It sounds bad to say that we luckily never found out, but oh well. I find it easier to maintain some respect for famous people (intellectuals and retarded actors alike) who died before 2016 simply because I never had to be disappointed in their dumbass takes on current year things.
I love The Sopranos but I've been very wary of this since i first heard about it. I generally don't like when they try to restart things after a long time (I know it's a prequel, but still), it just never feels the same. Plus pretty much by default every movie and TV show made in current year sucks, so that doesn't help its case.
I guess I'll get around to seeing it eventually.
That's my attitude now. I spent the last year putting on the stupid thing to appease people, but no more. Anywhere that requires it now just doesn't get my patronage. Funnily enough for me it's been restaurants who are the most stupid about it - places where you'll spend 99% of your time NOT wearing it once you've gotten in the door. So dumb.
Everyone in this thread who can't be bothered to look this up: Yes, they switched to a black livery last year specifically for racial reasons. This is most certainly a continuation of that.
They're listed as an official Merc sponsor here: https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-mercedes-f1s-sponsors-for-the-2021-formula-one-season/
Lmao, thank god I stopped caring about F1 after 2017. I tried to just ignore Hamilton's bullshit and respect him as a talented driver, but it all became too much. After seeing how nutty F1 as a whole and Mercedes in particular went with the BLM stuff, I feel like I haven't missed much.
Whoa whoa let's not give them any more ideas. In all seriousness, I could definitely see the farmer's market thing happening for real, sadly. There is a hugely popular one near where I live. All it would take is a 'muh covid' push to shut them down.
I hadn't even considered this before, but now that I've read it I'm somehow not surprised. As far as it becoming a requirement to remain in the corporate world - I'll dig ditches before I adhere to that shit... gotta draw the line somewhere.
Really I'm surprised I haven't seen the beginnings of this at my own workplace, but we use a standard signature people can't set themselves, so it would have to be all or nothing.
Elon Musk can get fucked. He's a stooge of China.

They have no place in France. They'll never be French (not that they really want to be). Ideally they would return to where they came from, but we know that will never happen, and France will never kick them out, so things will only get worse. The end.
Who has from the current grid has resisted it? I haven't followed F1 at all this year so I'm not up on this stuff. Props to them I guess.
Regarding Hamilton - I tried to ignore his antics in the past and just respect him for being a really good driver, but in the past couple years he's just become insufferable. I was sure once all this BLM stuff kicked into high gear he would be all over it.
What a shitshow. I fully expected all this to happen but it's still really disappointing. Please crash and burn.
