Of course Louis thinks that Daniel was turned "out of spite," having just spent 70+ years of his own life in a spitetuationship. How could any other motivation exist when Armand is involved?

The copaganda on this show never fails to annoy me. Not only was it so goddamn excessive in this episode, but it completely overshadowed plot lines from last week's episode that should've been revisited and expanded upon.

And this may be a differing experience for me considering I'm a black person who watches this show, but if a scene of copaganda ends up reminding me of a real-life case of police brutality, then I'd much rather it be reduced exponentially or just not involved in the plot AT ALL. The writer's room could make these instances true to life all they want, I'm always gonna end up with a bad taste in my mouth.

AND IF THE BUCK/JEE-YUN SCENES ENDED UP BEING CUT FOR THIS STUPID COPAGANDA PLOT I SWEAR TO GOD-

Reflecting on the Australian GP:

The FIA and the stewards, since 2021, have become so concerned with the entertainment factor and avoiding backlash that they are risking driver safety. Yes, last year's race was a shit show that ended a bit controversially. But when a car is upside down, with the driver, in a blind spot around a corner, that should be at the very least a safety car, but more preferably a red flag. I don't care if it's the last lap.

Remember Baku 2021? Two tire failures, with one leading to a safety car and, more importantly, one to a red flag when Max was stranded on the straight. And people were mad that the red flag took so long to be called, including Charles and other drivers. It seemed that overall, it was agreed that it was the right call to either divert the cars or red flag the race.

Three years later, George is begging for a red flag while cars zip by him under a VSC. While it wasn't the last lap, Baku 2021 showed precedent that the F1 community would support a red flag and that it would be the correct decision. So do a multitude of other races. Car stopped on track? Especially on a street circuit? That's a safety car at minimum.

But recency bias rears its ugly head. Last year, three red flags in Australia 2023 pissed off several drivers and teams, especially due to the handling of the last red flag and the decision on restart order. Mind you, they weren't mad about the red flag itself. It seems that rather than improving themselves and using last year as a learning opportunity, race control instead decided to correlate late red flags with ire from fans/drivers. The complete wrong lesson. It was the last lap, and the only close battle had just taken itself out. The results wouldn't have changed at all.

They put their own comfort over driver safety, hell, driver's LIVES. We are damned lucky nothing happened. Since Masi, stewards have gotten so hesitant and inconsistent, and I'm concerned.

Greens, why are you like this?

Okay...hate that I have to say this...but if I do not know you or you're not a mutual, and you send me a message not in ask (sometimes even in asks for certain reasons)...I will NOT respond to you.

Not coz I'm being an ass. More coz maybe I'm too exhausted to answer, or I don't feel comfortable, or I'm feeling extra social anxiety that day, or I just don't feel like succumbing to being guilted and/or borderline harassed.

I am going through some shit right now, and I am not in the capacity to be at my 100%, or without likely snapping at someone, which i don't wanna do. Please respect that.
