All the while, they claim it's Russia that's engaging in "human waves" tactics

Ah yes, many people have given you long and detailed explanations of the history and context, while you just shove your fingers in your ears and go "Russia is the schoolyard bully and Ukraine is the little nerdy kid who had enough and swung back!!"

But everyone here is totally just circlejerking, right? Clearly except you, the wise and learned historian 🤣

I was reading some of this and thinking maybe it was a bit exaggerated how much cars are specifically a weapon, but then I just saw this post about an article talking about someone in Vancouver who murdered a baby (and severely injured the father) by running a red light they could see very far in advance who got acquitted because "it was just a lil fucky wucky uwu" and the comments pointing out that this happens all the time, regardless of how massively illegal the driver's behavior was

Not to mention how many examples I've seen of drivers intentionally engaging in aggressive dangerous acts towards pedestrians and cyclists, which to be honest does leave me worried, as someone who plans to get an e-bike very soon and use it as my main form of transportation in an area without good bicycle infrastructure

So yeah, the idea of cars being an intentional form of societal violence absolutely tracks

Unfortunately, most supporters of good urbanism don't understand how many intentional systemic factors are playing into it, they only see the symptoms, but then again I suppose if they saw these factors they wouldn't be liberals

They probably think "the SEE SEE PEE will hack your phone and steal all your data the moment you step in the country!!" lmao

Edit: I was right lmao

Which is what makes the most sense too, hydrogen fuel cells generally don't make much sense for personal vehicles

This is true but also it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games

It does very much bug me though how, unsurprisingly, there's plenty of people on reddit and Twitter acting like piracy is the only reason one would use Yuzu, as if it isn't such a huge value to be able to run games you paid for at a more playable framerate and better resolution than Nintendo's outdated hardware

Like, hell, Tears of the Kingdom having such awful performance drops on official hardware even compared to BotW is basically the big reason I haven't bothered picking it up

This is pretty disastrous, the things Nintendo is suing over are things that apply to pretty much all emulators, it would be a very dangerous precedent to set if Nintendo were to win this one

And even if they don't win, it's still very shit that they're even able to use lawsuits as a scare tactic, that they can ruin people's lives even without needing to win

Also, daily reminder that "piracy equals lost sales" is nothing but corporate propaganda, often it's the opposite actually:

This literally means nothing, it doesn't mean you can just ignore any potential problems with a concept and just try to build it anyway

And even if Hyperloop is possible, it still doesn't make sense to do, because high speed rail already exists and makes a lot more sense, the US should start building that instead

in Minecraft

But comrade... MINECRAFT is one of those games that doesn't have pausing...! 😨 (In Bedrock anyway, Java Edition is thankfully safe)

Finally, they'll leave us alone instead of shitting up our threads lol

RISC-V being open doesn't mean all implementations using it have to be, though

There's nothing stopping a manufacturer from putting their own Intel Management Engine equivalent in a RISC-V CPU
