My twitter is me, unvarnished.
So it's hockey, politics and some nerd stuff with occasional cat pictures mixed in.

@HansSwoleman It's not a flex, it's a warning.
We hate it too.
English
So the defence is … our infrastructure is so bad you’ll die if you try to do anything other than be in a car?
How is that a flex?

@WallStreetApes So let me get this straight.
You're taking an anti-capitalism stance on this, yes?
English
Los Angeles Mayor candidate Spencer Pratt confirms that “the number 1 buyer of Pacific Palisades dirt lots is China”
“China is taking over Los Angeles and Karen Bass is just letting them take it”
China isn’t buying the lots directly, they’re being very secretive. They establish companies based in New Zealand and then purchase Los Angeles properties with New Zealand companies, that are owned by China
Chinese buyers accounted for 15% of all foreign international buyer purchases nationwide in America
But get this
California was the top destination for these Chinese buyers, attracting 36% of their US purchases. 71% paid in all cash deals
Democrats are letting China buy out California’s home inventory

@DearS_o_n I've got some friends that genuinely care about me, but that's because I genuinely care about them.
You get back what you put out.
English
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT, As I turn 43 this year, I have realised, as a man, no one cares about you. Not your wife. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your workmates. Nobody. People act like they care, but deep down, they don't. You are on your own. Always on your own.

@spelunky_ @initjean A lot of folks are going to have unpleasant interactions with US Law Enforcement.
English
americans be like "but walking is banned"
lmao, do you really think that football fans care?
it will be like a zombie herd making their way through, you won't be able to drive on those roads
Gregor 🌹🇪🇺🇦🇹@salingergregor
if they keep this bs up there will be 50k intl fans each game day who just take a regular train to Rutherford and WALK the 1h to the MetLife Stadium. I know walking is an unfamiliar concept for most Americans, but it is a thing in the rest of the world.
English
@jzux It is rampant insider trading.
That's why it can be used to predict world events.
English
can someone answer a maybe dumb question for me about Polymarket / Kalshi / prediction markets? how is it not causing its own version of rampant insider trading? like, if you have inside info something is about to happen, can’t you bet on it and make $$$?
English
@Robert_mac88 @njdlauren I keep saying this.
We are not defending it, we are describing and explaining it. Many of us hate it too. Some of us have been advocating for improving public transit for years.
I don't know if you have noticed, but our politicians don't exactly listen to what we want.
English
@JDsays2much @njdlauren How do I propose you improve your public infrastructure? First of all I wouldn’t defend it, and second of all I would advocate my politicians to improve it
English
The amount of Americans being loud and proud in saying “our drivers will murder you in cold blood” is kinda strange
lauren@njdlauren
Joseph from Piscataway going +80mph is not going to give a fuck about some Dutch fans marching over a 6 lane highway
English
@JDsays2much @njdlauren “This is our normal” is just a complete subjugation to the status quo, a very interesting attitude
English
@jguthrie100 @potatoslav Of the big football stadiums, some are. But many are not.
English
@JDsays2much @potatoslav Hopefully at least some are accessible by footbridge

@JSkylynx don't think you understand who the average European football fan is
English
@JDsays2much @wossa_3 But then you build the stadium and the infrastructure that goes with it.
It really is incomprehensible to me, a Dutchman, that Americans are not just defending their third rate infrastructure, they are seemingly proud of it being bad.
English
so youve built a major stadium in a random swamp where no one lives and you think thats just normal?

@salingergregor When you see the price of food and beer inside, you'll understand why we bring our own beer in coolers and drink in the parking lot beforehand.
We bring food because we get hungry while drinking.
Thus: tailgating.
Parking is usually +/- $40 though.
The upcharge for WC is dumb.
English
has anyone told Americans tailgating is not a thing anywhere else? What is even the nice thing about having a bbq and booze in a parking lot??
NYGiantsRush@NYGiantsRush
All you suckers that love FIFA, it will cost NJ Transit $48 million dollars transporting riders to the matches….AND there is no tailgating. The clueless governor is acting like this wasn’t signed in 2018 and adjusted in 2023. All other host cities are charging fan normal rates. Sherrill and NJ Transit are thinking about charging $100 (normally $12.90) and there is no tailgating. Save your money. Stream it. MetLife sucks anyway…you’re not missing anything. Don’t continue to put up with this crap from her. Philly isn’t charging any additional fees to travel.
English
@fiago7 You've gotta realize something.
They do this kind of crap to us citizens literally all the time.
That's why there's a whole big cult of people in this country that have to convince themselves that we are the best at everything all the time.
So they don't have to see reality.
English
@njdlauren @Robert_mac88 Like they don't get it.
This is our normal. We didn't pick it. We were born into it.
English
@Robert_mac88 It’s not loud and proud it’s realistic. I’d love nothing more than for a feasible designated walking path for fans to enjoy, it’s just not possible
English
@JackDunc1 No, she doesn't care about the criticism.
She's warning people that they are in for a shock if they aren't prepared for the truth of the situation.
English
She doesn't get that the criticism is precisely BECAUSE the stadium is surrounded by highway and can't be walked to.

@WZG1889 You have to realize.
The corporations that control everything pull this crap on the citizens who live here too.
Those train prices are for us too.
English
theres this this crazy piece of engineering called a footbridge, alien concept to the americans considering they don’t walk anywhere mind you
Steeb@shteivred
Is…walking across 6 lane highways in your country legal?
English
@bratricek @potatoslav My town doesn't even have sidewalks.
If I want to walk anywhere I have to walk on people's property or the side of the road that doesn't really have a shoulder and folks drive 50mph(80kph) on.
English
Have to say, this is the biggest downside about living in the USA I have ever met yet. Never cared about shooting, cities crime etc as that is place-specific mostly....and overall all differences are specific to a location.
Are all 50 states like that?
Because I just checked this beautiful, typical US neighborhood and if I bought this nice house I would not be able to walk with my kids to the 4km distant stadium, because there is literally no infrastructure? And it seems like its on purpose.
The ability to walk somewhere is so basic for Europeans that this shit is really a deal breaker on the spot.
For me, car is the very base of individual freedom, but not a mandatory object to participate in society.
If I was younger I guess I would get used to ït but as a father I would not wish this lifestyle for my kids.
Huge civilizational difference
English
@potatoslav Wait until they see the price of beer at the stadium.
