overview for sam

My current helmet is ok... but not the best in the long run as it's kind of slightly to big as it shifts up and down on my head. Thoughts on the helmet I'm looking at getting.

I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future by sam in c/motorcycles@sh.itjust.works

So in the UK we have something called a CBT (Compulsory basic training) it's a day course so you can go on up to a 125 on the road with L plates, it's not a licence just get's you on the road.

Yeah not the other two lol

What is up with people creating Communities and then not even posting a single post in them? by sam in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

TBH that is a fair enough group that I can see why there's no posts in lol

Yeah I guess that could feel strange but wouldn't that be better than 0 posts at all? Like hey least they are trying to grow the community and making some sort of effort.

That's fair enough, I find when a community is empty I am less likely to even consider posting in it, compared to one that maybe has a single post from 6+ months ago.

Even if you are squatting on a community I think it makes sense to try and make it look active by posting yourself.

Like wouldn't you want to be able to grow a community by doing a post here and there, even just a welcome post to say why you created the community would make sense wouldn't it?

How do you get a guest to leave when they won't take the hint you want them to leave? by sam in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

As an autistic person I feel like i'm over staying my welcome sometimes, the easiest way to confront me is be like "hey, great to see you but I have other stuff to do. We should do this again"

@The_Picard_Maneuver Here in the UK, sure we get Spam mail but there's red labels and stuff for really important mail from the government and things and most of the time it's just telling you to pay for a TV licence that you wouldn't use as you don't pay for live TV and just watch YouTube.
