Waiting the whole season for Max to make a single mistake and when it finally happens it's in a Q1 that doesn't matter
You're right. Going down through the levels of "okay, and why?" works on a theoretical level but requires both the person asking the right why-question and a level of intellectual honesty from both parties that is incredibly hard to find.
It's not a bad approach for questioning your own beliefs though, if you can muster the strength to be honest with yourself.
I like the client-side interface and really appreciate the ability to follow users but Kbin seems to have some backend issues still. Remember that Kbin is at an extremely early stage of development and really wasn't ready for mass adoption (it's a couple of months old!)
My first thought was AstroTurf too but honestly Lemmy is still small enough that I wonder if Meta even cares enough for it to pay for astroturfing here. They got more signups in a couple of hours than Lemmy got users in three years, and by several magnitudes even. Plus it's an inherently hostile demographic for them. They're better off investing in positive posting on Reddit, which I'm sure is what they're already doing.
They'll kill it by having the largest userbase, and therefore the most and best content, and then finally defederating and forcing everyone to join Threads. At least that's what they'll most likely attempt to do. It remains to be seen whether they'll be successful. The EEE approach has been used before and is well documented.

More ambitious teams on the grid is always good, and a proper American team (sorry Haas) will lead to more engagement in the US which should help growth. I know the Americanization of the sport is a controversial topic and I too am dreading the Las Vegas GP (though the spectacle will probably be great the track looks dreadful for racing), but I think capturing the American market will be important for the big teams to stay committed to the sport. It would also just be exciting to have more than 20 cars on the grid again.
Now we just need to get rid of Alpha Tauri, though sadly the sale doesn't seem to be happening.
Tiger works on Swordfish at start-of-battle which kills itself so it can work on Snake behind the Jellyfish, and then both Snake and Tiger jump behind the Mushroom-Trex to work a third time.
I've noticed lemmy.world has been much more responsive today so something seems to be working!
I guess a consensus hasn't been firmly established on memes but I personally wouldn't mind restricting them on this sub, creating a separate Soccer Shitpost sub and linking that in the sidebar.
It's a clusterfuck really, but yeah the lead writer, designer and artist were all fired and lost the rights to the IP. Litigation is still ongoing I think, and hopefully Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov can regain the right to at least produce more work in the IP in the future. Heartbreaking for Kurvitz especially since he's built the IP with and for his friends from the age of 15.
It's run through the Open Collective, and is also run by Ruud who runs one of the larger Mastodon instances as well as some other stuff on the Fediverse I believe. They're a fairly trusted actor in the space and I think pretty transparent with everything they do which is probably another reason many people flocked there.
This is starting to get embarrassing for Checo. I thought people were exaggerating how precarious his position was but if he keeps performing like this RB might actually be forced to take action.
Imagine if RB had an actual competitor, Checo couldn't support Max at the front at all if he keeps going like this.
