#the punishment certainly is

[eirianerisdar]

Here's why Daniel getting a three-place penalty for the next race is yet again evidence that the FIA need to review their regulations:

These are the regulations for overtaking under safety car:

The stewards were right in that Hulkenberg could pass both Lance and Daniel under safety car under Article 55.8 (h), because Lance had crashed into Daniel and they were both cars with obvious problems.

But, glaringly, there is nothing in the regs that state what happens if the car that was passed quickly gets back up to speed and tries to put themselves back into the correct order, which is what you usually do if you get out of order behind the safety car, whether because of pit exits or otherwise.

I'm not saying the stewards could have changed their verdict, but it's only on paper that Daniel had no leg to stand on, because logically, that was his spot and he was very quickly back on Hulk's tail after his wheels hit the ground again. Clearly this is yet another gap in the regs that should have been logically addressed because a situation like this would eventually come up.

It's a similar gap that "stopping on track during qualifying" needed clarification for, and last year, with the 20-place grid drop Carlos suffered for the drain cover that smashed through his car and necessitated changing its components.

Needless to say, a missed gap in the regs causing what would be a logical regaining of a spot to lead to a three-place grid penalty and 2 penatly points for a driver reflects rather more poorly on the FIA regs themselves than the driver who got punted then tried to put himself back where he should have been behind the safety car.

I keep trying to write another post occasioned by my digging through books on white Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian culture but it just sounds silly because I have to use the goofy-ass language they used to talk about it because that's how it was taught to me. Like if I type it out it sounds completely trivial and nonsense. I feel like, most people in the USA feel that they have a grip on this type of Christian Jargon because literally these people have been in some of the highest offices in the land for decades, and like, that's not untrue, but there's a) the way they talk now isn't the way they talked in the years I was growing up; there's been shift, b) I think it's true that many many many people outside this group do have some sense of it but there's still a lot of nuance I think is missing is you weren't raised in it, and c) the Evangelical/Fundamentalist movement is extremely fragmented and theologically diverse so what I grew up with many not apply to many other people. And I think that's one of the things that is alienating about it, and why I'm struggling to sort of shake some of the baggage, because I can't really talk about it! I could only talk about it and be understood with someone who was there. But I don't talk much to people who were there and certainly not about this.

okay bc like. seeing the pics of uhhh yk macklin in the hotel room and then people saying "get someone else to connor bedard right now" actually did make me very like. Agh about him. like. the fucking narratives man. he has wayyyyy too much on his shoulders. and now the direct parallels of him and mack with like 1st round pick who is still Happy even on a bad team + 1st round pick who is very visibly going through it and has no one to support him. and is getting blamed for all of his team's failure when no one is doing the same to mack (afaik anyway). like. oof man.

Okay, why in the hell in both resolutions of the questlines related to the ASSASSINS GUILD you have an ASSASSIN CHARACTER being like "You know what, by right I should kill you for what you did but I have something better in mind - public humiliation!" as if it anywhere on the same level? 💀

Anyways. Random Ghosts AU thought but. Bdubs, having been worshipped as a god in life. Probably thinking of himself as an aspect of the gods. Was uh. Probably expecting something different for his afterlife huh. Probably didn't feel very good to end up stuck as a ghost for like 12,000 years. Especially when so many of those were spent. Alone. Trapped on a relatively small parcel of land to spend your eternity on. Probably felt a bit like being abandoned by the god he dedication his life to huh

Something I think ought to be more readily-available and encouraged is simply... taking parental classes. I wish it were more common for people to realize just how hard - and important - parenting is, and indeed, that we all could use help with taking care of young folk. It's really alarming that popular opinion is still that parental classes are only for the "fuck-up" parents, or the parents who utterly failed. It should be seen as a good thing to take parental classes - especially on your own volition. It should be seen as imperative for one to take them, it should be a free, accurate, and scheduled occurrence so that people of any background are able to attend.

"They seem to have got a notion in their heads that you are... mad... or close on it."

I promise I didn't abandon you, Tumblr, I have just been busy since my semester started a week or so ago!

Anyway, I have been reading Crime & Punishment recently and have really enjoyed it thus far. If y'all didn't know this about me already, I am a big lit nerd with an even more active imagination for illustrations. I've also seen clips from the miniseries and I can't wait to watch that after I finish the book!

"Rafal didn't suffer consequences for his actions" he was in solitary for 1000 years? Like, the Winds came to main story Elyos right away and Nel was dead. He wasn't in confinement, but he presumably had to stay close to the Somniel or else carry Nel around with him to keep giving her energy to revive her. So that's basically 1000 years in solitary exile.

I mean, we can certainly debate how long that feels to a dragon, and whether that's enough of a consequence for killing a continent's worth of people (and with that, punitive justice vs restorative justice [not technically possible in this case though] vs prevention of further harm), but it's not like he wasn't punished at all.

That said, from the player perspective we don't get to see it happening, since we're over in the other dimension and Rafal doesn't talk much about it in any of his supports or other dialogue, so I can see how it would feel like he just said "sorry about killing everyone, are we good?"
