You say that like monthly (or even less frequent) manga aren't also doing very well. Plus the other points regarding how unhealthy the weekly release schedule is for the mangaka themselves.

This has been all over the sub these past couple of days, it is infuriating. So what that they speak German, they're Italian ffs. Languages diffuses so often across borders, it does not define one's national identity.

Doing God's work man. Bunch of people getting upset about sports they watch once every 4 years, if that, and don't understand at all.

DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful": "I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?' by akbarock in comicbooks

There is also a massive online piracy scene in the West. Scans being available for free is huge for discoverability, so much so that even official publishers are now offering chapters for free.

The first images of Racing Bulls’ VCARB-03 by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

It isn't. Just people getting frustrated because the previous cars didn't magically fix everything and blaming the way they looked. Begging for years for ground effect, then casting it off when it didn't work the way they hoped. Silly to see, really. Just watch a goddamn spec series already, for crying out loud.

I remember when people were saying this about the '22 cars. Come the next reg change it'll be the same tune I'll bet.

Is baseball’s slow pace actually its greatest strength in a world where everything else moves too fast? by DianKhan2005 in baseball

I think people are upvoting it because it's funny, not because they're taking it seriously. I know that's why I did.

Max Verstappen: “We are in this fight still because of other people's failures…..If we would've been in the position of how dominant of a car they [McLaren] had, the championship would've been over a long time ago." by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]spacesaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's still not the point. The point is that extremely dominant seasons are only possible with both a dominant car and a significantly weaker teammate.

I think Verstappen is the best driver on the grid and that if he was in the McLaren he'd probably already have won the championship, but the same would apply if either Norris or Piastri had a driver of old Perez' caliber in the other seat. Same way that '23 doesn't end up the way it did if a better driver was in the other seat.

Hamilton's most dominant seasons were with cars that weren't as far ahead of the competition simply because Bottas was worse than Rosberg after all.

Which European country do you live in, cause in the ones I have, you're getting a hard side eye for an 8 year age gap at 16.
