Well with our long history of slavery and institutionalized racism. Yeah, the smart ones are.

Dude... no... You can’t blame black people for a white person using a slur everyone knows is wrong to use. Everyone knows. EVERYONE KNOWS.

I think you mean, it’s holding people accountable for a word that is not acceptable to use under ANY circumstances. Everyone knows 12 year olds use it on chat playing COD and it’s still unacceptable. Full-grown adults should never use it and should the expected to never use it. The reason so many people are taking…

Yeah the way I understood it, he lost a sponsor, not his job (at least not directly). NASCAR didn’t do anything to him as I understand it.

Can confirm. Spent some time in Alabama recently. If it’s not racial slurs, it’s juvenile talk about buttholes. It’s not even clever dirty talk (which I fully support and enjoy). Who doesn’t love a good dick joke? What they do, it’s just... gross. It’s a point of pride too which is even more annoying.

your* Why can’t I edit comments?!

Agreed. I don’t get why people feel the need to use it at all. It’s completely unnecessary. It’s never an appropriate or correct word to use to describe anyone AND there is the added risk that if heard by the public, it could ruin your life. Especially if you’re livelihood depends on you having a relatively positive,…

It’s discredited by the extenuating circumstance under which the run was achieved. Run doesn’t count when the country has been told to stay home.

No, because they can’t remove traffic from the roads. The traffic was literally removed from the roads for these asshats to dangerously and recklessly drive through.

I’m gonna say this run doesn’t count. Anywhere it’s mentioned, there should be an asterisk next to it that they took advantage of most of the country being told to stay home because of a worldwide epidemic. It’s like a sports team saying they won when the other team couldn’t show up. That’s a forfeit and forfeits might…

A link to the opinion would be nice. I know the verge article links to it, but for the sake of completeness, this post should link to it too.

She is not comfortable. She’s the exact opposite.

I like it way more than the American offerings, but I’m going to make the same complaint I usually do out of fairness. Why is it so god damned heavy? Jesus. This is the same company that makes the S1000RR. 750lbs is a barge.

Well you’re not out of work, now are you? What’s the rush? You’ll get your check when you get it.

I don’t think it’s fair to the athletes to allow a system that would require them to sacrifice their physical and mental health and safety just to be competitive in their sport. Steroids greatly increase the likelihood that an athlete will become injured or die. It’s one reason body builders don’t usually age well, if…

I think the FIA did a bad job explaining its seemingly contradictory ruling. It accepted that ingestion was unintentional, but still banned him. Is getting caught with PEDs in your system is a strict violation now? If it is, this all makes sense because whether the athlete intentionally ingested the PED would only have…

One point I forgot. They also need to do this while not getting too tired because once they get tired, they make mistakes. At the speeds they are going, missing a brake marker by only a fraction of a second means missing it by yards. That can be the difference between the perfect line and not even making the corner.

Just riding a sportbike on the road it tiring and requires you to be in shape. Riding a 300hp MotoGP bike balls out around a race track for 45 minutes is absolutely athletic. The amount of strength you need to throw yourself around a bike at the Gs they pull requires these guys to be athletes.

Yeah but who is going to pay for all of that abused methodone? Certainly not the users because they likely can’t afford it. Insurance? Sweet. I like when my insurance premiums go to furthering someone else’s addiction.

Because a sizable part of the consumer base still likes owning physical media. Hard drives fail and online services have a shelf life. Lots of people own their systems for more than a few years and a not insignificant number for over a decade. Physical media ensures that they will be able to play their games long…
