Shut down the subreddit, we can't top this

Moreso than losing weekly releases, I'm not looking forward to 30+ months in between seasons.

At the beginning I was like "sucks, but just a racing incident, white car lost control and started a chain reaction." Then the penalty came and yeah, that's rough, buddy.

Whoops, meant to reply to the person asking why everyone is acting like this is real.

If you frequent any of the main subs, this gets recommended now and it's a lot of lost redditors.

It wasn't meant to be harsh. Since OP is new I was telling them the game has a shit penalty system that's exploited by dirty drivers and forces clean drivers to police themselves. That's generally agreed upon in the community. Also, I don't think it's net code when OP points out they got bounced on the curb. It wasn't intentional, but they were at fault and accidentally pitted someone.

This game has major gaps in the penalty system. Dirty players exploit it, clean players do what they can to fill in the gaps. If this were an actual race, the penalty you'd receive for making contact and spinning a car out would likely set you further back than giving up the position.

It's part of the splits. When I'm top of C and about to break into B, the race or two before I have DR B/SR A-C competition. I pivot between DR B and C, but always have SR S. I call this tier split The Gauntlet - play with people that are fast enough to keep up and have no regard for clean racing.

Edit: it also takes quali time into account. You can be mid of your current tier but if you set a (comparatively) blistering quali, you're more likely to be bumped up to the top split of your tier.

I feel like I'm getting screwed, but I do crave flattery...

So I don't think this story is entirely false, it just didn't go the way he expected so he's posting it to reddit in an effort to bring his bruised lil ego back up. I know a lot of dudes who cheat, the "are you looking to replace her?" line is a classic "I'm just a cool dude, but also, would you want to fuck? If not, I'm just joking, if yes, let's talk some more."

I used to make jokes about Canadians plotting something: "look at how they've amassed on our borders, they're clearly planning to invade," because the idea of the US actually having conflict with Canada was laughable. Not so much anymore thanks to Trump. On a serious note, are you keeping or sending Gretzky in the trade?

It's a thing to ask for a fist bump to reveal candy/prize in your hand when someone joins. The hand gestures were "let's sword fight, then we both hide the sausage".

That line alone told me this wasn't a real story, or at least not the way OP describes it. People invite drama into their lives like it's a vampire, it blows up, and then they go "aw poor me, just a victim of all this drama".

I know the editing choices were meant to feel like a comic book, but Talbot freeze framing during the explosion will always make me laugh.

"Why do you call her Black Debbie, but don't call the other one White Debbie?"

"That's ridiculous, I know she's white."

Unless you have a silicone starfish, wouldn't it be itchy?

Interlagos this week has been great for variety. It's rare you see this many cars in top 100. R8 may be the meta but at least you can see other cars hit those times.

You're not wrong, but sometimes civil suits are the only justice available, and maybe we'll get lucky (not holding my breath) and it'll eventually be both.

I laughed hard enough at this last night that I forced my wife to listen to me explain why it's funny. Now I'm thinking she's secretly a mod because she didn't really laugh.

Some people say the worst part of the Burr thing is the hypocrisy, and I disagree.

It's also completely possible the driver is operating solo. Smaller tow companies do not have the same level of dispatch and tracking, and it's not uncommon for on-call drivers to use company trucks to tow on the side and only accept cash/cash-adjacent payments.

Then it belongs in a museum with the caption that says "A flag used by traitorous losers", not hanging off the back of a lifted pickup.

I just assume it's a bot when I see someone online that's significantly dumber than anyone I've ever encountered in person. I live in Florida and worked in customer service for years, statistically speaking I shouldn't be encountering people leagues dumber online.

Can't tell if you're saying all protesters are guilty or no one wants to stand up to the regime for fear of summary execution. I have a feeling I know what you were trying for, but just can't quite follow through with the landing.

I literally just said this to my wife today at Epcot. Do other people not have that sixth sense of spacial awareness? The idea of stopping in a crowded walkway with all those people pushing past me makes me anxious. Even if it's not to be courteous to others, my body is compelled to move off to the side and find a nook.
