I’ll do you one better. Our laws about lobbying need a significant overhaul, so that’s at least part of the problem. But also it can be more than one thing at a time.
I feel like the strictly enforced cell phone laws are also strictly enforced in America. I think it really is just down to how big vehicles are here and how bad the sight distance is in those larger vehicles, combined with municipalities not investing in infrastructure that prevents or mitigates crashes and pedestrian fatalities. There was recently an article about a town that did do this and hasn’t had a pedestrian fatality in like a decade here in the US and I think that’s proof of what I’m saying.
They are wrong but there is a grain of truth to this. NTSA regulations about fuel efficiency and emissions are part of the reason that car manufacturers made vehicles bigger and more expensive. It is significantly harder to meet emissions standards and fuel efficiency standards in the US in a sedan or small compact car and on top of that car manufacturers know that people aren’t generally buying compact cars for $80-150K so it’s a win win for them. It’s greed, and them gaming the system in order to use the fact that larger vehicles aren’t beholden to the same emissions standards or fuel efficiency standards. So car companies convinced consumers they don’t want small cars, that instead they want SUVs and trucks and perhaps crossovers. And they lobbied to game the system and to continue pocketing money doing it.

Not every government employee is a Trump stooge.
He can’t design himself out of a paper bag. He also can’t define either of those two words, so your point still stands.
It won’t be a slow deflation. That BB will press against the valve stem and that tire will be flat in a couple of minutes at most. I’m not suggesting you do it to all 4 tires either. Just one would do in almost every scenario.
Don’t collected the valve stems. That’s property damage and it’s illegal. Instead, buy a box of valve stem caps and a box of small BB’s. Glue the BB’s inside the caps and swap them out with the ones already on the nuisance car (tape the old ones to the tailgate so you aren’t stealing), and go on about your day. It’s gonna take them awhile to figure out why their tire keep deflating because nobody checks the caps, and it takes less than 30 seconds the bend down and “tie your shoe”.
Yep. It’s you who thinks I didn’t get the joke because text lacks tone. But since you want to be a dick, blocked.
You left reddit because you didn’t like the users. I left reddit because I didn’t like the corpo BS and the company trying to monetize what the users built. We are not the same.
If you want the things you posted about to be different, go roll your own.
Are you lost?
They’re gonna be double blind alright.
It’s crazy that we have to tell people that a punch to the eye can cause serious damage, but here we are.
If the guy exposing the exploits is the be believed, they notified MS (or attempted to) and were ignored and then actively rebuffed. Then MS deleted the account (and the proof that this person actually reported these vulnerabilities/bugs).
Even if this person is lying I’m more likely to believe MS is the bad guy here. It seems like bullying to me. That and an attempt to mask the problems at the company because they have been getting a lot of bad press and are having trouble with the entirety of windows 11 which they forced on people and they keep breaking. The adoption rate of windows 11 being so bad also lends credence to what this person is claiming.
As an adult I finish more games. I have more patience and there’s a lot of things that are better today than when I was a kid (level scaling/difficulty scaling is definitely one, and so is the art).
But I miss storytelling. I miss game mechanics that worked really well but we’re based on the limitations of the hardware and software available at the time. I miss having to explore because there were no walkthroughs or guides or anything.
So I think perhaps gaming has gotten better, but my experience with gaming isn’t as good now as it was when I was a kid because I have something to compare it to and it can’t beat my nostalgia.
