I’m sorry that happened to someone you knew.

Thats awful.

I’ve only done it on a remote road with a huge view, so no chance of another car - but plenty of chance of animals stepping out, or even just losing control due to road surface or wind gusts etc…

Its a silly thing to do.

Huge adrenaline rush, but so very silly. These bikes are ridiculously fast.

It’s not something I plan on doing again.

Once again, I’m sorry you knew someone who had such an awful end…

Yep, I’ve topped out my Hayabusa and I feel the same way… Done it 4 or 5 times when I was a little younger but I don’t need to die that way.

I’m so terrified that my wife will go before me…

But I also don’t want to let her down by going before her and making her live her own last days/weeks/years alone…

Love is so difficult

All the commenters so far are sick… Me too.

Getting through a sinus infection that came with a side-dish of pneumonia.

I’ll be ok… 4 month old, thanks entirely to my wife, is letting me sleep… The others are with their other parents so it’s been alright rest-wise…

Yet another case of an abuser being let go easy by the courts until it was almost too late.

What if he’d decided not to hire a hitman and just turned up and killed them himself?

She’d voiced her concerns, he’d sent kids to the ER, he’d threatened them with weapons - and he was still a free man.

Domestic violence needs a LOT more effort.

It’s a rough job.

Kind people who want to help others rarely do so for the money, and employers know that. I’m not getting a great wage but it’s better than the minimum which is lovely - but we do get the minimum we can possibly be paid…

My wife is a teacher, too… Talk about under appreciated.

Psychology is fun to look into… What’d be the end result if you furthered your psychology study? What’d be your goal for your career?

What if you do change? What next?

I’ve rarely stuck with any line of work over 3 years and I’ve learned a lot by working the variety of jobs I’ve had, but can never expect decent pay sadly.

Ahh, I’m always up for a laugh.

I work disability support, which is really rewarding a lot of the time. I love helping people and giving people a reason to laugh…

How about you? What do you do?

Hey,

Just came home sick from work… I live in Australia so sick leave is alright…

How you doing?

Seconded.

I had a mate who didn’t speak with his parents, lost his job and left his partner.

Took him in, rent free for 6 months. Got him on his feet, he got a new job and 6 months later he left… With my 10 year relationship. And my cat (but to be fair my ex was a vet so it made sense that she took him)

I thought he was a friend.

My wife. I want her to get better, though. Depression is a cunt. So is her abusive ex husband.
