Hi! Whatever I said that caused you to end up here, I promise I'm not always like that......
On the Road is transcendent but Kerouac was by all accounts an S-tier prick. The Belgariad is delightful but David Eddings has some extremely unpleasant stories floating around.

every time someone mentions the odyssey in a negative light in some way shape or form they always mention "people who have READ the odyssey would never like this" and i love to remind them i am both a christopher nolan fanboy AND someone who has read five separate translations of homer

A core goal of the last 40 years of Republican political effort has been 1) to argue that government is inherently dangerous and unable to help people, and 2) to continually break it on purpose in ways that seem to prove the argument.

The way normal people choose which team to support 1) where I'm from 2) where my family is from 3) the one with that player like 4) had a really nice time there on that one trip How BSKY nerds choose which team to support: 1) some 500 year old war or treaty
There’s a kind of person that will get mad at a car for trying to keep you from killing yourself and others, and I found one of them.

It has *internal* cameras with facial recognition software that watch both the driver and front passenger. If the driver appears to be sleepy, the car will nag you to take a break. Now imagine your car sending data to your insurance co.
The more I watch other teams (Argentina in this case) the more I realize that the USMNT did not have the midfield skills to challenge Belgium effectively. The remaining teams all have the confidence to accurately pass into traffic and create opportunities that the US team just did not display.
Ok fine ALSO BEER But to be fair, if this is the metric then Argentina are in trouble.
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · last mo.watched a Belgian fan say "we have been making beer centuries longer than they have been a country" and ykw, fair play
Ultimately it’s true that the USMNT and all the fans would have been better off with Balogun out and the US able to righteously claim we were screwed by the call, win or lose. We looked rattled, out of form, and our best striker tentative and mostly invisible. Better if he has stayed banned.
Whoever set the USA keeper’s Kicking slider to Low is going to have some explaining to do after this game I tell you what.
Bah, Belgium sucks! what does Belgium even have? Besides Hercule Poirot… really good chocolate… bunch of good soccer players I GUESS. Pleasant weather… national healthcare… they seem pretty friendly… But OTHER THAN THAT
Happy Independence Day to everyone trying to make tommorow's nation better than yesterday's.

What a match!!! Cabo Verde showing their mettle. Incredible effort, energy, fearlessness. Just wonderful to watch.

Unquestionably the best part of WC tourism posting is this genre right here. Y'all, Europe is wonderful in so many ways. Australia I'm sure is exceptional too. Despite everyone conspiring to ruin it, there's also a lot to love here at home, and I'm super glad that they're getting to see a bit.
