I had a similar experience on my bike and chose to get back on, though it certainly took me a while, and I've stopped riding in weather and in other conditions. My family supported me in my decision. I guess you and I are just wired differently.

I try not to share my cynicism with the world too broadly because I think our modern era has too much of it. I think humanity is advanced by the wild dreamers.

You're making a lot of assumptions about me, what my risks are/aren't and... dude, can you not, please? I sold my motorcycle and once I recovered, I rented a motorcycle out in New Zealand as a sendoff and I reflect on that time with deep joy and appreciate the deep joy that others feel when they ride motorcycles. But I would not blame anyone for stopping, or infantilize them like you're doing to me now.

Yes, we're obviously different, but... dude.... dude. this is a damned conversation about a damned cloud server emulator that's not even close to 100% in-parity. It's perfectly healthy to inductively recognize that using such a system, like its sibling tools, might not continue receiving support.

Also, I'd argue that your post right before this one is cynicism so I'm not really sure I follow your point. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50459315

Sometimes things suck and it's okay to express our frustrations about them.

I guess I care because I've been on this forum for a very long time and everyone individually says that, but then the comment section as a whole turns into a hazard zone. Anyway I think I've engaged too much on this site for today.

Thank you for articulating in this reply what I've struggled to put into words, and what made me write the initial comment about cynicism on HN.
