Ppl on here only analyze Woke 1 in the context of social media bc they do not have corporate jobs. The actual issue with Woke 1 for non-media-poisoned people was how openly disingenuous corporate DEI was. Whole consulting firms and departments that did nothing but collect a check and say folx.

Extremely impressed with BlueSky developers’ ability to create the slowest website on earth when it’s 99.999% text. It sure does remind me of another microblogging site coded by anarcho-dipshits with no distributed systems skills

One important caveat: it’s nearly impossible to tell or trust what IS high quality & long-lasting now when you are ready to spend more, if a high quality option still exists at all.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

our age of bros is collapsing

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

Maybe I can help. Vaccines are a product of natural sciences that study unchanging physical properties and while imperfect, are the best chance we have at understanding the world around us. Economics, however, is simply astrology for pedophiles

oliver@eikopf.com · 2mo ago

very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if you’re not an expert, you don’t get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!

This is enough money for like 3 shipyard consultants to get on the phone for an hour about where we might build

Guaranteed the woke baker was getting flack for all his stuff tasting like maple :/

I visited a maple farm in Vermont once and they said that maple sugar was popular among abolitionists because it didn’t use slave labor, which sugarcane did.

Separate from any value judgment about the movie itself, this type of animation is grotesque to me

Spain simply has simply played the most beautiful style football of any national team for the past 20 years straight. Just an absolute joy unless you’re a wing-to-to-corner-to-cross English football sicko

I’m gonna ruin the fun by being a language nerd: demon and monster are actually the same exact word that we extracted in two different ways for no reason. In Latin plays a demon/monster would appear and just basically say what happened and move the plot a long. Demon/monster=exposition.

𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚊𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚕 𓅇@adderallblack.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Demonstrably" is objectively the scariest word bc it essentially has "demon" and "monster" in it - just bad vibes all around

This is “anti-racism” for brunch liberals: 1. Treat black people as a monolith 2. Claim that black people have magical omniscient political powers 3. Assume that black people can only possibly support or be helped by a black politician

I'm still waiting to hear your credentials that make you a greater expert on racism than Black people.

Harry Kane represents so many men who need to see a middle aged dude with highlights and a weird tan on their TV

"this whole thing smacks of CONCACAF," I holler as I overturn my uncle's barbecue grill and turn the World Cup into the Cup of Shit

The “Bellingham is lazy/quits/bad attitude” was always typical European racism but it’s still nice to see him be able to put a performance like that on in face of the shit he’s taken

England is running a haramball low block start the discourse engines

Throwing my “FIFA IS NOT CORRUPT” pennant in the trash

can't wait to get back to the corruption-free premier league where i can watch abu dhabi's man city take on evangelos marinakis' nottingham forest.

Harry Kane looks like a Hapsburg the generation before it got really bad.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Harry Kane looks like a villain James Spader would’ve played in a John Hughes movie

actual take i have: america engaging in naked corruption to benefit the men’s national team is proof that we’re finally a Serious Football Nation and it’s making the euros nervous

Lmao this is about 0.000001% as corrupt as a single NCAA season or any other World Cup so wanting Flo Balogun wrongfully punished because of politics is really fucking weird behavior

EileenSaysHi@eileensayshi.bsky.social · 3mo ago

If you don’t get where national leaders putting their thumb on the scale to rig the game for their team is worse than one player having to sit out one match over a bad call then i can’t help you bud

People are acting literally insane about a young exciting player who was wrongfully suspended getting to play because they can only view the entire world through Trump Bad lens

EileenSaysHi@eileensayshi.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I hope Pochettino’s rep is ruined, i hope the US is permanently discredited in international football, and I now hope Belgium wins the entire World Cup.

Odegaard working hard to prove that Norway really does have only one good player

it’s so important that we do not overlook the fact that this is all var’s fault

This is just like when FIFA arbitrarily lifted Ronaldo's red card suspension except it makes the team better

you know who else made a call to a higher power to reverse a penalty for us

Maybe I’ve been watching college football too long to really understand why folks are clutching pearls at a red card suspension or whatever.

Have goalkeepers figured out stutter-step PKs??? The eye test said they are doing way better against them this cup but I wanna see some stats

I hate this pathetic BlueSky circlejerk, it never should have been a red or a suspension it’s completely within the rules to reverse the suspension

Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · 3mo ago

America was never going to truly become a Soccer Nation until we strong-armed FIFA in a completely corrupt transaction that benefits us at the expense of the concept of fairness. So, congrats to us!
