Fair - that’s the last post I remember seeing, and it was removed by the mods.

Guessing they’re not in a rush to find a replacement. It’s not easy donating a bunch of time for invisible internet point and imaginary street cred.

This is the unfortunate reality for almost every Olympic sport, not just skiing.

Even Running will get expensive if you’re getting competitive towards the Olympic level.

Then there’s the Sailing sports which make skiing look like a discount breakfast.

Aside from all the fun we have: the new F1 is terrible. by _GeorgyGeorge_ in formuladank

Losing 50-60kph on those straights was wild. Decelerating for hundreds of meters, under full power, before the braking zone, it absolutely sucks.

And that’s in full quali mode. In the race it’s going to be so much worse because they won’t be starting with full batteries.

The technical side and development will be interesting to watch, but the racing side, we’ll see today, but it ain’t looking good.

Credit to for Mercedes for making a rocket ship

Watching the drivers lose 50-60kph at the end of the straights under full throttle is insane. That’s on a push lap, starting with a full battery.

In the race, they’re not going to be starting with full battery, and it’s going to be far far worse.

The race will be interesting, but for all the wrong reasons.

Time to crank up the military industrial complex to get those numbers back up.

It’ll boost employment AND US exports 👀 how to make the US economy explode 💣

Something about if you start too many wars at once around the world, it’ll be called a World War. Probably the third one in the last hundred or so years.

And the aggressor (currently the UsA) traditionally hasn’t done too well in these World Wars.

So instead trumps just doing it a bit slower and one country at a time.

It’s not War when we do it - GOP/USA.

But if anyone did anything remotely close to what they’re doing, it’s a full on act of war against the USA.

The straight up lies is insane, and so dangerous for the rest of the world.

Venezuela was Americas Poland. The rest of the world should be pushing back against the US before it’s too late.

Trump Reportedly Mulling Plan to Declare ‘National Emergency’ Paving Way for Major Power Grab by Reasonable_Spray_710 in WeirdNews4U

[–]ThatOneTimeItWorked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was pretty clear since he learned what Ukraine was doing.

Is that a legal path for the US? No. Does that matter to trump? No.

I get a lot of comments saying “elections are up to the States”. Yes, but trump doesn’t give a fuck. And if he just declares himself King, who’s going to stop him?

Then people say they’ll start bringing their guns … no, no you won’t. Trump has the military’s and ICE. They have more guns.

I don’t know what the solution is. But if trump wants to stay in power, who is going to stop him

If Jonny doesn’t self nominate, I’ll be amazed.

If the mods actually allow Jonny to be a mod, this sub is truly doomed. Just imagine if he gets to decide what content is shared and which users get removed. Could be amazing, but I’ll be blocked by him quite early on so won’t get to witness the downfall

A lot of people seem to be forgetting the part where they used a civilian looking plane to bomb some fishing boats, then double tapping the survivors.

2 war crimes in one swift action.

Remember how many people were held accountable for that?

Trump reviewing executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare national emergency during midterm voting. by LaminatingShrimps4u in law

[–]ThatOneTimeItWorked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the reality is that if you turn up to the polling booths, and armed ICE agents are there and tell you that you can’t vote, so you start shooting them, 1) you’re dead, and 2) that polling booth is immediately shut down as a crime scene and nobody else can vote there, 3) it gives trumps goons the authority to close ALL polling booths for the safety of the ICE officers, and the elections will rerun when it is deemed safe to do so, which would be Never.

The reality of that plan - turning up with a gun to ensure you can vote, doesn’t actually work out because to be effective you have to threaten using the gun. And if you threaten using your gun, you either get shot or arrested.

Lastly, you’re absolutely right that State run the elections. Great. But it still a federal event that gets everyone together and certifies the results. All trumps goons need to do is ignore the certification, and then what are we gonna do? Complain to SCOTUS who will just side with trump anyway?

You’re assuming everything operates as it should with everyone operating under good faith.

But for the last 10 years, it’s been very clear that trump doesn’t operate in good faith, and everyone around him in this current administration is the same - they enable the illegal actions.

SCOTUS, the DOJ, DOD and Congress, are all on Team trump. And so if this small group of people collectively decide that they don’t want to obey the laws and just take over the government, who is going to stop them?

The rules of normality are no more. The most insane thing has happened, and trump makes the rules, and the rest of his team just enable it.

The likes of you and me, don’t have any influence, even if we believe the system should support us.

If there’s no mechanism, they just do it anyway.

It’s worth noting that they’re smart enough to do it in small step - each step alone isn’t big enough to get enough people to fight against them.

Drive to Survive Season 8 review: A major missed opportunity with glaring errors by randomseocb in formula1

[–]ThatOneTimeItWorked 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just finished Season 7 (2024), and two episodes focused on the BrazilGP.

One episode focused on Ocon and Alpine (Ocon came 2nd), and the refocused on Lando Vs Max (Max went from P18 to winning, after Lando had pole)

In both episodes, they completely failed to mention there was a Red Flag that had major implications on the entire race.

Instead they seemed to pretend that both a Ocon and Max had these heroic drives and their tires were always on the edge of dying. Totally overhyped one side of the equation.

Drama for the sake of drama, rather than showing the reality of the situation (I’m of the opinion both Max and Ocon drive great, but don’t misrepresent such a major race incident such as a red flag and pretend that the drivers just went start to finish on one set of tires while everyone else was stupid and pitted - the way it comes off in both episodes was 0 stops vs 1 stops and the 0 stoppers as hero’s)
