@Doggonitagain @ReubenJones1 Yes you hate America, we know

@ReubenJones1 Love the confederate flag!

I stopped by the North Carolina booth at the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall today. The state decided not to participate because of the high costs so the booth is sponsored by private orgs.

@gkmcahill @BoltsJolts @Salttown So these things are down to the half second or whatever. It's a bit retarded to compare that slight objectivity to the ref deciding when the entire game ends while the ball is in play in soccer

@e_oreo @BoltsJolts @Salttown isn't super sick how the coach or qb always gets the timeout off before the delay of game or how when the play clock clearly says 0 the refs have to look up to see in order to call a delay of game? It's all so exact!

The World Cup is fun but soccer will NEVER really catch on in the states because of this bullshit make believe random additional time and the ref deciding when he feels like stopping the game on top of that.

@gkmcahill @BoltsJolts @Salttown All of those are things the team can control. And when a throw away hits out of bounds is reviewable to the second. Forward progress is the only slightly arbitrary one but the ref isn't deciding the clock, the clock decision is based on the whistle which is based on play

@e_oreo @BoltsJolts @Salttown the entire thing is arbitrary. when a guys knees down in college to stop the clock for a first down, when forward progress is stopped so a team is allowed to call a timeout, when a throw away hits out of bounds or really any incompletion. none of that is exact

@BoltsJolts The important thing is - in American football the teams control the clock. Everyone knows exactly why and when the clock is stopping or running. There can be no allegations of bias with clock management. In soccer it's just up to the ref, feeling out of control which sucks

@BlakeR2025 @BoltsJolts Wow, a field sport has bigger crowds than sports that are in indoor arenas?

@BoltsJolts It’s “caught on”. MLS has teams worth over $1B. Bigger average crowds than NBA or NHL. Soccer people got interested in MLS in mid 90s after MLS de~Americanized. We love all the bullshit.

@gkmcahill @BoltsJolts @Salttown The clock doesn't stop arbitrarily in American football. There's specifically designed rules for when the clock stops. This introduces deep strategy around clock management that a well coached team capitalizes on. The clock is controlled by the teams, not the ref making it up

@BoltsJolts @Salttown they stop matches on corners you just aren't watching footy like that. But sure every other sport where refs arbitrarily stop and start the clock whenever are so much better lol 60 min game for the ball to be live for 12 of them.

@canncon @WMGotscha @hullender1113 @BadlandsMedia_ @xAlphaWarriorx Pretty big miss when the 1984 income is real but the home price is nominal

@WMGotscha @hullender1113 @BadlandsMedia_ @xAlphaWarriorx It’s Real Median income, a word missed in the post. The source FRED.

Was just listening to a podcast… 1984 average home cost $94,000 with average household income $63,000 2025 average home cost $514,000 With average household income $83,000 If that’s hard to swallow- add this to the chaos: 1984 only 1 adult brought in the income, in 2025 2 adults. More people need to ask why! Why and how did this happen

@ShitlibSupreme This is the dream of socialists everywhere. With Republicans having this much power they would have so much to critique.

@Andy_Dyer_NOVA @thunderbay63 @Wilson__Valdez The second one is great. We would be equally franchising everyone with a popular vote. Will never happen but it would be far better than letting the 50,000 dumbest Pennsylvanians decide our president

@thunderbay63 @Wilson__Valdez You forgot packing the court and disenfranchising flyover country by abolishing the electoral college.

This is the only race that is a real bummer to me. This lady is a lunatic. Not only is she completely unqualified but she holds caricature-ly bad views on pretty much every subject. She will be a massive anchor on the party.

@cptdankkk Stanford admissions officer opening up Jake Paul's high school transcript

Jake Paul says he wants to play slot receiver in the NFL after boxing, starting at Stanford “I do have NFL aspirations after boxing. I want to play slot receiver, and so I think to get that experience, college first would be good so I could walk onto the Stanford team” “I'm being serious. I was originally thinking I'll just go straight to the Cleveland Browns or Dallas Cowboys, but they're probably going to want to see me play first” “So, it might be better if I start off in college and have a little bit of an advantage over the younger, not as big kids before going into the NFL”

@toonarmytx @datsderrick But you, like all soccer fans in the US, are a complete dweeb that tries to LARP as European. "Embarrassing shit, that". You're not English, nobody talks like that here.

@datsderrick I'm American you limpdick. Shove your college football up your ass.

For our knockout stage… fly an HBCU marching band to Santa Clara. Whiteout like Penn State. Play Neck. Come out to Enter Sandman in the first half and 2001/Sandstorm in the second half. Play Mo Bamba at the second half hydration break. College football it up. #USMNT

@Ahhhhh576697 @MK_Foxbat Plus, the US vaporized Middle Eastern conventional militaries in weeks like four different times, the casualties were mostly counter insurgency. Russia is still struggling with the conventional military, hasn't even gotten to occupying the entire place.

@MK_Foxbat 24,000 casualties over 20 years vs 1.2 million in 4. Kinda pathetic comparison, no?

Not even a year before the Russian SMO launched, the US lost a 20 year long war. The US launched, and then lost its own SMO in February of this year. With all due respect (none) shut the fuck up. You have less than no room to talk.

@Valistryingg I see America on here twice as much as Brazil, seems like we have more World Cup success

Why do you guys have to be so annoying about everything? Brazil has won the World Cup 5 times, and even they don’t talk like this. You are playing well and have won a few games, just celebrate with your team and country normally like everyone else. My goodness.

@ECOuteSvp @anselm_io You Euros use Russian or American gas to heat your homes, which is very selfish when you could just use blankets. My AC is over 50% wind and solar powered.

@anselm_io Yep. Americans are selfish assholes. Not news

My German parents religiously turn off LED lamps. I think their heads would explode if I told them that my American friends turn their AC to 65°F/18°C so they can snuggle on the sofa under a blanket *in summer*

@Dankscop4r_420 @noahalyx @KodakCoyote Don't cheap out on the power supply. Make sure the motherboard you get has WiFi capability (most do now, I think) if you're not gonna have it on ethernet, or get a wifi card that's good.

@noahalyx @KodakCoyote any advice for ppl that have never built one?

@BasOMatic @LiberalHegemony Remember though, leftists have no concept of electability. Every presidential candidate, senator, whatever, has to be purely leftist. It doesn't matter that it's Texas, or WV, or anything. They'd rather run a socialist at 0.4% than a conservative dem at 51%.

@LiberalHegemony Manchin was also about as good as you could hope for from a Trump plus 40 state

She started as a green. She happened to pass by the moderates on her way to the right.

@Godverdoemeseg @JohnkGK @MagicOriole @FAmmiranteTFJ Yes, because weather is more rare in Germany

@JohnkGK @MagicOriole @FAmmiranteTFJ Under German rules it's up to the discretion of the referees. Weather-related interruptions are a lot more rare under the German system than the American one

How come I don't remember a rain delay at any other World Cup? Or am I wrong?

@LordBoatrace Seems like you're mad they'd hold a world cup in a country that has more world cup success than England.

Anyone else find it baffling that the World Cup is being hosted by a nation that barely recognises the game? Aside from repeatedly calling it the wrong name (Soccer) Americans seem to think it’s boring.. Fuck me. You got NFL and Baseball and football is boring? Jesus Christ 😂

@TheChzSandwich @LayinBrixs @lolbob27 @AlexiLalas We don't stop the game for rain, we stop for lightning. The European mind cannot comprehend American weather

@LayinBrixs @lolbob27 @AlexiLalas It rains plenty in Europe, but in 99% of all games we just play through it. On all levels. There would be no EPL if we stopped playing every time a system comes through

The future of soccer is roofed.

@jimmylad86 @AlexiLalas You don't know shit about lightning

@AlexiLalas Ffs America, it's just a bit of lightning. Soft as shite.
