You are a brainwashed propagandist with that comment. Good for them. Can you explain to me why the US and NATO did not intervene with the genocide in Georgia? Make that TWO genocides. Who did? How much territory did they take? You know that counts in your inaccurate figure just as an example.

Americans are too stupid for the Internet.

Bully terrorist state steals assets of other sovereign nation.

That’s the headline.

American definitely has a culture. And most of it is shit. Keep that idiocy away.

100% middle East.

And I practice what I preach unlike most of you keyboard warriors that don’t even a passport. The other side of the planet is NOTHING like you portray in your propagandist media. And you’re all too brainwashed to even look for yourselves.

Because the majority of idiots on here have no idea how the rest of the world operates. They see an article like this and do not connect the dots.

You’re brainwashed.

This has nothing to do with religious oppression. It is bad policing. The US is as much a theocracy, a Christian theocracy, as Iran is.

The topic is being shot by police for no reason.

The western propaganda is that it is a horror when it happens elsewhere like Iran. It’s just a Tuesday when it happens every fcking day in the USA.

If you don’t see the topics are the same, you’re brainwashed.

So much worse than being shot at randomly by police or even just in your own home when they bust in by mistake like they do in the USA. At least in America you have the freedom to be murdered or disabled by police for no reason at all, not just because of what you’re wearing. Freedom.

Two camps. One just runs on the insurance as if it was stock. And if they ever need their policy, they are going to be financially bankrupted.

The other camp is actually insured and yes it’s ridiculously expensive.

For example if you just have a new bumper or body kit with standard insurance, and someone tbones you, you’re standard insurance will probably pay out but will assume your car is worth less than stock because of modifications.

But if you have that body kit, and you run over a pedestrian, you’re going to personally be responsible because the insurance will say you modified the crash tested crumple and pedestrian zones on your vehicle. That violets the contract you have. Not only will they not pay, they’ll drop your policy. Then you’ll have to pay the millions for paralyzing little Timmy.

Best case scenario for standard insurance is you buy a $500 Fiero, do $50k of modifications to make it awesome. Someone crashes into you, and they total your car for $500. That’s the value of the vehicle.

As another data point one of my collector cars is a low mileage 1980’s vintage. It’s worth 6 figures and while the past few years is a garage queen, I do actually drive it on the road. I have special insurance for it that will pay to “restore” the vehicle in the case of an accident. You can’t buy parts new, and 99% of mechanics won’t even touch it. So anything in a shop is going to be ridiculously expensive. That’s what my insurance pays for. To make it back to current condition after an issue. I pay 200x to insure the vehicle than I do to register it on the road with the government.

Fiero is the literal go to car, there is tons of info out there.

Emmisions is usually combined with safety and road worthiness in the context of a road inspection. Emmisions also has requirements like no check engine lights, no electric faults, etc. In a modern car if you disconnect the radio you’ll get a check engine light. It might even refuse to start without additional hacks. So you’d have to go old school. And some of those old school engines are better when running with a CEL but a modern parallel system in place of the 40 year old onboard diagnostics.

Insurance companies won’t cover vehicles with extensive modifications. Making a kit car is basically a giant red flag. You haven’t crash tested it to see how safe you are or how safe the school child you accidental mow down is. You also don’t have inspections and insurance as the builder to make sure every bolt and weld is actually secure. If you get into a wreck with your kit car, you’re going to be on the hook yourself for all your damage, all the other people’s damage, and all the property damage. Even a streetlight can cost 5 digits easily, 6 digits by the time you pay a city crew to remove the old one, do environmental inspections, install new one, etc. It’s ridiculous. But you need the insurance to register the vehicle in most places, so that’s why you get it. The cheapest crappiest insurance to allow you to register the car. Then you make sure your umbrella policies cover you. That’s why this is a rich man’s game, to drive custom and one off vehicles. The other trick being you actually insure it yourself with a trust, back that with general insurance for everyone else, and personal insurance for you. But you don’t even look at this sort of thing unless you’re in the 0.1%.

You can think of it like why a salvaged title vehicle won’t be insurable by most companies. It’s a liability game. The whole western world runs on liabitly, and that’s where the money is.

People do this all the time with kit cars. The issue is that a modern corolla is a unibody design. That body style and panels are actually the frame of the vehicle. You can’t really reshape it into an arbitrary shape.

This is why something like the Fiero is so popular as a kit car base. You take the panels off and you actually have a mid engine vehicle with a skeleton steel frame and then you can bolt on whatever you want.

Many areas allow kit cars to be registered under the original vin. Most insurance companies won’t cover you for anything. You might be able to trick one into covering the original vehicle with the original vin even though it’s modified. But if you ever need anything from them they’ll refuse and cancel your policy.

In jurisdictions with emissions or regulation testing, you’ll probably never get it approved for the road.

It may be a secret shame in India, but it’s a public shame in the US that the rest of the world doesn’t understand.

I don’t like playing multiplayer or online games anyways. So I’m good.

Starcraft, the OG, with Broodwars on the PC

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, or some tycoon game.

Super Mario World on the SNES

Let’s use Flash!

May your marinara sauce never cling to your pasta!

The US is a hostile place for online hosting. All small and medium businesses should move their operations out of the US. I did years ago, never looked back. Only the big ones with lobbiests will remain, just as our dear lord and saviour capitalism intended.

They’re like the last ones to the party lol

On your own private media server. If you plan on watching any content that the Mouse owns, you better archive and save it. Because they randomly edit or straight up delete content all the time.

All the Steamboat willy stuff will never be released on their shitty platform. Just like Song of the South won’t be.

Issue is definitely corporate greed outsourcing issues to a mega monolith IT company.

Most IT departments are idiots now. Even 15 years ago, those were the smartest nerds in most buildings. They had to know how to do it all. Now it’s just installing the corporate overlord software and the bullshit spyware. When something goes wrong, you call the vendor’s support line. That’s not IT, you’ve just outsourced all your brains to a monolith that can go at any time.

None of my servers running windows went down. None of my infrastructure. None of the infrastructure I manage as side hustles.

I’d actually love to take some sort of sea train, underground tunnel or floating death wave train one day. It wouldn’t be relaxing, peaceful, or cheap. But it would be an adventure.
