I moved Mykolaiv+Odessa to US in the 90's, then married someone who grew up in Canada. Citizen of both.

Food wise, try a lot, Ukrainian flavors are incredibly bland, depending on where you live (I know Mississauga well) the Indian food is very good and authentic and kind of the polar opposite of traditional slavic cooking.

Canadians are more diverse, cultures vary depending on who you're talking to, cannot always tell just by appearance. Very very different from Ukraine in this regard as well.

Other things people here covered already.

I think people are more annoyed because Netflix's tendencies lately are more like putting a gay character in a series based on a book where the character was sexually active and definitely straight. I'm really thinking about the last season of Witcher which took this to the extreme, that changed the protagonists and plot of a very good book transforming the series into something quite different only for the sake of fitting a politically desirable mold.

It takes two looked great, but there are just so many games out there I still feel ok having missed it.

Mirrors edge was 2008.

Yeah shielding. Totally passive.

mobsters did that in their houses, people who buy them often only learn about the previous owner after realizing that one or two rooms are faraday cages - zero wifi or cellular.

"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I'm thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don't need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).

Both sides paint the other as the enemy of democracy and freedom.

That's just what happens when you have two authoritarian parties. They just lob Accusation-In-a-Mirror attacks at each other.

Other responder is on the money for established brands.

For new car makes, they are forced to play it safe.

For example Rivian, let's assume there is no technical constraint. They need to decide how much they are willing to risk before introducing a new product. When you invest billions before the first customer buys anything, your investors who are fronting all that capital want you to use the formula that is proven to work in every respect apart from whatever dimension you're innovating on.

Cars going on sale this year were designed multiple years ago. They were tested. Tooling and whole new production facilities needed to be designed and built and supply chain set up for all the new parts. Test batches evaluated. It's not like how you patch shit software almost on the fly in today's beta culture.

If someone like Rivian got the shape wrong because in the meantime everyone decided the porsche 356 was the prettiest car ever made and every new car was round and curvy, they'd lose what's called product market fit, which is the death sentence for every failed company. As a car maker they can recoup some money by slashing prices but this whole product cycle would be a huge cash loss they cannot afford to miss.

So everyone plays it safe. Everyone copies apple. Everyone emulates the design direction of Ford's F150, Toyota's Prius, etc.

Let's look at this scenario another way: if a 7 foot tall 400 pound dude goes up to a petite teenage girl and keeps smacking her in the face with a black object after she screams for them to stop repeatedly, she pulls out a knife and put it through his neck (because she cannot carry a gun yet), is she in the right?

Purely from a physical standpoint the FBI did extensive research on this subject decades ago in developing their guidelines for use of force, which reflects both in courts and which you also learn if you get trained for concealed carry.

The justification of deadly force is typically broken down as such: ability, opportunity, and intent. The first two are essentially crossed off in a scenario like this, you simply have no way of knowing if the 7 foot tall linebacker looking dude is a total softie or the 5 foot tall 95 pound granny got her black belt in middle age, and therefore have no way of determining right then and there the ability of the person across from yours ability to kill you with their bare hands or whatever object they happen to have within reach, AND ALSO that this can be accomplished faster than you can react, draw, aim, and fire.

Intent is the only reason why this guy is in court. Right now WE know there was no intent to cause grave bodily harm. But at that point in time, would a reasonable person being rather gently but persistently attacked with some object know this?

Nooooooo!!! Stitcher shut down, and Spotify actively hates people who listen to podcasts from computers. Any recommendations?

More likely it would make things awkward with friends and neighbors. That was a whole thing in Floridian retirement communities people would straight up rock Trump stickers but voted Biden so they wouldn't be ostracized.

Exemptions that only apply rules to the common people. Maybe device registration with an exception using ipv6 address

As a privately held business, we have no clue. Only the directors of the company and the board truly know what impact was made, and even then I would not be typing this on this app were it not for Reddit's behaviors. The effect may not even be immediate - it's now clear to many many people what value lies in developing an alternative that's for everyone instead of something niche for those right wing groups censored/banned by Reddit.
