  • A "fun" car is car that encourages dangerous driving by pretending to be a "sports" or "competitive" car or simply pretending it's for "precision" driving or "racing". Tuned cards, high horsepower cars, supercars. Do you understand it now? Cards should encourage safe, responsible driving. Yes, distracted driving kills the most people by speeding is close second and there's entire industry of automotive press and TV shows that encourage it by promoting the idea that driving fast is fun. They kill thousands of people every year.

  • No, not a lot, only highways in Germany AFAIK. Where I live the limit is 120 so 150 is always over the limit. Road fatalities in Germany are the same as in my country because in Germany you also have idiots driving 200km/h. What you have to do is adjust your speed to the conditions. Depending on how the roads are build the limit will be different but if you're driving 50km/h faster than everyone else you're creating dangerous situation. Same if you're driving too slow obviously.

  • Where I live Audi's drivers are the worst. It's like they are for losers that would like to do some posturing but can't afford a Mercedes and their frustrations manifest themselves in their stupid driving style.

  • Unpopular opinion: all "fun" cars should be banned from public roads. You think driving is "fun"? Go to a racing track and have fun there. When I'm commuting I want to get to work safely, that's my only objective. I don't want to share the road with an idiot who thinks he's the next Schumacher and can drive safely at 150km/h. All cars should have speed limiters installed. Why can they drive faster then the national speed limit at all? It makes no sense. You want to race? Put your racing car on a flat bet and carry it to the racetrack, I don't care. The idea that driving is "fun" is cancer that killed more people than.. well, real cancer. Shows like Top Gear that promote this idea are responsible for more deaths than Nazis.

    Edit: Ok, I was wrong, cancer kills more people. Bad example. 1.3M people die in car accidents every year. Speeding is the second most common cause. Just think about another example like guns or something.

  • Because tree falling in forest doesn't make a sound or something like that. You ever only hear about the ones that are promoted for clicks on the internet. I'm sure the are hundredths of grandpas that texted the wrong person, became friends and never bragged about it on Instagram.

  • Well, that' really depends if you like their content or not, right?

    Also, they don't limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.

  • Yes, corporation raise prices when they think people are willing to pay higher price for their product. Is this news to you? Where do you live? I would like to move there and live happily without ever knowing how the world functions and worrying about it.

  • If you subscribed to Netflix because you planned on sharing password and you think it's not worth the full price then the moment you can't share your password anymore and you cancel it. No money lost, you used it for some time and now you don't use it. What's the problem? Did you get addicted to it? It's not cigarettes. Seriously, it's entertainment and people talk about it like its insulin.

    I wasn't sharing my password with anyone so I didn't care about the policy change.

  • Because they we're really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It's a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it's not worth it.

  • I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn't able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there's just one language and that's it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I'm interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.

  • Seriously, which part are you not getting? I'm not saying that Catalonia doesn't have stronger economy when compared with the rest of Spain. I'm saying it's normal, it happens in every country, it's not because there's something special about Catalans and it doesn't give them any special rights. Which part don't you understand?

    What you do is come here and repeat lies spread by Catalonia while saying "I don't know, I just heard that...". What's the point of that? You're just helping spread misinformation.
