you can see, one of my legs is tattooed. I am planning to slowly build sort of a patchwork leg sleeve over time with any remaining tattoo ideas. This would be the last tattoo to go on my arms. I don't plan on tattooing the other leg.
But the placement I want for this upcoming tattoo combined with the knowledge that I'm done with the arms and only planning to do one leg makes things seem rather unbalanced with shorts. I live in a fairly hot climate wh re it's shorts weather most of the year.
Idk is this too awkward to get or am I overthinking it?
Thanks lol.
I impulse bought an orange gas tank online. One of my many regrets in impulse buying my bike was that I wanted a brighter color lol. I really wanted the bright red, but only found dented ones for a reasonable price. Found this orange one instead and mashed the buy button lol.
Some follow up questions:
How do I get last bit of fuel out from the old tank? There is still quite a bit swishing around even after I took off the fuel cap and fuel pump and poured gas directly from the openings. At the moment, it is just turned upside down in a pan hoping the remainder will eventually dry out/evaporate.
How can I help prevent the old tank from rusting in storage? I'm not necessarily planning to use it again, but just in case.
How the fuck do I get fuel to pour out of this gas can with a "safety spout"? Basically you push on the spout to get it to pour, but it only barely dribbles out that way. The red tab I think needs to be depressed or moved somehow but it won't budge. Any ideas? I just ended up removing the spout and pouring it directly out of the can via funnel
Bonus: Looking for some ideas to temporarily decorate the bike for Halloween! The bike is kept outside tho so it would need to be somewhat weather proof lol.

Hi all. Noob here back again. I got the screws out of the front master cylinder, but I have been having a different problem.
When under higher RPMs, the bike gives off a VERY strong fuel smell. It's still noticeable at lower RPMs, but not as bad. It didn't do this initially when I got it a few months ago, but I didn't ride it much initially.
Bike is a 2017 Honda Rebel 300. Fuel injected. No carb.
I noticed that the gasket to the gas cap was a bit cracked and distorted so I got a new gas cap. Didn't resolve the issue.
There are no visible leaks anywhere that I can tell.
The smell is very strong around the gas cap and engine, not so much the tailpipe. The bike seems to run great otherwise.
Unfortunately, googling seems to show this as a very nonspecific issue, so I'm a bit lost as to where to begin. I'm a huge noob when it comes to mechanical things.
Thanks!
Hello. I'm a new rider who recently purchased a ten year old bike. I have ZERO mechanical know how, but decided that I wanted to learn.
So far I managed to take both the front and rear wheels off to get the tires changed and I managed to change the oil. Since I am unskilled, it took a LOT of fumbling through these to get things going...including breaking some nuts (rear axle nut was stuck and I originally only had a 12 point socket) and bolts (overtorqued an oil filter cover bolt despite using a torque wrench) and buying replacement ones.
Since the bike is 10 years old, I know that all of the fluids need to be changed. I feel comfortable attempting the actual change for the brake fluid from my research EXCEPT I don't want to irreparably damage this area. The front brake works fine, but the sight glass is totally clouded and opaque, so I cannot visually check the condition or level of the fluid.
These are JIS screws and I have purchased replacement screws. Any advice here? Please consider my novice skill level lol.
I bought some screw extractor bits but do not have an impact driver. I have some JIS screwdrivers, a hammer, a regular drill, penetrating oil, and replacement JIS screws.
Thanks!

I got a really close shot of him and just wanted to post lol.
Man that surface is absolutely coated in fur. Same at my house lol.
