starting to wonder if the behavior of a small section of hyper online weirdos drives too much news

“Are you going to the optional meeting?” Would I take a driver’s ed test recreationally? Would I do my taxes early? Would I change my car oil every 3 weeks?

you know i feel like I don't have my life together on a regular basis, then one of my friends sends me some bull shit from reddit dot com that makes me realize my life is actually fairly on point www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedd...

me: most people don't appreciate the degree to which technological and social advances have saved us from the back-breaking drudgery of the past me, emptying and reloading the dishwasher: truly I am the modern sisyphus

this is the kind of wholesome content i needed to see today

there were ten goals in the third place match and I know the final is gonna be 0-0 in the 83rd

one thing that I hate about ADHD is that I need to be hyper interested, extremely stressed, etc. to really get into something. no gears beyond locked in or kinda listless. this isn't a quirk chungus so wacky thing, it's a character flaw that makes my life worse.

imo it's underrated how COVID basically broke the entire idea of any sort of communal sacrifice or social contract for the right

started watching midsomer murders and i'm like. is the point that this nice man is a terrible cop? every episode seems to have a body count of 4+, most of whom were killed while he was actively investigating. baltimore homicide rate has nothing on the english countryside

I really do wonder how long it will take developers to realize no one can afford to buy computer upgrades anymore

thinking about the time when after years of watching players surround the ref and yell while commentators explained the eloquent arguments they were no doubt making they mic'ed up a ref in a Barca game then Messi and his teammates basically surrounded him yelling WHY WHY WHY on loop like seagulls

All across England they are afraid to jinx it but they're inching toward the kitchen, getting ready to celebrate with one of the seven completely different things they call pudding

The Las Vegas skyline from Blade Runner 2049 vs the Toronto skyline from right now.

Great piece from @mattdpearce.com on why America has less community than ever, especially on the left: People don't like the downsides of tight-knit groups. mattdpearce.substack.com/p/how-much-c...

So sad to see that Sam Neill died. I sat next to him on a plane from NZ to Sydney. He was so kind, let me hang in the airport lounge w him (!), told me about his animals, and gave recs on what to do in Sydney and drew me a little map of how to get to Bondi. And was so gracious to fans who said hi.

no world cup or mlb today

mitch is scurrying within the walls of the hospital and no one can catch him so they've brought in pest control and things are not looking good

idea i just had: instead of traffic lights working automatically, they could have a little pull cord that hangs over the middle of the intersection. so whenever you want to change the light you can just get out of your car and walk out there and pull the cord. that could be cool

oh my god he's been in the hospital four weeks? the smell by now

had an Algerian Uber driver yesterday, asked him who he liked in the match, he said "well, the French killed my grandfather, but I really don't like Moroccans."

This is a scam that they're pulling on young people to tell them not to get four year degrees and then later when they can't get good jobs tell them that they should've gotten a four year degree.

My advice for dating is simple and foolproof: get a dog. Take the dog out to places. Meet people who like dogs. If you don't end up in a relationship after that, you still have a dog which is the most important part anyway.

One of the best subreddits out there.

Couldn't possibly agree more. Historians, as a rule, connect with the vibes of a depiction of the past far more than surface-level details of costuming, locations, or even the story's relationship to real historical events.

I mean, this isn't really true, his weakest numbers were with the "working class" because education polarization dominates all American politics now, and Platner's coalition of voters looked virtually identical to any other Democrat in Maine's, except for being a little bit smaller.

Abusive alcoholic solidarity babey

just remembering this time at a party a girl was said she had nipples pierced and was like wanna see? and i was like yeah so she took me into the bedroom and lifted her shirt and i was like 👍 and then we went back out and later i found out she was into me. she should have been more forward i guess

I can’t even comprehend the scale of having that much money just to bet on sports

update:

left-themed oppositional defiant disorder with a shitload of misogyny imo these guys are are all trying to carve out a weird brand and they've chosen this explicitly as their attempt to be "left, but hates Dems... with a twist"

when a white person shows you their absolutely ungodly sunburn that’s a sign of great respect in their culture

Incredibly entertaining (and affirming) convo on the need for younger leaders in the NYT's focus group with Black voters. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I never had a teacher believe in me like this.

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

Haaland has incredible sports himbo energy, the closest American sports equivalent I can think of is Gronk Norway probably my favorite remaining team entirely because of this guy

instead of forming a coherent and principled political ideology a lot of people prefer to fall in love with some guy

Enough turning these animated films into live action movies. I want to see live action classics turned into animation. Gordon Gekko’s cigar exploding, turning his face black. Lawrence of Arabia imagining a sand dune as a roasted ham.

and the usmnt goalkeeper went to Harvard eh

that third Belgian goal was utterly unbearable. glorious in the sheer incompetence

This is not, in fact, true. One of the quote skeets is like "I know a family in Seattle that makes $500k and they're Seattle-poor." No. No, they're not. That's not a thing. Nobody making half a million American dollars is poor. They might be making poor spending choices, but that's not the same.

i remember we found some british porno back in the day it was just a website of jpgs of a nude person getting beans poured on them in a bathtub, it was haunting. theyve been through a lot on that island, they needed this tonight

every World Cup game should be played in the Americas imo

it’s always funny to see European teams drawn into CONCACAF nightmares

it is impossible to post about this game because something else happens before your finish the last thought

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

I would kill or die for Larry

i've seen enough. put every country in the world cup. all of them. make this shit last 3+ months

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?
