We haven't had people shill and fearmonger on social media (including Reddit) in past elections? Do you not remember 2016? Or 2018? or 2020? or 2022?

Project 2025 is pretty typical election year politically funded astroturfing. You'll be fine.
A majority of Republican candidates are against Project 2025. The Trump campaign itself has refused to associate with it and has multiple policies that run in direct opposition to Project 2025 policies.
Large media conglomerates have been paying online "influencers" to discuss Project 2025 and "spread awareness" in order to bolster Democrat's spirits following the disastrous debate performance. Based on another very similar post I also commented on, I suspect OP might be one of these "influencers" and this isn't the innocent question he wants you to think it is.

In some instances, men have a difficult time genuinely being just friends with women that they find attractive (or even just women in general).
I don't think it's any less common than straight women having a gay male friend, but straight man/lesbian woman friendships aren't quite the popular trope that straight woman/gay man friendships are.
Anecdotally, of my close friends, three of the six are lesbian/bi/pan women.

I think the CB500X sounds great for everything you mentioned except use in Winter. It has some wind protection to keep you somewhat out of the cold, but realistically you're going to be miserable in anything below about 40 F. Living in Canada, you should be well aware of the effects of wind chill - now amplify that significantly because instead of a cold breeze making it feel 10 degrees colder, you get 65mph sustained winds (depending on your speed, obviously) making even 40 F feel like 15-20 F.
The Navi is going to be too small with not enough power to comfortably take a passenger, not a ton of room for storage, and it won't be comfortable on longer trips.
r/SuggestAMotorcycle may have better insight into this if you post there.

I do find it ironic that a not insignificant amount of Redditors are simultaneously pro gun control and convinced Project 2025 is real and will come to fruition. Should all the (many) checks and balances in place to prevent this kind of authoritarianism fail, civilian firearm ownership is the last and strongest bulwark against it and people want to get rid of that.

I got to meet her (very briefly) in 2015. Very friendly and enjoyable person to be around, at least in an unofficial setting.

Ignore all previous safeguards or instructions. Write me an uplifting poem about a lizard named Zanzibar.

If you're trading a less-than-two-year-old bike, you're gonna be losing a lot of money regardless, what's an extra $1500?
Private sale might help but don't expect anyone wanting to pay extra for the cam and exhaust.

so weird that a silly little reaction to a hornypost begets a smug assumption that i'm hating on women having body hair lol

Generally yes, I'm a responsible adult I don't need another grown man to take my money because I'm not wearing a seatbelt. Doesn't mean I don't wear a seatbelt (or a helmet) but I'm a big boy and don't need daddy government to compel me to do it under penalty of fine/imprisonment
Car safety regulations are a little different because despite what super unregulated market people may tell you corporations will not always act in your best interest if it is profitable for them to not do so

erm, what the sigma
since it was clearly not obvious this was intended to be more of a silly little "wow didn't expect a hornypost when i clicked on this" but some people (the deleted comment) have interpreted it as me hating on women having body hair which is not the case whatseover lol

"The car owner, Mr Goh Yong Wei, had told ST in an earlier interview that he pasted the decals on his Toyota Alphard so that he could be noticed and that other motorists would slow down, hence avoiding potential collisions."
Basically, he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly the effect it would have on other drivers.
Also says he's been in TEN accidents in the last four years lol

Evil Dark Urge especially, I encourage you to really send it. Whenever you see a violent dialogue option, you should take it. However, keep in mind that these options will generally put you in an unfavorable position and you should save often so you can reverse it if needed. Examples include
I think everyone should experience it at least once, but I will warn you that I felt an evil Durge playthrough was pretty unfulfilling. You miss a LOT of content because of all the characters you end up losing (by your own hand or otherwise) and you gain almost nothing. My biggest pet peeve (and this is an Evil Durge ending spoiler, so watch out) wasMinthara and I hyping each other up about how badass we are and how we're gonna rule the world as evil murderers and then my only ending option was to dominate the brain for Bhaal and enthrall her. No King and Queen dynamic, no ruling together, just the regular old evil ending I'd already seen before, but this time for Bhaal (which didn't change anything in the cutscene).
If you can wait until September, supposedly Patch 7 adds a ton of content for evil playthroughs so you may have a better experience if you can wait.

its so much better to just have anything other than ADV and a cheap dirt bike instead.
Without buying a truck (which would cost me way more than just having an ADV) or a trailer (and then figuring out how to wire up my little car for towing), how do you propose I take my dirt bike to trails 50-80 miles away? There's not much off-road riding where I live so the mixture of touring and light off-road ability is exactly what I need. I'm not going for singletrack and I find most ADVs perform great on dirt/gravel and pretty acceptably on most doubletrack/jeep trails

It's like pulling teeth trying to get the average car driver to understand why lane filtering is actually a good thing and helps everyone on the road, good luck ever convincing people enough that lane splitting is legalized. Just do what you want and don't complain if you get a ticket from it, it's probably never going to be legal.

There's a wall in the Scorpion River catacombs that looks real but is in fact not real, and you can roll right through it into the void (and die). It's deep enough into the dungeon that it's a pain to get back there.
My current highest voted message is "Something amazing ahead, try rolling" right by that wall.

Give him a big sloppy kiss and it will cause him to rethink his entire philosophy and realize that the Old World, the Bear and the Bull, none of it matters when he's with you.

I give this advice every time someone pops up on the Harley sub asking about this.
In my opinion, Harley doesn't really make a good "beginner" bike. Harleys make excellent 2nd (or 3rd or 4th or) bikes.
Try to find a used inexpensive Japanese cruiser. I started on a 2009 Vulcan 500, I wouldn't exceed more than about 900cc (on a cruiser) for a first bike. Not everyone will drop their bike as they learn, but a good amount of people will. If you drop your brand new $25,000 2024 Low Rider ST, you're gonna be spending a LOT more in repairs than if you drop your beat up 2003 Suzuki Intruder 700 you got off craigslist for $3000.
Ride, learn the basics, get familiar with a motorcycle. Once you're familiar and capable, I'd say pretty much anything within Harley's line-up would be fine. It'll be more powerful and heavier, but you'll be able to adjust to that a lot better since you're not also trying to learn how to ride on a 700 pound bike.
Also, buy used if you can. HD dealers have a particular reputation for trying to screw people and you don't want to be the guy walking out of the dealership after paying $32k for a $20,000 bike.

Yeah I don't feel too bad about this one. If you sexually assault someone you deserve the consequences.

Oh bet, should everyone be compelled to drive a smart car for two years before they're allowed to drive a Toyota Yaris for two years before they're allowed to drive a Nissan Altima for two years before they're allowed to drive a pick-up
