It's an interesting road. Theres a rumour amongst the motorcycle community that police turn a blind eye to that road so that tourists arn't turned off from visiting the area and spending the money. Considering the relatively low s

I've noticed within my circle of colleagues some people who found the idea of changing pronouns personally offensive, and refused to call people by their chosen titles. Interestingly enough, when they met transgender or non-gendered pe
