The vast majority of people there were PMC at worst, not bourgeois.

You can buy roblox cards in the street, so actually they do

Despite thinking he's a commie he's still the most popular major politician, which does give some hope.

The goal is that now that they've been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.

Interceptors are more difficult to make than the missiles themselves, and often are more expensive. They also don't have 100% interception chance so you need to fire 2-4 just to be sure.

Abaya and the male equivalents are mostly adaptations to arid, sunny climates and predate Islam.

Exactly. And beyond that, telling someone whether neurotypical or neurodiverse in a different way than you that entertaining their worldview and having empathy is immoral is then fundamentally not distinguishable from engaging in bad faith. It's necessary to be able to do that in order to be able to engage with someone in good faith.

There are fundamental pragmatic issues with engaging in good faith with someone when your most basic axioms are fundamentally incompatible - and that goes both ways. If you are someone who deeply holds beliefs in, say, solipsism, rejection of the assumption that there is such a thing as reality, then having a good faith conversation with someone else about anything will likely eventually just be a conversation about your basic ways to understand, because those elements are so fundamental that you cannot suspend them for the sake of understanding as you don't have anything left to understand with. So all you're left with are discussions about the fundamentals, and if you can't have those in good faith ( I don't believe that the ways that the user engaged with people who, say, rely on the assumption that there are things that are real was productive, and at some point it was simply calling other people ignorant for not accepting that framework, which stretches the very limit of good faith), then it's over.

I don't believe that refusing to accept such a strongly alien framework means that you are NDphobic. There are just limits to the extent at which someone can accept a different conceptual framework, and that's okay. Calling people NDphobic or neuronormative because of that is deeply problematic, even if it's deeply held, and I think it may be problematic enough to be called reactionary. Plenty of neurotypical people are solipsists or have basic conceptual frameworks that are far outside the norm, and if there is some kind of neurodivergence which imposes a framework that is completely alien to even the slightest realism (I don't believe there is, fwiw), then it being rejected isn't moreso a consequence of how thinking works in the abstract than of neuronormative thinking.

Well what more can you do? The law enables enforcement, the enforcement is easy, what else is there to do?

Yep, but it is teenagers doing stupid things levels of effort, though.

It's already legislated to be illegal. The fact that it doesn't look like a bike means it's easy for the law to be enforced - if it doesn't have plates and looks like a bike and certainly if it's going fast that's easy enforcement. All that's missing is the pressure to get useless cops to do their jobs, but that's a solvable problem.

I know many of those, like the original surron, but they look like motorcycles and scooters, not bicycles. It's not impossible to make normal ebike-looking components go at that speed, but it will severely limit their lifespan or outright destroy them and you're still going to need an expensive large battery to make it work, so I'd be surprised.

There's the Bafang Ultra motor that can be hacked to do that (using a laptop and a special cable and shady exes from forums) but last I checked it will overheat and destroy itself without physically opening it and tweaking the thermals if you push it to those numbers. It's not easy to make a motor that can go at that speed and put out that much power and still fit in a normal bike frame.
