Crowned and also they have grooves, and usually those grooves are shaped mostly by heavier vehicles, vans, trucks and such. Normal passenger car doesnt really fit into those so it sort of wobbles from one to another.
Also, the shape of your tires, your wheel alignment, suspension bushings and other stuff affects it as well.
Oh right. I guess I really need to focus on my reading comprehension, its been shit for like two weeks now. This is not the first time in recent times that I have completely misunderstood something.
Or maybe I have finally become as stupid as I always thought I was.
Doesn’t that sort of support Pax Americana being a real thing? If conflicts get worse when America withdraws?
Yeah thats how I thought about it. Like, one such silly post every now and then is good fun etc. But if the whole account is just being a clueless dummy “just asking questions” in bad faith, it gets tiring very fast. But yeah, that’s how I use the block list, remove annoyances.
See the movie Life of Brian
lol I’ve seen this guys (these guys’s? the profile says its being used by multiple people?) posts before and I’ve thought “is this person serious? Should I block them?” every time I’ve seen their posts. Seems like my hunch was correct.
Yes but with determination, perseverance and some other stuff added into it.
Yeah I just try to keep the local area clean, traffic free and stuff like that. My motivations are not saving the world, its to make my city a bit better.
Yeah I’m leaning on that way as well. I’m not big on these heroic gore festival movies. I’m glad a Finnish movie was successful internationally, but probably not my thing. I might watch it in the next 15 years.
Theres a sort of Finnish flavor to it. Just like theres grit, then theres Aussie grit. Its kind of difficult to put into words, “grit” is just a part of “sisu”, theres more to it.
Yeah thats sort of what I was complaining about. We, as a group, don’t care enough to take collective action. I’m doing my thing, I’m not doing it because I think I’m going to save the world, I’m doing it because I think its the right thing. I’m not under the illusion that me or my friends can change the world. The point I was making (very badly), was that they are not interested in doing even the minimum, so theres absolutely no hope for getting any bigger changes done.
Yeah pretty much everything I’ve read is indicating that the point of no return has been passed and things are only going to get worse. The good thing is, I’ll be dead before the real disaster arrives.
I know.
I don’t really have any hope or positive outlook for humanity to continue for very much into the future
Yeah…
Oh well, I’ve resorted to do things out of spite. I’ll keep living frugally, economically, ecologically because fuck everyone else.
Yeah I think thats the most infuriating thing about all this, it could be solved but because cunts are in charge, it won’t be.

Jokes aside… I’m starting to get a bit desperate and despair with this shit. The world is literally on fire (with all the forest fires etc), oceans are boiling, ice caps and glaciers are melting and causing deadly waves and mudslides and everyone is just going about their business, shrugging things off and buying another iphone.
I’ve sold my car, I use bicycle or public trans, I spend quite a lot of time figuring out which products to buy to be sustainable, my electricity contract has 100% renewables, mostly hydro, I havent bought new clothes in like a decade (and I don’t want to), etc etc… But when I talk to anyone I know about this shit, they just go “oh yeah its horrible, someone should do something about this. Anyway, I just booked a holiday, its 8000km away and we’ll be using a cool jumbo jet to get there!”
Raaaahhh.
Sorry, rant over.
I mean with Portugal, I remember reading a book about conscripts being used to defend colonies and putting down rebellions of locals in Africa and such. For that sort of bullshit I agree, conscription is not the way to go. But for purely defensive purposes, I do not see anything bad about conscription. But thats me with my Finnish background, we havent gone to other lands trying to conquer places. We’ve fought mostly defensive wars, in which the survival of the nation was at stake. The only time we went on a offensive, was to get back areas we lost a few years before. So obviously there is a difference in thinking there and I completely understand the reluctance of places, that used their military to go out and about, to have conscription back. So perhaps the way to do it is to make the laws so that it would be illegal to use conscripts in a non-defensive operations. Like, if Portugal wants to take part in bombing some militants in a ex-colony, that has to be done by volunteers etc. Even russia does (or pretends to do) it like that, I don’t know if they changed it yet, but at least it used to be so that conscripts were not allowed to be sent outside russian borders.
And back to US, what I meant is that once a weapons program is done, its done. Of course they go on for years, even decades, but sometimes they don’t. I wasn’t really arguing that they are not a waste of money, most of them are, mostly, a waste of money. But once they end, they end. Paying pensions and stuff only ends when the person dies. But of course, people live longer than weapons R&D programs, some R&D programs live longer than people. But I think we agree that both are a huge cost and both are kind of unnecessary in different ways. Weapons programs are unnecessary because most of them are completely useless or dead ends, paying soldiers is unnecessary because the US doesn’t have to go and start bombing Iran, they choose to do so and it costs a stupid amount for a long time.
And a final point on the conscription, I’m not saying that its good. I’m saying it MIGHT be necessary. At least in some capacity. Maybe having a purely defensive force is the way to go, like I said, make it illegal for the government to send soldiers to fight, unless they were attacked first. But of course the politicians will find a way around that. Its a complicated subject and I tend to not get into it too much, because I don’t live in these other countries, I don’t know the history, I don’t know the culture. All I know is that our defensive conscription model works for us and it works extremely well for us and nobody wants to get rid of it. But like I said, I completely understand that other places are a bit suspicious about it and I won’t blame them.
Oh yeah! Vitutus is a great word indeed. I should have used that one lol.
Ismo Alanko Säätiö has a song called Vittu Kun Vituttaa, I would have linked a youtube link here but youtube thinks its age-inapproriate and demands a log in. So I recommend you find it on your preferred music service, https://lyricstranslate.com/en/vittu-kun-vituttaa-fuck-im-so-pissed.html
Hehe no worries. I just enjoy self deprecating humor :D I’m actually pretty happy with myself.
Other than the crippling depression and anxiety issues. (:D)
