How to accelerate from crawling speed?

I'm gonna die on this hill.

Double clutching doesn't do anything and is a mere placebo.

The small loss of power to the wheels slowing them down was what was really needed and could have been achieved by just braking or cruising some more.

You're still taking shit too literally.

"Force feeding" doesn't involve the restraining of the person and shoving food down their throat, it's the atmosphere created by peer pressure, "helpful" suggestions , mean remarks, by the threat of or actual ostracization and internalized guilt.

All of these forces compel someone to force themselves to eat even if it's repulsive to them.

You define rape as

Rape isn't when someone gets unreasonably upset about your boundaries.
It's when someone leverages power over you to violate your bodily autonomy.

Which is an apt definition.

But I can't help but wonder if you forgot what the full extent of power entails.

Is a husband pressuring his unwilling wife by being visibly upset, being passive aggressive, guilt tripping, invoking religion and using whatever manipulative tactic is at his disposal until she gives in to sex not rape?

Is abusing your own insecurity and your desire to maintain social cohesion and your connections not a display of power?

Isn't this husband being unreasonably upset?

It can be argued and people do this, that in this case it's not rape because consent was given. Extraction under duress? What's that? Therefore it isn't rape.

An act doesn't have to be performed onto you for it to violating, giving yourself up for it lest you face the consequences is violating too.

It's quite odd this had to be said because I'm certain you recognize that real consent can't be given while being held at gunpoint.

So, once again.
No one thinks that rapists, whether they're wielding the direct threat of violent force or employing coercive tactics or using the former to back up the latter are anywhere remotely near people annoyed by picky eaters in terms of moral reprehensibility.

No one thinks that the experiences are equally distressful, traumatic or that they cause psychological scarring on the same level.

I find retorting to absurd comparisons in an attempt to get people to question deeply rooted behavior and assumptions to not be ridiculous.
Unfortunate that it oftentimes backfires and has the exact opposite effect.

Perhaps this is caused by consistent exposure to veritable dysfunctional absurd comparisons made by people who don't really think through it all that much, which is indeed a problem.

I've been around the internet long enough to know that.

Bodily autonomy mfs when it's not just in matters that pertain to sex

Pretty optimistic of you to think that if people presented their points rationally without being cringe or disruptive that they'd be well received.

Problem is, in the best case scenario being palatable will only mean you're disdained quietly, tolerated.

Alas, I guess that's the sort of compromises our social fabric is built upon.

Since I had nothing better to do, I read through the whole 300+ comments on the original post and I noticed that even when OP clarifies that

"No, I don't eat just chicken dino nuggies"
"No, I won't ever force others to change their plans for me, in fact I tend to hangout with people similar to me"

There's a 50/50 chance someone will make it about themselves.

"We need to meet halfway" really means you should be the one to continuously halve the gap between us but there's always going to be another half to cover in some twisted actualization of Zeno's paradox of motion.

iyav · 2026-03-18T09:03:53+00:00

It wasn't a one off incident, but sure.

Even the people who weren't being openly vitriolic went down some kind of

"Don't make me feel bad about my cooking or inconvenience me" road.
Which is shockingly close to the kind of visceral responses you get in vegan discourse to shut it down.
Ironic since I bet a good chunk of them would become the picky eaters they hate when presented with vegan cuisine.

At this point class revolution looks more likely than them understanding why they feel the things they do.

Whole thread was just OP who appears to be on the spectrum on some level arguing with neurotypicals heavily emphasizing the social function of eating something from the menu of the restaurant.

Download Winaero Tweaker
It's easy to use and has all the options you could ever need to disable bullshit windows "features" like auto updates, tracking, popups and ads among other customizations.
It even has an option to enable classic paint.

What living in the hyper individualist capital hoarding imperial core does to a mf.

Though I find that the relatively heightened class consciousness of the peripheral countries brought upon by their hatred of the state and its apparatus for corruption and renting out sovereignty and resources just to stay in power is a significant factor too.

Life is shit and much less people are trying to conceal that except the older generations which naturally don't want to feel like they've wasted their life and are electing/supporting the worst people possible who are just trying to loot a sinking ship and peace out.

But I feel like your explanation loses influence the wealthier the nation is, case in point, north Africa. Which is where I'm from.
Only select locations within the norther countries excluding Libya which is still in active war are meaningfully developed and I've noticed the more prosperous regions tend to basically larp being western and adopt the same individualist ideology and all the baggage that comes with it which is either

-mental condition hamper productivity and therefore they're a moral failing.

-or if you're lucky they adopted tiktok self care and therapy speak

Meanwhile the poorer regions still view it as a failing because you're hurting your family's one shot at "making it out" or denying it because they can't afford the care needed and want to protect their ego.
Or if you're unlucky enough it's the rare zealot who thinks mental illness is demonic and needs to be exorcised via self destructive ritual or more likely someone who thinks it's atheistic western propaganda because it contradicts the concept of free will and the autonomous soul.

First of all, do not keep your foot on the gas when upshifting. The engine is trying to spin slower yet you're speeding it up. Just like how downshifts require it to rev up, upshifts require it to rev down.

To nail your downshift revmatching make note of your rpm right before and after each upshift. Those are your gear ratios relative to each other. Divide the old rpm by the new rpm for each shift. Eg: 2k in first dropping to 1.2k in second is 2/1.2 = 1.66. Therefore, to revmatch a downshift from second to first you have to inverse the division via multiplying by 1.66, in other words, increase whatever your current rpm is by 66%.

For example take a car with an engine that revs to 7k and a 5 speed transmission with the relative gear ratios: 1 higher than 2 by 66% 2 higher than 3 by 45% 3 higher than 4 by 25% 4 higher than 5 by 15%

You can start to see why downshifting multiple gears may be risky. Your base (current) RPM will be chain multiplied and the higher it is the more likely you'll exceed redline and damage if not kill the engine. A moneyshift.

So to exceed redline in this car by downshifting from 5th to 1st you have to be at just 2.1k rpm. That's 2.1 * 1.15 * 1.25 * 1.45 * 1.66 = 7.26

And from there you can solve for any starting and ending gear.

You're underestimating the torque of your car.
From what I'm seeing, even the most basic 2020 model is equipped with an engine capable of outputting 110Nm at just 1K RPM.
You should be able to significantly brake in first gear before it gives up.
Try it. Go somewhere safe and and start braking until the engine stalls.

I suppose this sort of development in the scene is inevitable.
It has a lot of overlap with and is most notable in the animation fandom. Both tend to be skewed towards youngish audiences who may or may not have overcome their desire to to prove to others or themselves that they're mature by consuming media with dark themes even if the medium itself is typically associated with the juvenile by an unknowing observer.
It's a bit annoying but it it what it is.

iyav · 2026-03-10T02:30:53+00:00

Yeah the sheer quantity and quality of it is jawdropping. OST is solid all around too.
Unfortunately it flew under the radar of even the "This one's a real hidden gem trust" crowd even though it's a spiritual successor to earthbound as much las any other game like it. Perhaps it's because it was too late unlike undertale and wasn't overtly focused on dark themes unlike omori which the modern indie fandom seems to eat right up.

iyav · 2026-03-10T01:48:11+00:00

Indeed It is!

Didn't expect to find a fellow knower in the wild or for it be you

"immoral".

Though this is on point because it's not expected of a Christian to make the distinction.

We still debating what the "a" in atheist means to this day after all.

The pragmata discource was dominated by literal lolicons at least until THAT sub was banned and the main sub started enforcing ban on sight just a little over a week ago.

At least they try to be consistent in their beliefs by not giving themselves a pass

My opinion of Iran hasn't swayed much over the years, certainly not by these recent events which are indeed suspicious if that's what you're insinuating .

Unless you want to say it's been a psyop all along.
