Slamball was incredible when I was a kid. Incredibly dangerous though. Didn't it eventually devolve into everyone trying to shoot threes?

FYI, Slamball is returning this year, so we can all get hyped for it, watch the game then be disappointed with how boring it actually is.

Wait... that seems oddly familiar.

Khablam's argument is the stupid poo poo I've ever loving read but by the same token he's only making this argument as a part of your weird max gimmick so he probably should also be probated for trivialising trauma by incorporating it into his posting gimmick.

There's people that actually loving experience domestic violence that all the high moraled morons in this thread are trivalizing by acting like cracking a few jokes about max catching the occasional backhand is some unforgivable sin.

I was told pointing to Max as a future multiple WDC holder was also part of that "gimmick" as I couldn't possibly be posting earnestly.

One day you'll all learn on a long enough time line I am always right.

Half distance, so ~20 minutes. It’s grueling on the riders though, and they get actually injured in crashes.

Can’t wait to see how it causes catastrophic injuries, too. Think that’s why the original run of the show was cut short.

Yeah, all this got us so far is 5 riders and bikes missing from the grid in the last race.

Definitely not a rip on them riding 45 minute, but 20 minute race seems real lovely and I don't know if upping their race time to 1 hr+ is a good idea

the paradigm shift
Jan 18, 2006

none of it's a good idea and the way they implemented it all at once for every race seems bad but the riders have very little power

the reason people aren't really complaining about them is they've been pretty fun so far because they're actual races as opposed to f1 sprints where it ends right as the race gets started

I would like to hear tissot less tho

'Don't use the R word' is a hard and clear rule you should know as it features in every other post of your rap sheet. This isn't something that should be hard to discern. I've brought up many times that it's only banned because it was the one and only ableist slur from victorian England that got a movement behind it so the rest pass by default. Everyone knows if you applied the same logic to the rest of language you'd have to ban insulting people in general but that isn't a conversation anyone wants to actually have so just don't use the one specific no-no word.
Just pick another favoured term from victorian medicine and move on!

On the other hand "trauma is funny and a joke actually, if it happens to someone I don't like" is a take that any functional adult should know to be a bad move™ and just don't do it.

just like forumula 1 i didnt read this post i mean in the case that i do noy watch the bad fail sport of formula 1 just like my eyes just glze over if my brain tries to read your fail rear end posts

Just make sure your knives don't come with a bolster. Makes em harder to sharpen.

I dunno if it's accessible to everyone after the NYT takeover but the Wirecutter has a good overview and they recommend the Victronox (sp?) that was mentioned earlier.

Also, gently caress Max!

Yeah the victorinox fibrox knives have been a good deal for years but idk some folks are the "I hang 7 santokus on the wall in my living room in case anyone comes over" type and maybe plastic handles aren't his thing

I think everyone's general complaint is that after two of them five riders are out due to injury and that's in no way sustainable with 21 races. It's a complete loving meat grinder.

Especially given MotoGP hasn't figured out the concept of having reserve riders being less than 2 weeks travel away so despite Pol being injured in practice for round 1, they didn't have a replacement even at round 2 and the works Honda team got themselves into a situation where they couldn't even field an entry at the start of round 2.

So I heard that Ferrari has issued a legal challenge against Sainz's penalty. I hope they succeed with their appeal. The whole ending was a shitshow so punishing Sainz specifically feels kind of moot.

I don’t remember the wording specifically but for one or two rounds a team is allowed to not field a bike. So in this case Repsol Honda can keep Marquez out from Argentina and bring him back for COTA.

With injuries that are longer term there’s a requirement to have a replacement rider, which is what KTM/GasGas/Tech3 have done for Pol from COTA forward.

Tl;dr blame the rules, as usual.
