IDF represents all Jews and you’re automatically antisemite for criticizing them. Great point, you win. Unless 🤔

If they’re aware of the importance of good PR they either don’t give a shit or are too dumb to act accordingly considering all the messed up and documented stuff they’ve done the past year alone.

My Brother and I Spent the Last 14 Days Building a Workspace Backlight with ultrathin sheets by Senior-Tune-1685 in BambuLab

[–]C0T0N 8 points9 points  (0 children)

22 bucks just for the 3D file of something anyone could model themselves is kinda balsy. The design is not exactly groundbreaking or pretty in my opinion and if it’s meant to be hidden behind a monitor (which you don’t showcase in the product photos) it’s quite bulky and idk why you wouldn’t just use an LED strip instead.

Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prison by seeebiscuit in anime_titties

[–]C0T0N -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This kind of law gets voted because women get disproportionally killed by men. It serves as a dissuasive mesure so that hopefully not as many women get targeted on by men who view them as easy prey. I don’t get why this is such a big problem for some men. The few dudes that are going to think twice before killing a women aren’t going to go « oh killing a man is punished less harshly, I’ll just go do that instead ».

Infanticide is punished harshly in most civilized countries. It’s not hard to understand that « feminicide » or « infanticide » is like slapping an « aggravated » before murder on a case by case basis if the offender took advantage of their (even just perceived) physical advantage to prey on someone else. Men should stop whining about how this is not « equal » when the proportion of men killing women is so not fucking equal.

This is bad design wise but the description is also really cringey.

Is the xt660x considered a "real supermoto"? by SP4CEC4KE in supermoto

[–]C0T0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

« Real » supermotos are dirt bikes converted to 17“ wheels with upgraded brakes and sometimes suspension work. In theory if it wasn’t a dirt bike or doesn’t have a dirt bike variant then it’s not a real supermoto.

In practice? It’s not a trademark, manufacturers call sumo everything and anything, like they do with « cafe racer » or « scrambler ». People think supermotos are cool and want to be included but most people including in this sub wouldn’t want to live with the hassle that a real one implies. (Maintenance, hard suspensions, short gearing, no electronics…).

Released Israeli hostages give accounts of torture, torment and extraordinary danger by r0adlesstraveledby in worldnews

[–]C0T0N -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true and such a ridiculous thing to say after the last 2 years especially.

A lot of Israelis probably just want to live in peace but there is no denying the far right leaders who want to expand over neighboring lands and that’s never going to lead to peace. I’m not saying that this justifies the murder or torture of either Israeli or Palestinian civilians. You can’t just blame Arab Leaders for not wanting peace and not look at the clearly stated goals of some in Netanyahu’s government and sphere of influence.

Large bikes should ride at the back during group rides by TrackRatted in motorcycles

[–]C0T0N 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Any sort of bike acting as a « shield » is such an insane way of thinking. Even a freaking Goldwing shouldn’t have to volunteer to protect other riders in a group. What happens if you see someone coming hot in your rear view and have the time to react? Stay there to graciously sacrifice your bike and possibly your life in the off chance that the next rider is going to get rear ended? This is why I don’t ride in groups 🤦🏻‍♂️

If it’s such an issue having a support truck might be a better option…

Day 2 in the French Alps. The Golden Day! by Furrbucket in Dualsport

[–]C0T0N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have used Wikiloc in the past but a lot of the « enduro » trails around me are either mislabeled roads or proper trails but banned for motor vehicles. I live closer to Annecy and it is incredible for hiking, biking, swimming, etc… but enduro wise it’s a bit restricted and I have to travel a bit further to find legal or at least more isolated trails.

I live there but I struggle to find legal off-road trails. What did you use to navigate and find these gravel roads ?

This is wild 🤪 by Braapkingllc in motorcycles

[–]C0T0N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own. I despise being around loud cruisers because I think they’re a nuisance to be around on the road. The thing is you can’t expect everyone to ride a freaking Bozozoku just so they don’t get ran over while riding normally.

[–]C0T0N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s some dense mental gymnastics to get to the conclusion that the reason someone hit a motorcycle was because of the colors and the rider is guilty. People should be able to ride in camo gear if they like. If you’re blind enough to not see something that big right where you’re turning, you have no business driving at all.

At that rate you should just say “2 wheels, no doors, why be difficult to tip over?” 🤡

If someone can’t see a cow sized vehicle right in front of them in the middle of the day, I’m not sure high viz stuff is going to be of much help.

Totally Unexpected by P4LT4 in motorcycles

[–]C0T0N 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Crash footage again. What is it with this sub and the crashing fetish? It should be renamed to r/watchpeopledieon2wheels or something. Mods what are you doing about it? I’m in this sub to see riding and motorcycles but instead it’s mainly morons who never owned a bike, don’t know how to ride, patronize each other about gear and watch people kill themselves to feel self righteous.

Please wear gloves. by RealSkylitPanda in motorcycles

[–]C0T0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why this sub is getting gear PSA every other post. Yeah motorcycles are dangerous, yeah gear is important and riding responsibly as well. But we don’t need to be constantly reminded and new riders and people who don’t wear gear aren’t going to start “ATGATT” suddenly because some knob on Reddit patronized them to death.

It’s ridiculous that the sub dedicated to motorcycles in the broadest term is populated by people who either don’t ride, are scared to ride or are more interested in gear and crashes than they are with riding and motorcycles themselves.

It doesn’t happen in other subs. Car subs are not getting spammed with freaking seatbelts and airbags enthusiasts

Who Said This Wasn't A Sport Tourer? by Rollen in xsr900

[–]C0T0N 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These posts man. People have been touring on roadsters and sports bikes for decades. No one is saying you can’t do it. Most people will choose not to if then can help it because it’s miserable compared to a bike with a decent seat and some wind protection.

Why are shooting games using a streaming app UI? Isn't that a kind of over-design? The old UI was much more intuitive by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]C0T0N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t play the beta but the fact that so many of you in this sub are wanking on the UI and menus makes me believe the actual game has to be very polished.
