I'll take it.

And this is why Pepsi is clearly superior. It's basically quantum physics in a bottle.

@coolboymew
You know what... I approve.

They are of perfect size, sir.

It's making the fricking frogs gay, and the hecking Kanyes nazi.

I don't know much about rallying unfortunately. I do know that Group B was completely insane and had many casualties. Was he a Group B driver?

@LukeAlmighty @lina @VD15
That was a harsh reminder for many people, that when top tier racing goes wrong, it goes very wrong.

@lina @LukeAlmighty @VD15
I think people have only proven it to be possible on paper, by doing math, but no one has done it IRL, because you don't have a place long enough where you can transition your car, from driving on the road, to driving on the wall, to on a roof, at the speeds required to achieve the feat.

@lina @LukeAlmighty @VD15
>would be fun to flip someone else's car over because your car was too wedgy in shape though
Oh yeah. Crazy stuff can happen if your car is pointed enough. Search for "F1 Japan 2014 Jules Bianchi" to see. Content warning: the guy ends up in a coma and then dies because of the crash. Biggest tragedy in F1 since Senna.

@lina @LukeAlmighty @VD15
True, but you know... they're full on arcade. You really shouldn't think anything from those games is a legitimate tactic to use IRL.

@sjw
Yeah.... the 7 year old definitely wants his parents dead.

Also, that's just your zip code, and your son wants you dead, cause you embarrassed yourself, and him, on national television.

I used to play Nascar Racing 3, waaayyy back, and I'd sometimes do things like that. But even in the game it was risky as hell. Sometimes the car would just decide to snag on the wall, and fuck your day.

But that was with very simple physics, completely solid walls and a virtually invulnerable car. I imagine things could be more unpredictable IRL. Even if whoever regulates Nascar doesn't put a ban on this, I don't think that many would be willing to risk it, and you're not gonna see much of it outside of final laps, because of damage to the car.
If you get the approach angle just a tiny bit wrong, or the friction in a spot is too much for some reason, your wall ride turns into a 200mph crash.

I honestly view this more as a racing miracle than anything else.

@Terry
Lucky bastards.

Let me know if you ever do.

Ripping games and repackaging has been getting a resurgence in recent years, because of games inflating to ridiculous sizes I assume. But it looks to me that a few trustworthy and well respected repack providers have quickly emerged, and people stick with them I guess. I haven't investigated the scene well enough to tell if malware started being an issue before people learned who made good repacks.

I can imagine it being a problem during the 90s, but let's just say that by the time a cracked game ended up in my hands back then, it would have been tested by other consumers. So I guess I was pretty lucky.

I feel like I've said this before, but I want a social media feature where you can temporarily suspend yourself. This would be to help you self control internet addiction.

The idea is, you have an option to suspend your account for X days, and as soon as you click apply, it would log you off, and any attempt to log back on, would just give a message "you still need to wait X time until you can use your account again". Until the time expires, at most you could look around in your settings, but you can't view the timeline, you can't post, you can't search for posts etc.

This would be useful, because even the worst addict will have temporary moments of clarity, where he could think straight for a few minutes, and gather enough willpower to enact such a measure.

The only alternative right now would basically be to completely delete the account, which is far too drastic for most people. I think it would be much easier for someone to suspend their own accounts, to give themselves some away time, knowing that everything they had on it wouldn't be lost forever to them.

@mangeurdenuage
Maybe I've never went deep enough in the watery places of the internet, but I've never encountered a cracked game with actual malware.

The sad part is, there is a context where suggesting tags is not a bad thing. But it's not in microblogging, and it's not in a way to have it right in your face as you're typing. I think it's a feature in Wordpress and I seem to remember early YouTube had it. Haven't played around with either of these 2 recently, so not sure how they work now.

But that's the part you fail to understand, how big of a difference is between suggesting # after the "creative" process of writing your post, in a segregated text box somewhere, hidden from view for most of the time; and having it front and center, all the time, pestering you on how you need to write your post.
That shit is ripe for manipulation and steering the behavior of users.

I hate that I love this.
