Taken from:
https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/5/21/24161120/greatest-movie-car-chase-scenes-ranked-furiosa-mad-max-saga In honor of the imminent ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ we’re shifting into high gear to determine the best chase scene in cinema history

After wowing audiences with
Mad Max: Fury Road, director George Miller returns to the franchise’s post-apocalyptic wastelands for
Furiosa, the epic origin story of the eponymous heroine (now played by Anya Taylor-Joy), premiering on Friday. As the follow-up to one of the greatest action films ever made, it’s hard to overstate the hype for
Furiosa, and that was
before word got out about a showstopping
15-minute sequence that required nearly 200 stuntpeople and took 78 days to shoot. While
Furiosa will have its own distinct flavor, as is true of every
Mad Max movie, there’s one thing that unites these projects: intense, jaw-dropping scenes of vehicular mayhem. And what better way to honor the franchise than by celebrating what it does best?
Ahead of
Furiosa’s release, we’ve put together our definitive ranking of the best car chases in cinema. There weren’t any strict rules in place, other than capping the list at 20—mostly for my own sanity—and limiting every franchise to one entry. (Apologies to
Fury Road’s kickass predecessor
The Road Warrior.) We also won’t discriminate against scenes that feature motorbikes, so long as cars (and/or trucks) remain part of the equation. As for what, exactly, constitutes a good car chase? Like list making, it’s bound to be subjective, but I tend to gravitate toward two key elements: the skill of the stuntwork on display and the ways in which a filmmaker conveys the action in relation to the story. (Also, the less CGI, the better.) Buckle up, ’cause we’re not wasting any time shifting into high gear.
20. Quantum of Solace (2008)
There have been some memorable car chases in the
James Bond franchise: the
first sequence featuring the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in
Goldfinger, the
corkscrew jump in
The Man With the Golden Gun, the
Lotus Esprit submarine in
The Spy Who Loved Me. But I’m going with a somewhat controversial pick here:
Quantum of Solace. There are many issues with
Quantum of Solace—namely, it was one of the most high-profile blockbusters
affected by the 2007-08 writers strike—but its opening scene isn’t one of them. Picking up right where
Casino Royale left off, we find Bond (Daniel Craig) evading henchmen through the narrow roads around Italy’s Lake Garda. The frenetic, furious chase mirrors Bond’s sense of anguish after losing Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), the woman he opened his heart to, and his relentless quest for answers. It’s a thrilling tone-setter for
Quantum of Solace and one that doesn’t overstay its welcome, capped off by Bond sending his final pursuers flying off a cliff:
If we’re being honest, though, it feels like
James Bond has yet to create a franchise-defining car chase. Perhaps that’s a mission the newest 007, whoever it ends up being, can undertake.
19. Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation (2015)
The
Mission: Impossible franchise is no stranger to electrifying chase scenes, the best of which find
Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt working up his heart rate. When it comes to action behind the wheel, though,
Fallout tends to dominate the discussion—even on this
very website. But I think the vehicular chase in
Rogue Nation is being slept on. What we have is effectively two sequences for the price of one: The first finds Hunt pursuing Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) by car through the narrow streets of Casablanca alongside some nefarious henchmen; the second sees him continue the chase outside the city on motorbike. (Adding to the chaos: Hunt had only just been resuscitated, and he’s clearly not all there.) In terms of death-defying stunts for the audience’s entertainment, a helmetless Cruise taking corners like a MotoGP racer is child’s play compared to his other exploits, but the actor’s authentic reaction to scraping his knee on the road underlines that there’s no one else in Hollywood doing it like him:
We’ll be sure to update this ranking if and when Cruise does something even more dangerous down the road, pun unintended.
18. Vanishing Point (1971)
A movie that counts the likes of Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino among its biggest fans,
Vanishing Point is the first of a few entries on this ranking that’s essentially one extended car chase. The film stars Barry Newman as Kowalski, a man tasked with delivering a Dodge Challenger T 440 Magnum from Colorado to California while eluding police across four states. One of Kowalski’s most memorable run-ins comes when a guy driving a Jaguar E-Type convertible challenges him to an impromptu race. Incredibly, we’re expected to believe the man in the Jag comes out of
this crash in one piece:
Vanishing Point might not boast the impressive production values of other movies on this list, but considering Tarantino would go on to feature a white Challenger in
Death Proof, its influence in the car cinema canon is undeniable.
17. Fast Five (2011)
Let’s face it,
Fast & Furious has seen better days. Some believe the franchise’s dip in quality coincided with the death of Paul Walker; others are dismayed by the pivot from street racing to absurd feats of superherodom—emphasis on the Dom. Perhaps it’s a bit of both, but the very best movie in the series,
Fast Five, manages to strike the perfect balance: It’s a relatively grounded heist thriller that nevertheless takes the franchise to ridiculous new heights. After Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew steal $100 million from a Brazilian kingpin, they drag the entire bank vault holding the money through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, all while being pursued by authorities. It’s a delightfully destructive sequence that does untold damage to Rio’s infrastructure and features some of the most bone-crunching crashes committed to film:
If the
Fast franchise is going to break out of its recent slump, it would do well to remember that there’s nothing better than letting its heroes live their lives a quarter mile at a time—no
detours to outer space required.
16. The Blues Brothers (1980)
A good car chase isn’t reserved just for action flicks: Comedies can get in on the act, too. In
The Blues Brothers, starring the recurring
Saturday Night Live characters played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the beloved bandmates must prevent the foreclosure of the orphanage where they were raised by scrounging together $5,000. Naturally, that’s easier said than done: Along the way, the Blues Brothers draw the attention of neo-Nazis, a country-and-western band, and local police. While
The Blues Brothers has amusing gags and musical numbers, its chase sequences with the Brothers behind the wheel of a 1974 Dodge Monaco are what really steal the show—and none are better than a climactic pursuit across Chicago. More than
60 old police cars were used in the film, some of which are wrecked in a comically over-the-top pileup:
The sheer scale of
The Blues Brothers’ final set piece is commendable in and of itself—as is the movie’s commitment to treating real-life cars like a bunch of Hot Wheels.
15. Baby Driver (2017)
For good and for ill, Edgar Wright’s movies exude an abundance of style, and
Baby Driver is no exception.
Baby Driver is centered on a clever gimmick: The action works in tandem with its soundtrack because the film’s protagonist, Baby (Ansel Elgort), suffers from tinnitus and constantly plays music to drown out the ringing. When everything’s clicking into place,
Baby Driver feels like a supersized series of music videos, and nothing hits quite like its opening sequence. Baby acts as the getaway driver for a bank robbery while listening to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Bellbottoms.” The ensuing chase works around rhythms of the song, as if Baby’s
Subaru WRX were the star of its own dance number. Take nothing away from the actual driving, either, which puts the rally car to good use:
Baby Driver’s gimmick stretches a little thin by the end, but it’s hard to deny the crowd-pleasing power of Wright’s film when it’s firing on all cylinders.
14. The Raid 2 (2014)
With a trio of kickass Indonesian martial arts films under his belt, Gareth Evans has established himself as one of the most exciting action directors on the planet—someone who seems most in his element staging positively brutal hand-to-hand combat. In
The Raid 2, however, Evans also brought his signature brand of carnage to the road. While there’s some cleverly executed close-quarters fighting within the confines of an SUV, courtesy of Iko Uwais’s hard-hitting protagonist, what really cements this sequence’s greatness are the moments when Evans turns the cars into an extension of the characters’ fists:
This belongs in an entirely new category of combat: car fights. There are so many action scenes in
The Raid 2 worth writing home about—the
kitchen showdown is an all-timer—but the fact that Evans casually tossed in an unforgettable car chase shows why he’s one of one.
13. The Driver (1978)
I’ll say this for Walter Hill’s
The Driver: It sure lives up to its title. In this stripped-down thriller—one where none of the characters have a name—we follow the Driver (Ryan O’Neal), a getaway driver who has become a thorn in the side of the LAPD. In the film’s best scene, we see its taciturn protagonist living up to his reputation. With the Driver behind the wheel of a 1974 Ford Galaxie, a cat-and-mouse game unfolds when a handful of police cars are hot on his tail. What I love about this sequence is the pared-down nature of it all: The Driver outwits the cops as much as he outraces them. (Though, ironically, that wasn’t entirely by design: As
Hill later explained, an accident on the last night of shooting meant they had to cobble together what had already been filmed.) Frankly, you’d never know the difference from the finished article:
If the general vibes of
The Driver seem familiar, that’s because it was a major inspiration for
Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, which just so happened to feature an unnamed protagonist (Ryan Gosling)
evading police through the streets of Los Angeles.
12. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
The shaky-cam style of the
Bourne franchise isn’t for everyone—just ask
John Woo—but credit where it’s due: These movies know how to deliver a good chase scene. (A friendly reminder that
The Bourne Legacy is an underrated gem with an
awesome motorbike sequence to boot.) But there’s one
Bourne chase that stands above the rest: the Moscow getaway in
The Bourne Supremacy. After being wounded by the Russian assassin Kirill (Karl Urban), Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) hijacks a taxi, with both the police and Kirill in hot pursuit. This isn’t the kind of sequence that lingers on any one shot; instead, what makes it work is the frenetic nature of the editing, which allows the viewer to feel like they’re in Bourne’s fight-or-flight headspace:
If I’m being honest, I’m usually one of those people who doesn’t like the Bourne movies’ shaky-cam style, but when it’s executed with such craftsmanship, you can’t help but get caught up in its adrenaline-pumping power.
11. The Seven-Ups (1973)
Philip D’Antoni was the producer of two movies featuring Hall of Fame car chases,
Bullitt and
The French Connection, the latter of which won him an Oscar for Best Picture. And with his lone directorial feature,
The Seven-Ups, D’Antoni sought to craft an iconic sequence of his own. The film stars Roy Scheider as NYPD detective Buddy Mannuci (
elite Italian American name; I can practically smell the gabagool), who commands a unit handling major felony cases that lead to seven-plus-year prison sentences; that’s why they’re known as the Seven-Ups. Midway through the movie, when one of the team members is killed by two shooters who flee the scene, Buddy chases after them. The 10-minute sequence, which starts in the Upper West Side before moving out of the city, is thrillingly immersive, alternating between close-ups of the characters and wider shots of all the damage they’ve caused. But the chase’s defining moment comes right at the end, when Buddy narrowly avoids a grisly death:
The sequence isn’t
quite at the level of
Bullitt or
The French Connection—very few are—but D’Antoni still manages to leave an unmistakable imprint on the car chase canon.
10. Death Proof (2007)
If you ask Quentin Tarantino,
Death Proof, his knowingly trashy tribute to exploitation cinema, is the
worst movie he’s ever made. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to admire about the film, which honors the unsung heroes of Hollywood: stunt performers. The first half of
Death Proof follows three female friends who cross paths with Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a misogynistic serial killer who takes them out in his “death-proof” Chevy Nova. Fourteen months later, a group that includes stuntwoman Zoë Bell, playing herself, also lands on Mike’s radar. As Bell and her friends test out a ’70s Challenger, she performs a “ship’s mast” stunt, clinging onto the hood of the car with fastening belts. Unfortunately, when Mike pursues the women, it puts Bell in a precarious situation. Most of the entries on this list celebrate some next-level driving skills, but
Death Proof’s inclusion is all about Bell pulling off one of the wildest stunts you’ll ever see. She’s quite literally hanging on for dear life:
If the Academy handed out
Oscars to stunt performers—and let’s hope it does happen one day—Bell would’ve won in a landslide.
9. To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
William Friedkin was already responsible for an all-time great car chase in
The French Connection (more on that later), but the filmmaker made a commendable bid to outdo himself with
To Live and Die in L.A. In this neo-noir thriller, Secret Service agent Richard Chance (William L. Petersen) is hell-bent on arresting an expert counterfeiter, Rick Masters (Willem Dafoe), who kills Chance’s partner days before his retirement. To capture Masters, Chance and his new partner, John Vukovich (John Pankow), attempt to steal $50,000 from a jewelry buyer for an undercover operation. The sting goes bad when the buyer, who is later revealed to be an undercover FBI agent, is killed and a group of gunmen goes after Chance and Vukovich. It’s a clever inversion of the usual car chase formula—this time, it’s the lawmen running away from the criminals. The outside-the-box thinking extends to the film’s most astonishing stretch, in which Chance evades the gunmen by
driving into oncoming traffic:
The fact that
Friedkin shot the chase at the end of filming—in case anything disastrous happened to the actors—underscores just how risky the endeavor was. The pulse-pounding results speak for themselves.
8. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
The
Matrix sequels have never been held in high esteem, but I’m ready to live my truth:
The Matrix Reloaded fucking rules. (If anyone’s got a problem with this take, file your complaints with the Architect.) What’s more, the film happens to boast the finest action set piece of the franchise: the highway chase. After Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) free the Keymaker (Randall Duk Kim), a program capable of creating shortcuts within the Matrix, they’re pursued by
the Twins (Neil and Adrian Rayment). Morpheus once warned that going on the freeway was “suicide,” and it doesn’t take long to see why: The chase draws the attention of several Agents, who repeatedly take over the bodies of other drivers on the road. The scene is the best of both worlds: There’s some incredible stuntwork on display, including when Moss weaves around on a Ducati, and CGI augments some feats of superhuman strength. But the most jaw-dropping aspect of the sequence is how it came together, as the production spent
$2.5 million to construct its own highway (!) on California’s Alameda Island. If that weren’t unique enough, I’m pretty sure
Reloaded is also the only movie in existence in which a katana takes out an SUV:
The Matrix remains the Wachowskis’ masterpiece, but don’t get it twisted: The filmmakers were still cooking with gas in the sequel.
7. Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
Size isn’t everything, but for H. B. Halicki, who produced, wrote, directed, and starred in
Gone in 60 Seconds, it’s certainly part of the package. The indie action flick follows Maindrian Pace (Halicki), a Los Angeles insurance investigator who has a lucrative side hustle jacking high-end cars. The plot kicks into motion when a South American drug lord enlists Pace to nab 48 cars within five days in exchange for $400,000. Of course,
Gone in 60 Seconds is best known for what happens after Pace is caught stealing a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1, when he leads police on a chase that lasts a whopping 40 minutes. (More than 90 cars were destroyed in the process.) Halicki, for his part, did all the driving himself, including a spectacular jump off a makeshift ramp of crashed cars:
While Halicki wound up making a few more indies after
Gone in 60 Seconds, he
died in an accident on the set of its sequel. His legacy as a do-it-all daredevil, however, lives on.
6. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Long before James Cameron immersed himself in the world of Pandora, he was a pioneer of state-of-the-art visual effects. Case in point:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is credited for having the
first CGI character in a blockbuster, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a killing machine composed of a futuristic liquid metal. But Cameron also understood that the CGI of that era shouldn’t be the main attraction: It worked best as a complement to the practical effects, as seen in
Judgment Day’s epic viaduct chase. When the T-1000 tracks down a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) in a shopping mall, he’s saved at the last minute by the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), giving John a chance to escape on his dirt bike. As the T-1000 gives chase, the David and Goliath vibes between man and machine are further epitomized by the T-1000’s commandeering of a truck. The sequence already has a terrifying sense of urgency, but it hits another level when the T-1000 crashes through the viaduct like the Kool-Aid Man:
Big Jim is still revolutionizing what can be achieved with visual effects in the
Avatar franchise, and while I cherish those movies, nothing beats his old-school showmanship.
5. Duel (1971)
The feature-length debut of Steven Spielberg—perhaps you’ve heard of him—the TV movie
Duel is essentially one extended chase sequence between salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) and a sinister trucker determined to drive him off the road. I’ve attached a clip from the ending of the film, but that doesn’t do
Duel justice. What cements this movie’s greatness is how it sustains an unbearable level of tension across its 90-minute running time—with a budget under $500,000, no less. Spielberg’s masterstroke is never once showing us the other driver, anthropomorphizing the truck itself as a monster. (You can see a lot of similarities with how he would build suspense in
Jaws.) When Mann finally gets the upper hand, tricking his adversary into driving off a cliff, it feels like you can breathe again:
Spielberg would move on to bigger and better things after
Duel, but considering how much the director accomplished with so little, you can’t help but wonder what else he could conjure up with limited resources.
4. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Like
Duel,
Fury Road is basically one long car chase—the difference is Miller got to work with a blockbuster budget, and made every cent of it count. It’s hard to pick a single standout sequence in
Fury Road, but if I had to choose, I’d go with the first attack on the War Rig after Furiosa (Charlize Theron) flees with the wives of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Here’s why: Think back to when you saw
Fury Road for the first time, before you fully grasped the vehicular carnage that was in store. And then stuff like
this kept happening:
To quote
Steven Soderbergh’s thoughts on
Fury Road: “I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.” Whether or not Miller manages to one-up the action in
Furiosa, the director is already in the pantheon.
3. The French Connection (1971)
We return to the Friedkin-verse for what may be his best film,
The French Connection, the crime thriller based on Robin Moore’s 1969 nonfiction book of the same name. The story concerns two NYPD detectives, Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy “Cloudy” Russo (Roy Scheider), and their tireless pursuit of a French heroin smuggler. But while there’s plenty to admire about how
The French Connection illustrates the thin line between police and criminals, its greatest claim to fame is its car chase. After Popeye narrowly survives a sniper attack, he goes after the shooter, who escapes on an elevated train. The ensuing sequence is true daredevil filmmaking that
Friedkin shot without permits, leading to real crashes with New Yorkers that made the final cut. But Friedkin’s finest touch was mounting a camera to the front of the car, making the audience feel like they’re part of the action:
My
Ringer colleague Justin Sayles believes
The French Connection’s chase should’ve landed at no. 1, and I’m sure many folks will agree with him. Being the only film on this list to win Best Picture, however, is a solid consolation prize.
2. Bullitt (1968)
When it comes to modern car chases, all roads lead back to
Bullitt. A Dad Cinema classic, the film stars Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco detective who pursues a group of mobsters after a key witness is killed in protective custody. In his search for answers, Bullitt realizes he’s being tailed by a couple of hitmen, and then turns the tables on them. From there, the chase is on. Aside from McQueen doing most of his own stunts behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback, what’s so impressive about the sequence is how timeless it is. Even the little imperfections, like hubcaps repeatedly coming off the wheels, work to the film’s advantage, stressing just how much these drivers are living on a razor’s edge. It’s been more than 50 years since
Bullitt revolutionized the car chase, and yet few movies since have felt like they’re pushing the envelope to such an exhilarating degree:
That the car driven by McQueen was recently
sold at auction for $3.74 million, a then-record price for a Mustang, underlines
Bullitt’s enduring legacy.
1. Ronin (1998)
“If I’m going to do a car chase,” filmmaker John Frankenheimer said in an
interview with the American Society of Cinematographers, “I’m going to do a car chase that’s going to make somebody think about whether or not they want to do another one!” Boy, did he ever. In Frankenheimer’s late-career masterpiece,
Ronin, the director actually incorporated
several chases, but it’s the climactic sequence that stands alone as the greatest ever filmed. The movie concerns an international group of mercenaries who are hired to steal a mysterious briefcase; a series of double-crosses and double-bluffs ensue. But for the final chase, all you need to know is that Sam (Robert De Niro), a mercenary with ties to the CIA, is in pursuit of Deirdre (Natascha McElhone), an IRA operative in possession of the case. Winding through the streets and tunnels of Paris, what’s most striking is just how fluid it all feels. You’re completely engrossed in the chase’s forward momentum, captured from every conceivable angle; a symphony of controlled chaos. The driving styles even reflect the characters: Deirdre is reckless and impulsive, while Sam remains calm and controlled.
There are many worthy car chases in this ranking, but in my view,
Ronin takes pole position. And while I can’t imagine a movie ever topping what Frankenheimer achieved, I’d love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

2024.05.21 15:55 Luck9599 Additions to future F1 games (*long post alert*)
Hello everyone
With F1 24 being announced and being copy and paste again (basically just an F1 23 DLC at this point), I thought I'd write this post to maybe, just maybe, help (in any way) the next future F1 games become more realistic, which I think should be the main goal of these games (and also to express my deep disapointment with how the series is going).
Before we begin: this is completely based on my opinion, you don't need to agree with me, specially because I know some stuff may be considered completely delusional, as EA would never implement these things. With that out of the way, it's light out and away we go.
Here are additions/ideas that would turn the F1 game into an incredible experience:
- Cooldown lap and pit lane control: they're kinda the same thing (to an extent) so that's why it's just one topic. It would be very fun to actually drive in the cooldown lap and park the car in the pits, as well as drive the car through the pit lane as we make our stops or serve penalties. It's not something hard to implement, and you could also make it with the option to turn them off, so everyone gets to play the way they want. It would also add realism with stuff such as unsafe release penalties.
- Custom liveries: I cannot stress this enough. Why not let players customize their own liveries and share with the community? This would add a whole new layer to customization and replayability, as we already have in Need for Speed (which is also from EA) and Gran turismo for example. Not hard to do but given the game's history I guess we're not getting this one so soon.
- Preseason testing: this would be very interesting. It could be something like free practice, but bigger. It would help the R&D development before the season actually started, so you could (or not) have a better car. It would also be optional in the career settings.
- Contracts: they do need an overhaul as soon as possible. Driver academies don't actually mean anything. You can literally be a Ferrari academy driver and join Red Bull from the get go, it doesn't make any sense. We need something like IRL, where a team would preferably sign a driver from its own academy. Also there is no performance measurement, it says that "Red Bull expect their drivers to fight for the podium", but even if you don't do this, you can't be fired. I won't even start on the 6 month contract period. Also as a member of a certain team driver academy, it would be very fun to participate in F1 sessions when in F2, to get experience and also boost your image (acclaim, as it's called).
- Custom calendar: another element of replayability and creativity. Let us make a season with many races as we want, in any track order we'd like. A season starting in Abu Dhabi and ending in Australia, for example, would be very fun. It adds variety to the game and makes it so players can keep enjoying career and MyTeam modes without get bored with the same format.
- New tracks: Sepang, Hockenheim, Jerez, India, Korea, Istambul Park... the list goes on. New tracks (not actually new, but you get the idea), combined with custom calendar would make for infinite possibilities in both career and MyTeam. EA can even add them as a DLC post launch if they want to. Another brilliant addition concerning tracks would be different layouts, such as Sakhir outer ring, or even different versions for the tracks as an option, such as pre 2003 Barcelona, for example.
- MyTeam car model: the car model stays the same for all 10 seasons of your MyTeam journey, without a single modification. As the seasons go on, your car gets progressively faster, but it LOOKS exactly the same. R&D improvements don't reflect in the car model at all. It would be nice to have a customizable car, where you can actually change the design to improve aero or brake cooling. IRL we had teams looking to reproduce what Red Bull made with the RB19, and that is a great example of how things could be in game: as the regulations change, different models become better than others, and as you progress with R&D, your car can get closer to what would be the fastest aero design. Minor cosmetic things like different steering wheel models would also be very nice.
- Improved AI: we know that we need better AI behaviour when racing and fighting for position, but the problem goes way beyond that. The AI makes ZERO mistakes in free practice and qualifying, so you can never experience events such as IRL when someone crashes in qualifying and a red flag can decide an unlikely pole sitter. There is also a very old problem that needs to be addressed: the AI doesn't know how to behave in practice when you want to let it overtake you. It just sits there by your side until you decide to go and then follows you. There are no penalties for blocking/impeding in both practice and qualifying.
- MyTeam engine owner: I've seen many people asking for this one and I agree, it would be very fun to have our own engine and be able to supply it to other teams. At the beginning it would be inferior to other engines, but with the possibility of becoming the best later on. We would also be able to supply our engine to other teams and make more money out of that partnership.
- Regulation changes and loopholes: regulation changes (and R&D as a whole) should be more complex than just redeveloping some parts (also because eventually you have so much points that it doesn't even matter anymore). Also loopholes would be an interesting addition, like the DAS system or the F duct (not these exact mechanics, but something like that). They could work as a new development that is so OP that FIA needs to judge whether it's legal or not and whether it will be banned immeadiately or in next season. Any team can develop a loophole, including the AI.
- Crashes: remember when Williams gave Sargeant's car to Albon and he was unable to race? Well this is an extreme example but what if we had something similar in the game? If you crash the car (not minor wall taps, I mean big shunts) the team should take time to fix it and in some cases you may not have the car completely fixed for qualifying, for example (if you happen to crash in FP3). Also big crashes could cause the driver to step away due to injuries and let the reserve driver take his place (this also means that you can now hire a reserve driver in MyTeam).
- Interviews: the interviews are a joke at the moment, they don't even ask questions of things that actually happened during the race (or session), they are random and completely basic. We need questions concerning crashes, race pace, qualifying, post race interview based on how high you finished, market specutalations, etc. The possibilities here are endless.
- Radio and team orders: at the moment the radio is basically useless. The engineer only speaks when you gain/lose a position or when you're near your pit stop. We need more active communication, where he informs us on opponent's pace, our pace, track limits, strategy discussion, and speacially: team orders. It would be very interesting to have our teammate hold someone for us to pull away, give us toe in qualifying, or stay in DRS range for us not to get overtaken. With that said, I think the first issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible is the pit stop: our teammate ALWAYS double stack and fucks his own strategy. There should be a way to prevent that from happening through communication.
- Formula 2: starting your career in F2 is fun and add realism, but it could go beyond that. Competing in the F2 championship helps you get a seat in F1, depending on your performance: if you perform well you're more likely to get a seat, but if you don't, you may even need to stay for one more season. Also, if you choose not to start in F2, an option could be to have an F1 car test: you would drive a certain team's car and try to impress them, if you do well, you get a seat.
As you guys can see, all these additions would be more oriented towards realism. I addressed changes to career mode and MyTeam, since those are the only modes I really play, but I know that online modes are in need of some changes as well.
Please feel free to comment what you think as well :D

2024.05.21 13:15 kapykapybara What are some potential options for nurses who want a career change?
Hello people!
I am an equivalent of a Licensed Practical Nurse in Australia (they call it something different). I have worked at a hospital and I am specialized in Cardiology and Hematology. I have also worked on the frontline during the peak of the pandemic.
Now I am considering a career change as I don't think nursing is for me, but I am really unsure of what to do. I do like health science and medicine, but I am also open to trying different things. I speak Mandarin, English fluently and French to a professional working level if that matters. I also don't mind doing further studies to change fields. In fact, I did a graduate certificate of Computer Science while working as a nurse just to see what it's like. But it seems like it's a really rough time to enter the industry at the moment.
I am leaving Australia. I am considering moving to Canada or Europe. I would just like to hear from ex-nurses who have changed career and maybe have pursued a different career somewhere abroad. What did you end up doing and how are things going so far? Are you happy that your made the move? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.21 06:18 xXxDoggoSlayerzzzxXx Choosing between living in Msia or Aus
Hey everyone, so starting with a some brief context, I did a bachelor's of robotics engineering in Australia, graduated top of the class 2 years ago, stayed in the same city, worked in an amazing space startup and learnt a lot, received an Australian PR, missed home in Malaysia, quit my job and moved home 3 weeks ago, and here I am.
The reason behind me quitting was because I have received 2 seperare offers to further pursue my passion in robotics in Australia either through a sponsored PhD in robotics or another robotics startup as a mid-level robotics researcher with a significant pay rise. So I see myself returning home as taking a break, but I also thought to try to apply for jobs in Malaysia to explore my preferences and if I will be able to fit in to working in Malaysia. Fortunately, I got a remote role at an MNC working as an embedded software engineer with a pretty decent growth opportunity and a compensation of ~rm8k. My plan is to continue with this job for a few months while resting at home before making a decision to either:
- Continue working in Malaysia and progressing through the promising corporate ladder at the MNC with a decent pay while being at the comfort of home and a great social circle.
- Starting afresh alone in a new city in Australia working in my main passion in robotics with a significant pay rise (more than my current compensation without conversion) or a sponsored PhD in robotics for 3.5 years.
Note that choosing to work in robotics in Australia will mean that the chances of returning home to establish a meaningful career in robotics will be harder in future since robotics is not that prominent from my understanding. And, I find myself a lot happier and at ease in Malaysia while being around family and friends.
I was wondering if anyone has any opinions, insights, experiences or suggestions on perspectives that I should consider that they don't mind sharing. Thanks for taking the time to read through!

2024.05.21 06:03 casinoboy369 WHAT DO I DO? '30M' and '27F'
So, I will try to keep it as short as I can. Me and this girl have been dating for 7 years. We came from a different country but met in Australia. She's Christian and I am Atheist/Buddhist. Her father is a pastor. She labelled herself a strong believer when we started dating. But after a few months , we just got busy with life, travelling, having fun and etc. She didnt go to church. But after 7 years of dating, a few months before her sister comes her to study, she has been in touch with her father and family. Since then, she's been asking me to change the religion in order for me to be accepted into her family. And, she asked me to go to one specific church that's like one hour drive away from where we live every Sunday. Me and her work 6 days a week. The only day off is Sunday, Personally, I wanna go for brunch, camp, hiking , or anything different or interesting on the only day off that we have. I have been to a few churches but I don't like going to the church she recently found out to go enjoying. i find it a bit one-sided. The speeches they give. Anyway, if it gives her happiness , I don't wanna stay between. We never had a big issue, I find us compatible with each other. We both know we love each other. But recently, she has become a person of faith and she said the only way for us to continue and to be accepted by her family is to change my religion and hold a religions conversation with her father. Me and my family will accept her for who she's . She doesn't need to change anything. She 's been with me during my difficult times. Now, I feel when i got everything (career, financial, etch) together, I want her to be with me to enjoy life. I don't mind going to church once in a while. But I do not see myself spending 4-5 hours on the only day off that we have, listening to/say things that I do not agree with every Sunday. What makes it worse is that her younger sister who got here recently managed to convert her bf into Christian. So, I am not sure if she's now being pressured by people in her life or she just became a person of faith all of a sudden.
What should I do next?

2024.05.21 04:28 OkChampionship3263 Dietetics or speech therapy? Which career to choose?
Hi everyone,
I'm 30 years old and I'm torn between pursuing a career in dietetics or speech therapy. I'm leaning towards speech therapy initially because it's a four-year degree, and while English isn't my first language, I'm proficient in it, with a mild accent. The starting pay in the public sector for graduates is $85,000, but I've heard from many on Reddit that they've opened their own private practices a few years after graduating and are making over $170,000 a year, so I could potentially make a lot by the time I'm 38.
On the other hand, I'm interested in dietetics too. I've heard there's no shortage of jobs in Western Australia, and the pay in the public sector is also $85,000. In the public sector, after four years of experience, I could potentially earn around $94,000 as a dietitian, whereas speech therapists who open their own clinics can make up to $170,000 a year in private practice. I'm not sure what the pay would be like for dietitians in private practice.
I also feel that if I pursue dietetics, I might need to do something on the side, like blogging or starting a food-related business, or with the knowledge I have, I could start a healthy snack business.
I'm not sure if I want to rely on half the pay of an SLP as a dietitian and hope for a successful side business, or if I should choose speech therapy as a more straightforward path to job security and higher earnings.
I'm wondering which of these two fields is more highly regarded? When I mentioned speech therapy to someone, they dismissed it as "just making kids talk," which made me question the public perception and respect for allied health jobs.
I need to apply in a week and would really appreciate any advice or insights you can offer to help me make this decision. The cost of the course doesn't bother me as I have some savings available that I want to use wisely. Thank you.

2024.05.21 01:37 ABoringAddress Why aren't Australian singers/music acts "exporting" themselves enough?
I ask this not being Australian, of course, but I'll put a
*pin on this.
So, it's not like Australia (or New Zealand, though on a different scale) hasn't had a proportional share of
internationally successful music acts, but is it just me or it doesn't even compare to the number of actors and filmmakers Australia exports on the regular?
The website Chartmasters has a list of the
Top 1000 most streamed artist on Spotify, which is pretty useful when gauging the popularity of current or legacy acts. And for comparison's sake, when you filter by country, Australia has 19 artist in that ranking, while Ireland has 8 with one fifth of the population. Granted, some popular acts like INXS or Crowded House (part Aussie after all) haven't broken into this ranking yet, but it gives you an idea: It feels as if most of Australia's music scenes haven't been properly exported and positioned yet in the broader Anglo markets, which almost certainly guarantees Global popularity. Why is it the case? I'm always amazed at all the great acts which are mostly popular within AUS-NZ (Powderfinger, Midnight Oil), but the reason I've kept thinking about this is someone like
Vera Blue. This girl has everything to eat: She's gorgeous, she's stylish, she's unique, she has A VOICE, she flows seamslessly between EDM Pop and Folk... and most importantly, she has accrued several songs with dozens of millions of streams, most of them from an audience of some 30 million people. Why the fuck isn't UMG (her label) exporting her?
I'd love to hear the feedback from Aussies and Kiwis on this.
I do wonder, and here I come back to the
*pin: I'm Chilean, the neighbor from right on the other side of the Pacific, and there's this cultural, collective unconscious thing about us feeling like we are the proper End of the World, isolated and far away from the rest of the Planet for worse and for better. Within that mindset, Chileans have always been wary and scared from taking the plunge outside our borders to make a career, which is ironic because if you want to live from music as a Chilean, there's no other fucking way but to go abroad and play in the big pool, mainly, Mexico and then perhaps Spain (all other creatives too). Very few have dared to do that, some famously chose to return right as they were breaking out. Would I be wrong to think that something similar happens to Aussie and Kiwi music acts when considering going to the US or UK? That they prefer the safeness and coziness of the smaller, End of the World pool?

With online creators increasingly the preferred source of news and opinions for younger audiences in the European Union, Brussels said they needed to be helped to use their role wisely.

Listening to early radio broadcasts in the 1880s was experienced by many as religious because radio voices seemed to come from some other dimension.

Even worse, they leave rejected applicants with no recourse. People can have similar experiences when applying for jobs or petitioning their health insurance providers.

So far, much of the work that has gone into designing these systems has focused on workers’ experiences using them or communities’ perceptions of them. But what about the actual impact of these programs have on people, especially when the decisions the systems make lead to denial of services? Can you design algorithms to help people make sense of and contest decisions that significantly impact them?

Training to become one, therefore, involves considerable focus on oral skills. It is considered important that barristers have the ability to speak “eloquently.” This risks people thinking there is a “correct” way of speaking in order to be successful in this career. Accents, of course, play an important role here. Accent-based bias discriminates against speakers with non-standard accents—people whose speech differs from Received Pronunciation (RP).

Apologies, I know this would have been asked already, abd I can't seem to find the info on the Internet.
I was on a 417 in 2019, left Australia without completing my farm work thinking I would just do a year in-between career changes.
Will I be able to apply for another 417 when the new visas become active in July? Or will it get rejected because I've previously held one and didn't complete the work.
Edit: I am a UK passport holder

2024.05.20 13:20 Hoogs Episode #833 - Eat Like a Legend: Chef Dan Churchill on Fueling Your Body for Peak Performance with Delicious Food - May 20, 2024
Episode Link YouTube Link Episode Description: The culinary landscape is being reimagined, blurring the line between food and performance. Awareness has taken hold—what we consume is far more than mere sustenance. Food is self-care, a vehicle for living life to the fullest and unlocking our greatest potential to serve others.
My guest today is
Dan Churchill, who embodies this ethos. An Australian transplant based in New York City, Dan is an international performance chef and cookbook author with a Master’s in Exercise Science. He founded the former Charley St. restaurant, is executive chef at Brooklyn’s 1 Hotel Osprey, owns The Epic Table production company, and prolifically creates instructional and inspirational social media content.
Dan’s reach extends far beyond the kitchen. He’s a podcaster, contributor to Chris Hemsworth’s Centr app, and author of the new cookbook,
Eat Like a Legend.
What started as fostering togetherness over modest family meals, Dan’s culinary skills have since become inseparable from his dedication to peak human performance. He seamlessly integrates his expertise in fitness and wellness with his passion for healthy cooking, emerging as a leader in nutrition-based performance.
Today, we talk about his unique background growing up in Sydney, how a passion for food bonded his family, exploring the concept of food as a tool for connecting with others and serving people, and his journey from appearing on MasterChef Australia to self-publishing cookbooks that launched his career in New York City.
Dan shares insights from building respected brands like Charley St., the harsh realities of the restaurant world, the importance of authentic relationships over transactional partnerships, and finding balance as a hybrid entrepreneur, athlete, chef, and content creator. We discuss his latest projects, eating with intention, properly fueling training, recovery, and digestion.
We also explore performance nutrition facts and myths, managing energy levels, and working with elite athletes like Chris Hemsworth, Lindsey Vonn, and more. His zest for uplifting others spiritually and physically is genuinely inspiring. His calling is to change the world by demystifying healthy eating.

2024.05.20 12:52 ThrowRA533466 I (M20) am unsure on what to do with my relationship with my girlfriend (F19) any feedback would be appreciated?
So pretty much me and my girlfriend have been together for almost a year and a half now, so far we’ve had a great relationship. But as of recent we have been discussing our futures together and since then I’ve just been really unsure whether I want to continue this relationship.
For some background, we are both long ish distance, about 2-4 hours away depending on the transport you take. For me this is a major turn off, as I could usually handle long distance but the more and more it’s gone on I’m really hating it, and i’m not willing to move closer to where she lives, as i am an apprentice engineer and have a job where i’m currently living. And if I were to move to where she lives I would be throwing away all prospects I currently have of getting a well paying solid career which I myself am not willing to give up over a relationship. My girlfriend, who’s just now finishing her studies wants to go traveling in the near future abroad for an extensive period of time, at least a couple of months. For me this is quite a problem, as obviously I am stuck where I am right now, and don’t want to throw away my potential career, and I am already hating long distance as it is, I don’t think I could deal with possibly 6 months of her on the other side of the world.
The main issue I’m facing is, our futures don’t really fit each other in, as she wants to go traveling which she is well aware that I can’t go, and after my 4 years is up in my apprenticeship I plan to move out to Australia and work out there for a few years, which I also discussed with her and she said that she would not want to come with me. So the way I see it personally is that there is no point in continuing our relationship when we are both really struggling with long distance which is going to be exacerbated by our future plans, and also how our futures just don’t include eachother in them at all. I’m just really unsure on what to do, and I would just like a bit of feedback really. Sorry if this post has been very rambly, but I just really have needed to get this off my chest. Thank you.

2024.05.20 11:49 guiltyofnothing “Are you the lion? Can you breed me, alpha daddy?” A user has their rent increased and posts their landlord’s contact information to /r/Renters. Reddit lurches into action.
The Context:
Our drama takes place across two threads in
/Renters, beginning with OOP
posting a screenshot of a letter from their property manager informing them of a 100% rent increase. OOP includes the property manager’s contact information in the screenshot and says they “felt comfortable enough to share this man
[sic] information because he's a scumbag piece of shit.”
The sub quickly moves into action.
The Drama:
Some question OOP’s story: I love how we are just taking the OP's word as truth, it's just as likely they did do $10k worth of damage Edit: when someone responds to you and then immediately blocks you it kind of illustrates that they know their point is weak at best.
Regardless, most landlords are scum.
Because they make you pay for the things you use?
Way too much, yes.
Just how much do you think the average landlord makes on a rental? I'm curious as to your thoughts, because I have actual numbers and I guarantee they are not nearly what you think.
Is this all Biden’s fault? Welcome to Biden America 🤣
You advocating for socialist housing policies? More renters protections? More tenants rights? Congrats man you’re more a socialist than I am.
Guaranteed he doesn't get it. XD
Nah. Obviously you morons don't get it. Probably don't own real estate either🤣. That's what happens when the country is becoming a third world country due to the far left policies of America today. I'm not saying how the guy went about raising rents went, but it's happening everywhere. But, come back and try again tomorrow. Maybe you'll be a little smarter when you wake up.
Wake up to what? The fact that presidents don’t dictate rent prices? Why does a studio apartment in Kalamazoo cost 1/5 what it does in Manhattan? Why did Biden decide that?
[Continued:] I didn't once mention the word president. I said the far left policies brought us to this point. So I see all you want to do is run your mouth, because you're blaming a president which I didn't do. Nice try though.
“Far left policies?” What specifically policies did the dems pass, that are considered “far left”, that cause landlords to raise rent prices more than inflation rates?
And you said “Biden America” so don’t play dumb now about not using the word President.
Hahaha, your low IQ is showing. I'm guessing 80 since you can spell, but that might just be a smartphone doing the heavy lifting.
Awe, did I trigger a snowflake? I see aim dealing with a keyboard warrior here, but would never say that to my face🤣. Get lost worm!
OOP is condemned: Doxing is wrong. OP this is shameful.
Greed is wrong. Dox pieces of crap like this landlord more often any maybe then won't do shit like this.
Nah. It’s not only generally wrong it’s against reddits rules. It doesn’t matter what you think.
And no one CARES what YOU think about it. Go cry elsewhere
Others defend the property manager: Doxxing isn't cool no matter the context bruh
Yes it is
You’re lame
No it's not but that isn't doxxing.
[…] You know this guy is just working a job to pay his bills too? A property manager isn't going to fully control rent prices and if he does price it they have a responsibility to their client (the owner) to charge the market rate.
While it's a shame that rent is increasing for OP, this company sent a fair warning advanced notice to either expect to pay up or find another living arrangement.
This guy did nothing wrong, didn't deserve for the Internet to white knight attack him, and you are an asshole.
ehhh,...bullshit!, the problem here is this Asshole is jacking up the rent %100, like everyone is made of money you complainer-motherfucker, greed= you get what you get, and the rents are way the fuck out of control just like everything else.
Sorry to break it to you that owners of investment properties aren't developing projects to shelter people out of the goodness of their hearts.
I'm not saying the system doesn't have flawed or isn't tough on people, but as a renter you need to face the reality that your rights to the property do not go further than the lease contract you signed.
Oh, they're doing it for profit? Real profound statement, dipshit.
Hey man go buy some homes and give people deals. Or keep crying online your whole life.
Yes, that’s how people make money. Stay broke lil bro
[Continued:] Yeah that was established by the OP genius. Most literate redditor right here, good lord lol
Looks like I hit a nerve broke boy
yawn
[…] as a human being with morals intact, maybe your responsibility is to the owner. You still owe it to the people who rely on you and your client (the owner) for housing to not raise rent 100x. Maybe it's legal, but it is absolute scumbag behavior. Maybe you aren't a scumbag, but you picked a career where they flourish
not raise rent 100x
100x and 100% are completely different.
For all we know OP could have been locked into an extremely low rate on rent for the last ten years and this could be the first adjustment catching up to market rate. In a contract your only locked in for the length of the contract, and when that contract ends friendly reminder that you don't own the property nor have rights to it or in the future. Laws on rent increases vary based on area and there may not be anything illegal here.
While I wouldn't be happy if I was OP either due to the 100% increase being pretty significant, it's totally unreasonable to think you rent will never increase in the future.
Attacking a guy who had his personal info leaked on the Internet because you don't like the rental system is pretty pathetic behavior.
Simply put if you don't like renting go buy your own property where you don't have to deal with this.
Who the fuck is signing a 10 year lease for residential property?
Probably no one. Regardless your rights end with the lease expiration date in any circumstance.
[Continued:] There's something incredibly basic that goes over your head, along with people who argue like you.
Your entire strategy here is to enumerate descriptive truths (e.g your rights end at X point, property managers have a fiduciary responsibility to serve landlords, etc.) to imply normative ones (e.g therefore the behavior of the property manager or landlord is justified).
This isn't how ethics works. If it was, then the Holocaust would be justified. What the Jews did was illegal, they existed during the Nazi regime, which meant they had no right to life. That's a descriptively true fact, they literally lacked the right to life, and Nazis could engage in the exact same game you are playing, enumerating descriptive truths about the political reality of Germany in 1942 to justify rounding up Jewish people.
Descriptive and normative truths are built up the same way (through axioms and logic). However, the legality of something does not universally indicate how ethical something is.
If you want to continue playing the game of listing descriptive facts about the world, I have a fun one for you. The commodification of housing materially harms the working class, and has done so to such an extent that peasant revolutions within the past 100 years have literally rounded up landlords and shot them dead because of how much harm they were causing. This didn't require decades or centuries of anti-landlord rhetoric to dehumanize landlords, because the harm landlords cause is real and can be felt by people. Sometimes, when a large group of people are harmed enough, they get frustrated and revolt against said harm. That's a real risk landlords should realize they're engaging in, they tend to feel safe because the State backs the interests of the bourgeoisie, but that's not always necessarily going to be the case.
Thanks man I'm obviously going to rethink my stance that people shouldn't be doxxing this guy
You said a lot more than just an anti-doxxing stance. If all you said was "damn I wish this dude wanted doxxed", I wouldn't have bothered to comment. You mentioned a property manager's responsibility to serve the interests of the landlord. You mentioned your rights to the property ending with the expiration of the lease. These descriptively true facts were done to imply the landlord/property manager were behaving justly and didn't deserve to get doxxed.
Whether they deserve it or not, when one group consistently engages in harming another group, sometimes the other group fights back. The working class has very few avenues for actually fighting back against this sort of thing, and most of the tactics in this thread generally boil down to moderately annoying the landlord. They'll still evict the tenant, the tenant will still potentially become homeless because of housing commodification. The harm is still being done, and the landlord is benefitting from it.
Worse things have happened to landlords for engaging in this behavior, and they can happen again. It's not a game worth playing for anyone. It'd be best for everyone if landlords just fucked off and stopped scalping houses, but they won't. And peasants don't generally put up with this shit indefinitely.
Well damn man I wish that dude wasn't doxxed.
I appreciate the six paragraphs you wrote me and apologize if the economic model we have (that neither of us can change) has somehow hurt you today.
Yes, nobody can change economic models, yet they somehow change anyway, weird. It's almost as though the base-structure informs the super-structure, and as the contradictions of capitalism intensify, material harm skyrockets, people "radicalize" (see what used to be externalized costs actually internalized). Conversations are part of this change, the introduction of language and ideas allows people to navigate and reason about the harm they're feeling, and correctly place the blame, which is incredibly important.
If you look at the fascist movement in the U.S, you'll commonly see they actually agree on what's harming them (this is easy to tell). Rising prices (rent, groceries, etc.), shit pay, no control in decision making. However, they misunderstand the system.
People like you have baked capitalist realism into their heads (the system is immutable, this is the true way of the world, there's no reason to think or discuss an alternative because it's unreasonable), so they don't even consider that capitalism is the problem.
Instead they blame the Mexicans "not sending their best", or how LGBT communities are "attacking traditional values". They look for ways the world is changing, and assume that change is what's causing the harm they're feeling. You're an important part of the fascist pipeline, and even if you're not a fascist yourself, I'd suggest you get your head out of your ass before we literally live in a fascist dictatorship and this shit is illegal to discuss. Liberalism has many times devolved into fascism to prevent socialism. Bourgeoisie interests operate fine in fascist environments, so they'd prefer to move in that direction instead of something that actually fixes class contradictions.
[Continued:] Your right we should totally be cool with OP getting hundreds of redditors to harass this property managers personal life about an issue we all literally don't even know the full story of, because fascism.
Dude I'm going to stay out of this subreddit and genuinely wish you all well please try not to go postal next time rent increases.
At no point did I greenlight anyone's actions, and you responded to none of my points. Stop fabricating a strawman to justify your own position.
Hey man if you actually have the capacity to talk about what I'v been talking about the entire time I'll chat.
Please don't respond with anything about Hitler, bourgeoisie, fascism, economic disparity, or assumptions you have about me.
What do you think about OP getting hundreds of people to harass the personal life of this guy over something we all have limited info on a single side of the story. Justified or unjustified?
You discussed tenant rights, property manager responsibility, and even directly alluded to capitalist realism. It's an incredibly unfair tactic to mention all of these things, then the moment you get a rational response dismantling every one of your points, move the goalposts and back down from every point you've made in this entire thread except one.
Like everyone can scroll up and read, you're not fooling anyone into thinking your only point has been anti-doxxing. You just lack the capacity to have a genuine conversation, so you'll simply retreat from every point you've made instead of considering that maybe you were wrong.
I think what the OP is doing is harmful, but not as harmful as what the landlord did. I don't have enough information to say if it was justified or not, and neither do you. Sometimes harmful things can be done and they can be justified, especially in retaliation. I can list off a ton of extreme examples that are potentially justified but far more harmful than what either of these people are doing.
Well at least we agree what OP is doing is harmful.
Now I guess we need to ask should we or should we not harass real life people based on unverifiable stories from anonymous people online?
Sorry if you didn't like how I laid it all out. But i think not liking the realities of the rental systems isn't good enough justification to get hundreds of people to harass someone over what could potentially be a fabricated story, but that's just me.
[Continued:] Most reasonable diamond hands joker
You said you were leaving.
Is a rent increase ever justified? Fuck apartment complexes! They raise it for zero reason and have no idea what they’re doing.
No reason, like higher taxes, higher demand, higher insurance rates, higher trash fees, higher utilities, on and on.
Tell me you don't pay your own bills, without telling me you don't pay your own bills.
Maybe these cooperate assholes should pay their own bills
They do.
Hahaha you’re trying to sell airbnb management and consultation, dude go read the book of matthew and become a better human.
”Rentoid”: Ah yes, doxxing. Classy 👌
found the wannabe landlord
like ahh, yes, let’s be offended that the exploiter might face consequences for their actions
lol
Yea what do you expect from a rentoid sub lmao
tf is a rentoid what 😭
A term for renters used by toxic landlords and homeowners that believe themselves superior to people who rent.
they've got bootlicking down to a science i tell ya
[…] No not really. Everyone in this sub admitting they are calling and texting him and harassing him online need to be more careful. And grow tf up
This guy deepthroats the whole boot
Child response. I'm sorry you willfully signed your lease and no one forced you too. Grow up
Haha 🤣 if I cared what you thought I’d ask how the shoe polish tastes. It’s honestly not even doxxing. That’s a letter they sent, with facts they provided, and a public number to be contacted at. Op is under no obligation to protect the management company from their own stupidity.
Some people question OOP’s story: So we’re just taking OP’s word that this actually happened? And the phone number on that letter is really his landlord? The low IQ Reddit mob mentality at its finest.
Google is your friend
I too can write a bullshit letter, stick a business’s phone number, screencap it and karma farm on Reddit. Unlike OP I’m not an idiot.
Sounds like you wrote the letter, mate.
You are making me rather confident in the assumption
[Continued:] I can tell you blindly accept whatever OP posts on Reddit. Easily manipulated.
What are you talking about lol. Why are you so angry at a box of lights. Go to bed, or at least take a nap.
Same to you buddy. I’m baffled why you’re getting active over me calling out the truth.
[…] Bro chill
The lack of critical thinking on this sub is mind blowing.
It’s not about critical thinking, it’s about sending a message.
Sending a message on the premise that OP is being honest? If OP put your phone number there I bet you’d be singing a different tune.
[…] Google the number. It belongs to that business
So we’re assuming the landlord wrote that letter? If you look at their properties nothing even comes close to the rents OP is claiming.
I think OP has successfully trolled you and a hundred other people.
Subreddits get shut down for this tho.
Is this all doxxing? Oh man so you sent the landlord specific information about the person who posted it… so now he can go after them legally for “doxxing” him? 😬🫠🤔 who’s side are you on lol
Sharing a document you are a party to online that isn’t under NDA isn’t doxxing. OP didn’t ask Reddit to harass the landlord in the original thread. There’s nothing here to worry about since he’s not renewing his lease there.
Unless the landlord is in the….mob
OP said (in the text): "I felt comfortable enough to share this man(s) information because he's a scumbag piece of shit"
As any lawyer would tell you, intent matters, esp. in civil cases. -or- more pragmatically as any competent lawyer would tell you, if you're sweating $1k/month in rent, don't bank on legal technicalities to save the day when intentionally picking fights with entities with the capital to buy buildings.
The number is publicly available, you could literally say "please say nasty things to this number" and it would still be completely legal and any claim against it would be immediately laughed out of court.
I don’t know why you keep posting stuff similar to this. The behavior that you’re stating is completely legal is 100% not legal in Pennsylvania, where the area code for the number comes back to.
Harrassment is not legal behavior. And (3) engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which serve no legitimate purpose, is language that could be used to define what’s going on here. It could also qualify under 4, 5, and 6.
[Continued:] The behavior that you’re stating is completely legal is 100% not legal in Pennsylvania, where the area code for the number comes back to.
No lol.

Read the definition you just posted lol, OP did not do anything remotely quantifiable as harassment, he just posted the publicly available number, if OP is spamming offensive messages or something to the landlord sure but that is categorically not what is visible here. Further a customer complaint and warning is a legitimate purpose and is well established as protected speech thousands of times over. Unless you knowingly lie in a review you are protected completely. "This company sucks don't rent from them and here is their publicly available contact info" is completely indisputably first amendment protected speech everywhere in the US.
It is extremely funny that you would post evidence of yourself being wrong.
People have been calling and texting the number and some even stated that their calls and texts have been answered. The person who is answering is apparently the ownelandlord. That person is being harassed. Look at the comments describing what people are sending him. Pictures of their asses and random shit talk. That does not count as a customer review or a complaint.
All of that communication has been facilitated through the OP, who also stated that they intentionally left the contact information because they believe the landlord is an asshole.
Maybe stick to legal issues in Australia instead of trying to incorrectly educate Americans about our first amendment. Freedom of speech is not freedom to blow up someone’s phone because you don’t agree with their business practices. Even if they are unethical and shitty.
Others upbraid people for ruining OOP’s life: Congrats on fucking up OPs life even worse. Hope you step on a lego and learn to not text random numbers and step into a situation you were never a part of.
hands you a box of tissue
What do you mean?
By texting the number, it could be considered outing the OOP for Doxxing which is illegal.
OOP could potentially be in legal trouble now because they forgot to edit out the contact information and posted it and people decided to text the number.
Attacks become misogynistic: As a woman, I’d never be ok with you doing this unsolicited to anyone. But I’m having a really hard time having an issue with this landlord asshole looking at your asshole. 🤷🏻♀️
As a woman, you should be in the kitchen.
Aww, bless your heart. I know it’s hard, but just know, that with an attitude like that, you’ll die alone because no woman will want you. But, you already know that 💕💕 here’s hoping you learn to have a personality beyond misogyny before it’s too late!
He hasn’t had pussy since it had him. No worries there.
God you're limp.
