Has anyone ever thought about veganism or vegetarianism? It comes into my mind more often these days because I'm less into killing things and eating meat as I used to be. And I have killed animals, not in a psychopathic way mind you, but for pest management on a farm. I can't say it really fills me with joy, and since I'm privileged to live in a society that can cater to nutrition without animal products, I feel more and more that I should. Habits and conditioning are hard to break, and my recipe repertoire for foods without animal products is lacking

'Gained a lot of popularity' doesn't really mean much there are nearly 400,000,000 Americans and if 1,000,000 watch F1 that is still barely a notch! There are nearly four Americans to each German and Australian! Of course they are the wrong people, the in-laws

Also I was talking about F1 to some people over the holidays, people old enough to remember Schumacher and nobody in the room knew of him. This is about ~10 Americans all over 30. It honestly shocked me, I'm no F1 fan but I have a latent knowledge of the sport due to it's popularity in Australia and I felt like Schumacher was at a level of fame that you just knew of him regardless of interest. That's how impressively culturally irrelevant the sport is in the USA, which is shocking to me given their enjoyment of other motorsports, you'd think there would be overlap.

Who are the good guys in the sport? and who are the villains?

Give these guys a ball and they'd be a rugby team

How does someone even end up in as a driver? Is it a rich kid's sport?

Do drivers ever do things like intentionally lose weight to reduce the car's load?

Very good post, thanks. I don't get F1 as a spectator sport but I do appreciate it's technical aspects and high stakes.

Then why do people put so much more glory on the drivers?

How much influence does the vehicle have in this sport? Are the huge discrepancies between vehicles or are they largely similar with minute details making the difference?

I was going over some news stories from my youth I had forgot about, Bali Bombings, Schappelle Corby, Bali 9, tell me why is Bali still so popular?

Some hate it but I love it when players have Blubbering sunflowers batting stances. I think it brings personality to the game, without it being stupid shit like sledging or having a sook

Burnsy let his hair down, that means he is getting serious

I know

I’m not too clued in on the Indian cricket team social hierarchy, so who would be next to be captain? Also, I have been meaning to ask someone more in the know of Indian culture, but is there still a latent ‘caste system’ in place with people having particular biases? would this affect the team selection?

The steps are all wrong because there is no profit just more ???

Stepped down or ‘had to step down’ is the question

Everywhere has the machines but the difference is that many places have them behind the counter for employee use only

Rory Burns is my favourite player

Always wondered where ‘Iran’ came from. Most Iranians you meet in the west prefer ‘Persian’ because I think they feel it distances them from the Ayatollah 70s revolution. Such an interesting country and people, such a shame it is hidden behind a totalitarian religious state. What interests me is the Zoroastrian revivalism linked with anti-nationalism nationalism haha

and a bunch fo other countries in my experience
