Where I live (Slovakia) the line I use to get to school has been here since 1880ish. SINCE 1907 it rides 120km/h it hasn't sped up for 118 years LOL.

Ah yes, instead of making the normal windows search usable, shove AI everywhere so we can steal more data.

Yes, I agree, that's exactly why I think we should focus more on building safe infrastructure, because if it isn't safe enough to ride without a helmet it never will become used as mass method of transportation.

In the Netherlands 96% of the people don't use helmets while their injuries are very low. It's about the infrastructure mentality. Like you wouldn't take a helmet for walking? It's the same for them.

I come from Slovakia and I have to disagree with your view that the USSR is awesome and hasn't done almost nothing bad. After the war USSR in Czechoslovakia performed similarly imperialist things as USA did during it's history. This includes falsifying election results, banning every party except the communist. It essentially took a before free country as it's satellite. Source

Also in 1968 In CSK began an era of liberalization, that is lifting on travel ban, enabling free speech,... The USSR saw this as us distancing from them and invaded us with army. After this they changed our government and begun the strictest era of the regime. For example: You couldn't consume ANY western culture, religion was banned. I have a friend, who illegally imported CS Lewis books, and spent time in prison for that. Source There's an excellent movie on this called Waves (2024). I highly recommend it, cause it showcases more views on the invasion, like the soldiers, who thought that here was a fascist dictatorship.

There's many details I haven't mentioned but if you disagree I hope for meaningful conversation.

For the record, I am very much on the left and I think that both socialism and communism can work in the real world, but not like the USSR
