At the rate Lawson is going they are going to rip him outta that car by lap 5 of the race.

Either Max is an alien and his driving style makes the car undrivable or there really is a curse on that second red bull seat.

Imagine giving a shit what a bunch of kids think about you lmao.

Just turn up your hardcore rap and hit the vape extra loud. Blow fat clouds at those nerds.

This is super dope. I hope they do this for pole position for every qualifying session going forward. Show the gap from the perspective of p2.

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that many many people are driving around on tires that are way below minimum acceptable tread wear here in California. Some of them just don’t understand. Some are incompetent. Some are poor.

When I recently got all 4 of my tires replaced I watched the tire techs warn several customers that the tread on their tires was too low and every single one of them said they couldn’t afford new tires right now so rotate them and let them leave.

A tire tax would likely just increase the number of people trying to stretch a tire way past it’s recommended minimum tread depth for safety in order to save money. This would have a negative effect on road safety in the long run.

Not to mention it would also just incentivise people to put on the hardest and longest lasting rubber they can find meaning that in cold or wet conditions they will have significantly worse performance again leading to more accidents.

The tire tax idea seems like a very bad idea.

…the company that is having trouble keeping it’s doors attached to its airliners.

Another Bang up choice from King Cheeto.

Thats a very interesting take.

I want you to point out for me a single government where the people are happy with them across the board. Hell I’ll take even 75% of a population thinking their government is doing a good job with everything.

What one person might find very important will not be important at all to someone else. Where one person might see governmental overreach another might see a perfectly reasonable government.

This is why government is so difficult. My idea of the ideal functioning government probably doesn’t look exactly like what you would find to be an acceptable government.

1. Because the people protesting represent in the single digit percentages of the voter base of America. An extremely vocal minority, but still a minority of Americans.

2. Boy who cried wolf situation. Protesting every single thing endlessly for years on end has made the average person stop caring about whatever you’re protesting about. Not saying it’s right but that is how many people view continual protesting.

3. The far left protests lost most of their corporate backing this time around. As soon as the bean counters up top realized that pandering to the social stuff on the left wasn’t going to net them record profits they all dropped supporting the issues like a bad habit. They saw the popular vote change and they all dropped their masks immediately. Remember this in 10 years when the balance swings back again and you see target suddenly pretending to give a shit about gay right again or whatever it is at that time. They only ever cared about money.

4. Lack of unified direction of protests. There are tons of local and small group protests as many people have linked in the comments, but outside of these small tight-knit online communities planning these things the general public has absolutely no clue any of them are happening. There isn’t a single unifying “thing” to rally around like the BLM protests had with George Floyd. When the angry mob can’t direct their anger all in the same direction it loses power.

5. Since modern media runs on outrage (clicks) and they have seen that most people don’t care anymore they have moved onto other things in order to generate the clicks they want to make the money for the big guy.

Ah yes. Because they totally have a track record of not sucking absolute ass 24/7.

Listen they gave out a participation trophy to Jimmy Weatherford when I was in little League and that fucker never did a goddamn thing. I’ve suffered just as much if not more than today’s youths.

You make a good point. Even if you have options if they all agree to hike rates at the same time then it basically doesn’t matter.

Essential services shouldn’t operate as for profit, but how do we fix the often ineptly ran government options?

There has to be a better option between greedy for profit corporation and borderline inept government run choices.

None of this would be a problem if people had other options. Unfortunately unless you decide to go off grid entirely your only choice in pretty much the entirety of California is PG&E.

It’s the same problem with Internet providers in so many areas. They only allow one provider in an area and that provider has no incentive to make a good product or a decent deal because it’s not like they can lose your business to someone else and having Internet is basically a requirement in today’s society.

I love California for its natural beauty and varied landscapes but the management here is really fucking shit up for everyone.

Government sanctioned monopoly that is bleeding it’s customer base dry. Idiots.

Companies need to stop going for unlimited growth and start aiming for profitable stability instead. This “line must go up” mentality at every company is a fucking poison.

Newsome is going to get replaced by the first person that promises to reign in PG&E.

I love ordering food delivery, but I’m sorry if you gotta finance your food order you shouldn’t be ordering it for delivery.

I’m over 30 and miserable. Don’t count me out on this one.

I think it depends on the bike entirely.

My MT-07 had a stiff clutch (to me) when I got it but eventually I got comfortable using 2 fingers.

Rode my buddies Honda rebel 500 and that thing had a clutch you could pull with a whisper. That bike was the least amount of effort I have ever needed to actually ride anything.

Rode another buddies ninja zx-6r and that clutch required full hand from me the whole time. He uses two but idk how.

Ultimately I think it just comes down to familiarity with the bike and the hand strength you form over time.

Only just recently was I able to listen to Jack Johnson again without it reminding me of my 8th grade girlfriend right away. I’m 32.

Using this math I won’t be able to listen to the weekend until sometime in 2040 without it reminding me of a specific ex.

Thankfully I learned my lesson and I stopped associating artists to girlfriends. I don’t need to lose an emotional connection and an artist I enjoy every time.

Until thunder adds the ability to DM people properly I can’t really fully leave sync behind. The second thunder gets DMs working I’ll be ditching sync as well.

I don’t need a job that brings me joy. I just need one that pays the bills and doesn’t make wanna walk into traffic after every shift.

I’ve had mine stored safely in an old wallet in a random drawer somewhere in my house for… My entire life at this point.
