Because of course people are always reasonable and back people and policies that are in their interest.

It seems like by and large there’s support in Russia for the invasion in Ukraine. They might not be willing to go to full mobilisation, but if they don’t have to die themselves they’re fine with the invasion.

Do you propose that the Ukrainians should stop fighting and plead with the Russian people to overthrow Putin?

The interesting part is that McLaren were fast in the corners, so that’s a good sign for Hungary.

We went through this back in the day on r/Formula1, banning spoilers restricts the conversation.

I get that sometimes you’re not able to watch live, restrict the Formula1 content you consume during that time.

You can’t have the entire F1 community tiptoe around you because you’ve not watched the race.

Having said that, other race series should be spoiler-free in this community.

Aren’t we infantilising F1 drivers then? “If we don’t put something physically in their way they won’t obey the rules”.

Other series have figured it out - MotoGP paints off-limits areas green and they put sensors on the edge. You get too many infringements you get a long lap penalty which costs you a few seconds.

I think this race worked well and they need to do the same at future races, and build consistency. Then people will learn not to take liberties.

If the enforcement overhead is too big, add a fine to the penalty as well: you cross off the track, you get €500 fine as well. Then use that to pay for extra stewards (or set up an automated system).

Actually, it looks like this time it might be true.

Next is speculation on my part, but I imagine people are turning conservative more based on their wealth than their age. We saw a correlation between age and conservative sentiment because people tended to gather wealth as they got older.

But that link has been progressively eroded, so people are no longer switching. Essentially the conservatives are killing the golden goose in their incessant pursuit of consolidating wealth.

Okay, so far successfully exiled to Belarus.

What’s the next step?

I’m still struggling to believe that they’ve taken the wrong turn at every point.

When this whole thing happened I figured they’d soften their stance a bit, only to go back on it months or years later and essentially boil the frog slowly. I figured I’d just move to the official app, not that big a deal, especially if they improve it.

Yet 2 weeks later I’ve deleted reddit and running Jerboa now, the way the community rallied is nothing short of incredible and I’m really proud to be here.

You know protests don’t work, because the people in power are telling you protests don’t work.

I must admit I was a bit skeptical about whether the protest will work, especially since from the beginning there was a 48h deadline on it, which set us up for failure.

But the way the community has rallied around this cause makes me so proud.

Reddit the corporate entity is failing us, but they’re learning that they only have power because the community chose them. Wish them good luck with their upcoming IPO with reddit currently being a dumpster fire.
