  • That was something I actually really liked about old Twitter: with only 140 characters (or whatever the original limit was), you really couldn’t add the extra fluff to soften your opinion. You just said what you meant as succinctly as possible and let the masses react as they will.

    I’d like to think it forced more people to go “mask off” with their opinions and stop hiding behind fluff, but it also perpetuated an attitude of toxicity that made Twitter ripe for extremist exploitation

    What would be a good method to minimize gaming addiction in kids?

    I agree that time limits aren’t ideal, but is there a better solution besides vetting every single piece of media a child wants to consume? I grew up with both, and it just taught me to be sneaky, which then ended up with me exposing myself to some truly awful stuff on the internet


  • I agree, a good pocket knife is a great purchase!

    One thing for readers to keep in mind is that unless you know how to fight with a knife (and know that the assailant doesn’t have a firearm), then it’s a very bad idea to brandish a knife even as a threat. If the assailant is able to disarm you, then you’ll be in a much worse situation than if you didn’t have the knife at all.




  • What are you talking about? The goldwing has been consistently hailed as one of the best touring motorcycle for almost 40 years. Every long distance rider I’ve spoken to says the goldwing is their favorite bike for cross country rides, and the ones who have sold theirs for a BMW or Harley touring bike have expressed regrets about changing.

    Just because something has a lot of features, doesn’t mean it’s bad.
