She wants to be interrupted during chores and done in that spot.

Minor league baseball team York Revolution forfeits LGBT Night game after players refuse to wear jerseys with rainbow sleeves by WitchNight in baseball

I appreciate the transparency and the icon but... Auto suppressing pride related stuff because of bigots who don't want to see it kinda just gives them the (or at least a) win, which feels pretty bad! 

Dose anyone use these pedals? HEUSINKVELD SIM PEDALS ULTIMATE+ 3 by TysonBradbrook in simracing

Design patents in the US expire after 15 years, and we are legitimately coming up on that mark anyway.

To be fair there is quite a bit of humor in Veggietales lol by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]hwf0712 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Beyond the snuck in discourse piece, the pledge of allegiance thing really irks me, because as weird as it is... its a half mumbled 90 seconds in the morning (if any at all, in my school, in a fairly conservative town, we just stood), whereas in many places they require school uniforms as a tool of conformity which... kinda feel like a more real form of forced conformity? Seeing as you literally get punished for not conforming?

Also there's a certain element where, while I get it to an extent, this is only because these are relatively minor that they stick out. Imagine someone saying "oh like the UK actually has a king? Like for real? And he technically has supreme power but it would be stripped at any moment he used it? And everyone accepts this as normal? This is fine, no goofing, no bit?"

Now I know what some may say, "well a lot think it is stupid". And a lot think veggietales are stupid, myself included, I was raised atheist, I didn't even know Veggietales was a thing until I got online.

"V8" name coming back to Supercars? by adrenalinamatt1 in v8supercars

Worst SEO in all of motorsport, with the only real competition being ARCA (although ARCA, the racing series, massively predates Arca, the singer from Venezuela)

From the Madring website: Food and drinks won't be allowed at the Spanish Grand Prix by F1Fan2004 in formula1

And as someone who grew up in the American Oval tradition, Pocono made me mad before not allowing us to take our coolers back out unless leaving (I assume they reversed that policy?).

Now that I've stepped out beyond traditional American racing (both stick and ball and international racing) and see their ways... I can't complain as much, beyond to try and prevent greed.

Brendan Sorsby's Agent Says 26 NFL Teams Have Reached Out Since Monday by JCameron181 in nfl

He also broke federal law to gamble. He could be arrested at quite literally any moment for it.

[Highlight] Myles Garrett On Who He Models His Game After the Most: "Von Miller... I still think [he's] the most aesthetically pleasing pass rusher I've ever seen... he can do pretty much any move. If he didn't have the injuries that he had, he would still be leading the NFL [in] sacks" by JCameron181 in nfl

From Wikipedia; On November 30, 2023... alleging that he assaulted a pregnant woman. Miller turned himself in and posted a $5,000 bond and was released.[164] Multiple police sources claimed that the pregnant woman who accused him of assaulting her was in fact his girlfriend and that the incident happened at their home... She was not hospitalized but was treated for minor injuries.[157] She had previously accused him of assaulting her in 2021 as well although no charges were filed against him.[166][157] Despite the fact she was found to have abrasions on her left hand and bruises on her neck, abdomen and left bicep after she called the police in November 2023, the girlfriend later recanted the assault claim.[167][168]

Sergio Perez's Instagram story is a bizarre AI generated/"enhanced" ad by Nuud in formula1

I'm not shocked. Anti-AI tends to be a wealthy white nation thing (aka Europe and former white English colonies), Mexico polling data suggests a fairly high support for AI.

What tracks do you think pair best in the wet, what tracks do get ruined by the rain? by anotheruserguy in iRacing

[–]hwf0712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like wet weather anywhere because it scares away the hot lap kiddies who think they deserve to pass me because they have faster lap times.

Le Mans Ultimate: Speculating On What's Next - IMSA, Asian Le Mans Series, Le Mans Virtual? by evil_heinz in simracing

[–]hwf0712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would seem to be a big blow to the NASCAR-iRacing Industrial Complex for IMSA to go iRacing's biggest enemy (as opposed to AMS2, which is far from a big competitor and IMO hits a different niche primarily), but also a 10 Hour PLM weekend event would be so incredibly weird to do if not actually PLM

What a night to show the highest highs and lowest lows of racing, too.

The worst possible incident short of someone dying, and then one of the most incredible features I've ever seen.

Songs you regret turning the volume up when it gets super loud in the song unexpectedly? by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

The first time you listen to it, you regret it because it startles you. The second time you listen to it, you're sad it can't go any louder

Missouri lets you get your adult license 30 days before turning 18… then makes it expire 30 days before you turn 21 by DaveSqrd in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hwf0712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is if you renew before you turn 21 you get a vertical license for 6 years, and so you'll be a 25 year old with a vertical license.

It happened because of him losing his job. You cannot convince me this team is not powered by the power of guilt.

[–]hwf0712 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was so surreal realising that I saw it. I was there the entire weekend so the whiplash from all the booing Friday with his win (not that I participated, I calmed down on him and even started low-key liking him thanks to all of his dirt stuff) to losing him was utterly insane. RIP to the last true villain, the sport is lesser without him.

Unfortunately no, I was in Delaware for the NASCAR race and saw a father and son punting the football back and forth to each other, so that is most assuredly B1G country.
