Bread is love, bread is life
  • Bread is a whole lot of work to make than say, rice. Bread isn't cheap, it's only cheap because some of the ingredient might've been subsidised in one way or another, to make sure the country isn't starving. It's popular among us peasant because it could last, it's one of the most versatile ingredient available, and it's filling.

  • Funny that i'm chinese and living in asia as well and i support that. Western folks have a weird sense of justice that they want to protect everyone, to a point i feels like they're seeing us as a lesser kind that need protection.

  • In the US, there is a 1 in 93 chance you will die in a motor vehicle crash in your lifetime
  • They made the distinction likely because it's clearer that way as a statistic, as the severity of the crash is very distinct between that two mode of transport.

    Also, it's that low compared to pedestrian because the scale of it. In US commuting via motorcycle is around(or below) 5% according to a quick google search. Compared to country like Malaysia, where there's equal amount of car and motorcycle on the road, it tell a different story. 6443 road death has been recorded in 2023, and of that 65% is motorcyclist.

    Also the pedestrian incident meant pedestrian hit by motor-vehicle. Motor-vehicle crash mean car with car crashes, or hitting a tree.

  • My Leomon lose to a caterpillar haha

    I think the dev intended you to avoid most fight, but it's kinda lame since a lot of time enemy will just place right beside you when you enter the area and then rush toward you, and since fighting is not rewarding it's kinda pointless.

  • Definitely worth trying it now with emulator, savestate and speeding up helps with a lot of tedious stuff and risk-taking, i emulate it with my phone and it sure helps that i don't have to stick to the front of my pc to play it. I love the mystery the world bring, and it encourage you to explore. Difficulty is wonky though.

  • I just started my nostalgia hunt lately, and firstly it's Digimon World after watching some content about it. It's still hold up quite well tbh, even though it does show its age with its system.

  • The days of superfast SUPER73 e-bikes are over... sort of
  • Somehow nobody cares about overpowered cars like overpowered ebikes. Why is selling a car that can go 240 or 400 kmh okay while selling a bike that can go 45 kmh not okay? IMO stopping both would be great.

    Imo, no matter how fast the car can go, there's still limited infrastructure that allow them to do so(highway), but overpowered ebike is ridden everywhere, especially pedestrian heavy area, and also easily access by anyone of any age, where car is limited to people who have to go through a driving lesson to get a licence.

    Secondly, your chance of survival when crashing while driving a car at 40kmph is significantly higher than your chance of survival when crashing while riding an ebike at 40kmph. Even at 20kmph, you might get seriously hurt if landing badly w/o helmet while on a bicycle, and since most people don't wear body protection while riding bike, this kinda make it worse.

    Thirdly, most people don't drive super car because of the price, yet a class 3 ebike is quite accessible for a lot of people.

    As someone that always favor bicycle and is riding a class 2 that's almost a class 3, I honestly don't think both case is comparable. All or nothing is a terrible argument anyway.
