  • Eh, I don’t think the correlation of age is the causation of getting wounded or killed due to questionable decisions on powerful motorcycles. I’d venture to say the correlation is moreso in personality type, and aversion, or lack thereof to risk.

    Like, you don’t see complete straight edge 16 year olds getting bikes, and from my own anecdotal experience, my straight edge friends were scared of it. Though if there wasn’t an inherent aversion to the risk, I’d bet those types would be incredibly safe motorcycle drivers.

    The types that currently get them are the types that will take risks, regardless of their age, and we can’t rightly outlaw something because some risk takers act dangerously on them. We’d have to outlaw cars too.



  • I’m going to 36 weeks of military training that will also be a substantial pay cut from my civilian career, but worth it in the long run as it’ll be the necessary experience to switch my civilian career to my field of interest. Not looking forward to the training, but I’ll be in such a better spot once I’m finished. Looking forward to that!


  • Not necessarily, but kinda. Graduated in 2021 and was lucky enough to already be employed full time with a cool, well paying company as a software engineer. I’ve kinda outgrown my position, and have been trying to switch into cyber. I’ve gotten my sec+, pentest+, have a secret clearance, and over 5 years of experience in the industry with heavy exposure to cyber. 500 applications sent out, a damn near pristine resume constructed, and have gotten about 35 interviews, probably ~10 second interviews, 2 third interviews, and no job offers. That all happened over the course of a year.

    At this point I’ve decided to reenlist and transfer to Army cyber while getting a quick MS in Cybersecurity from WGU. Maybe that’ll finally get me a cyber job after my 36 weeks of active duty training
