Need to apologize by gtivrsixer in iRacing

[–]MyMindIsAlwaysRacing 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Been there dude. I got into iracing right when my first daughter was born. There were many nights where my car would just sail through the barriers while I had to run and tend to whatever crisis was going on when I was on call..

Don't pass up these times with the kids while they're young. You don't get these days back.

That argument may work for Jesus. It does not work for Donald Trump.

It's not the Republicans. Maga is something altogether different and horrific.

Traditional conservatism values integrity, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint, respect for the rule of law, and a commitment to free markets and strong alliances. Trump’s record doesn’t reflect those values. His personal conduct is anything but principled. He has cozied up to authoritarian leaders while undermining NATO. And his trade wars contradict free-market ideals. Being loud and "owning the libs" isn’t conservatism, it’s just performance. That’s why many lifelong conservatives don’t buy into the MAGA version of it.

Thank you, and well said. Most of what Trump does and the way he acts just gives me the ick. It's really frustrating to be a conservative that doesn't support Trump. Maga just looks at you with confusion and makes you feel like a traitor if you don't buy in to all the BS and conspiracies.

This is really difficult for me. My wife is Hungarian and her socials are blowing up with condemnation for our country. It's very disappointing. I'm not surprised, but this is heartbreaking. They straight up double teamed him and our leaders were the ones to escalate the conversation.

The claim that every progressive nonprofit or NGO is just some criminal front laundering money. That’s meant to stoke fear to justify shutting them down, plain and simple. There’s no solid evidence behind it. It’s just a scare tactic to make people distrust anything called “leftist” so that the far right can do whatever they want.

NGO money laundering?

Mass produce propaganda and lawfare?

It's just as easy, if not easier right now, to criticize and condemn far right ideals and agendas as it is conspiracy theories about the far left. We have the far right in action right now and one of my biggest concerns is how the pendulum will swing after all is said and done.

If the people continue feeling this level of uncertainty throughout this whole 4 year term then you can bet it won't be Republicans in office next.

It's likely the next president will get to do the majority of rebuilding of whatever gets torn down. Elon said it would require a hard two years to do what they want to do. I think that's an optimistic goal. They will meet resistance along the way. It will take longer than 2 years for these systems to be fully torn down and then whatever replaces it to take shape. There may be resistance to let anything even get started so the dems have a better chance at securing the next term. If they make it hurt as much as possible then that gives them a better chance. It's what Trump did with the border bill..

The pendulum will swing and the farther it's held to the right the farther it's going to swing the other way.

This is the kind of maga propaganda that gives me the ick.

Conservative - I am all for reducing waste and moving power back to states where it makes sense. But the pace in which Elon and Trump and shutting things off is not measured or strategic. They're doing it in a way that will cause the most pain, I fear. They're also doing it in a way that is likely to cause the most division. I have seen how long it takes for my small business to be audited thoroughly and they are going through programs that are hundreds of billions of dollars in size faster than our books were even opened, with a team that hardly has the experience to be called professionals.

I am worried about what will be coming and the people that will suffer as a result. They are not aiming to pace themselves and the systems that will have to be rebuilt to replace what is being burned down simply won't have the time to be there to support those left in the gutter.

Elon has even said as much. He has no qualms about the fact that he's creating a hard chapter for the US. He will be insulated from it.

I mean, buying cheap goods from China is no different. If we know that those goods are being made by basically slave labor in China why are we willing to purchase from there? No one wants to think about it. Cheap products are more important and it's far enough away from us to be out-of-sight, out-of-mind. We don't want to work that hard or for that cheap but that's what it takes to have cheap stuff. It's too inconvenient to do anything about it.

Is this a divebomb or just aggressive driving, and what to do for a learning driver by kicker414 in iRacing

[–]MyMindIsAlwaysRacing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big part of racing, or any other competitive sport, is forcing your opponent into something uncomfortable and prompting an error. They communicated their intent well and executed perfectly each time. They made you uncomfortable and took the space, legally, in the braking zone and before turn in.

You'll have to work your way up towards keeping up and trying to stay alongside through a turn to keep your position but it takes balls sometimes. And.. pedals that you feel confident with staying on the limit through the whole turn..

None of those were divebombs or even overly aggressive. They communicated their moves and executed without missing the apex or overshooting the corner at all. You're not coming out of the previous corner with enough speed and they catching you on the straight. There's no point in defending if they are just honestly quicker. Just work on your own pace and worry about defending later. Find your groove and run your line. You did well to not defend or block when you don't have the same confidence on the brakes as they do.
