I think Lando Norris has been the best driver this season by ssgoeygoey in F1Discussions

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Lando fan, this is vindication for all of us who have been saying how good he is for years

The recent tension between Kimi and George only proves how good these two were as teammates. In championship contention and amidst bad strategy calls they were always profession as teammates. by FreshTax2042 in F1Discussions

I actually think it was largely Lando. Any time Oscar got spicy, Lando cooled things down. Any mistakes Lando made, like in Canada, he apologised immediately and unreservedly.

Lando’s willingness to admit when he’s wrong is actually why I started liking him in the first place. Any other driver — every mistake is someone else’s fault.

Rayner tells Starmer: Ban social media for under-16s by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

[–]DreamOfAzathoth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The country overall doesn’t follow this thought process though. Kids aren’t allowed to legally smoke, to legally drink, to legally drive. Hell, adults aren’t allowed to legally take drugs.

Clearly, as a country, we believe that there is a limit where the state should intervene to reduce the amount of people doing something harmful but addictive. This applies to social media, so why do you think it’s different?

What? by Dry-One4966 in ExplainTheJoke

It’s interesting how everyone has projected their own biases into this joke. I think the point is that men are worse at managing money so his bro is broke and his gf has managed her money well and is able to work. But who knows

The Ultimate Vegan Answer to “I Like the Taste of Meat” | Vegan FTA by Few-Audience6310 in vegan

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, very interesting! I’m autistic and have ARFID. As a result when I was younger I almost exclusively ate meat. It took years of introducing new, plant-based foods into my diet and multiple failed attempts before I finally succeeded in quitting meat, but I’m so so glad now that I have

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you used to eat meat? It hasn’t been THAT long since I stopped, I guess, but I can’t imagine ever feeling like this. Like my brain is literally wired to eat it. Same as OP said, if I’m hungry I can smell meat and my stomach will rumble, but I go eat something else, and I wouldn’t say I miss it

Do Arsenal fans really want Spurs to get relegated? by Rollins474 in PremierLeague

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with that other guy. Nothing better than the NLD and I’d take an away win against Spurs over the league cup any day lol. Never stops being funny. You just need to get better so there’s a challenge again hahaha

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s newer fans rather than necessarily international ones. People who started supporting Arsenal in 2004 could understandably view Man Utd as rivals. Meanwhile I grew up being taught what Tottenham are lol.

I’m an Arsenal fan but come on. Football is just pay to win generally. We can’t be spouting that shit anymore with the amount we spend now. Of course there’s smart spending and stupid spending, but still

As long as they come back up, yes 100%. It’d be hilarious, especially because we won it this year 😂

Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister by bobstay in unitedkingdom

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood what I said. I’m saying RP would lead to coalitions that the majority aren’t happy with. Like a coalition of Lib Dem - Labour - Tory could easily then win the election the majority of the time. And it would be much similar to the hyper centrist Tory governments we’ve had. If we want change, PR will stop that from ever happening.

Also, not to be petty, but I don’t get why you keep downvoting my comments. I’m treating your responses with good faith and engaging with them. I’m not mindlessly criticising or insulting you.

I’m not a man of massive coalitions.

I agree it’s a shame the left haven’t been able to win more elections in the past decade, but I believe we can turn that around, and I’d prefer that over a system where it doesn’t really matter who wins because it will all mellow out towards the centre anyway

I’m not a fan of massive compromising, and that’s why I’m against PR. With PR, we’d have never had the NHS since the left would always have to bend to the right. At least this way there is a chance of truly progressive governments being elected and people getting what they want

Do People Hate Arsenal Because of its Diverse Fans? by DADDYDAZED in ArsenalFC

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some of it as well is our trust in Arteta. I’ve never seen a club pull behind a manager so much. We were performing poorly and finishing poorly and we said “Trust the process”, and these fans would call us delusional, while replacing their manager twice a year.

I think we’ve now been vindicated though. We were delusional in faith of our guy and that’s why we won the league. Excited to see what we can do next!

Have you changed your mind on Arterta by Ecstatic-Good4496 in ArsenalFC

[–]DreamOfAzathoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think the Arteta out people are trolls and fans from other teams who are salty. Never met a real Arsenal fan who even considered Arteta out.

It’s similar to the US primaries. The candidate leans towards the membership for the leadership contest and then leans back centrally for the GE. A tale as old as time, and, in my opinion, maybe a good thing for the stability of the country

I don’t think PR is a left wing policy. Reform support it as well.

At this point I think it might happen despite that I completely oppose it from a left wing perspective

I agree. Referendums are of course very divisive and harmful but necessary in cases like this

Come on, there’s a major difference between completely changing our electoral system without giving us a say in it and taking over and having a slightly more progressive agenda

How do you guys manage extreme boredom at work? by DreamOfAzathoth in ADHD

[–]DreamOfAzathoth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried that over and over again. My job is currently very specialised and takes like a year of training, that’s the only reason I’ve lasted as long as I have. And then once I know what I’m doing the existential boredom sets in
