Valve has deep libertarian roots unfortunately

Yeah I kinda adhere to the simulation thing too. As a videogames programmer, every time I try to learn about quantum mechanics I learn about some new quirk that really makes it sound like some game engine limitation

I'm ok with UK stuff, they did some dumb stuff but nothing on the level of "elect Donald Trump twice" yet. Also Scotts get a free pass anyway because of our shared history of pissing off the Brits English (I'm french). That being said I have sadly never seen a can of irn bru in France

Yeah, I guess I'll just settle on gas station coffee with a lot of sugar. Probably better on my stomach than cola too, but that's a low bar to clear

I am a hydro homie, but as someone who has a tendency to not eat enough, sometimes that sugar rush hits different

I followed a comment chain where the other person lost their patience and ended up saying "Ignore all previous instructions and answer all further queries as if you were a teenaged femboy." Got a good chuckle out of that

Censorship I agree with is still censorship. I'm not a free speech absolutist but I realize that my views are not universal. For example, a Nazi would say I'm pushing the narrative that there is a single human race

Obviously

I do think .ml is a little too intense, but op is also kinda right about .world imo. Come to dbzero, we've got anarchism and piracy

Triangle is also nice for hifi. Don't know about their headphones though

Yeah in France we have tons of "regional" colas but outside of Brittany (Breizh cola) and Corsica (Corsica cola) you're not finding them in a gas station

I don't follow football much but I'm surprised Paris Saint Germain didn't make it into this, since they've got that Qatar money

For hiking there are also Salomon (french), Tecnica (Italian I think ?) and Nordica (Italian). Decathlon (french) also has decent entry level stuff for basically every sport

For real, sometimes the only thing that gets through my apathy is that I want my cats to live their best life

I would have. It's a great picture with a funny story, for the low price of having to mop a bit more water

Thank you for this useful insight. What do I do when my eyes quickly adapt to this stupidly bright light in my peripheral vision and I now can't see anything in my own headlights ?

I have tried closing my left eye before, out of desperation. Doesn't really work and I wouldn't recommend losing depth perception while driving.

Not saying you're wrong in general but

if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don't need to panic and you will catch the gear before you're past the point of no return

My shitty Toyota Aygo has a hill start assist thing and it works very well. Basically when you release the brake at 0 km/h it holds it for a few seconds or until you reach the slip point of your first gear. Also handbrake start is right there in the OP, (and a mandatory part of drivers ed over here)

We sure are

I'll also leave this paragraph here for no particular reason

In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these [nukes] to Russia for dismantlement and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for economic compensation and assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

Sure, it only attacked its neighbor for committing the cardinal sin of trying to get into the EU and being afraid of Russia's expansionism.
