I’m still bitter Morrowind vanilla didn’t let you side with Dagoth Ur if you decided to also play an evil xenophobic maniac who wants to spread a flesh-eating disease on the continent.

I’d say very few games have a lot of effort put into the evil arc.

AliExpress at least lets you buy close to the source of a lot of goods that you won’t find made elsewhere than China. Some stuff I find there exists from European makers, latest example, trim clips for cars: you can buy Restagraf but you need to live near a car body shop supplier that will be willing to sell you a few clips without insane markups.

I don’t think automatic transmissions are in any way responsible for car centric urban planning, Europe has plenty of it and the transition to automatics is very slow and quite recent.

I agree far too many people are allowed to drive when they shouldn’t but people dying on the road is more socially acceptable than stringent standards for being allowed to operate lethal machines at insanely high speeds (in terms of kinetic energy at least).

At the current rate (which may or may not hold and may or may not be legitimate) the initiative should beat “One of Us”, the biggest one yet with 1.9M signatures (pro-life, ultimately did nothing).

They are supposed to meet with the seven people who first put the initiative forward. It won’t change their minds if they’re already against the initiative but if they don’t care it may sway them to hear it explained to them. I have zero expectations since EU bureaucrats live in a parallel dimension but there’s some hope something happens.

You think British people have free speech? They get the police knocking at their door for dark jokes on social media.

Don’t worry the cork will still be filled with microplastics from the soil used to grow it to the adhesive used to bind it.

If they get fined often they’ll stop.

Can’t judges requisition anyone as a Marshal and send them to capture ICE thugs held in contempt? I don’t think that will happen but maybe it should.

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

Where’s your newsletter

Tutorial videos with your new car, sure, not with a videogame.

Most of them are though, to make a protest legal you have to declare the planned route and you can be told your protest is illegal (so anyone showing up there and then can be arrested and fined).

They’ll confiscate them in France if they manage to search you before you join the protest. Because of course protection means you’re a terrorist.

So if you hit wildlife you have to pay or does it only count for domesticated animals that aren’t allowed on roads in most places? That sounds insane. In most countries if you hit a dog with your car the dog owner is liable for damages to your car in most cases, same with cattle unless it’s part of a convoy.

What did you do to end up in that plane of Hell?

Levi’s in Europe has been shit for decades so welcome to the club. Sadly it seems only premium denim isn’t fragile shit nowadays.

It’s also a concern with methylphenidate and is actually checked when it’s given to children.

I don’t know if I am fun but filling forms online sure beats losing years worth of income to my own stupidity if I were to be intoxicated (which I do not do anymore but you never know…).
