F1 fanbase is so terribly polarized these days. Especially on reddit. Apparently you can only like one driver and hate the rest but one the most - looking at you George. I think a lot of this comes from the new ‘fans’ who only watch DTS and have no real clue or care about the history and development of the sport. Now I must say as a follower for one 20 years, I don’t like the new autodrive cars, I do hate MBS, and the direction the liberty media is going.

Edit: the thing I hate the most is that the removed the 3 decimal places on the timing sheets, but only for the main race. For P1, P2, P3 and qualifying it is still OK. That is the dumbest dumb down ever in the sport.

Wait till you read Trump tweet or truth or whatever that shit is called, when this is finally his turn.

Just a history lesson.

As Jericho used to say ‘You just made the list’. It’s better than a Reddit award.

To run a foreign country that you illegally invaded and removed the legally elected head of government? Sure that is all just perfectly fine.

If only this could happen to the US, the world would be a much better place.

No point arguing or giving facts to these people. You are wasting your time. They are stuck in their propaganda bubble. Meanwhile the US has the worst credit system in the world, up to 800% interests to keep the poor people poor, no healthcare but GoFundMe, no infrastructure structure like high speed rail, but keep shitting on China.

China doesn’t care. They are already so far ahead of the US in so many ways like again infrastructure, green energy, EV’s, etc.

Leave these poor people in their Newsmax and Fox, meta bubble. They are not worth it.

Especially on the Jellyfin TV version it’s a fucking nightmare. I had to switch to kodi just to get subs working.

I wanted to start a rebuttal but realistically I’ll never change your mind. I just want to say all the things you mentioned like healthcare, housing, education, infrastructure (how is the high speed rail network in the US?) , social security, living wage, and privacy laws like the GDPR are all part of life in China. You make it sound, like most ignorant people who never visit China, like it’s some North Korea here. At least China is not beholden to its tech companies and lobby groups, who buy and own the current US regime. There is more competition and choice here than I ever had in the US. With the exception of ranch sauce that is. Lasty the big difference between China and most Asian countries vs western civilization, is the sense of community. In the US most people are selfish and for themselves - maybe because of the lack of the basic services you mentioned - and if your job doesn’t benefit them, no interest. Especially covid this difference in community became very clear.

I lived and worked in both the US and China. My life was infinitely better in China. You don’t even notice the cameras but what you do notice is that I can go to my café, leave my electric scooter unlocked with helmet on, get a table outside, put my laptop on it and then go inside to order coffee without any fear anything will get stolen. In the parks there are public coat racks and people put their jackets, backpacks and other stuff on without any hesitation. You feel safe at night walking down the street by yourself. This feeling I rarely have anywhere else. Delivery packages are left outside and gathered sometimes outside of the compound on the public walkway without being stolen.

Now whenever I travel to Europe, I have to totally reverse this behavior otherwise all my shit will be gone. That to me is awful.

I dumped Mullvad once it stopped working in China and support was ‘yeah go fuck yourself. We don’t care about China customers’. And indeed it stopped working for months so I indeed fucked off. Now have a much, much better, working VPN with 99.99% uptime. And so, so much faster than Mullvad ever was.

The idea itself is terrible, independent of age. It always starts with something like this and before you know, it gets expanded. Because a lot of people are like you: ‘don’t worry. It will be alright. Doesn’t impact us’. The same for chat control.

Soon we have no assets because everything is subscription and no freedom because ‘of the children’. Before people comment ‘it’s like China’, at least China is honest why it is restricting the internet. And if course in Europe the politicians are exempt, just like with the chat control law. This is such a dangerous development all over the world.

If the US decides to close most of the bases, all the money they save will go to universal health care for Americans right?

Note that most countries can travel visa free to China for upto 30 days. It includes all European countries as well as South America, Canada and middle east.

Of course the USA is excluded for so many obvious reasons.

Rutte is a traitorous cunt who destroyed the liveablity in the Netherlands and is now actively trying to destroy Europe and NATO. Just because him and Trump bonded on Epstein island means the world will suffer.

They want to turn Reddit into a rightwing echo chamber. Lately there are so many comments on lemmy about people getting perma banned, including myself, for breaking rule 1. However in most cases, like myself, only made a comment without any harm or even a reference to violence. I only commented that ICE can forget about their payments and bonuses and that in 3 years time, they’ll be sucking immigrant cock behind a Wendy’s. That got me a perma ban after 15 years on Reddit. All these tech bros are bending the knee and getting taken from behind. Such short term thinking will become their downfall. If this happens, it’ll be a good thing for Lemmy.
