Do you think killing someone is political only if the targets are politicians?

And how do billionaires become billionaires if it's not a realistic goal?

Yeah, not really surprised. The writing has been on the wall, but I was still hoping for Tsunoda to get the seat because he's put in the effort. RB has been shaping him as a driver for 4 years and then instead of promoting him to the main team they essentially pick a reserve driver over him. How shitty is that? It might be understandable if he was better than Yuki, but Yuki is the better driver. And the spat between Perez and Lawson showed that Lawson is also hot headed like Tsunoda. I know Tsunoda had his huge tirade at the start of the year but Ricciardo seemed to set him straight and he has clearly cooled himself off since then.

Anyway, it's a nice finishing touch to the "stupid decisions RBR has made this year" list.

But the reason why they think it had to be done still matters. "This CEO wronged me personally" and "the systemic oppression made me do it" contextualize the act in a very different way. The reason he did this is why it's political. If he had done it because he had a personal vendetta against the CEO or he had some religious beliefs that made him do it or if he was just insane, then it wouldn't be a political reason. But he did it because (paraphrasing his statement) he saw an unopposed corrupt system that needed to be opposed. That is a political reason.

The reason for "it had to be done" is political.

Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.

He explicitly states that he does not have the "space" nor the qualification to lay out what you want him to lay out, but he pretty much says what you said he should've said for it to be political: "Privatized health insurance is corrupt and greedy, we've known it for a long time and nothing has been done to prevent or stop it, thus I took a more violent approach to do something about the corruption and greed."

I can't wait for a future where the US has fixed its problems. Trump is just a symptom of a deeper issue within the US and when Trump is gone someone else will take his place and it'll probably get worse.

Is he wrong though? Stroll and Alonso have 2 WDCs between them, you even that out and they're both WDC contenders.

DNC just hates leftists, age doesn't really matter.

My last year of Reddit (prior to the API purge) was very much filled with low effort comments. You get a lot of votes and comments but the votes don't matter and the comments are largely empty one-liners. I doubt it's gotten better since I left.

I'd say even the assholes on Lemmy put more effort into the comments than Redditors do. Except tankies who just love to flood the comments with their copy paste list of sources for "everything".

Actually there is [email protected] which is an active community.

My only gripe with the new switch is the lack of ergonomics, which is also the issue with the current switch. But I don't really care because chances are I'm unlikely to be using it in handheld mode with joycons. If I want to take the switch with me it comes along with a pro controller and I use the stand. I guess joycon quality is also relevant question mark.

But yeah, I'm also mostly interest in the software because Switch was pretty barebones. I'm definitely expecting more from Switch 2 (or whatever they'll call it).
