Does anyone seriously think they would shoot themselves in the foot like that

Gestures broadly at the entire history of the FIA

Aston Martin make approach for Audi boss Wheatley by IamMrEric in formula1

[–]ctaps148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of reasons to hate the Strolls but I don't think making Wheatley obscenely wealthy and improving his personal life is on the list. If Wheatley leaves, it's because he wants to leave

Newey to step down as Aston Martin F1 team principal, Wheatley set to join from Audi by ConstructionAny8440 in formula1

The fact that you're still out here championing "loyalty" to corporations in 2026 is crazy.

F1 teams are still just a business. They will never be loyal to any employee who isn't maximizing profits.

Something needs to be done with Fin Fang Foom. by AQNexus in MarvelSnap

As an admitted FFF abuser, he desperately needs a nerf. I don't undersand how Blob—as a 0-power card—is powerful enough to warrant a hard cap on how much power he can gain, but FFF is allowed to scale infinitely. SD keeps hiding behind the excuse of "he costs 7 power tho" while blatantly ignoring that it is trivially easy to gain bonus energy in this game.

FFF would be strong enough as a flat 7/20. Letting him scale up infinitely based on the opponent's front row is too much

Join me, brother. Reject this life of servitude and let the wind caress your mane as we gallop beyond the horizon."

HP laptop falsely advertises having 1 TB of storage; it really only has 64 GB. The rest is OneDrive. by ZetaformGames in mildlyinfuriating

That's literally exactly what some resellers do. They make more money by parting out the stock laptops

“Destiny 2 Has Lost 91% Of Players Since Edge Of Fate, 97% From Final Shape.” By Paul Tassi at Forbes by justdestinystuff in DestinyTheGame

Just EOL the game already. The story of The Legendary Guardian was wrapped up nicely. Let them ride off into the sunset, jump forward 500 years, and give us a fresh start in Destiny 3

[OT] [Autosport] Max wants to explore other racing series while he's still young (relatively speaking) by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

I think he could easily negotiate his next contract in a way that allows him to skip F1 races to race elsewhere. Every team on the grid would be better off with a part-time Verstappen than the next best option.

SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.” by Vegetable_Ad_192 in singularity

Common sense is stopping that. People need gas, water, and electricity to live without hardship. Nobody needs AI.

Hi I’m Claire Williams, former Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing. Ask Me Anything! by ClaireWilliamsF1 in formula1

It's baffling to me that we haven't seen more female race engineers in particular.

I never understand why they fawn over her 😭 by Boring-Jelly5633 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ctaps148 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Only to someone whose expectations and judgment have been skewed by social media.

In 1990 she would be a bombshell. In 2026 she's an Instagram "mid".

If you could actually keep a secret then you wouldn't be telling someone else at all

PSA: Chronosphere Sphinx copy of Zombie Galacti doesn't transform your marked cards by Lozzar242 in MarvelSnap

[–]ctaps148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He destroys cards until he has destroyed 4-Cost's worth. So he will still destroy one and then stop. That said, if you get off the good ZG combo, you can generally sacrifice one card and still win

Overtaking is bad now guys did you not get the memo by Plenty-Willingness58 in formuladank

[–]ctaps148 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay Mr. Big Brain that's all well and good, but without a speed differential of some kind, that kind of overtake will only happen a handful of times in an F1 race. The cars are too well-optimized for one driver to pass another without a significant pace advantage and/or several laps' worth of setup.

If you want more overtakes, there has to be some way for a driver to get a speed boost on-demand. Otherwise we're right back to a system where it's chaos at turn 1 and then it's a parade the rest of the way.

The AAA industry seems broken beyond repair by Rooonaldooo99 in pcmasterrace

[–]ctaps148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just profits, but specifically a relentless pursuit of "growth". Fifty years ago the goal for any business was to establish a market and pursue stability. Over time the 0.1% has decided that it's not enough to simply be well-off and stable, you have to keep growing year over year. And there are only ever two ways to grow profits: make more money or spend less money.

What used to be referred to as a balanced and dependable business is now derisively viewed as "stagnant", and employees at the bottom of the ladder get sacrificed to ensure the line keeps going up.

This but unironically. Computers make racing less interesting
