Well, it doesn't actually say it that way in the fine print! I just wanted to point that out, I guess. The way it's worded, it says those things are prohibited specifically regarding criminal offenses under the Penal Code. It really ought to say anything action that goes against the law. I am so sorry if there was a misunderstanding here! 🙂
@Daniel White9 - I'm talking about that specific quote from the rules that rustydrifter10 was quoting, which is what I was referencing in my previous post.
Things can always get worse. To me, the idea that a child should be happy because they only (yuck) get hit occasionally—just because things could be even worse elsewhere—is absolutely terrible. 😢
🤦 Well, yeah, that's true, I guess, but it isn't actually a crime under the Penal Code. I honestly don't quite get why that part seems so hard for people to wrap their heads around!
rustydrifter10 said:Oh, yes they have; there are honestly so many posts floating around here that promote corporal punishment for kids.
Alex Barnes8 just came in to troll and provoke the thread. She was being insulted, so she insulted them back, and she only ended up getting a card after she ignored a warning from the mods. It's the same old story, and that's really not what we're talking about here.
Before the moderators stepped in, the topic we're discussing was nowhere near that state.
Feminism and pie—that's just their own little internal joke, and honestly, that's perfectly fine by me.
That’s true, I guess, but strictly speaking, corporal punishment isn't actually a crime itself. The rules say it's forbidden to justify or glorify criminal acts, but a crime is only what's specifically defined under the Penal Code.
It seems like a bit of an oversight by the admins, but hey, since we're already nitpicking, we might as well go all the way, right? 😁
rustydrifter10 said:Look, you just can't go around encouraging or glorifying actions that are straight-up illegal under our laws, especially when it comes to... well, everything else we were discussing. It’s just not right. When we're talking about the core rules of the game, everything really starts to click into place. foruma piše:
Just a quick heads-up for everyone joining us here on the forum: we have some ground rules to keep this community running smoothly. To keep things civil and enjoyable for everyone, please keep the following prohibitions in mind:
Just a heads-up for everyone: please make sure you aren't breaking any U.S. laws here. We’re specifically looking out for things like hate speech, discrimination, or anyone trying to justify or glorify criminal acts. We also have a zero-tolerance policy regarding copyright infringement, child exploitation, animal cruelty, and anything else illegal. Let's keep this community safe and respectful!
Look, there’s a massive difference between just having a debate and actually crossing the line. It's one thing to sit down and hash out your personal opinions—to say, "Hey, in my book, this is wrong" or "I personally find this unacceptable." That's what healthy discussion is all about. But once you start talking about things that are strictly illegal under U.S. law? Well, then you can't use this forum to encourage those actions or try to glorify them. There's a very clear distinction between sharing a viewpoint and inciting criminal behavior, and we need to respect that boundary.
But honestly, I don't think anything was actually done here that breaks that specific rule. 🤷 I haven't broken any laws, I'm certainly not inciting hate or discrimination, and I'm definitely not justifying or praising any crimes or anything like that. 😕
I think we really need to learn how to tell the difference between an actual criminal offense and just something that happens to be prohibited by law.
I mean, you really shouldn't call him a midget because, honestly, he just isn't one. Usually, people use that term for folks under 4'11", and he definitely clears that bar, so calling him that is basically just asking for trouble with FC Barcelona fans, which feels like total trolling to me.
And besides, who knows, there might be some guy hanging out on the Forum right now who’s actually shorter than Leo, but he isn't a midget either. So, I guess your post could end up being pretty offensive to someone like that too, you know?
Because, you know, the whole point of a forum isn't really meant to be about that, it's actually for sharing our own personal perspectives! And honestly, if you want to have a real exchange of ideas, well, you actually need some actual ideas to talk about, right? There aren't any in those links, I guess.
When I mentioned Adrian Newey, I was really thinking about the entire Red Bull Racing setup. I mean, Sebastian Vettel’s contribution there is just massive, isn't it? Not just because of how he drives, but also because of all that technical feedback he gives the engineers while working right alongside Adrian Newey. Honestly, if you put Vettel and Fernando Alonso in the same car, I don't even know who I'd put my money on!
As for this whole dominance thing, I'm just not a fan of it, not even when it's Ferrari. It would be so much better if everyone was actually competitive, you know? It sucks when teams get put in a spot where the championship is basically decided by the 6th, 7th, or 8th race of the season. I really think it might be ideal if they let teams do more testing during the season again, just so everyone can stay in the fight and actually compete at their absolute best until the very end.
Brian Campbell36 said:For two consecutive seasons now, we have heard nothing but talk of Ferrari preparing for a massive breakthrough, with claims that they will finally be ready by next year. The word is they intend to mimic the Red Bull design philosophy by lowering the front wing closer to the ground, along with several other technical innovations. One can only hope that this third attempt won't result in yet another disaster; surely, it is high time for Ferrari to reclaim its place at the summit. Yet, the apprehension remains: no matter how much preparation Ferrari puts into the upcoming season, is there not a persistent risk that McLaren and Red Bull will simply push even further ahead, just as they did this year, and leave us in their wake? It feels fundamentally unjust when Red Bull possesses the most brilliant engineer in the sport today...🙂
Oh, sure! It’s always the same story—just when they think they’ve finally gained an edge on everyone else, Newey shows up and somehow manages to pull ahead by two full steps. And honestly, it just seems to happen season after season (okay, maybe not *that* many years, but it definitely feels like 😁 to me)
But hey, what can you do? I find myself hoping for a miracle next season just as much as I hope my favorite baseball team won't blow a lead in the bottom of the ninth during the playoffs, though we all know how that usually goes... nothing ever changes. 😬
Since we’re already calling out the admins here, I’ve got a quick question for them. Why on earth am I still seeing what look like deleted threads? Exhibit A: Okay, so look, there's a bigger picture to this situation here... All I'm seeing is a link to the thread, but whenever I try to actually click through and read it, nothing happens.
stormybadger8 said:I’m honestly worried they'll call the race after just three drops of rain. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that there's zero chance they'll allow a night race if it starts pouring, mostly because of the light reflections and all that nonsense.🙄
I've got a bad feeling we're getting absolutely nothing out of that.
I had no idea! 😁
Brian Campbell36 said:Is it actually realistic to expect Alonso to stand on the podium in Singapore, or are we all just indulging in the collective wishful thinking of Ferrari fans? If they run with those overly hard tire compounds again, I fear everything will just fall apart for Alonso; at that point, his only hope might be seeing a McLaren or a Red Bull "crash into a wall." 🙂
Even though Alonso is definitely one of my absolute favorite drivers, I really have my doubts about this one, unless something totally wild happens. I guess I'm putting all my hopes into next season instead...
Oh, I don't think we're looking at much rain at all, maybe not even a proper downpour, just a tiny bit, you know, just enough to dampen the track a little bit. Just enough for Mr. 🙂 to decide that racing is actually a go!
I’m really crossing my fingers that we see some kind of new Pique emerge, though I guess I’m probably hoping for it more than actually expecting it 😬 , and honestly, I think the rain could turn out to be such an incredibly wild card for this night race 😁
Michael Lee4 said:Well, obviously... I mean, it’s definitely not the first time they've pulled something like this, and honestly, it feels like everything they do lately is just a desperate attempt to stop viewership from tanking. ☕
I guess they really could have just pulled this move right at the start of the season instead of waiting until now, doduše.
It almost seems like things went totally sideways for Red Bull unexpectedly, and now they're just scrambling to save whatever they can possibly salvage. 😁
@Joshua Doyle11/">@@Joshua Doyle11 I don't know if there's really a massive conspiracy theory going on here, but I definitely agree that something just feels fundamentally off.
I mean, what they’re doing here is just kind of silly, isn't it? I guess they’re probably just trying to make the races a bit more exciting for everyone, maybe? 🤷
I mean, honestly, there are times when I think he’s absolutely incredible, but then there are those other moments where he just totally lets me down... so I guess I’m still stuck right in the middle, just not really knowing what to make of him yet! 🤷
I mean, I hear you, but it feels like we’re pretty much in the same ballpark there. 🤔 Honestly, I don't think I've ever even scrolled past a single thread where someone with over 30k posts on Reddit was actually complaining about their post count disappearing...
So, I’m feeling a little bit lazy about heading down to the local Gold's Gym, and honestly, my schedule is just such a mess lately that I don't think I can squeeze in a full workout session anyway, so I’ve been leaning way more toward bodyweight exercises instead! I was wondering if anyone could maybe give me some advice on which specific moves I should be doing—and like, what kind of ratio or balance I should aim for—to make sure I’m actually hitting my whole body, or at least most of it? I mean, I used to do things like push-ups, pull-ups, or maybe some sit-ups here and there, but I never really did them all together in one go, so I guess I never really saw much progress other than just building up a bit of endurance, you know? Help me out 😁
So, I was scrolling through some news on CNN a couple of days ago—I can't quite find the specific article now, which is super annoying—but I think I read somewhere that some guy actually predicted every single game correctly during the Euro 2008 tournament, except for that one match between America and Germany.
