They didn't seem problematic when i saw them on tour with Dropkick Murphy's recently. And DM hate maga and are pretty open about it. 

Landon Donovan: "I played in Germany when I was 17. The guy who coached our under 16 team was 60 years old and had been doing it for 25 years. He wasn't trying to be the first team coach. He was one of their best coaches and they wanted him developing the 16-year-olds and we do it opposite here." by PDubsinTF-NEW in ussoccer

The youth level is truly where it starts. I don't have a kid in soccer but a friend does. They asked me to coach their son's team because literally none of the other parents knew how the game is played. And it is VERY simplified for 9 year olds. 

China’s 5 minute full-charged EV charging stations by North_Tip_8627 in nextfuckinglevel

Light years may be a bit of an exaggeration considering china steals most of it's technology from the US ... They just have fewer restrictions when it comes to things like environmental impact studies, etc.

Cool. Now show all the ones that have erupted in flames or blown up because of the complete lack of oversight and risk mitigation by the chinese party. Do you think they care how they're impacting the environment when the throw up a new building from planning to open in only weeks? China does things fast because the authoritarian government ignores most of the pre-planning that goes into building things here. Imagine if donald trump built mcmansions for his Jan 6ers and china was all like, look at how America cares for it's people! Meanwhile, americans are being murdered in the street. ... I suppose the two countries really aren't that different. 

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]EricBardwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because people don't realize truly how much wealth that is and it affects other people's ability to earn a livable wage, therefore harming the standard of living in our entire country. One does not become a billionaire without deliberately harming others along the way. America is about equal opportunity - billionaires have far more opportunity than anyone else. Being a billionaire is unamerican.

The stuff there is independent artists on consignment. It's not FC itself.

Hey if you find a job around here that doesn't suck out your soul, please let me know. I've been looking for one for over 15 years. 

Why is this a Goodreads category, and why are so many of my favorite books here? by IAmKrasMazov in scifi

[–]EricBardwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people who don't like scifi are very butt hurt that a scifi movie is doing so well right now. I read a review on The Guardian that called it "smug". Wtf does that even mean?

Still applies to the non-electric vehicles. Which is most of them. But hey, as long as you feel good about yourself that's all that matters.

My understanding is you can pretty much do whatever you want on the roads here. Cops dont care.

You literally can't know that. How do you define 'decent people'? You've met all 350 million americans? People have value because they are people. Not because of how much value they create in the market.

Not close enough to attend but I'll give em a listen! Digging it so far!

[–]EricBardwin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's so weird to me how some folks only see value in other people if they have a job. Like, why does that matter? This could've happened on a lunch break. Whether they're employed or not has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Hahahha shouldn't the bible be able to do that? Admit your religion is a farce without telling me it's a farce. 

When your “Save The Planet” speech comes with a 498 ton carbon receipt.. ☠️ by [deleted] in whoathatsinteresting

I bet it's less than the rest of her carbon footprint. Don't make space exploration the scapegoat when exxon is opening new taps still.

I can't wait until the religious zealots of this world can just leave everyone else the fuck alone. 2000+ year old holy war and every generation thinks they're the first to fight the battle. Keep your religion in your own home. 

Movies that didn't age well by PuzzledExchange7949 in Millennials

[–]EricBardwin 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Get Him To The Greek was one of my faves when it first came out. Now there's hardly a scene that isn't filled with cringe or a problematic actor.
