At least in my area where the rules are the sane, motorbikes just exist outside the law. You park them wherever, but nobody gets in trouble when someone on a motorbike dies.

Not likely, this would get ripped apart on engine start.
For a crash, you need to at least get to the part where you attempt a takeoff.

I don’t see this as that.
My reading is that “I want to touch my GFs butt but I won’t since she’ll get mad, but I really want to”.
Nothing wrong with really wanting to. Maybe don’t call your SO a bitch though.

It’s not like Trump has a plan. The people behind him do.

And he totally maintained a proper professional distance as agreed.
In front of the court when he got handed that restraining order.

How rough are those seas? Normandy was specifically done over rough seas to gather more of the surprise factor. Also, rough weather may protect against drones and stuff.
IDK much about this though, these are legit just questions.

It’s not even ECC, OpenAI bought up unfinished stuff just so that others can’t have it.
It will just not get made.
- Comment on VR is an absolute game changer for racing games 1 week ago:
I felt exactly the same way with (combat) flight sims.
Without VR, a lot of it was practicing maneuvers and attitudes as the target or the airfield would be out of my view most of the time. With VR, it just feels right, you can just keep the target in sight and move yourself into position. Your sense of distance and attitude is also 100% better. I can fly altitudes better, dogfight much better and so on.
You also get a much better sense of the whole plane, how big it is, how it moves around, and it also is tons more immersive. I can do 2 hour flights without getting bored easy in VR - not that you don’t get hella tired from that.
- Comment on What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema? 2 weeks ago:
So in folk tales from Eastern Europe or Germany I know, most “magic words” are either rhyming nonsense or just specific sentences in the same local language. Think “abracadabra”, ours in Hungary is “csiribú-csiribá”, you’d pronounce it like “chiribooh-chiribaah”.

Property is a social construct. It’s just a way for all of us to make sense of living with each other.
The kid owned that door through a consensus, just as you own your things, even as an adult. If that was an illusion, so is all your property.
Point is, don’t be a dick.

Really depends on the kind of paper. Used to habe to do technical drawings, and there is indeed a distinct smell to certain kinds of paper, but not your usual copy-grade sheets.
- Comment on why 4 weeks ago:
That’s what I love about my native Hungarian, even pronouns are ungendered.
Everything else is stupid complicated though. We have tonal harmony to worry about instead.

The point being made is that the big corps advertising have an exceedingly hard time measuring whether ad buys resulted in sales, and especially which ad buys resulted in sales.
Buyers don’t see that it isn’t worth it, they can only guess.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 1 month ago:
You could be more supportive. Men have issues specifically hurting them too, and not dismissing that fact won’t make women’s issues less relevant.
Could we just be more supportive to each other?

- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 month ago:
When the USSR came to Hungary, they literally exhausted the syphilis medicine supply of the country for two years with the amount of rape, and the country has had collective PTSD from it for generations.
I’m sure others can bring up other countries, I’m more familiar and am more in touch with the culture of specifically Hungary. It is widely researched and not debated actually that it was so bad, suicides and misogyny spiked in the aftermath, as the people who couldn’t defend their loved ones from often repeated often gang rape either committed suicide, or just internalised that “rape is not so bad” to cope.
600 thousand people were also kidnapped (from a country of less than 10 million) and forced into labour camps for decades, with a third never coming home. This also specifically targeted the local German-Hungarian population (which had nothing to do with Germany, it was a diaspora dating back long into medieval times), so it can also qualify as genocide.
There were also examples of brutal torture, keeping people in cells small enough they couldn’t even sit down, and so on. Had nothing to do with communism, some of the direst things were actually done against communists who wanted to be free from Soviet occupation. It was pure Russian imperialism.
And truth be told, we got off easy compared to some other countries.
And finally, colonialism being “western” in an inherently racist way to view the world. East Asian empires also had colonies, so did most empires around the world.
- Comment on Aeroplane 1 month ago:
In case it’s not just a joke, basically if you press the entire pedal, that’s rudder, and if you push with your toes and “rotate” the pedal forwards, that’s the wheel brake. If you apply the wheel brake, your ankle stays in the same spot, but your foot tilts forward.
At least that’s how it is in most planes, I’ve never flown a 737, only small ones and an A321 simulator.
- Comment on Aeroplane 1 month ago:
(at foot pedals) “Push both to brake (after you land), push one or the other to turn”
Doesn’t the 737 have toe brakes?
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 month ago:
I mean in the current dictatorships, where it’s a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by Marxist terms, it is usually one dictator and the setup is fairly hierarchical.
Why is it called a dictatorship then?
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 month ago:
without ever having colonies or engaging in imperialism
That’s only because the USSR lobbied hard in the UN so that colonialism is defined as having overseas colonies. The “near abroad” is/was a colonial empire.
The USSR was definitely imperialistic, see Hungary 1956, where it crushed a revolution which was not against communism, the revolutionaries were in fact communists, they just wanted to be free of Soviet occupation.
Not debating the accomplishments of the USSR though, it was definitely and improvement on the Russian Empire.

Well, in the USSR it was Ukrainians. Every authoritarian system find its outgroups.

That said I don’t trust them, I’m just saying if we want to rail against the thing, we should know exactly what the thing is.

Anecdotally, ProtonVPN’s servers have had a jump in usage percentage since this shit started, particularly in the Netherlands.

I guess the trusted processor would be the state authority that already has all your data.
That said, I think it’s a solution looking for a problem. IDK if 14 year olds jack off to Pornhub, I rather care about 54 year olds being swindled by Meta to destroy our democracy. What did we do after Cambridge Analytica?
