Or we could recognize that we just find eating dogs disgusting, but it's not inherently immoral, so just let the Asians do their thing.

Back in the day I remember playing a demo for the Desperados game, and it had the most insanely long loading time. It felt like waiting 10 minutes for it to load, but it was worth it.

But looking back, I can't help to wonder if my subjective feeling at that time was wrong by a long shot. I never timed the loading screen, and other games at that time I compared against weren't loading snails even on that old hardware.
I'd wager that I've witnessed longer loading screens from modern games than I ever did from that old demo.

Reject flash storage modernity.
Embrace magnetic plate tradition.

I'm personally not talking about what Europe has done historically, but what is happening now. And "crushes any people or culture that tries to be free or independent" is not that much of an exaggeration to what EU is doing to its Eastern members. Look at how EU reacts when Viktor Orban does one of his "Hungary is for Hungarians" type speeches. Or how an Hungarian town was voted as the most beautiful European town, only to be denied the actual prize because it wasn't diverse enough.

It's not oppression in the old colonialism sense, or even in the leftist sense, but it is undeniable that the West is spreading it's culture and values everywhere it can, and sometimes by underhanded means.

I don't necessarily think this is bad. Overall I value American culture more than my own. But sometimes, the way the West bullies other countries into accepting their values as the objectively correct ones, simply rubs me the wrong way. Again, my go to example is how Asian countries were bullied into banning the practice of eating dogs for no objectively good reason. The only reason we object to eating dogs is because our culture is emotionally attached to them. But Hindus are emotionally attached to cows, and we find their refusal to eat cows silly.
The fact that Western culture cannot comprehend this hypocrisy and pretends it's objectively morally abhorrent to eat dogs is fucked up imo.

The answers to your questions are: no and nothing.

What Elon is looking for is an amphibious car, which is build completely different from the ground up and actually has a propeller to drive the "car" in water".

You could argue that all terrain vehicles exist that are able to deal with going through shallow water with no issues. But once again that is build different from a truck, and a shallow stream is not "rivers, lakes & even seas".

I wonder how the timeline where Duke Nukem is Eternal and Doom Forever, is like.

He's technically not wrong, just hypocritical. :blobshrug:

Yeah, I plan to watch it a bit later.

@deadheat
Don't know what he might mean by racism, but there is a thing to be said about neocolonialism, about how USA exports and basically enforces it's cultural values all over the world. The easiest example is how the West harasses Asian nations over eating dogs, while we eat cows, an animal outright sacred to the Hindus, without a care in the world.

Reminder that we live in the timeline in which Tim "The Beanie" Pool is a top billboard singer.

The world is not real. We're all the creation of a drug addict's mind on crack.

@AmericanFlat
That's as big of a bullshit as the impossible burger. Let meat be meat and vegetables be vegetables. Stop trying to confuse and transition our food!

"Decay into Meaningless". Or maybe just "Decay" to keep it short.

@beardalaxy
Don't know who that is... but as long as you're gay enough...
