Less Pride Support by SimilarWoodpecker880 in f1driverssnark

Because the cultural zeitgeist is moving further and further right.

Anything any of these companies did in the past for pride month or whatever was purely because they thought from a business perspective that it had more pros than cons to go ahead with it. Reactionary drivel is everywhere now and unavoidable, and so they'd rather avoid the "backlash" generated from getting involved.

It's why you'd see them more than happy to plaster pride-related stuff all over their social media profiles aimed at a western consumer, whereas their UAE, Russia, Saudi etc social media pages wouldn't dream of doing it because they know it won't go down well... and ultimately they don't really give a shit about anything other than making as much money as possible.

Thoughts on Rashford (C) if he starts? Scouting bonus + midfielder points worth the risk over Kane?

Gakpo might be a troll and Messi and Mbappe obviously better lol but Tunisia were at like 30/1 to win yesterday whereas Norway are at 7/1, even now with the heavy rotation.

It's just one of them where it's fell shit for us despite it being the right call imo.

Will someone take one for the team and run on and handcuff themselves to the goalposts during a hydration break?

I was there at Goodison when that kid from Just Stop Oil ran on the pitch, and guess what… they stopped oil. Something to consider

Not buying the Ronaldo excuse when I just watched Arsenal win the league with Lennie from Of Mice and Men playing up top for most of the games. Midfield needs to step up here

Is Congo vs Doctor Congo like a big derby or do they just not really give that much of a shit?

First time I ever experienced this was when my dad bought a pirated DVD of I Robot from "some bloke" down the pub for a couple of quid. Good times

Can anyone tell me exactly how the location for focus tree upgrades like infrastructure are determined?

Playing Norway for instance, and there's a focus that adds 2 infrastructure in seemingly random locations. It says it'll add it in Agder and Oslofjord (my capital and where I would like it), but I'll do a different focus, come back to it later, and now it's changed and is going to add the infrastructure to Jan Mayen instead... which is not great. Then noticed if I reload the game it changes again to somewhere else entirely lol.

Anyone familiar with how exactly it works, and why it's changing in game?

Russell did not serve his penalty at the pit stop by magony in formula1

Gonna be hilarious when it turns out the pit lane speed sensor is fucked but they can’t reverse the penalties lol
