It seemed like quite a few drivers were not improving anyways even without the yellows

“Keep moving the goalposts”? Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain. And it does make a difference to me personally if someone said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago, or recently after this change

Spielberg turns into Suzuka with its own burning grass.
And lol the steward slowly dragging the extinguisher over there was a great Austrian stereotype haha

There are only three tenths between Bortoleto and Hulkenberg, but in that span is more than half of the field

When did he state this? Recently?

Hm, I’m not sure about that. There was a point in time where he was - even outside his videos - engaging with Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk. Echoing their philosophies and world views. The alt-right was using him and his platform to lure teenagers in. It’s possible that Felix did not even realize what was happening there. Or he was brainwashed himself for some time.

The important thing is that from 2019 onwards he clearly distanced himself from any of that.

He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.

Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

Yeah I know some big german youtubers who years ago were like “we need to be more independent from youtube” and set up their own website. Every year the costs for hosting that would take out a huge cut of their earnings, so at the start of 2025 they finally gave up and said they couldnt pour even more money into that project as it simply wasnt profitable.

Absolutely true for the time the article was written (2017). He changed his ways after the Christchurch attacks which happened in 2019.

Ah yes, looks like piefed.social is currently having an outage or trouble. That explains it

For some reason I can not access the new community coming from piefed.zip . Fetching it fails.

I’ve seen stuff from minds.com on my mastodon timeline quite a while ago, so it must have been at least some time now that they’re federated

Sainz and Wolff dropping out after multiple national automobile clubs have already thrown their support behind Ben Sulayem. Looks like they know they wouldnt have a chance how it stands right now.

I hope at least the european clubs will vote against him. Hugely disappointing to see clubs from South America and other places support Sulayem.

So these are the guidelines that the stewards use when deciding on on-track incidents. I didnt even know that there are standardized guidelines like that.

Really interesting comments by Watts on how Covid impacted the no way home production in multiple ways:

“The emotional strain of having to go through all of those COVID protocols while also trying to make something creative while also trying to make sure that your cast and crew were all safe — literally, people could’ve died if you did things wrong — that and the postproduction process was very difficult. When you’re doing [visual effects work], there’s a whole international component to it where you’re using vendors from all over the world, and the supply chain had been interrupted because of COVID. It was really hard to get effects done in a traditional way.”

Of course it isnt fun when you go into it with the mindset that the story will be that. I have only watched the first episode so far and it doesnt seem like Iron Man to me at all, bar the fact that it’s comic booky and superheroe-y.

And my point was that reviews should actually review a show/movie. And not be a general feedback tool for how a franchise is perceived. The studios have failed in providing such more broad and general feedback channels.

Please mark spoilers ;)

Their new company split is not splitting Warner Brothers from Discovery though. They are splitting the company in a different way.

Case in point, apparently you don’t even realize that this isn’t a movie. It’s a show.

People review bombing stuff that they don’t want to see, and probably didn’t even see (or just the first five minutes), simply is not behaviour that should be encouraged. Unfortunately nowadays reviews don’t mean shit anymore for the original purpose of reviews: to be a guide for people who are interested in watching something, to see if watching this particular thing is worthwhile.

Nowadays these reviews or ratings are being used by the monoculture people to say “at the moment our monoculture likes x and hates y”. And that’s stupid bs that the mainstream has caused.
