a little while ago, a project by the name of "polyMC" which is an open source minecraft launcher, got coup'd by the one transphobic dev and he managed to totally sieze power over the discord server and the github repository, and kick all the other devs off. the other devs all had to fork polyMC and rebase their efforts on whats now "prism launcher" which is of course very rainbow themed and whats generally recommended by minecraft players

rust takes AGES to compile literally anything. also the compiler on i686 requiring SSE2 instructions is a massive thorn in my side as a old computer user and is the primary driver of my hatred of rust lmao. it gets in my way quite a lot since rust has creeped its way into a lot of open source projects these days

unless you're ready to spend hours of your day doing research online scraping ancient fourm posts so solve "weird issue the car is having #1356" and then spending the rest of the day using your garage full of tools that you definitely have to fix said issue, dont buy a car as old and run-down as that one.

I own a 199x honda integra with 25x,xxx miles on it, its a phenomenal car and runs fantastic, but god damn if it sometimes doesnt throw the strangest issues at me. many of which stemming simply from the fact its over 25 years old and parts age and degrade.

like i tell all my non-car-person friends, dont get a project car unless you want to be poor forever

basially, unless you know what you're getting into, and are ready to become a car-person, dont.

USA went and banned import of the cheap chinese EVs so your only options now are $70k SUVs and the elon bazinga-mobile lineup
