Posts from Hero Chat Auto-translated

Hey everyone, is there anyone here who knows a lot about bicycles? I'm thinking of buying one, but like my dad, I'm a complete novice in this area... We've visited all the major sports stores in the city, and they all have different brands, and the sales consultants, of course, praise their own... I'd like to hear some unbiased advice from an experienced cyclist who knows a lot about this.

you should ask AntiArandor. He'll probably recommend a BMX bike :) In principle, a bicycle isn't a car. There's no engine here, no aerodynamics, no airbags, and no automatic transmission either. So, there's no need to overthink it. If you want a bicycle to ride to the store in your old age, get a "senior citizen" model with a basket already attached.
If you want one that fits in a closet, get a folding bike.
If you want a fast sports bike with gears and brakes on both wheels, get a fast sports bike with gears and brakes on both wheels :D
If you want to jump off hills and ride on curbs, buy a BMX.
And in general, one rather dull person said:

a powerful sports bike would be better!:D Heh-heh-heh!!!:D

...

P.S. It's not just Arandor who says "heh," so it wasn't him.
P.P.S. Buy a moped-stool) You'll be able to maneuver skillfully in heavy city traffic :)

Lok, a regular Arandor could also help a bit ;) ... well, with the help of someone))

P.S. By the way, multifunctionality won ;DDD

Oh, I missed that. Maybe it's for the sake of political correctness? Yeah. By the way, I don't want to seem annoying, but... private message :-[ What do you think?

today wasn't quite right. I only came around at lunchtime... I'll check the links tomorrow. That is, tomorrow, after I sleep =)
P.S. I didn't understand the upper part... uh... never mind, )

Lok, one link doesn't download... the screen just jumps around... I click, it goes further, I click again, it moves somewhere else, but it doesn't download... and so on in a loop... and the other link doesn't download either... there's a download, but no action... I don't know... maybe my internet is bad or the links are outdated (files)... :/

Bad :-( And what about the very first one? Going down the ladder of version degradation? Maybe something will be useful...
P.S. I meant that the classic version won out of political correctness, so as not to encourage children to support minorities; after all, the USA is not the Netherlands:)

P.P.S.
...why is everything exactly this way, and not otherwise? Why are citizens obligated to the country in any way? Through service, taxes, and so on? What is the state, essentially? Some fenced-off territory. People live in it, and some of them, politicians, strive (at least they should) to improve the lives of citizens. They demand taxes and patriotism from them, and in return? A playground? A state school in which money is collected from students for repairs, although the state is precisely obligated to distribute taxes in this way? And the price for this is ridiculously simple – the human soul. Not counting money. Ideally, the structure of the country should make life easier, but is this really the case? Yes, a person can turn on a lamp instead of a candle. Yes, he doesn't dig out latrines; he has a toilet. And we pay for these simple benefits with our very souls. We owe the state for this for the rest of our lives. And we are obligated to unquestioningly obey the "demiurges of the state" – the authorities. And they can do whatever they want with people. And there is no room for dissent. Heretics sit in prison/receive unemployment benefits.
And everyone needs something from you. Everyone tries to stick their dirty, calloused finger into your soul and poke around three times. Is this normal? From all moral points of view, I can punch such a person in the jaw. How about that? "The freedom of every citizen...", "the inviolability of life...". Ha(7). But if you punch an "official" in the eye, that's a crime. A paradox, isn't it? And why is a person obligated to feel patriotism for the "motherland" (what a word they came up with to control people)? Did I choose where I was born? No. But we have the imaginary right to decide for ourselves. And what? And who accuses a robber of a lack of honesty? If he robs a bank, he harms not someone, but the state. The system. An inanimate thing. But this is a crime. Why? Why can't a person survive the way he wants? Not the way they force him to? Totalitarianism. Dictatorship. Heh. In such seemingly simple things. That's how it is. Wouldn't it be better to try to live outside the rigid conditions of "society"? To care less about them? Not to feel guilty for kicking a pebble with your foot? In the end... a person is free to decide for himself, isn't he?

Loken, you're as awesome as ever :) Today I'm in a good mood, so I'm going to ruin it for everyone else :D :p

...why is everything the way it is, and not otherwise? Why are citizens obligated to the country in some way? Through service, taxes, and so on? What is the state, essentially? Some fenced-off territory. People live in it, and some of them, politicians, strive (at least they should) to improve the lives of citizens. They demand taxes and patriotism from them, and in return? A playground? A state school in which students are asked to contribute money for repairs, even though the state is the one that should allocate taxes in such a way?

Russia is experiencing an economic upswing (at least it should be), so it pays minimum wages to teachers and makes small investments to prevent the school from completely falling apart. ALL (and when I say ALL, I mean ALL) fundraising is a personal initiative of the school administration. You can sue them, but keep in mind that it will take much more time, money, and nerves than if you just pay the money. Regarding the state, it is education that exists to protect and provide its citizens with life and blah blah blah. Are you sure you would have been born (in a maternity hospital) without the help of state doctors? With the abolition of the state, any semblance of (let's call it what it is) order will completely disappear, and total chaos will begin, which anarchists so desire (something about these topics has become popular; it's like a seasonal exacerbation, or maybe the main anarchist forum gave the command: "Attack!"?). And then, we will all understand what complete **** is.

And the price for this is ridiculously simple – the human soul. Not counting money. Ideally, the structure of the country should make life easier, but is that really the case? Yes, a person can turn on a lamp instead of a candle. Yes, he doesn't dig out latrines; he has a toilet. But we pay for these simple benefits with our very souls. We owe the state for this for the rest of our lives. And we are obliged to unconditionally obey the "demiurges of the state" – the authorities. And they can manipulate people however they want. And there is no dissent. Heretics sit in prison/receive unemployment benefits.

Loke, our country is huge; sell your (when you get it) apartment, buy a plot of land in western Siberia, and go live a free life. No taxes will be collected from you (why would they care about you in such a, um, remote place), so live peacefully. If that's not enough for you, sell your apartment and go live illegally in the forests; believe me, if you dig REALLY deep, no riot police will find you. And, more importantly, the riot police have more important things to do... By the way, no one is punished for free thought; otherwise, you would already be in prison, as would many writers who publish their books throughout the country, and other people...

And everyone needs something from you. Everyone tries to stick an unwashed, crusty finger into your soul and even poke around a few times. Is this normal? From a moral point of view, I can punch such a person in the jaw. How about that? "Freedom of every citizen...", "inviolability of life...". Ha(7). But if you punch an "official" in the eye, that's a crime. Paradoxical, isn't it?

The paradox is that you are encroaching on someone else's health (you are attacking a person), believing that it is your right...

And why is a person obliged to feel patriotism for the "fatherland" (what a word they came up with to control)? Did I choose where I was born? No. But our imaginary right is to decide for ourselves. And what?

You are not obliged to feel patriotism; you are obliged to fight for the state for all the above benefits, as well as for a whole wagonload of other benefits.

And who accuses a robber of a lack of honesty? If he robs a bank, he harms not someone, but the state. The system. An inanimate thing. But this is a crime. Why?

If a person robs a bank, he robs the citizens who have invested their money there, and if, let's assume, it is a state bank, then he robs the citizens, depriving the budget of money for schools and so on...

Why can't a person survive in the way he wants? Not the way they force him to?

Out of all the clichés, you managed to say the most cliché one :) Okay, let's say a person has the right to survive as he sees fit, and we have the right to prevent such attempts and punish that person, up to and including his destruction, in order to ensure OUR survival. He survives as he can, and we survive as we can; it's all fair, isn't it? :)
Why have anarchists never appealed to me? Their arguments are clearly aimed at a part of the "dumb herd," only that part that wants to be "different from everyone else," but in reality, it doesn't differ from the rest of the mass in any way.
Loke, if you feel that I have offended you somewhere, I'm sorry; I didn't mean to (lately, I've unintentionally offended so many people).
Well, arguments are still necessary so that there is a place to release energy (not in the Heroes chat, of course) :)

P.S. Everyone is silent, waiting for Loke's answer :)

Lock, no... it doesn't work =(... either the page doesn't load, or some other nonsense happens... I don't know what's going on.

Siver, we're not waiting) there's just nothing to say...

Damn... I almost waited for Lok, he's already on the forum... but unfortunately, Uncle Morpheus (not to be confused with morphine :D) is already calling me...

Well, why not... morphine also has a relaxing effect.
...
Argh, that sucks. Completely. But there must be a way, right?

Siv...
I perfectly understand that what I said wasn't original :) but I can't help it. And I'm not an anarchist at all; one of my friends is an anarchist:D. He even has an avatar on one forum with a grumpy Putin. It says "killer" on it.
Anarchists just don't really know what they want. They're like party members; they want to destroy the world and build a new one. But it usually doesn't go beyond the first step.
I just want independence from everything. At least just for myself:)
Independence from bureaucracy, from the authorities, from neighbors in the stairwell.
From diplomas, certificates, sanctions, and endless forms. It's a terrible feeling – every citizen is under surveillance. It's very unpleasant.

Buy a plot of land in Western Siberia and go live a free life.

Damn it.
I knew you'd say that :)
What's stopping me from living in the urban jungle? Something not obvious? Hmm... perhaps just the complexity of it. But there are plenty of ways to escape our corrupt government.
This isn't about a call to action; it's just me.

The paradox is that you infringe on someone else's health (attack a person) believing that it is your right...

Not at all. The constitution, Siv. The right to privacy, etc. The only problem is that the government can ignore its own regulations.

If a person robs a bank, they are robbing the citizens who have invested their money there, and if it's, say, a state bank, they are robbing the citizens by depriving the budget of money for schools, etc...

Nonsense. All banks are insured. The insurance company will simply lose some amount, which is tiny compared to the annual turnover.

And in general... do people live decently in our country? I won't say, I won't say. So criticism is not a bad thing at all.

P.S. I bought myself a Rubik's Cube. I twisted it three times and couldn't repeat it in reverse order :) Now I've completely messed it up.

P.P.S. I'm learning a new way to train agility – juggling. For safety, I'm using coins, but I'll wait with the knives :) For now, I'm juggling with two. I've almost learned not to drop them... progress is quite fast.

P.P.P.S. Essentially, everything consists of ordered atoms, and everything in the world is unreal.

P.P.P.P.S. My anarchist friend somehow got his hands on some real German beer, it's amazing :Р
I can't even pronounce the name because it's too weird.
It seems like he stole it from a friend whose father gets it from a colleague at work who travels on business trips abroad :)
We'll hang out again next week :)

Nonsense. All banks are insured. The insurance company will simply be short a certain amount, which is insignificant compared to its annual turnover.

So, consider that you have caused damage to the insurance company:D They also don't want to pay out to a multitude of bankrupt banks (what if everyone wants to earn money this way?). Protecting private enterprise, huh?:)

Not at all. The constitution, Siv. The right to privacy, etc. The only problem is that the state can ignore its own regulations.

Explain to the uneducated what the right to privacy is:(

P.S. I'm learning a new way to train agility - juggling. For safety reasons, I'm using coins, but I'll wait with the knives.

That's good:)

P.S. I bought myself a Rubik's Cube. I twisted it three times and couldn't repeat the sequence in reverse. Now I've completely messed it up.

And that's good too, develop your intuition and wisdom (although I'm not entirely sure about the latter, but I think it will improve too).

P.P.S. In essence, everything consists of ordered atoms, and everything in the world is unreal.

And you can't argue with that:)

Regarding the Rubik's Cube: the world record for solving it is 9.77 seconds. O_O And, if I'm not mistaken, a computer can solve it in no more than 25 moves.

By the way, regarding the bicycles: my dad and I finally bought bikes :) I'm posting a picture of mine (my dad's is almost the same, just a different color)

But please, don't think I'm bragging :o

Oh, God... why me?... This is just awful... who would have thought that something like this would happen today??... Yeah... it's terrible, just terrible... =(((

Hell awaits whoever invented these viruses... bastards... I had to reinstall Windows because this virus disabled my antivirus (which, admittedly, wasn't up to date). Well, it's not that bad, I guess... games and stuff... forget about them... I wasn't playing them anyway, and most of them are on discs... except for BG (the buggy one) and Nwn2 and a couple more... I specifically sat down and copied all the files I needed to a second hard drive: saves, avatars, and other stuff... even things that weren't really necessary... So, after reinstalling, I look in my folder and what do I see? Or rather, what *don't* I see?!... There's no folder with my ICQ files!! It had all the files that people sent me! All the photos and stuff, but the worst thing is that the CHAT HISTORY is gone!!!... That's awful... =(((((( It was a part of me... Sigh
Now I have to set everything up again... I borrowed an antivirus from a friend... I just need to install the applications... It sucks :/
P.S. I'm going to go bang my head against a wall.

P.P.S. Websites are loading slowly too =(... Maybe someone knows what the problem is?

And what exactly did this virus do that was so terrible?
