Well yeah, in America, the popular perception of motorcycles are toys instead of a valid type of transportation, and so dudes who drive a car to an office job 5 days a week buy a 30,000 dollar Harley to role-play Sons of Anarchy on the weekend. Here everyone from 14 year olds to grandmas ride.

Loud motorcycles and cars are obnoxious.

A 400lb vehicle behaving recklessly is an order of magnitude less hazardous to the public as a 2 ton car driving recklessly.

I mean that's true of cars too. But the people who drive cars as a hobby are such a small population that they're irrelevant to the conversation.

Hell Ill take a 25 year old with a riced up Civic going double the speed limit over the average Suburban Assault Vehicle driver, at least the former are probably paying attention.

sociopathic behavior

Motorcyclists endangering themselves is entirely different to cars endangering literally everybody.

Motorcycle isn't a hobby, its a mode of transport.

Kindly fuck off carbrain, you've made it clear you have no problem using your car to block anyone else who also wants to use the road, there's no need for further discussion.

Carbrains everybody.

Scooch over and let them by, we all must share the road, hopefully they would do the same for you.

Btw, contrary to popular belief, cars have shorter stopping distances than cars so thank you for not brake checking my dumber comrades who do that shit.

I’m not “scooching” so these people can make the road more dangerous for the rest of us.

Fuck off you are surrounded by two tons of metal, you are in no danger. It costs you nothing to not be an asshole and not use your 2 tons of metal to block people.

One of those should be mopeds/motorcycles I imagine?

Yes, cars stop faster when ebraking. A hyperbike performing perfectly throwing their body back can stop a bike somewhat shorter, but typically stopping with more than 1g will cause a stoppie.

I'm american, but since moving to vietnam, I have reached enlightenment and understand that all traffic and urban design problems are caused by cars (and/or capitalism).

Maybe 10 years ago, these days I hear Hondas are more reliable

I didn't try the pizza, pizza in asia is almost always disappointing.

I can understand if someone doesn't like coffee and just wants a flavored milk drink with coffee undertones.

Setting up and maintaining a few racks of graphics cards and network stuff for myself and some friends/customers in some cold place would be a great job for me. If it wasn't promoting something completely useless beyond tricking people into handing over their money that should crash the moment people realize this, I would have been one of the bitcoin miners since like 2006.

The US barely takes in immigrants with degrees, I know 2 Filipino nurses who literally spent years waiting on a visa and eventually gave up and went to Germany and Abu Dabi.

Its not useful to blame systemic problems on individuals.

Buddha never had someone order durian pizza for the group.

Durian pizza is quite popular in China, people buy it unironically.

I also tried Durian coffee. I could still taste it 4 hours later.

Well yeah, that particular one is the French Royal library, obviously built to be a monument to French superiority, but in general, the working class building a library for itself isn't exploitative.

Buildings like that one (way over the top) have traditionally been built by slaves and/or built with profits from colonisation, invasion etc

You get similar styles in communist countries when the building exists to serve the public. The USSR would often include a requirement for a portion of the budget go to local artists, so you ended up with no less ornamentation.

Modern machines produce a human-readable paper ballot, and we can do exit polling to check for statistical anomalies, us election integrity probably isn't attacked at the voting machine level.

At least since the 2000s or so.

I get the sense that you are making your choices based on how intimidating the aesthetics are rather than the actual way they ride.

There's a reason we moved away from that design a century ago. The suspension, wide tires, frame geometry, etc on a modern bike or scooter all make it easier to control.

A small-wheel scooter with a low rake angle sacrifices stability for convenience and compactness.

Stability in this case means how much the thing wants to stay up while under power, a scooter might lean over and start trying to turn if you just reach up to adjust your glasses with 1 hand without being careful to keep the it going straight. The benefit of low stability is that you can lean the scooter over with less effort and stand it back up quicker when you want to go around turns.

Maybe ask friends if you can just try out their bikes before you make any decisions.
