Nah man, nothing like dodging bullets and bombs at 200 mph

Good, they’re shitty tracks in shitty countries.

See i was gonna say good because all motorsports are boring and gruesome displays of misused wealth.

BassTurd@lemmy.world on 13 Mar 23:01 next collapse

I would suggest not watching motorsports if I were you then.

Decq@lemmy.world on 13 Mar 23:27 collapse

I mean… Can’t you say that for basically every form of entertainment that costs money, when you’re personally not invested? For example, how are all the marvel movies not a boring and gruesome display of misused wealth?

Or other peoples children

I personally find marvel movies boring, and a misuse of wealth, but marvel films aren't boring in the same way that cars going around in a circle is boring, and they're not gruesome in the way that eagerly waiting to see real people injured is gruesome.

That’s not really what motorsports are. Anything can sound boring based on how you describe it. And no one is eagerly waiting for crashes, that’s an absurd assertion.

ChicoSuave@lemmy.world on 14 Mar 01:15 next collapse

So true. Stupid moving pictures don’t show anything imagination can’t do cheaper, easier, and more realistically. Such a dumb waste of people’s own resources that they would otherwise hoard and never use, depriving society of the value and thus starving people of resources. They should just sit in their high castles and ivory towers enjoying their wealth to themselves. Fuck other people. Fuck letting them have fun.

Motorsport isn’t about waiting to see injury. Vast amounts of technology go into preventing injuries. Motorsport isn’t just cars going in a circle either. It seems you maybe aren’t familiar.

eagerly waiting to see real people injured

Tell me you don’t know a single thing about F1 without telling me you don’t know a single thing about F1.

The Bahrain circuit is decent I think and produces memorable races, but yeah I agree with the rest.

xc2215x@lemmy.world on 13 Mar 20:49 next collapse

Smart move from F1.

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world on 14 Mar 00:58 next collapse

But how will they sports-wash their appalling human rights violations?

ms_lane@lemmy.world on 14 Mar 02:33 next collapse

F1 at The Bend then?

We cancelled the 2020 opener because someone coughed in pit lane. No way are these races going ahead.
