Driving down a road in the countryside is really quite underrated... But it also wouldn't be affected by changing urban planning to include less cars.

More respectful driving culture tbh

California drivers are asleep at the wheel, Massachusetts drivers hate each other, Texas drivers hate everyone... By contrast, British Columbia drivers are at least somewhat sane and respectful.

Do people just magically assume the world is some diverse candy land? The boers are probably one of the only people Russia can bring in without expending any political capital. It's that simple.

Nobody was prepared for this evolution of warfare. You can now build an explosive-carrying device the size and radar profile of a large bird.

But, for what it's worth, Russian state media is saying that it was saboteurs... which is probably more likely given the distance from the frontline than an Ukrainian-operated drone.

If India was weaker and more compliant with US demands, these stories wouldn't be getting past the editor. You can look at coverage on China in the 2000-2015 period and compare it to today.

Moving white people to Russia is racist? Huh.

This is the same transition that the West had on China a few years ago. When it becomes clear that you won't become another puppet of the West and want to carve out your own interests, the West immediately flips on you.

the Taliban is creating a large-scale camera surveillance network for Afghan cities that could involve repurposing a plan crafted by the Americans before their 2021 pullout.

I see that the Taliban is taking notes from it's Western occupiers. London has more security cameras per capita than Beijing and Los Angeles isn't far behind. Kabul is slacking.

Black people can't possibly have a better grasp of what's going on in their backyard than white people on the other side of the planet.

Who's consuming? China, the single biggest driver of increasing oil consumption for the past few decades, is predicted to hit peak oil this year and their oil demand is collapsing due to the massive market share of EVs in the Chinese market.
