People talk about Max not wanting a competitive teammate but turns out Lewis made Toto promise to not sign Max -https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1064593/1/toto-wolffs-max-verstappen-promise-lewis-hamilton-revealed

No one wants a competitive teammate. There is no benefit to having someone as good or better than you in the same car. This “they push me harder” is a lie and it’s cope. If you need someone to push the best performance out of you you’re probably the type of person who is motivated by fear of not being good enough.

Max and Lewis are probably the two drivers I’d say genuinely believe there’s no one better than them. But it would still be a nuisance to have each other as teammates. For Lewis it would have been absolutely career killer to be next to someone so much younger because everyone would see Max as the one who would carry on after Lewis retires. Not to mention Max cares absolutely nothing for team games and has a pretty aggressive team of people around him. Even if lewis thinks he’d ultimately come out on top why would he want to invite that conflict into his “home”.

Max is probably not scared to lose to a teammate, more he’s comfortable in his environment and doesn’t want anyone rocking the boat. Who wants to come to work with some anxious little gremlin nipping at your heels, or someone with a pompous father complaining all the time, or an ageing champion making imperious demands.

Sacrificing your comfort to prove you can beat people you’ve already cooked is so counterintuitive. Idk why people lay that at Max’s door like he’s “scared” of good drivers. Man just wants a good work environment

one thing i need you all to realize is that you have to fight like hell for the marginalized people you don’t like. you have to fight for the cringey discourse queer and the misogynistic man of color and the transphobic cis woman and the politically conservative jew and the racist disabled person. you don’t have to like them or agree with them. but if you see them experiencing bigotry and you are a person who claims to be against bigotry, you are obligated to fight for them. you have to fight against bigotry, even if you don’t like the target of that bigotry, because as soon as you let yourself slip, as soon as you allow bigotry on your watch, even if it is directed at the shittiest person you’ve ever met, you’ve now established that in your personal ethos bigotry isn’t wrong, it’s a weapon. and as soon as you’re okay with bigotry being used as a weapon, you have already lost.

i know an engineer-type dude who said fiction bored him, because fiction is mostly-formulaic and tropey, and you can generally guess what’s gonna happen next, and yada yada

so his solution for this problem was… to solely read serial web novels in languages that (1) he did not speak, and (2) for which there was no actual translation, fan or otherwise

apparently, the combined forces of “trying to figure out WTF is going on via the power of Google Translate" + “cultural differences in storytelling conventions” + “the inherent randomness of where the hell amateur authors are gonna take their plots”—those all mashed up to make stories that were unpredictable enough to keep him guessing all the time

then he described to me this totally batshit-sounding Hungarian story he’d been obsessively reading once a week for years

and god i think about him all the time.  like.  that is the most wild way to process fiction that i have ever heard of, but also, i’ve gotta admire the sheer chaos energy of it
