Then why does going faster also make it easier to balance on something without steering, like a snowboard?

My assumption is that when you're standing still relative to the ground you can fall in many directions, but once you start moving momentum limits the directions you can fall to the ones in line with your motion. So the faster you're moving the fewer directions you need to worry about.

A lot of asexuals who masturbate don't do it with a sexual mindset, it's more like an exercise to relieve stress or get a little boost of dopamine.

It would be like asking "what do people without food fetishes think about when eating?" Idk, whatever is on their mind. They might think about how good it feels, but they could also be thinking about something totally unrelated.

I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It's funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.

"Obviously I couldn't dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game..."

It's sort of like The Button thought experiment.

They usually only use the horn at crossings. Automated trains are grade separated. The SkyTrain rolls through Vancouver all night and you can hardly hear it.

Trains are way easier to make self driving too, we've had autonomous trains since the 60s.

Pretty sure it's the previous model which is now a museum exhibit.

Good point, that's more accurate. I just wanted to get specific with the type of right wing nonsense I've seen from him.

Lunduke is a terf.

Most EVs don't have transmissions, so at least that's one less thing to worry about.

He's the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.
