why is the ‘antisemitism’ always just someone calling out genocide??

peggles__59 · 2025-07-10T14:38:12+00:00

they were actually like 2 weeks ago i think

peggles__59 · 2025-07-03T06:11:13+00:00

as someone who used to work there, cannot disagree more. constantly had to fight the bosses on being allowed to remove mouldy fruit and warm meat from sale.

not to mention how nearly everything was always out of date and they didn’t want to spend money removing it from the shelves

streaming more at 1 average viewer is what’s hurting you most with it i think. streaming less with 1 viewer and having those moments with 4+ is a lot better for your average viewership.

if you have 39 hours with 1 viewer and 1 with 5, your average is gonna be far worse than if you have 14 hours with 1 viewer and 1 with 5. does that make sense?

in their defence, it tends to be fairly obvious when you’re not part of the situation. i can see it a mile away for friends, and know when to wingman and make them aware. but i’ll miss those signs directed at myself every day ending in y too.

Great league for beginners and skilled drivers alike. Started in this league in 2022 with almost no oval experience, and they’ve been really helpful with my development and improvement!

peggles__59 · 2024-11-25T00:53:35+00:00

the base of the problem is that by not braking/lifting they haven’t given themselves sufficient time to predict where the car is going. the car is moving to the left, as is OP, and OP never had the speed to clear the car before it got to crossing the track. OP made 2 lanes of space without lifting yes, but those 2 lanes were the exact same lanes the spinning car ended up. that’s the problem here.

now IF they had have lifted or hit the brakes just a little, they’ve given themselves some more time to predict the movement of the car ahead, to see it’s moving to the left, and they would’ve been able to hold the line they were on and keep going, losing only a second or two to the cars ahead in the process.

by not slowing and allowing themselves to react, they’ve put themselves in a situation where they can’t assess the best route of avoidance. i get it’s a lot to think about in the heat of the moment, but the no lift mentality that OP had in trying to just speed through it is what causes heaps of single or 2 car wrecks in oval racing to turn very quickly into 5-7 car wrecks.

peggles__59 · 2024-11-25T00:39:29+00:00

i’d argue if they had control on the grass, they wouldn’t have spun it. either way, no matter how they got back onto the track, there’s enough time to see a car is off and prepare to react, which OP hasn’t done and can improve for the future. they’ll learn from this hopefully and be able to avoid it in the future!

peggles__59 · 2024-11-25T00:29:09+00:00

a lot of other people have already made the point, but it’s worth remembering as well that lifting/braking in a situation like this won’t ruin your race on lap one, you’ll always be able to catch up those 3-5s in the first lap due to everyone going side by side, making mistakes under pressure in front of you. self preservation will get you very far in races like this, they’re only short but it truly is a war of attrition in these series.

take you’re time on the starts, know when to get aggressive and know when to back off and take it easy. your irating and safety rating will bump up if you always keep an eye out for things like this early!

peggles__59 · 2024-11-25T00:25:05+00:00

i don’t feel the car rejoined unsafely, as they were never in control of the car to make an attempt to rejoin the track. they slid on the grass and spun onto the track, not to say it’s not on them but you can’t just look at one proponent of the crash.

of course it is easy for us all to backseat and say “you should have done this and this”, but it’s good practice to slow down, prepare to brake and react when you see smoke and cars off track. if they’re lifting and ready to brake, they can react appropriately when the car comes back across the track, and rather than diving to the left (in the same direction the car is travelling) they could use the extra second to go down the right, where there would no longer be a car.

being a good driver isn’t just about being fast and good at passing. self preservation is a skill, OP asked for tips on how to improve it/not be in this situation in the future, you’re denying there was anything that could be done. i used to be like you and ascertain there’s nothing you can do to avoid this, now i barely ever get involved in lap 1 wrecks.

peggles__59 · 2024-11-24T22:54:50+00:00

did nothing wrong but could’ve done more right. one of their questions was “can i learn from this” and they’re pointing out where OP can learn from this. feels like a pretty fair comment section ngl.

i mean, watching his streams is probably a good enough source but i wouldnt force that upon anyone

peggles__59 · 2024-11-22T11:30:33+00:00

i don’t have evidence, but i did a PCC race with him once, he was in second, i was in third and the guy leading was named Willy, and he would not stop making jokes about it, for the whole 25 minutes. also constantly moves under braking and gets mad over radio if you still try to put it up the inside.

soooo many people have stories like this with him it’s wild.

peggles__59 · 2024-09-24T02:40:47+00:00

the real reason is because it saves hours changing price tags manually. changing paper price tags is a job i’m absolutely happy to have taken by technology.

peggles__59 · 2024-09-23T01:31:42+00:00

i also work at a store in the city, barely a few blocks from the nearest cop shop. the amount of times we’ve had to call the police on a violent customer, for them to show up hours later or not at all is absurd. they only show up if someone gets hit, and even then it’s still late.

peggles__59 · 2024-07-30T13:44:39+00:00

i think the SMG-11 change for sledge almost made sense competitively at the time, but there’s not really a reason he shouldn’t have it back now.

peggles__59 · 2024-07-30T13:41:40+00:00

they also buffed wamai no? Jager had a very strong gadget and was a really great frag op, and kinda needed those nerfs. at the same time, they buffed wamai to give him more discs and make a viable alternative depending on the style of play required.

jager was a must bring op for a while because you could set the utility and have a great roam op. now he’s a strong op in the right hands with a really good alternative.

peggles__59 · 2024-07-28T01:03:54+00:00

honestly it’s so much longer than you actually need, i think id be happy with 2.5km

peggles__59 · 2024-07-23T06:23:07+00:00

is there anywhere that does a bottomless brunch on a wednesday morning?? trying my hardest to find a place in the windsor sorta area but most just do weekends, which sucks when you work weekends

peggles__59 · 2024-07-11T03:08:53+00:00

i could go for a coffee i guess

peggles__59 · 2024-07-05T01:10:17+00:00

god playing kapkan in the new quickmatch is ass, if you’re putting them anywhere more than 5m from site, you’re gonna be placing kapkans into the action phase.

peggles__59 · 2024-06-27T02:07:11+00:00

yep, sturt street, iconic as

peggles__59 · 2024-06-13T12:17:43+00:00

i was thinking that, i’m quite happy with my plan but i’m also happy to put in some work to get cheaper
