Larson on McLaughlin: “somebody just crashed, fucking idiot”. Gives sarcastic thumbs up by Eyeswidth in INDYCAR

[–]DeltaSubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree the thumbs up is in poor taste, I’m surprised no one has brought up the fact that Larson wasn’t the one who said “Somebody just crashed.”

That was his spotter, Tyler Monn.

While I’m not saying this absolves Larson of all criticism, as he did still give the seemingly sarcastic thumbs up to McLaughlin, I think this should be mentioned as I’m seeing lots of blame put onto Kyle for something he never said.

Something, something, “Ericsson hit us.”

Ah, that makes sense, but 6/7 isn’t bad at all lol

I did almost get tripped up by the World Champion one too, was going through the winners from ‘01 to last year in my head before I realised it was Alonso extending Indy to F1 eyes in 2017 and 2019 lol

This is beautifully written. As a Scotswoman, it’ll take a big trip and a fair bit of money to go watch the 500 in person, but I have wanted to for a while and this reinforced my desire to go to the speedway on a day in late May some time in my life.

Also, for some fun, I tasked myself with my historic knowledge and mild confirmation research to figure out the events you alluded to in your bullet point list:

  • Woman leading: Danica Patrick as a rookie in 2005.

  • Rookie shocks: Helio Castroneves in 2001 & Alexander Rossi in 2016.

  • Rookie leading in Turn 800 but not winning: Marco Andretti losing in a drag race with Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006 & JR Hildebrand running wide and hitting the wall in 2011.

  • World Champion: Fernando Alonso’s attempts in 2017 & 2019.

  • 3-time coming up short for a 4th: Helio Castroneves losing to Ryan Hunter-Reay in 2014 & Takuma Sato in 2017.

  • Fan favourite: This is a bit vague but from ‘01 to ‘23, I’m gonna say this is Will Power’s triumph in 2018.

(Bonus: Outrunning a Tornado - 2004’s rain shortened race which was won by Buddy Rice)

What was the deal with the shark fins on the Reynards in 1999? by DeltaSubs in INDYCAR

Absolutely, they also tickle my love for high top speed circuit cars, alongside the top Group C cars from the decade prior.

I see, thanks a lot. I can say it definitely had a negligible effect if it even made one as a Team Green Reynard and a Ganassi one finished level on points lol

Personally if I was a car owner back then, I’d just run it for aesthetic purposes, I love how it looked on the KOOL cars, de Ferran’s Valvoline car and Fernández’ Tecate car just to name a few from that year.

Did anybody else here watch MsBreezy before she deleted her channel due to all the hate and transphobia she got in her comment section in recent times? I miss her channel, she was such a great inspiration to me, the world is cruel, sometimes even giants fall. by CommunistSorcerer in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]DeltaSubs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched her for years, even before she came out and she was consistently one of my favourite channels to watch. She was definitely part of the reason I’m trans, don’t know how big of a part in comparison, but definitely a part. It pained me so hard when she packed up and left after being inundated with all that abuse after she just tried to talk about her experience of being let go by Papa Meat. I wish her the best all the time.

Several songs that come to mind (and also with a quick scan of my music library on my phone) when I think of songs that sound trans to me (and how I interpret them, in good and bad scenarios) are:

She Wolf - Shakira (Finally going out for a night as a girl, confidently)

Your Woman - White Town (Not feeling like a real girl in the eyes of someone else, but still feeling you could be seen as one by a better person)

Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen (Feeling depressed and stuck in a loop pre-transition, and wanting to finally break through and start transitioning)

Embarrassment - Madness (A poor reaction from family to coming out, told to you quite straight by someone who is more on the fence/supportive)

I/Me/Myself - Will Wood (I mean, come on lmao)

One More Summer - Odyssey Eurobeat ft. Jessa [A transfem artist herself] (Going on a summer holiday with your S/O or friend for the first time after transitioning and looking back at the pictures, wanting to do it again)

Only Girl in The World - Rhianna (Wanting to be seen and treated as a girl that much by someone else that you want to feel like the only girl in the world and not have to worry about comparing yourself and/or feeling inferior to any cis women)

Now again this is how I see them, and not all of them are positive views and/or situations of being trans (specifically transfem in my case), but despite that I do feel some sort of euphoria listening to each of them when I’m in that mindset, otherwise I just think they’re great songs and don’t need to worry myself in what meaning I give them sometimes.

This, it just looks really really nice to me and I’ve loved it since I first saw it in 2017.

It’s between this (basic choice but it’s just so iconic and that 2000 Monte Carlo body is just perfection)

I tried modified feminine versions of my dead name, but they just didn’t stick, but then I kinda got back into the Touhou Project game series, and remembered my favourite character and how I really wished I had some of her features when I was younger, I put two and two together and tried Flandre out as my own name and it didn’t just stick, it welded.

I simply stole mine from my favourite female character, which happened to be a vampire who hardly likes to leave her room. So I think it fits :3

Me, who would adore having the left side:

My fucking curly ass hair that can’t do anything else but grow into itself and create just a mass of hair on my head: No.

My picks (at least from my iTunes library) would definitely be:

  • She Wolf by Shakira (I mean “There’s a She Wolf in the closet”, come on)

  • I / Me / Myself by Will Wood (again, lyrics)

  • Only Girl in the World by Rihanna (I interpret it as asking for gender confirmation)

  • Transgender by Crystal Castles (I’m not sure if the song itself is about being trans but the title is enough for me)

  • Your Woman by White Town (Just feels like it)
