This is super dope. I hope they do this for pole position for every qualifying session going forward. Show the gap from the perspective of p2.

1. Because the people protesting represent in the single digit percentages of the voter base of America. An extremely vocal minority, but still a minority of Americans.

2. Boy who cried wolf situation. Protesting every single thing endlessly for years on end has made the average person stop caring about whatever you’re protesting about. Not saying it’s right but that is how many people view continual protesting.

3. The far left protests lost most of their corporate backing this time around. As soon as the bean counters up top realized that pandering to the social stuff on the left wasn’t going to net them record profits they all dropped supporting the issues like a bad habit. They saw the popular vote change and they all dropped their masks immediately. Remember this in 10 years when the balance swings back again and you see target suddenly pretending to give a shit about gay right again or whatever it is at that time. They only ever cared about money.

4. Lack of unified direction of protests. There are tons of local and small group protests as many people have linked in the comments, but outside of these small tight-knit online communities planning these things the general public has absolutely no clue any of them are happening. There isn’t a single unifying “thing” to rally around like the BLM protests had with George Floyd. When the angry mob can’t direct their anger all in the same direction it loses power.

5. Since modern media runs on outrage (clicks) and they have seen that most people don’t care anymore they have moved onto other things in order to generate the clicks they want to make the money for the big guy.

Until thunder adds the ability to DM people properly I can’t really fully leave sync behind. The second thunder gets DMs working I’ll be ditching sync as well.

I don’t need a job that brings me joy. I just need one that pays the bills and doesn’t make wanna walk into traffic after every shift.

Many such cases.

The power rankings are just fluff. Real racing fans hate them. Casual fans glance at them and feel knowledgeable about who the current good drivers are. I blame DTS.

You can’t even call this Horner shit stirring. He’s just right lol.

Helmut needs to go. Idk why Max and Jos want him to stick around so much, but he needs to retire.

I hope Hadjar kills the rest of this season and makes Helmut look even more like a jealous twat.

It’s Ferrari. They never do anything right.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem can eat a dick.

Get this fucking dipshit outta there. We do not need some bullshit moral leader running the FIA. We need someone that actually cares about the driver safety and the integrity of the various racing leagues. That’s it.

Leave the penalty for cursing up to the teams or the people that broadcast. The governing body for racing shouldn’t have any say over that the drivers are or are not allowed to say.

These power rankings are always complete rubbish.

I wish there was a way to consume F1 without having to wade through nonsense filler crap like the power rankings every race weekend.

With sync I see them in your name for every comment you leave.

The way I landed on all my current beliefs was taking in information from as many places as I could and I decided on what I think is right.

There are a ton of topics that can’t have an objectively correct answer which makes things fairly complicated.

You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.

Exclusively doing the exact opposite of Ferrari would probably be a title winning strategy over the course of a year.

Some people get way too comfortable because they only ever run into people whos default reaction is “flight” because they forget that there is another reaction type that some of us have called “fight”.

My little brothers learned really fast that jumpscare “pranks” on me were a bad idea because when someone jumps out at me I tend to react by striking. Probably because I had an older brother growing up that “jumped” me all the time going up so I got used to doing things that way.

This is why I just stay home on Saint Patrick’s day. Green is my favorite color and I pretty much never wear it, but if some random person pinches me I am very likely to react by punching them.

I hate being touched by people I don’t know. Holiday be damned.

I keep my Grinch ass home.

Welcome to Ferrari Hamilton.

Marko is a dusty racist old fuck. He should have retired years ago.

It’s Ferrari. At this point I’m more surprised when they don’t make shit calls or piss off their drivers over the radio.

Hamilton really got the full Ferrari experience first time out lmao.
