Am curious about demographics of f1 fans on tumblr

I consider myself an Alex Albon fan; I am queer and/or genderqueer+

I consider myself an Alex Albon fan; I am cishet

I DON’T consider myself an Alex Albon fan; I am queer and/or genderqueer+

I am not a fan of f1 or I am unfamiliar with f1 (how did you get here)

5 seconds of their time. People are going to love that. Actually they probably will.

Fred in the car confirming fully that it’s not just “George’s driving style” or “Kimi being better” but the cars being fundamentally different, that’s mamas little insider agent.

I think Frederik is a phenomenal driver with WDC level skill but no driver can jump into a car 4 times and instantly mimic the driving style of someone else- the fact he still had better straight line deployment than George despite George’s better lap time- it’s better but they have not fixed that fuckin deployment issue

it's easy to get the feeling that LLM coding agents making software development "free" now because a skilled engineer can do what used to take them two weeks in one intense day and that is a 10x speed up which is amazing but it's not free and they're working even harder than they did before, with zero downtime, and will burn out that much faster.

[sacrebleuth]

I saw a psychologist talk about how automating the 'easy tasks' means everyone's jobs will just get harder. Because the human has to do the hard stuff all the time now.

Her example was in call centers, where an agent might take 1 difficult call in 10, which is stressful, but the person has the 9 easy calls to offset that stress and recalibrate their nervous system. But when 'AI agents' take those 9 easy calls, you, the human, are left with 100% difficult calls. What used to be a small, unpleasant portion of your day now becomes your entire day, all day, every day.

And to make things worse, your boss fired all the other humans, so rather than spreading out the bad amongst a team of people who could commiserate and provide support, it's just you, absorbing the stress, alone, forever.

And that's miserable.

[argumate]

yeah that's a weird inversion of what happens in some other fields, most famously when autopilots steadily took away more pilot work in the easy situations, only to dump human pilots into impossible situations when they cut out at the worst possible time.

god god god god god god. abu dhabi, 2016. lewis backing nico into the pack. open schismy defiance broadcast live to the world. the team on the radio begging lewis to follow orders. speed up. the team wanting the title delivered cleanly. lewis refusing to let them play kingmaker. lewis driving like this is between nico and i now. lewis backing nico up to make sure that if nico loses he loses to him. lewis refusing to share nico with mercedes. he will take this from me, or i will take this from him. lewis dragging the story back to them. right down to the very last second of nico's racing career.

[formulaocean]

Can we talk about the FIA lifelong Piquet ban somehow converting into naming a new turn after him complete with hand prints directly next to Lewis’s

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

probably a good thing I don't intend to move back there anytime soon. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on bird crimes.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

@freedomisscaryshit I'm fucking dying I think you forgot the word "feathers" in your tags?? or do you just wish you could grab whole ass eagles that land in your yard??

[emotional-support-husband]

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

[chekhovs-raygun]

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

these laws, as harsh and ridiculous as they seem, saved flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, and all kinds of hawks and eagles from extinction. the minute these laws weaken and people can make money off killing them again, they're fucked.

[lizardlicks]

this is one of those "no actually this regulation exists for a reason" laws much like work place safety and building fire codes (that Republicans keep trying to roll back) and is written in blood just like them as well. it's just not human blood this time, and the fact that people actually cared enough about long term future over short term profit to get it put in place is nothing short of astonishing. That it didn't get put in place in time to save several species is heart breaking.

[werevampiwolf]

Yeah, in the late 1800s, not long before the law was passed, it was popular to wear bird feathers, and sometimes entire taxidermied birds, on hats
