The Hungarians I know are very open with smiling and laughing, so I’m not sure what to do with this …

Would not have guessed that!

That being said, I’ve only been to Shanghai and Beijing, and Chinas a big place, lol

I wish.

Could be any major European city, too

Those are two things that can work very well together

I live in the middle of a nature reserve, halfway up a small mountain.

It’s tranquil as fuck. You get woken up by birdsong in the mornings. I get to see various animals on my commute. I can walk maybe an hour from my house to be in a place where, aside from the trail I’m on there’s no sight nor sound of anything man made.

The downside? Oh look, the kitchen is full of millipedes again. Something stung me. Another power cut. No running water this week. Can’t be lazy today, I’ve gotta chop firewood before the weather gets too hot. All my friends are far away.

We’ve been there for 7 years, hope to move back to civilisation in a couple of years because we want to spend our time with friends rather than house fixing.

Where do you live?

Sounds really good … my wife moved to the UK for “a year” and then didn’t get away for about 13 years, but she never really like it there. Just didn’t have anywhere else to be, really.

Nobody else was offered, I’m just obviously “alt” and not shy … my friend recons they would have enjoyed the prestige of having a tattooed white woman cut loose in there. I was a but more skeptical though … I’m too old to be desirable enough to roofie, but you never know.

I didn’t like the vibe and left after a couple of beers; nobody was dancing, just showing off. Had a lovely random encounter on my way home though, so I left at the right time :-)

I’m guessing from your response that’s a no for you, though, lol

Touché

Yup, Enby AFAB here … been chucked out of more than one toilet when I was wearing winter clothes (well, excuse me for not having my tits out on display when it’s fucking freezing).

On one occasion me and my wife (also Enby) were both accused of being men in the women’s toilet, and then got followed around a whole mall by security for over an hour.

My heart goes out to all trans siblings who have to live through this shit, especially given all the other shit they have to go through.

You people are amazing - beautiful, sexy, real. Worth having in this world, unlike Terfs.

Fuck yeah!

I meant specifically for sale.

I went to a club a little while back with girls and boys available by the hour, and there were guys doing circuits of stop-me-and-buy-one for drugs.

Being an interesting looking person, I was offered a freebie for the drugs.

My wife’s previous main bike was a CBR600RR … it was a bit squashed for me, lol

Compared to a 600RR, a 750 Gixxer is a weapon, a whole different animal - you don’t get that flat spot from 5-7K before the secondary injectors kick in, it just goes … but because it doesn’t have the bulk and sheer power of a liter bike it’s easier to tap into what’s available. I really liked my late 90s one, but it got stolen :-(

My experience of sport bikes is from before they had all the riding modes and traction control, though … the new stuff sounds like you can put 200hp between your legs and just tell the computer to not kill you :-/

Upright is good, but the amount of wind resistance from a naked is surprising. That’s where “sport touring” bikes come in for me … I love the combination of sporty yet practical, and they’re tuned for torque from the low end, so much nicer in traffic :-)

I’m curious to know what your missions are

You should definitely get another motorbike :-D

Street Triples are good, but I found the seat to be uncomfortable for long rides for me.

I’ve had just about every sort of bike in the past, and my tastes have changed a lot in the last couple of years … my daily commuter now is a '21 Royal Enfield Himalayan, which is just a big, slow, old-fashioned tractor. My wife’s main bike du jour is a Voge AC350 which is really small, light, and nippy.

Yeah, soft skills are the grease between the gears. And when you have a really good team, it can be genuinely pleasant to spend time with them. I genuinely miss my team back home.

Where I’m currently working away we go out for a meal after work every month or so. If the mood is right we’ll get drunk and do karaoke, too. It’s really brought the team together - the slacker puts in a bit of effort, the stickler has loosened up a bit, and my nervous protégé has more confidence to ask for help.

If I could recreate the best weekend of my life but to include my wife, then that. But that’s something for the lascivious lesbians comm.

In more wholesome ways, going to a new city, enjoying some light touristy bits, a nice dinner, a concert or show, and then the next day wandering around finding hidden places :-) We did that in Venice when I turned 40 and it was magical

That sounds fantastic … I love disappearing on my own for a week sometimes :-)

(though for me it’s on a motorbike, out into the unknown)

That whole thing is crazy to me, there were 6 people at my wedding and it was fantastic - luxurious, intimate, and loads of fun. And it cost hardly anything, lol

Yeah, it took me ages to find just the right pair for me because their standard sizing for pretty colours is too narrow, and the right size were all in boring colours.

Anywho, I was excited to eventually find a pair that fit just right, in salmon pink with white flowers on … and I destroyed them in about 6 months of normal use :-(
