Yeah, it really doesn’t have all that much to do with football at all lol, more of a plot device than an actual theme.

Ted Lasso is a great stepping stone to get into soccer and also throughout its 3 seasons a great, empathetic critique of toxic masculinity and how racism, homophobia and narcissism affect individuals and groups. The writing, the characters, both the villains and the team members are well written and incredibly funny. One of my favourite shows I didn’t expect really like.

Cougartown is also very funny, I loved Community and had seen Abed reference the show several times before finally watched Cougartown. Lots of clever gags and jokes, well thought out, flawed characters with interesting dynamics and (mis)adventures.

I asked myself the same question, but it’s really not relevant. It was a pretrial jail, ergo, he was innocent at the time of his death.

Also prison shouldn’t be a “and maybe you might die” situation. The punishment is set by a judge, not prison guards or wardens.

That’s a fair point. But in a world that values money above all else, that’s not just a divide in wealth and ownership but a divide in power.

I recently heard it phrased like this:

Capitalism is built on hierarchy, which means someone fundamentally NEEDS to be at the bottom. There is no way around it, someone needs to suffer.

Surprising no one unfortunately…

Did you miss the part where OP said this was in Dubai? I don’t think the commenter you’re replying to carries that view.

In Saudi Arabia, for example, it is illegal to carry sex toys or alcohol even when transiting.

Control + Arrows also moves your text cursor by whole words. Combine it with shift and you can easily select a bunch of text without the mouse.

Another one that took me far too long to learn: Shift + Tab will do the same thing as tab (next element) in reverse

Very much so, I used it when travelling along the west coast of the US a week ago and the only issue I see is that it constantly announces the destination anew when it switches to offline maps and back. As we were leaving SF there was a couple of areas without signal and it just announced the destination like 6 times in 3 minutes. But that’s minor

Not hot but „lauwarm“ or „lukewarm“ is very typical for same day fresh potato salad

At least down here in the south

Putin-fanboys love to say “Ukraine needs to negotiate an end to this war” but like to forget that this war started because RuZZia shat on a treaty ensuring the sovereignty of Ukraine in exchange for their nuclear arms.

This but I just gave them my email to let me know when bands I like are in my area. Super easy to use and very reliable. Even has tiny shows in community centers listed for me

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation

lol why not just not use the middle mouse button? Did you remap it to something else?

Yep, it’s very clear. Far right parties are growing, conservatives are running after them trying to keep their voters by using more and more populist tactics, often crossing the line to keep up with far-right talking points, since they can’t keep their voters with their status-quo, corporations-first policies that they’ve been pushing for decades.

Almost explicitly so, free speech for those who want to scream the N-word and (shadow/) bans for pro-union posters and those critical of musk

Very much so, the Bavarian Conservative Party literally has gone to have talks with republicans to use their election strategies, the German-wide AgD has ramped up their Anti-LGBT campaigning and started to use similar messaging to far-right propaganda networks, e.g. “protect our children”, “pedophiles”, photoshopped images of CSAM at pride events, etc.

As a kid (maybe 6-8) at the beach. My dad was on the shore and I waded out and kept going further and further, until the sand bank fell off and I dropped what felt like 5m underwater and couldn’t find my way back. I wasn’t a bad swimmer but panic set in and I got disoriented. Felt like I was treading water for 15 minutes but it was more like 3 until a family friend saw what was happening and made it out to me to pull me back to the shore.

California Zephyr, the flagship passenger route between Chicago and San Francisco has an average delay of 17 hours

Germany too, barely went higher than 25 and rained for days at times, something I haven’t experienced here in the southwest for half a decade or so at least. Definitely not this long at this time of year
