Starscream_xxx caring too much about it is cringier. If a guy is happy then he has every right to be as “cringeworthy” as he wants to. Cringing counts if you take something too seriously like when you’re a passionate singer but you aren’t aware that you sing horribly, but if you are well aware that you are a horrible singer and you sing nontheless for the sake of fun and happiness then being cringe is irrelevant. People nowadays overuse the word cringe when they see something they dont like. Cringe is subjective not objective

[@jakob9614]

[@mareksnopek9474]

I was watching this live in 2008 and I'm not afraid to say this might be the most surprising win in the 21st century. The way Vettel, a young and inexperienced driver, drove that Toro Rosso, a rather unremarkable car which shouldn't have been anywhere near victory...and let's keep in mind that Sebastian was still practically a no-name driver, a promising young talent but the midfielders such as Toro Rosso couldn't even dream of victories during those seasons...and yet it happened.
