Important Question: Why should I ride a motorcycle?

ChatGPT Answer: There are several reasons why someone might choose to ride a motorcycle. Some people enjoy the feeling of freedom and the open road that riding a motorcycle provides. Others may appreciate the cost savings associated with owning a motorcycle, as they can be more fuel efficient and require less maintenance than cars. Additionally, motorcycles can provide a more exhilarating and thrilling riding experience compared to cars. However, it's important to note that riding a motorcycle also carries more risk than driving a car and requires more skill and attention, thus it's important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

Mr. Subjective Comment: Missing - Riding makes one feel better, and in general puts a lighter footprint on the planet, and (importantly) reinforces and strengthens the social contract. Not to mention how you’ll generally look cool doing it. At least to most people.

Important Question: Why should I ride a motorcycle for urban transportation and utility?

ChatGPT Answer: Riding a motorcycle for urban transportation and utility can offer several benefits over using a car or other vehicle.

1. Traffic and parking: Motorcycles are smaller and more maneuverable than cars, making them better suited for navigating crowded city streets and finding parking spots in tight spaces.
2. Cost-effective: Motorcycles are typically cheaper to purchase and maintain than cars, which can be a significant financial advantage for city dwellers.
3. Environmental (sic) friendly: Motorcycles emit less carbon emissions than cars, which can help to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment.
4. Efficiency: Motorcycles can navigate through traffic faster and with less fuel consumption than cars, which can save time and money for daily commutes.

However, it's important to note that riding a motorcycle in the city also carries more risk than driving a car and requires more skill and attention, thus it's important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Additionally, it's important to make sure you have proper training and equipment, including a helmet, protective clothing and insurance before you start riding.

Mr. Subjective Comment: This is getting boring already. And stupid. The number one reason not listed:  Because riding makes you feel better.

Mr. Subjective Comment: Not mentioned, but important - The very best curvy roads are always the obscure ones which don’t have any other traffic or have very little traffic. There’s a little-known curvy road rule which goes: If there are no painted shoulder or other lane markings on a curvey road, you may ride as fast as you are safely able without fear because there are no applicable traffic laws.

Important Question: What should I do if the sky is falling?

ChatGTP Answer: The phrase "the sky is falling" is often used as an idiomatic expression, it implies a sense of impending doom or catastrophe. However, if you're in a situation where you truly believe the sky is falling, it is important to stay calm and follow these steps:

• Take cover: If there is an object falling from the sky, it is important to take cover immediately. Find a sturdy structure or a covered area, such as a building or a bridge, and seek shelter.
• Listen for official announcements: Tune into local radio or television stations for official announcements or emergency broadcasts. These will provide important information about the situation and any instructions to follow.
• Follow evacuation orders: If you are advised to evacuate, do so as quickly and calmly as possible. Follow the instructions of local authorities and emergency responders.
• Avoid damaged areas: Stay away from any areas that have been damaged by falling debris. If you are in a damaged area, move to a safe location as soon as possible.
• Seek medical attention: If you are injured, seek medical attention immediately. If you are unable to do so, call 911 or the local emergency number for assistance.
• Be prepared for the aftermath: After a catastrophic event, be prepared for the aftermath, such as power outages, disruptions to transportation and communication, and possible food and water shortages.

It's important to note that it's always a good idea to have a plan for emergency situations, including a well-stocked emergency kit, and knowing your community's emergency response plan. Additionally, it's important to follow the instructions provided by the authorities, and not to spread misinformation.

*The multiple “F’s" in the first word of this essay's title refer to a speech mannerism of a popular 1980s fictional sci-fi character named Max Headroom, an entirely AI + CGI digitally animated screen image of a television newsman's 'talking head'. His trademark stutter was the result of buffering glitches caused by his underlying AI algorithms placing excessive processing loads on a mainframe computer. His name came from low ceiling height warning signage displayed across the malfunctioning automated gate of an underground parking facility in London ("MAX HEADROOM - 3 M”, translated as: “Maximum Headroom Three Meters). An unfortunate motorcycle courier died as a result of head injuries caused by crashing into that gate. It was the last thing this un-named rider saw before dying and also was the first information that came up after scientists had successfully translated the entire contents of this deceased rider's brain into AI and CGI software, which allowed Max to continue to live forever as a wisecracking sentient AI algorithm.
