@tarffdc @Nixie_North @kylegordon101 I have to be totally honest with ya, my man. I just don’t care. Have you seriously been whining about this for 30 damn years?

@lee_lei_lp @Nixie_North @kylegordon101 But I knew the reference and still didn’t find it funny. Too much of modern Simpsons humour, and I mean modern as in since 1996, is just regurgitating cultural and viral talking points essentially verbatim and going ‘this also exists in the Simpsons universe, but in yellow!’

@Nixie_North @kylegordon101 I maintain that a lot of the complaints about The Simpsons not being funny anymore come from people who don’t keep up with culture enough to get a lot of the jokes.

@BAYC5511 @bigspooktime Reviewbrah is great. As others have said this guy Joe has a good idea with the portion control/temp measuring. But I hate the presentation, as impressively done as it is

@freedombill3 10 years later one of them has an 18 year old car. And has to spend thousands on maintenance each year, or tens of thousands for a replacement.

My mate leases a brand new Audi A5. £550 a month. Looks incredible outside his house. My other mate drives an 8 year old Golf he bought outright for £6k. Looks average outside his house. Audi mate: £6,600 a year gone, forever, and he'll never own it. Golf mate: same £6,600 sitting in a Stocks & Shares ISA, compounding. In 10 years, one of them has a car. The other has a car and roughly £95k, assuming average market growth. Depreciation doesn't care how good you look at the lights.

"ploughman's lunch was invented in the 1950s" is probably my least favourite smug well ackchually factoid bc I would understand it if it was made of some exotic ingredient like paprika but it's just bread, cheese, onions and eggs. do you think that combo really needed inventing

@USNTconnoisseur @risshan But no-one else plays ice hockey except for you, Canada, maybe one of the Scandinavian countries. Are Russia still allowed to play?

This is what I think is a key breakdown in the communication about the "if our best athletes played soccer" argument. The dumb person in this meme: " If we took our biggest fastest and strongest guys and made them train soccer for a while, we would dominate the world cup! 🤪" The high IQ person in this meme: "our most elite athletes have not only exceptional physical tools, but the neurological gifts for coordination, skill acquisition, and field vision to match. If we had more people enjoying and involved with the sport, more of these athletes would get in the sport at a young age, and therefore we would have more top athletes in the ⚽ talent pool. With the size and diversity of this country's populace, we could be elite in a relatively short amount of time."

Malcolm gladwell did a podcast on how country music is uniquely vulnerable / emotional in a way that no other genre has ever really gotten close to, it was actually so true, even The Rolling Stones trying to do a country inspired ballad with “wild horses” doesn’t quite get there

@MaxRovensky @AceTheRed @Doombot999 @arvofart I’m not sure about the fence cut but I’m no expert. The gap between fence planks seems manufactured to allow *whatever they used to film it* to pass through. Although I wouldn’t rule out that being a deliberate red herring

Oh good, my bus fares will be capped at £2 per journey. That will save me, my family, and extended family precisely £0 per year. Excellent. Andy Burnham - Labour have zero ideas to stimulate the UK economy.

@calecampbell88 Precisely why a 64-team World Cup is such a ridiculous idea

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the US might be the only country in the whole world that could handle a 64 team World Cup. What will happen though, is that every WC from here on out will just have multiple host countries and many of them will still have to build new stadiums
Ian Darke@IanDarke

A 64-team World Cup would involve 128 games. …24 more than the one just ended. Presents big logistical issues. How many countries can provide enough training bases/venues ? How long will it take to play ? Think it will happen though.

Let me get this straight, because it broke my American brain. In the UK there is a thing called the telly tax. You do not pay it because you watch the BBC. You pay it because you own a television at all. The physical box in your living room. So the government charges you for the privilege of owning a screen, then uses the money to fund the channel you were trying to avoid. It is a cover charge for a party you never wanted to attend. And now 2.6 million households have looked at that deal and said no thank you, the biggest walkout in a generation. Meanwhile, in the land of the free and the aggressively over-appliance, I have six televisions. Six. All of them Samsungs. One exists purely to play weather radar and college football in a room I enter twice a month. Nobody taxed me for a single one. No letter, no inspector at my door confirming I own a Samsung. So here is my modest proposal for everyone over there still paying. You still own the box. You still get the bill. So on the same night, all of you, haul the telly down to the river and on the count of three heave it in. Call it the London TV Party. You already have the blueprint. Some colonists did the exact same thing with a boatload of tea in a harbor once, and it worked out pretty well for the ones doing the throwing. The BBC taxes the box, so you drown the box. No box, no tax. No tax, no lecture. Just a very confused fish watching reruns at the bottom of the river. I am not saying start a revolution over a television fee. I am just saying it would not be the first time a tax in the water turned into a whole new country. 🥃🦋

Dieses WM-Finale war, vorsichtig gesagt, ein denkbar schlechtes Aushängeschild für den Sport Fußball. Das Endspiel war über sehr lange Zeit sehr langweilig, um dann für sehr kurze Zeit sehr einseitig zu werden. Von den beiden Finalisten präsentierte sich mindestens eine Mannschaft, Argentinien, im Auftreten äußerst unsympathisch – nicht nur durch einen destruktiven, holzfällerhaften Fußball, sondern auch dadurch, dass man nach dem Abpfiffas das erschreckende Bild eines schlechter Verlierers abgab. (Paredes gehört nach seiner Attacke nach Abpfiff für längere Zeit gesperrt, wenn man mich fragt.) Spanien ist der absolut verdiente Weltmeister, aber dieses Finale war schlechte Werbung. Insgesamt hat mich diese Weltmeisterschaft insgesamt erneut fußballverdrossener gemacht. Ironischerweise waren dafür nicht, wie von linken Kommentatoren vorausgesagt, die USA dafür verantwortlich: Diese erwiesen sich, soweit aus der Ferne zu beurteilen war, als durchaus passabler Gastgeber, der beeindruckende Kulissen bot und sich als als ein Land zeigte, das (seit Jahren) immer fußballbegeisterter wird. Aus europäischer Sicht haben, das gehört auch zur Wahrheit, die Anstoßzeiten genervt und dafür gesorgt, dass es schwer fiel, der WM mit ungeteilter Begeisterung zu folgen. Aber gut. An den USA (sowie Mexiko und Kanada) als Gastgeberländern und sämtlichen prognostizierten Schreckensszenarien lag es ganz sicher nicht. Wesentlich schwerer wiegt der Befund, dass der moderne Fußball, den auch ich weiterhin verfolge und konsumiere, zunehmend als ein kaputtes Produkt erscheint. Dies beginnt bei den grotesken und inkonsistenten VAR-Entscheidungen – auch im Finale irrte der Schiedsrichter mehrfach fatal –, setzt sich fort über die korrupte Funktionärsebene rund um Infantino, die in der Rücknahme der roten Karte für Balogun nach einem Anruf von Trump einen vorläufigen Tiefpunkt setzte. (Es war auch nur konsequent, dass sowohl Trump als auch Infantino heute bei jeder Gelegenheit ausgepfiffen wurden und sich trotzdem nicht lumpen ließen, sich durch ein Photobombing bei der Siegerehrung lächerlich zu machen.) Die Krise des Produkts Fußball zeigt sich auch in »Hydration Breaks«, die inzwischen zu institutionalisierten Werbeblöcken geworden sind und sich nahtlos in das Bild von Emirates- und Qatar-Airlines-Stadien als kommerziellen Höllen einfügen; und schlichtweg zu vielen langweiligen Spielen. Hinzu kommen eingebürgerte Legionärstruppen mit immer geringerem Bezug zu den Ländern, die sie vertreten; doppelte Standards in Regelauslegung und Turniergestaltung; eine Inszenierung mit oftmals billigem Showcharakter, der nach Plastik schmeckt; sowie absurd überzogene Ticketpreise. Am Ende bleibt das Gefühl eines Großereignisses, bei dem man sich zwar über die Erfolgsgeschichten von Underdogs wie Norwegen oder Kap Verde freut, einige großartige Spiele erinnert und in Person von Messi, Haaland, Kane, Mbappe, Cucurella oder Rodri beeindruckende Leistungen bestaunen konnte, insgesamt jedoch eine tiefe Entfremdung verspürt. Letztlich schien es vielen, so auch mir, gleichgültig, wer dieses Turnier gewinnt, da man für keinen der Finalisten oder für das kleinere Übel die Daumen drückte. Fußball bleibt nach wie vor ein Massenphänomen, aber er wirkt inzwischen so uniformiert, gekauft, weichgespült, kommerzialisiert und von seinen Fans entfremdet, dass es zunehmend schwerer fällt, echte Leidenschaft für diesen Sport zu empfinden. Und wenn es Fans am Ende einfach mehr oder weniger egal ist, wer das Turnier gewinnt, ist das kein guter Befund für den Sport.

@BobbyWilson1004 Lose the triple today, call it pressing too hard due to the penalty, add back the two strokes and the ending would have been even more exciting. Hats off to Fox either way.

Sorry to keep rehashing this, but literally the two shot penalty on Bryson yesterday has literally NEVER been called on any other golfer in The Open. This was 100% agenda driven against Bryson. The R & A has really messed this up.
