My guess would be the plot of Fallout New Vegas

Car heating can be adjusted to decimals usually. So can the heating in my home. The oven can’t, because the chicken doesn’t care if it’s 180 or 181 degrees.

They are complaining about having to pay taxes and having that tax money spent in social services.

Some idiot with too much money is already on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games

Athletes are adults … and they have a right to do with their body what they wish - my body, my choice; your body, your choice, … And no government, no paternalistic sports federation, should be making those decisions for athletes

Except for living as their gender dictates apparently, as:

According to D’Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.

That said, if I understand this correctly, they are basically making, letting and forcing (select the one you like) trans men to compete in women’s sports.

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.

So are chemical weapons, but police tear gas people all the time.

It’s not even ECC, OpenAI bought up unfinished wafers that still need work to become proper RAM just so that others can’t have it.

It will just not get made.

My inner monologue started singing the first four lines, then went to true crime voice for the non rhyming lines.

I think it works

In Hungary, we haven’t had significant migration waves since almost a decade now.

We’re still in a “state of emergency because of migration” since then.

In fact, the less people meet immigrants, the more they can be made to hate and fear them.

I’m feeling we’ll end up going over it whether we row or not.

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.

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?

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.

Protestors stealing a tank and driving it out of a museum into the crowd (nobody got hurt) during the 2006 protests that were the foundation to the Orbán regime.

Or start stealing more expensive shit.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

Great for UTIs, or getting rid of them?

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if I got an UTI after jamming up my peehole.
