BMW are the only manufacturer with a serious interest in an enclosed motorcycle/scooter.

Firstly performance motorcycles are luxury items for most people in Western countries so looks are extremely important.

Making an enclosed motorcycle look good would be… challenging. You could make a very safe enclosed motorcycle and it would be pointless if no one bought it.

Motorcycle gear is quite good at abrasion resistance and being ‘ground’ into the pavement isn’t much concern for a rider wearing appropriate gear.

It is impacting a solid object that’s most concerning, which a roll cage and airbags would certainly help with.

The concerns about weight and being top heavy expressed by others are a bit overblown in my opinion.

Long story short there isn’t a market for it.

Rampant chlamydia is playing a part but sadly it’s mostly human driven.

Likely through a post on another platform, reused username, or an email address and tying it back to the account.

Please no brigading, I'm only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying "Served them right!" in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly "excusing carnism" or being a "fake vegan" in my opinion.

"fake vegan" isn't in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like 'carnist rhetoric' (rule 5) to me but what do I know.

No, they don't understand sons loving their fathers.

They're weirdly into daughters loving their fathers though.

Not just for security, selling snake oil is also grounds for ad blocking.

With how heavily subsidised corn is in the US it would an achievement to fail at turning a profit.

Such a toxic community! I popped over to reddit and saw posts like this

https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines2/comments/19bq6q3/keep_running_into_a_bug_that_destroys_my_tax/kitiiqn/

This bug was introduced with the last Patch last year before they went for christmas/new year holidays. They are back since 1 week now and i think and hope they patch it as soon as possible . To be fair its only a Problem early till midgame before you got youre economy half way working, after this point you dont have money Problems at all . I find the ai pathfinding + the cargo System more gamebreaking then the money bug

On steam checking new reviews shows people are unhappy and refunding but there’s hardly any vitriol there either. Moderators are quick but not that quick.

Over on the official forums we see complaints, disappointment and frustration but little in the way of outright hatred.

I’ve yet to run across anything that crosses a line in terms of content I would moderate, however that doesn’t mean moderators didn’t nuke such comments before I could see them.

This looks like the expected reaction to a game being broken on release. The devs are simply shifting blame to the community.

Luckily there are people who do know, and we verify things for our own security and for the community as part of keeping Open Source projects healthy.
