I’m well aware of it being a broader ideology, and it’s one I support and strive to adhere to. That being said, one’s diet can also be vegan.
Perhaps “cheating” was not the right word to use, but people can be quite complex. My conviction not to consume animal products occasionally loses out to other considerations. That doesn’t mean I consider myself to be a flexitarian.
I try to cut everyone, myself included, some slack. The “you’re not a true vegan if XYZ” does more harm than good in furthering the cause. When looking at vegan communities, this one included, I feel like we can achieve more if we cut down on the holier-than-thou attitude.
I’ve been in this position a fair few times. I tend to just eat it, even if there’s meat in there. Otherwise the food will just be thrown out and then my impact on the environment is even larger.
I suppose it does help that I only adhere to my vegan diet about 95% of the time. When I already occasionally cheat on my own account, it’s not as big of a deal when it happens on someone else’s account.
Usually I do complain about it, however. And/or leave it in a review. Mistakes happen, I’m usually more concerned by how they handle the mistake.
If it’s low deg, Piastri can go toe to toe with Norris. It’s tire management where Norris makes the difference compared to his teammate. Not sure if that would be a positive or negative for McLaren when fighting for a win…
He needs just one more win to beat Ascari’s record from 1952, which seemed all but impossible until recently. Absolute dominance.
I suppose it can be beneficial to have a reputation for being unyielding as well. Verstappen redefined the boundaries of what is permitted in F1, and Hamilton before him. Senna is famous for his “back out or crash” quote.
At a certain point, the people you’re racing will know how far you’re willing to go and you’ll force them to take evasive action. At that point it doesn’t really come across as boneheaded driving anymore.
Call me a cynic, but this also greatly reduces the bargaining power of the voice actor. If he’s not THE voice or Mario, it’s far easier to replace him than it was with Martinet.
He’s also on track to achieve the highest winning percentage in a season. That one will truly stand out.
This is a terrible take and I would’ve expected better from Martin Brundle. A sport can be challenging and entertaining without endangering athletes well-being to such a degree. If the choice is to either DNS/retire or push the driver beyond the limit, you’re always incentivising the worse choice.
Sure, F1 carries an inherent risk, but there’s no need to make it actively worse. Qatar is a terrible place to go racing and this weekend proved it. Everyone knows it, and the only reason there’s a grand prix there is money and sports washing.
I’m not a fan and think he’s generally a poor choice. But a short stint at a company two decades ago shouldn’t be an instant disqualification… The headline feels sensationalised.
Still incomprehensible Kaag wasn’t proposed, though. Or one of a bunch of other more suitable representatives.
