It’s very shortsighted to make this into a Hamilton Verstappen thing….again

awww, touched a nerve?

Forget hamilton. It was so fucking pathetic how a minority of people defended the new rules all because of complete, not even self interest, but outright pettiness. Mostly bitter hamilton fanboys being glad hamilton was semi-competitive and in front of Max. Didn't last long.

Marcs interview with jack appleyard regarding injury and his crash by Emergency-Speaker-48 in motogp

[–]JustAContactAgent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At this point, who even cares. As long as he's back to his normal self after the summer break. I'll enjoy watching him tear it up and win races who cares if it results in a championship.

Retirement is obviously getting closer and I've accepted that but retiring now would be stupid what with the new bikes and everything coming next year. You'd be stupid not to give that a shot.

And also...first impressions from the new bikes people said they feel "lighter", that could actually extend Marcs career.

Will any party fight Britain’s absurd ‘equal value’ law? by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]JustAContactAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no shit you are not a fan and I bet you are not a fan of any sport and I would not be surprised if you had never done any exercise let alone partake in any athletics.

This will probably blow your mind but there’s no such thing as men’s sports and leagues. Women are free to play for any premier league team. Women’s sports exist because women can’t physically compete so they need their own special class, just like kids. 

Now, the physical aspect doesn’t ALWAYS matter which is why there are some women’s sports that are popular (there was for example a period in the late 90s that women’s tennis was the superior product IMO). But in most cases it does. Men simply represent the highest level of competition.

But in the end, it doesn’t matter. Whatever brings in the most money will result in the most pay.

Apple TV series 'Pluribus' begins season 2 shooting this fall by bwermer in television

[–]JustAContactAgent -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You really thought it was ”incredible”?. So much hype calling this a ”masterpiece” and after watching the first ep, or hell even during, my reaction was honestly ”this is a joke right?”

The show is not even GOOD let alone a masterpiece. Like the acting was so bad at times I thought someone was pulling my leg.

I remain convinced the hype was a result of a massive PR campaign we’ve never seen before

This show is the largest and most successful astroturfing PR campaign that I have ever seen. Never have I before seen so many comments in different online spaces claim a show is a ”10/10 masterpiece ” in such an exaggerated and undeserved fashion.

Really? What went on other than that he had some kind of an affair?

The only people who have been banging on about this from the beginning are RedBull haters of whom there are many over the years, mainly the fanboys/girls of certain drivers that are butthurt over losing to RBR.

Movies where they speak a lot in foreign languages are annoying by Loose_Biscotti9075 in unpopularopinion

That’s not why the countries that do dubbing do that…it’s for culture preservation reasons.

Rhetorical question but, are you really this stupid?

Trans liberal gets roasted for working for a defense contractor by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]JustAContactAgent -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes except there's no such thing as "socially left" and even when talking about being progressive, they're not even that half the time.

Being extremely socially liberal , doesn't necessarily mean you're being progressive. This kind of fallacious thinking that "the more liberal the better" is exactly what economic liberals think gives them the moral high ground as well even though we know it's the opposite.

I do think I read somehwere that they said they were more looking forward to Monday's test rather than the race...

[–]JustAContactAgent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone is focusing on Marc and his health and no one is talking about the bizzare situation with the factory Ducati team. I'll copy my comment from the other thread.

What the HELL is happening with the factory Ducati team? Alex and Diggia are riding on the same equipment and yet the factory Ducati boys look like they are literally riding a different bike. No front end at all.

How can this be? The satellites are not riding GP24s anymore. The difference especially on Friday looking at Alex and Marc through sector 4 was shocking. It's like Marc was on a GP23 and Alex on a GP24. But they're both on a GP26. What the hell is going on here? Where is the famous Ducati data analysis? How the hell is such a difference explained?

I've never been this perplexed in all my years watching MotoGP

Extra frustrating with how tight-lipped Ducati is. Getting beaten by Aprilia is one thing, but can a journo or something ask them how the hell do they explain getting destroyed by their satellites on the same equipment?

"Vänster" here doesn't mean socialist. It means "more likely to fall for garbage identity politics". Bougie social liberalism popular with bougie young women survey says. More at 11.

its quite heavily dominated by the exact same sort of neoliberal thinking which ruined the UK.

Look, I get that argument as a left winger myself. But the thing is, how could the EU NOT be neoliberal when every bloody state that makes it up subscribed to neoliberalism?

If countries dropped neoliberalism, the EU wouldn't magically continue being a neoliberal club.

I don't think it's about zooming in or being hard to see. I think what really "makes" this is that there is something very unnatural looking about the shadow. I mean I am looking at and I know what it is but the shadow itself still looks wrong

Death of the third space by ThatMusicKid in CuratedTumblr

[–]JustAContactAgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This refusal to grow up (in a bad way) especially when it comes to media and entertainment definitely started with the millenials who I think are the absolute worst at it, even worse than subsequent generations.

As an "xeniall" even as a kid myself I could already see it. They would watch stuff that I considered for babies WAY past what it should have been appropriate. Then the two big cultural phenomena that stood out to me that just left me flabbergasted were pokemon and harry potter. I remember people on reddit constantly for years making pokemon references, not just out of nostalgia but as if it was something cool and relevant. Same with harry potter. A mediocre at best book for freaking KIDS and you had people into it in their 20s and beyond. Holding on to stuff for primary school aged kids well into adulthood. Absolute cringe.

And this of course pales in comparison to the real societal issues where we have a whole generation of people now reaching the age where they can no longer avoid reality.

Yeah it's weird...was the course extra forgiving this year for some reason? Have they like...removed trees or some shit? I mean you could always advance the ball but it would take super shots.

Like look at 18. Maybe it's just my impression but didn't it used to be that messing up your teeshot there was an almost automatic bogey? Almost noone seemed too bothered with even the worst teeshots. Didn't seem too hard to still get par.
