I tried to use Zen in my work computer but IT flagged it and made me uninstall it, due to privacy and security concerns. The approved browsers are edge, chrome and vanilla Firefox.

Go figure

It does get misused in that exact way sometimes. I’m from Mexico, these cases have been making big headlines here for a while now, some prosecutors are misclassifying cases as femicide to grab attention to their political careers.

Local one a couple of years ago where a dude ran over a woman. Local prosecutor was pushing for femicide, fortunately it was moved to manslaughter as it should have been from the start. Not everything constitutes a hate crime and cases like that (in my opinion at least) would make the distinction meaningless

Actually surprised is that high. Latinos tend to be hyper religious and homophobics to an almost comical degree.

They’ll fucking starve if it means a woman can’t get an abortion and transsexuals dont get gender affirming care. And They’ll do it gladly to protect “family values”

I live nearby where this happened.

As a side note, local authorities have been closing down a lot of shops and restaurants in the aftermath. Safety practices and building codes are basically never followed, local authorities are bribed left and right to look the other way.

The whole state is trying to catch up on years of buildings without permits, inspections, etc.

I’m not from the US so I’m not seeing any of the repercussions first hand (yet…).

It’s so surreal to be honest. We were always sold the image of a USA where everyone was well off.

Not trying to say I don’t understand. I fully get what’s happening, that it’s fucked up and people are suffering. It’s just like watching an illusion break apart.

It’s not much but I just cancelled my subscription yesterday. Fuck these companies

Can confirm. I’m from Mexico and also have stupid family in the US voting republican, specially idolizing the orange idiot

Indeed. I was bullied in elementary school. Became a bully in high school when I moved out to another state and I also got bigger than the average.

Been working through it in therapy for a few years, it was mostly out of fear. I’d be the big bad bully before someone did it to me, not an excuse since I did hurt people and that’s on me. But it is a common thing

Absolutely. There are just too many idiots though

Yeah, it probably would be pills of some kind to me. Honestly the only thing stopping me is that I somehow fuck it up and end up trapped in my own body.

Would be happily retired otherwise

One model works with phones, haven’t tried that one though.

Yeah except the testing. I fixed the hvac and tried to do adaptations, had to pay for a full year subscription again.

I guess it depends on how much you mess around with your car.

Not for that, no. Reading codes from all modules and all live data monitoring are free. You should be fine without a subscription

I have OBDeleven and have used VCDS a couple of times.

OBDeleven does give detailed diagnostics but any coding, testing or adaptations are locked behind a not so cheap subscription.

I honestly regret buying it, much rather pay a bit more for vcds and not have to do the subscription thing

I don’t think MotoAsh was ever comparing people to dog breeds.

As I understood, they were using that comment as an example of how statistics can provid a skewed view about a certain topic.

To your comment though, pit bulls do tend to see different living conditions to some other breeds. Irresponsible ownership is a real problem for pit bulls.

They are strong and hard to train. I don’t think they should all be put down, but I do agree that not just anyone should raise one.

I understand the bite statistics but you have to keep in mind how those are reported too.

No one is reporting their neighbor’s chihuahua taking a bite at their boot. Bites from smaller breeds mostly go unreported.

It does give a point as to why pit bulls and other large breeds are dangerous though. Whether they are more common or not, they certainly are far, far more serious when it happens.

Responsible ownership has always been an issue with pitbulls, as irresponsible people tend to adopt and breed them.
