  • They want to portray that image of pinnacle of technology but that’s not the case imo.

    Any time a competitor innovates anything it’s banned almost immediately. The latest ruleset we have now permitted more ground effect aero - they allowed something from the 80s. Not exactly peak innovation.

    EVs are where it’s at in the real world, while F1 is having discussions about V10s 😄
    At this rate looks like it’ll take a few decades for F1 to catch up.

    Thanks for your perspective, I didn’t know I came across quite like that.
    In my defense though, I wasn’t trying to propagandize. I may be wrong and stupid but that’s how people can be sometimes?! 🤷
    And regarding personal abuse - the person called me a moron and I said they didn’t understand geopolitics - I don’t think I really abused 'em 🤔

    I know you can see it, it’s no secret, but

    1. it’s missing to whom and to what I replied to
    2. lots of comments have been deleted, you can’t even see those afaik

    In most cases I’d say I am not trolling nor being disingenuous. Maybe I did troll when I replied just “Orange man bad” to someone, but even then I was trying to create a bigger argument that Trump doesn’t work alone and the issue is much bigger than 1 bad guy - there’s the people around him, the party around him, etc. - and this is my genuine opinion, again, stupid or not. :/

    Really? The guy who called me a moron didn’t get a ban. I was polite to him, but got one anyway 😆
    What I’m getting at is, when did free speech stop applying to stupid people? (I’m assuming that’s why you think I deserve it - for being just factually incorrect, not too rude or anything?)

    Ok I’m wrong about stuff, I’m being stupid, but isn’t it better for others to rebut my arguments than just banning me? Like if you ban me you don’t change my mind, nor do I just stop existing or anything…

    I’ve been thinking about this topic lately, now that corporate social media is all about “free speech” since Trump got re elected. I don’t use those platforms, but I think they banned obvious cases like racists and such, and then everyone could pretend those people didn’t exist anymore and we live in a nice and happy world without racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. But it’s been festering in the background, and now BOOM! you get Trump 2.0 😄
