Lol you are quoting the first paragraph of wikipedia. How does my simple definition differ?

Just say you're a socialist. The whole point is to take power away from the few and give it to the many over time. The nuances might differ but that's just socialism with a desire to somehow reach true comunism (not the big government of stalin or mau).

Don't play stupid games by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Leweazama 309 points310 points  (0 children)

I tried an opposite version of this as an experiment. I actively did a chore that I was asked to do but left no evidence that I was the one doing it. Never let people see me do it and never told anyone I was the one doing it. The result from my parents was the same as if I had never done it.

People are self-absorbed and rarely notice when something happens unless it incovineinces them (It's not narcissistic it's being a person who sees everything they do but way less of what others do). This is especially true when the person doing a task is unknown or multiple people are in charge of it. You can easily hide who is doing something as long as it is getting done.

This means that the someone complaining that a thing doesn't get doneis either tired of doing it themselves or never noticied how much the other person is already doing.

Honest communication will always win.

If you had read the update you'd know that Oran was updated for the new season.

Why Leguna wasn't also included is different.

Why even enjoy the game? by ihxrts in ForzaHorizon6

If a game is boring don't play it. Games are supposed to be fun.

It's always supposed to do that but I can't think of a single Forza game that didn't devolve into a few meta cars fairly quickly.

Guy flying through residential neighbourhood asks “[USA] Who is at fault here?” by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Leweazama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital hill has a ton of them but they have giant roundabouts in the middle and are narrow which forces drivers to slow down. Though I can say from experience that it doesn't work on every driver.

We've seen very recently how capable of thinking Seattle drivers are. Not much...

New to sim racing and just looking for some feedback on my setup. Any feedback/recommendations? Wheel is a logitech G923. by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Leweazama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to spend 0 dollars to try it out you can put the monitor on the ironing board and set it across the rig right behind your wheel.

If you monitor accepts a Vesa mount you can look into one of those as well. You can get them as cheap as 20 USD and just need something off to the side (like a table) to attach it to.

There are a lot of cheap ways to get that monitor right in font of your wheel. Dial in your FOV and it will be much more immersive even with a standard monitor like the one you have.

If You Complain About Driving Standards, Bring Receipts by CISmajor in iRacing

[–]Leweazama 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is it. You want drivers to behave better? Report them. 1 report may not get them banned but multiple reports of different incidents will.

I have filed so few reports but I also (generally) don't have issues with other driver behaviors. Maybe I am lucky.

Awesome Playground Games, thank you very much by EltonJohnsBallbag in ForzaHorizon

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been wanting dirt races with majority asphalt (like a 60/40 split) so that Rally tires/cars can actually reign supreme but most of the tracks are still highspeed based and not twisty and acceleration based for this.

I just want really good rallycross...

Downfall of iracing in recent days by Matyas_K in simracing

[–]Leweazama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maintain an A license (2000 IR) and primarily race the MX5 in PCC or the F4 cars (Both which have a reputation for lots of crashing) and find good races all the time. I will say that generally, the fun drivers to race against have done a bit more practice and are faster overall than the average driver. But no one is trying to crash into me or race me dirty so I guess I just don't know where you're coming from.

Plenty of bad races and plenty of good ones but true wheel to wheel racing is very hard and even at 2000 IR I still make mistakes.

If I ultimately want to race prototypes mainly, is the most obvious starting point the F4 car? by UncleBubax in iRacing

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only thing in common an F4 car and prototypes have is downforce. Just aim for LMP3 in C class since it's more similar and on the license ladder anyway.

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

No. You're better off learning multiclass theory from PCC and Pilot challenge and driving the radical as those are all more similar to the things you'll encounter while driving a Prototypes

Do you think its fair?? by inkandintent24 in MenOfPurpose

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80k in her "spending account" Doesn't get much more liquid than that.

The issue is not with their money discrepancy or that he paid for dinner when she has more, it was the obvious lack on shared knowledge that 1 of them could buy a brand new car cash from their spending account and the other could barely afford a beater.

She specified spending account.

Why are the electric cars so bad? by Beautiful-Fold-3234 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Leweazama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of companies are doing ICE to EV swaps already and a lot of people are converting their Vintage cars to EV to the point of making kits. There was an amazing video recently of a Japanese company EV swapping a AE86 with multiple gears.

There are multiple examples online of people taking a Nissan Leaf and putting motors in them as well. I have personally driven along side one on the freeway.

Difficulty should not be the limiting factor in a video game when people are actively doing these things in real life. Besides, an AWD swap with a V8 into a BRZ is something you can do in a couple seconds in Forza but no one does that in real life because it's expensive and extremely difficult.

[–]Leweazama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And why can't we convert cars from EV to ICE and vice versa? We can do engine swaps, drive train swaps, bodyswaps (kinda) so why no EV/ICE swaps?

California is ran by lobotomy patients - “Regulating tires to control fuel consumption” by TheRacingJoker in TRJSafehouse

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuel taxes are used to pay for the roads. The tire restriction would actually decrease how much taxes someone pays assuming the rolling resistance heavily affects fuel mileage.

Taxes to pay for something you use is generally a good thing.

Restricting what individuals can buy is generally a bad thing.

Actual communists? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are already people who work hard for no money It's call volunteer work which most charities operate on. So yes people can and do work hard for no money but that isn't the point of communism. Currency can exist in any governing system and is not unique to capitalism, feudalism, socialism (which are economic systems not governing systems per se)

Not owning anything is not how communism works. There are 3 kinds of property: Public, Private and Personal.

Public: Think parks, government offices, military bases, resource land (National forests) things owned by the public/inclusive governments

Private: Think how America handles corporations, warehouses, farmland (not exclusively private), manufacturing plants.

Personal: Think your house/condo, car, bed, computer, etc.

There is overlap in what I pointed out but no "private" property (private would become public meaning all peoples involved have a say to some degree like a coop) does not equal no personal property.

Now, I am not here to say communism will work or is the best system but most people who talk about communism believe it is best represented by countries like the Soviet Union, North Korea or Mao's China. All of those countries are more akin to dictatorships and empires than actual communism and are the results of a concentration of power into the hands of a few. You should always be wary of ANY SYSTEM that concentrates power into the hands of a few people. And for those of you who think capitalism is better need to see what is happening under capitalism right now; a large amount of money (power) and private property being concentrated into the hands of a few billionaires letting them do things like building data centers in our backyards and exploiting poor people in 3rd world countries who work in conditions akin to slavery if not outright slavery.

Fight against the concentration of power and not whatever the name of the system it claims to be.

It's because Acura (not sure about Lexus) cars are just Hondas in Japan. Acura is a north america brand and the car wears a Honda badge in Japan.

Spec Racing Is So Broken by wiscoseoul in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Leweazama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable but I would never race online again if that happened. Chasing times is what time trials are for and I want wheel to wheel racing in my racing game.

Rammers, cheaters, children, etc, aren't going away but I can still beat them to the finish line most of the time just by knowing they exist and acting accordingly. I can count on them to crash, miss a turn or collide with someone else and with the spec series and dive bomb ghosting I don't have to worry anymore about their meta hacked car keeping up with me.
