Wife wants to get a motorcycle and I don't want to act like I can forbid anything but it's a huge no for me. I see far too many deadly collisions and injuries. She's pretty set on it and it's causing some massive conflict for us. Any advice?

Tell her in detail the experiences that you have suffered through because of motorcycle collisions. Make it clear you are coming from a place of genuine love and concern.

Thank you. It's so triggering for me, so it's hard to remain calm when we talk about it even though I am genuinely concerned for her safety because I love her. It feels vulnerable to explain it all because it does feel so emotional, but you're right - it's the only way she'll know exactly why I feel the way I do.

Introduce her to an ER nurse. My Aunt's Ex told me they called motorcycle accident victims organ donors.

I was going to say the same. I just heard they are called “organ donors”. I also remember, when I worked in a hospital, those injuries were absolutely, by far, so bad, some victims were unrecognizable. It’s why I never ever got a motorcycle.

Can’t live life always looking at it as ‘what if…”. If that’s that way you look at it why leave the house then because there is always something that could happen. Wouldn’t you rather be a supportive partner than being the one who says no and possibly ruin her happiness.

Is she good with motorcycles? I understand your concern but accidents happen even if you don't ride a motorcycle. Accidents can happen even if you just stand or walk along the streets. Let her have what she wants. Support her and remind her that someone is always praying that she be back in one piece without any scars every time she takes her bike off somewhere.

Dad started as a motor unit trooper, i rode for 40 years. We are still no sure why we’re alive. You can be dead right and still be dead. Ive been a jumper since 1991 yet, never once had a minivan try to kill me in freefall 🪂. 80% of world’s jumpers are killed in vehicle crashes

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Resume/LinkedIn question:

I am a senior student graduating in a couple of months. I am going to join Google this fall as a SWE. My previous work experience includes an internship at Google, and a summer spent working on open source (PostgreSQL) during Google Summer of Code. In addition to a lot of college coursework projects (CE major). Most of these projects are worth mentioning and they cover a diverse range of fields.

At what point should I drop coursework projects from my Resume/LinkedIn?
