hi anon, thank you so much for letting me know! blocked her

if it hasn't occurred to you yet, every victim in that paddock just realized it won't do them any good to come forward. every victim was watching this, waiting to feel empowered to step forward as well or retreat further into the shadows and suffering alone, and they just got their answer. and every man in that godforsaken sexist cesspool of a paddock that's ever wanted to get handsy or make crude comments or worse just got the green light that nothing will happen if they do. shit like this never just impacts the victim of this specific instance.

Very important cultural poll

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

what i want you guys to understand is that when i say that every single driver wants to go to ferrari, i'm not being biased, arrogant or conceited. it's not that i want to be annoying and make it seem like i know more than everybody, i don't. it's that time and time again we see the story unfold of a driver who is well comfortable wherever he is and he still take the plunge once he gets the coveted offer.

sure, the team is a mess, as it has been for these past 16 years without a title, only a madman would take that. yes, but it's too tempting for a driver to imagine himself as the person who will finally bring an end to this. a formula 1 driver without delusion and ambition is as good as gone.

but the key word here at the end is "imagine". you have to understand, that if you take aside the numbers - 16 constructors' championship, 15 drivers' championship, 243 victories, 249 pole positions, 259 fastest laps, 9672 points and 1074 grand prix - ferrari were still there from day one, when the sport was a sport, creating the myth of the red car with it and renewing it throughout all this time. and as much as current mercedes and red bull teams are kicking ass, and as much as mclaren and williams have one day done so, they all had their moments of glory when f1 was already too connected to the glam, money and business side of things for the same sort of mystique to be formed about them in the imaginary of formula 1 supporters.

fundamentally, what i'm trying to say is: all the other teams operate in the concrete, while ferrari works in the realm of dreams. you just can't look at her in the same way.
