I went to play football this morning.
Got to our usual spot and met a brand new gate and fresh fences.
Locked.
I asked people around what happened.
They said the man who owns the building beside the land bought it.
Not to build anything.
Just to stop our noise.
Also because some of the guys play in boxers and he doesn't want his daughters seeing them.
I stood there.
"You mean this man bought land worth 100 million plus… because of disturbance?"
They said he has nothing to do with it, according to him.
He just bought it to shut us down.
I picked up my boot quietly.
And started walking home.
Whoever you are,
Na money you get.
You no be God.

People keep asking me how I come up with this stuff
I don't come up with anything
I go to therapy
I take my kids to school
I buy coffee
I take the dog to the vet
I read policies that people didn't read before they enforced them
Then I say what happened
Out loud
That's it
If a duck looks like a duck and quacks like a duck I'm going to call it a duck
I'm not going to schedule a meeting about it
I'm not going to consult HR about the duck's identified species
I'm not going to ask the duck how it identifies
It's a duck
We all know it's a duck
Someone just needs to say it
If it looks like common sense
And it sounds like common sense
It's probably common sense
I don't know when that became controversial
But here we are
Make common sense common again
Best,

Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF.
It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift.
Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty.
Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.

a random italian guy walked up to me at the prague airport
dripped out
black slicked back hair
nice coat
maybe 27 years old
"hello can you help me please?"
yeah sure with what?
"i want to buy a baguette from the machine but i don't have enough czech crowns. don't you have 50 crowns?"
that's like $2-$3
i took a look in my wallet
shit was empty
"nah bro i don't use cash but i'll pay with my card"
"nonono that's okay..."
paid for it
but baguette got stuck in the machine
we both just stood there looking at it
he got lowkey sad cuz he was hungry
imagine 2 guys, one czech one italian, staring at a machine tryna buy a baguette at the gates
he tried to push it, shake it, whatever
i even asked the security if he can't do something about it
it was a mission bro
but no, nothing worked
"don't worry i'll buy you another one"
"NONONONO..."
paid again
got stuck again
but at least the first one fell out
he offered to split it with me
"nah bro i'm good enjoy"
he gave me his 40 crowns out of respect anyway
that's literally the only cash i even have now lmao
then gave me his instagram and said if i ever come to rome he'll show me around
he couldn't thank me enough and said I'm such an amazing person
maybe yeah but i was just bored and the $12 i spent bought me around 8 minutes of fun
and he got his baguette
win win
most people would've said "sorry bro" and gone back to their phone
i'm not saying this to flex
i'm saying not being a stingy retard or antisocial weirdo got me a genuine connection with a cool guy and an open invite to Rome
plus a good feeling
stop being stingy
money always comes back bigger

Went to the grocery store this morning
Bread, milk, eggs
$47.63
The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital
I pressed no
The cashier looked at me
The woman behind me looked at me
My wife looked at the ceiling
Again
This company made $14 billion last year
They can round up
Went to get gas after
The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans
I support veterans
I pressed no
A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon
That's not philanthropy
That's outsourcing
Drove through for lunch
Taco Bell
The screen said "round up for education?"
A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour
I pressed no
My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"
She was right
But the screens started it
Went to the pharmacy
Picked up a prescription
$340 after insurance
The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need
I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture
And now you want a dollar
I pressed no
The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"
I said "it's never just a dollar"
She didn't respond
Got home
My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"
I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"
She was quiet
Then she said "you're not wrong"
I said "I know"
She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"
I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"
She didn't disagree
But she didn't look at me either
Plz fix. Thx.

Bought a coffee this morning
Black, no milk, no syrup
Someone poured liquid into a cup
Took eleven seconds
Then she flipped the iPad around
30%
35%
40%
For a $6 coffee that took eleven seconds to make
The line behind me was six deep
All watching
30% is the new 0%
Everyone knows it
Nobody says it
I pressed custom
Typed $0
The barista looked at me
The guy behind me looked at me
My wife looked at the ceiling
We left
Went to lunch after
Waiter brought water and bread without being asked
Took our order
Checked on us twice
Refilled drinks
Cleared plates
I tipped 25%
My wife said "you just gave the waiter 25% and the barista nothing"
I said "correct"
She stared at me
I said "one of them did a job. The other one turned an iPad around."
She took the check out of my hands
After lunch we stopped for frozen yogurt
The kids served themselves
Picked their own toppings
Weighed their own cups
I paid by the ounce
Then the screen flipped around
35%
40%
45%
I looked at my seven-year-old who had just done the entire job
I pressed no tip
The teenager behind the counter didn't blink
She already knew
My wife grabbed my arm and walked me out
In the car she was quiet
Then she said "I can never take you anywhere"
I said "just not the places with iPads"
She didn't laugh
But she didn't disagree
Tipping used to mean something
Now it's just a screen that guilt-trips you in front of strangers
I don't negotiate against myself
Not at work
Not at a frozen yogurt shop
Plz fix. Thx.
