@Formuladdict This shows differences in driving styles very clearly. It also shows that the quality between drivers is not as wide as some might think. The car definitely makes a difference. So it’s more of a Red Bull dominant era than a Vers dominated era.

@ahmed_baokbah The man has he to fight his whole life. The industry, the system, the sport itself… Now he’s fighting inside his own team. The urge to just let it all out has to be fought off too because of dignity, integrity, etc Must be heavy to deal with all of that for so long.

@mikesharman The socio economic struggles many people face might not be as common in privileged circles. We don’t know what sacrifices and obstacles they have had to face to get those qualifications. That job might be a ticket out of that. Consider what’s on the paper & not how it was sent?🤷‍♂️

@meganshead Thank you for speaking your truth. There are so many blurred lines but ultimately, this is not a Jewish issue or a religious one. From what I’ve seen and heard, it’s a Zionist and evil issue. It appears that humanity is a non-issue. That is the saddest part about all of it.

It’s always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.

@Stonetherealist @cmonama @GaytonMcK Just setting the record straight. I agree, the law needs to evolved. People seem to think that all laws should remain the same forever. Laws should be in place to achieve certain objectives - then be changed to reflect the newer status quo or direction we intend to move in.

A name is a powerful thing. Over time our name comes to fully represent everything about us; who we are and where we came from. And it’s the one word that’s uniquely connected to our identity. When someone says our name, we listen. What does your name mean?

Be realistic with yourself. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to experience anger. It’s okay to be hurt. You aren’t super human, and no one expects you to be. Take time to refill your own tank.

Most of us spend so much time hating things about ourselves that we don’t realize we’re crippling our ability to love others. There’s no way you can figure out how to love somebody else well in a relationship if you have not first figured out how to love yourself.

Faith and religion aside, I think that it’s intriguing to reflect on what Jesus’s mother, Mary, had to endure. Her son wasn’t typical. He went against customs, traditions, expectations. He had weird friends, travelled all the time, was hated and revered at the same time...

Generalization is a problem. People need to be specific when addressing things. You can’t paint with broad strokes and label entire people’s, cultures, places, etc the same. Get used to using words like many, most, largely, etc. That’s where offense comes in. Be more definite.

If you want a relationship to grow, you need to make time for it. We only make time for what we care about and consider a top priority. When you do not have time for something or someone you consider a priority, you will make the time—you will reprioritise.
