  • I hope this is a copy pasta lmao, if you actually go to a training course where you learn to handle oversteer, understeer and spin you out, they tell you that you have about a fuck all chance of recovering, even when there when you have warning and you know it’s coming and you have a fairly low speed you have very little chance of counter steering correctly.

    Here is what you actually have to do to drive safely:

    1, dont be a dumbass that thinks you need to go through 12 years of Formula 1 training to drive on the road, if anything the fact that you think training can make you prepared for extreme situations and that you can handle it is what’s arrogant and dangerous.

    2, dont be a dumbass and adjust your speed to driving conditions

    3 dont be a dumbass and don’t push the limits of your car on public roads

    4, defensive driving, assume people on the road are idiots and will fuck up and drive accordingly.

    5, learn how your car works, eg. just because you have an e-Handbrake you can still pull on it and it will stop the car

    6, and most important, because people don’t know how to do it, learn to emergency break, meaning your hazard lights come on.






  • I disagree with that, Piracy doesn’t cost anyone anything, it’s people using their own internet connection and hardware to share the data, I also paid way more for my Plex setup than what it would cost to pay for streaming services.

    I have everything in one place, conveniently, that’s the big difference, that’s why I am willing to pay more for my own setup.

    I used to pay for netflix too, but then everyone started doing their own streaming service and now you need to have like 5-6 and then every country has something different on it, it’s a mess.

    Not to mention they did shit like removed a Community episode because I guess that fixed racism?

    another thing is that Scrubs is one of my favorite shows, but because licensing deals expired they changed the soundtrack and the original soundtrack was a huge part of that show, so to see it in it’s original version, you have to pirate it.




  • I think you vastly overestimate the “freedom” people need with their phone, you are doing the same thing Linux evangelists do, why would anyone use Windows when with just a phew workarounds everything works on Linux too, completely forgetting that average joe doesn’t give a fuck about any of that, they want something that just works and Apple is still the best at that.

    Personally I am a tinkerer and I still switched to an iPhone, because I need a phone that just works, with android there was always something randomly breaking, and most phones I had to set up to restart every evening otherwise it would just have random glitches in a few days.

    I have owned my iphone for close to 2 years now and I can count on one hand how many times I had to restart it, hell I remember having and issue restarting it because I forgot how to do it.


  • Well, no, they are kinda independent of each other, it’s just that both are hierarchical social structures so fascists have a really easy way of using capitalism to get power and capitalists don’t care about much else but hoarding wealth and fascists need the wealth to control the country, so it’s a nice symbiotic relationship.

    Though you could argue that unfettered capitalism always leads to fascism, which is not wrong.
