#fixed penalty

If you choose to get rid of a baby, and the sight of someone praying upsets you, then you have bigger problems than you think.

Someone on Twitter in response to this:

strongly dislike the hyperbolic violence of a punitive justice system that seems to be how the internet responds to any bad thing because. the implications of being like "the person who cut down this tree should be tortured to death/put through a wood chipper/hanged/locked up forever"... do you really think that would help? do you think a tree, however special, is worth more than a human life? do you think an act like this negates the possibility of that person ever doing anything good and contributing to the world? do you think it is your right to declare somebody irredeemable?

you're being hyperbolic, i hope, but the underlying mindset of "bad thing = physically hurt this person and take away their future" could use some interrogating, actually! that's not an effective way of dealing with things! it's not going to put the tree back up, it's not going to help the environment, it's only going to cause additional harm. and that is the thing that gets me, how everything always seems to be about PUNISHMENT and hurting wrongdoers and not about minimising harm, not about reducing future damage, not about actual, real justice that might put some goddamn good into this world

this is ESPECIALLY true for crimes that, while shocking and cruel, don't actually physically harm any human beings. like cutting down a special tree. our response to a bad thing should not be to add more, worse things to the world, to be honest. and i am concerned that the tone of these jokes/hyperbolic remarks normalises a mindset and an approach to justice that should not, in fact, be normalised

So you're telling me the fia are giving Carlos a 10-place penalty after he had to replace his car parts that got damaged in their shitty track that they deemed fit for them to drive on??!

Ferrari's Defender

formula1news Charles Leclerc's girlfriend, having just recently escaped scandal after it was leaked that her relationship with said Ferrari driver was initially a PR set up, is under fire once more, the woman currently being heard yelling at the FIA stewards over their awarding of a 10 place penalty to Carlos Sainz. Thoughts?

"Ms.Earnhardt, this is incredibly inappropriate behavior. You are a guest at this event and we could very well-"

"Very well what? Throw me out? How is that going to look F1 if you throw the clearly distressed, sobbing girlfriend of il Predestinato out of the race? With many fans here due to my presence as the Princess of Nascar?" I glare, the steward flinching at my tone.

"This race has had nothing but bad PR. Your world champion Verstappen has been saying to everyone how he hates it here. The only positive media attention has been Hamilton's energy and the crossover event of my brother's, father, and I being here, representing Nascar."

And you can tell by their faces that they are aware that I am right. If they kick my family and I out now, they'll only face more backlash than they already are.

"What was your reason for being here?" Another steward asks, her voice gentler than the other, but whether that's for my benefit or hers I don't know.

"Carlos Sainz did not deserve that penalty."

"Ms.Earn-"

"No," I interrupt once more, the man from earlier quieting immediately. "Sainz only had to replace his power unit because of the FIA's negligence in ensuring that the track was safe for driving. You're truly lucky that he wasn't injured or worse given the state of the bottom of his car. This coupled with your clear disregard for driver safety-"

"We regard driver's safety very highly Ms.Earnhardt."

"Clearly that is not the case, given that you'd rather penalize him than apologize for the dangerous situation you put him in. You are aware that he was unable to feel his legs for a few moments right?"

They are. You can tell based on their expressions.

"And if you don't fix this, you know the negative publicity surrounding this race will increase ten-fold when the rest of the drivers comment on the injustice as well."

"They know better," The original steward disagrees.

"Do they?" I question, smirking at the oblivious man. "I already have Verstappen, Albon, Norris, Hamilton, and Piastri willing to speak on this. As well as my father, who I don't know if you remember, is Dale Earnhardt Jr., and would bring into question the validity of how penalties are given out in Formula 1," The explanation rolls off my tongue easily, smirk never leaving as their eyes grow wide.

Got 'em.

"What would you like to see happen to prevent you and the others from drawing attention?"

"Remove the penalty from Sainz. This was your fault, take responsibility like a big kid."

And its now that they pause, looking between themselves before the grouchy one nods, crossing his arms.

"We will notify the teams now and have the announcement released in the next hour."

"Good, thank you," I thank, smiling brightly. "I look forward to seeing the rest of the weekend," I assure, turning around and leaving the viewing platform to find both Ferrari boys, my brothers, and my dad outside the door.

"So? Did you hand them their asses?" Will asks, Alex elbowing his twin.

Looking to Carlos, I can see the concern and some of the emotion from earlier still in his eyes, making him look so much older.

"Carlos, they are notifying the teams now," I begin, Charles tugging me into his side. "Your penalty is being removed after further evaluation," I can't help but smile.

"Really?"

And I want to cry at how relieved he looks as I nod.

"Eres una diosa mi amiga, (you are a goddess my friend)" He says, and while I'm not sure what that means, he pulls me into a hug.

"How'd you manage this amore mio (my love)?" Charles asks, pulling me back in as Carlos releases me.

"I told them I would make the negative media attention even worse by speaking out, along with other drivers and my father, making this race even more of a mess than it already is," I explain, my Dad snickering.

"That's my little girl."

formula1news Sainz will move into the race Sunday with no penalty due to convincing by teammates girlfriend

carlossainz55 This is Lynnleigh. She supports not only my teammate, her boyfriend, but the entire team. And today she has gotten more hate for that than I have seen in the last month.

Lynnleigh stood up for the team when we were given an undeserved penalty, and made a case so strong that the FIA decided to reverse the penalty, putting us in a great position to do our best and stay there during Quali Saturday.

You, the tifosi, should be thanking her for making this happen. Not tearing her apart for being defensive about a friend.

Proud to call you a friend, Lynn.

Thank you for putting up with Charles and supporting the team.

Esta es Lynnleigh. Ella apoya no sólo a mi compañera de equipo, a su novio, sino a todo el equipo. Y hoy ha recibido más odio por eso que el que he visto en el último mes.

Lynnleigh defendió al equipo cuando nos impusieron una penalización inmerecida y presentó un caso tan sólido que la FIA decidió revertir la penalización, colocándonos en una excelente posición para dar lo mejor de nosotros y permanecer allí durante la clasificación del sábado.

Ustedes, los tifosi, deberían agradecerle por hacer que esto sucediera. No destrozarla por ponerse a la defensiva con un amigo.

Orgulloso de llamarte amiga, Lynn.

Gracias por aguantar a Charles y apoyar al equipo.

lynleigh03 anything for a friend Car ❤️ happy the stewards came to the right decision

Respectfully, the tyre pressure penalty can rot in hell. I AM. KILLING PEOPLE (the fim race stewards)

[mailperson]

I still think DD2’s encouragement to push on to the end of a region even if heroes die is an odd thing to encourage when you’re GROSSLY outmatched and barely stand a chance unless your heroes die at the oblivion’s rampart/ingress battle at the very end of the region. It’s not very thought out to the fullest I feel like.

Replacing heroes at the end would be a fine feature that justifies it if you could realistically even reach the inn after a death, a little odd

Headache today and getting a bit annoyed about the skeleton staff we still got going on, so replies may be slow

You can recognize the failures leading to Oceangates sub disappearing, failures that were obvious for pretty much everyone involved, and hate rich people, capitalism, and the inevitable stupid shit ultra wealthy do when their wealth turns to boredom. You can recognize that that stupid shit is desecrating a cemetery - most Titanic research can and should be done without actually going to the wreck - and all of this was foreseeable by experts.

And Still feel horror at the people who have likely died horrifying deaths. Empathy and logic do not have to be mutually exclusive. Dumbasses - and a fucking kid - did dimb shit, indicative of a larger problem within capitalism that Must be addressed. But damn guys. Touch some fucking grass and interact with people.

The world isnt so damn black and white that we should feel Glee over an extremely painful death. Thats called torture.

MAX ENGINE PROBLEM???? MAX ENGINR PROBLEM??? +I PRAYED FOR THIS!!!!!!

[millstone-grit]

people often complain about their body as a flesh prison, but this implies the existance of other forms of punishment for your skeleton. I want to know the skeletal equivalent of a fine is, or community service, or points on their drivers lisence

[courteunuchofdelaware]

I don't give a shit about being the better person or recognizing my abusers humanity because they never bothered to recognize my own at my most vulnerable even when I was his literal child. I don’t think the state should be able to excute my father or my other rapist but there is no justice in the legal system and there is no hope of rehabilitating a fucking pedophile once they actually harm a child. I hope he feels an ounce of the suffering he put me through and the pain I still live with every day because of his actions. I recognize he is a human being but he is shit and needs to be put down like a dog. I will never get justice for what he did to me. I don't want him to have a happy ending or to do better. I hope he fucking dies and I get to watch. Don't you fucking dare talk for me and act like I'm a fucking fascist when I was put through the worst thing you can do for a child. I want to live in a world where I get the satisfaction that he's fucking dead and I outlived him. I want to take a shit on his fucking grave. If I could kill him myself and get away with it, I would. Hell isn't real but I wish it was so he could go there for what he did to me. I don't give a shit about anybody else but I hope my rapists die.

re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
