  • I’m gonna be honest with you, I dislike the attitude of “I never understood sth” followed by confrontational and accusational language. Maybe you did not intend to be hostile, but you’re much less likely to get a straight answer with that tone. You’re much more likely to trigger “I know, right!?” responses by people already sharing your opinion/impression.

    Seems like you already made up your mind about lurkers apparently. Let me tell you why I mostly lurk. I guess this applies to others as well.

    • Just because people don’t engage on social media does not mean they don’t engage in other parts of life.
    • Engaging takes effort, time and energy. Many people don’t have those to spare.
    • Contributions are also is not guaranteed to get positive feedback. Discussions with people holding different opinions is difficult for some people (various reasons). Open hostility is also a possibility.
    • Some (I guess most) people are not here to have discussions at all, just to consume. They are not primarily looking for a community, but entertainment or news. They have other priorities / more important things to do.

    Maybe you actually were interested in an honest answer. Here it is.





  • I’m sorry, but no. This is not a Spa problem. A crash like this could have happened at a large number of circuits in these conditions.

    Remember that wet Brazil GP a few years ago when Kimi spun on the start finish straight, ending up stationary at a 90 degree angle to the track? Could have easily been fatal had he been hit. Same possibility at Baku (even in the dry because of the blind corners), Monza, …

    It’s basically impossible the run modern open seaters in these conditions because of all the aero downforce and thus spray. That’s the discussion to have imo.

    I don’t think that just because some people don’t abandon Reddit now means they’re apathetic or desensitized in general. There’s so many things wrong with the world and not everyone can and will fight everything all the time. People have different item on the top of their lists.

    I’m certain you are doing things in your life others would be flabbergasted at like you are here. For example: Do you eat meat, tuna, stuff with palm oil? Do you have pets? Do you drive a car? There’s people out there who’d call you apathetic to the problems these things cause.

    I’m certainly not a saint 100% of the time because if I tried I’d fall apart. Like everyone else would.
