Boomers ask why we don’t go to church, join clubs, or know our neighbors.
We work 50 hours a week. Commute 2 hours a day. Spend what’s left on rent.
They had evenings. They had weekends.
One income covered enough to leave room for everything else.
We have two incomes & no time

@MrRBourne @fatherdrip Soccer is so cool because it never stops and nothing happens
English
@fatherdrip I find American football tedious with its stop/start nature. But I don't feel the need to tell the world regularly.

All four World Cup games today are going to be draws. I enjoy soccer, but this is clearly one of the reasons many Americans are bored by this sport.
English
@jmhorp No, you don't get it. You still get a point for a draw so it's super exciting. Also, goals are difficult. Draws are an accomplishment. It's all so fun, really, you silly American!

Does this sound like a good life?
Wake up at 8:58.
Log into your WFH job at 9:00. Jiggle the mouse every few minutes.
Coffee. Emails. Meetings that could've been emails.
Lunch workout. Same weights you've been lifting since 2021.
Log off at 5. Move from one screen to a bigger screen.
Scroll. Order dinner. Take a 12-minute walk. Swipe on Hinge.
Take weed Gummy, text friends “can’t wait for the weekend.”
Bed
Repeat

I thought Posey signed/traded for these “every day” players so fans could feel safe to buy their jerseys, what happened??? 🤭 @SFGiants
Buster Olney@Buster_ESPN
The Giants are open to offers for their three highest-paid position players — Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Matt Chapman — among other obvious trade candidates, like Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray.

@Geraldwhy_ @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman Oh, I get it. I'm just saying it's boring. Running a marathon is an achievement, but I'm not interested in watching someone do it.
English
@RobOmo101 @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman There's been only two penalty goals at this world cup so far out of 46 goals scored. You simply don't get the game, for many countries, simply getting a point in a 0-0 tie game is an achievement. For curacao, losing 7-1 but managing to score 1 against Germany is an achievement
English
I don't know anything about soccer, so forgive me for my ignorance, but how is it humanly possible for Cape Verde to assemble a team that can prevent Spain from scoring a goal?
English
@metaliquidx0f @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman That's kind of the point. Goals are so difficult that when you watch football you are primarily watching a jogging event.
English
@RobOmo101 @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman Marcar gols é muito mais difícil do que marcar pontuação. 0x0 também é bom, os dois ganham pontos. Não tanto quanto uma vitória, mas ainda é resultado. Se 1 gol precisa ser trabalho, imagina 2. 3 gols é goleada (super vitória/ humilhação ao oponente)
Português
@MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman Interesting take. IMO 15% is kind of high for the most boring win possible. Add in 0-0 games and 1-1 games (the only even more boring scores) and things are even bleaker. Of these 1-0 games, how many include the only "goal" as the ultra lame penalty shot variety?
English
English
@MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman Also, a notable proportion of these "goals" are lame penalty shots where the goalie has barely a chance to stop the shot. The goalies must guess a side and often jump to the side opposite of where the ball is shot. Pretty lame!
English
@Geraldwhy_ @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman I'd sure hope not, because goals hardly happen! When they do, often they are of the lame penalty shot variety.
English
@RobOmo101 @MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman The beauty of football is not only in the goals scored, go watch basketball. Football has greater tactics, mind games and concentration required than any other sports. The higher the stakes and difficulty the bigger the reward.
English
@MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman The stat I quoted is across all world cups. 3 goals a game proves the point. When you watch football, you're primarily watching a jogging event.
English
@MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman Too bad Germany didn't curb stomp Curaçao 20-1 to bump your cute "average" even higher! Cool competition. Median a better measure than average for this precise reason 🤡
English
@MaxiG277 @onthesportmedia @AriWasserman The single most frequent scoreline in the tournament's history is 1-0 😂
English
English
@RobOmo101 @AriWasserman yes, when there is a defensive masterclass.
English
@onthesportmedia @AriWasserman The beauty of football....no one can score 😂
English
@AriWasserman that's the beauty of football, a well organized defensive team can stop a superior team from scoring. what you witnessed was a defensive masterclass.
English
Back when i was a gloomy teenager i started smiling as a habit cause i thought it would trick my brain into releasing happiness hormones, it didn’t work but it made me look more friendly and thus people approached me more which was what ultimately lifted up my mood.

@KNBR If you think homosexuality is gross, just wait until you watch this abhorrent "team" play a major league baseball game 🤮

Why was it important to write that verse tonight?
ROUPP: "The rainbow is a symbol of God's covenant to us, and us as believers stand firm in that... There's no hate at all."
What would say if somebody considered that derogatory toward them as a community?
ROUPP: "As a believer, I would push them to read the Bible. God has blessed me in so many ways and I don't think I'd be here right now if it wasn't for him."
KNBR@KNBR
Landen Roupp had Genesis 9:12-16 written on his pride hat tonight. "It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us." "It's just something I believe in and I stand firm in that. Thankfully we live in a country where we have the freedom to believe what we want."
