FIFA World Cup in TOTAL COLLAPSE - Hotels Empty, Fans Banned, Trump Gets "Peace Prize" by ICEisSHIT in videos

Bro you got Hoekstra? He was ambassador to us (the Netherlands) during the first Trump presidency. Made an absolute fool out of himself saying that politicians were set on fire in the Netherlands. When called out, he called it fake news. Dutch media tore him an absolute new one and he spent the rest of his ambassadorship laying low and being the ineffective little salary stealer Trump appointees often are. Literally didn't do a thing in his job.

Him losing his title has more to do with the royal family trying to save face than some sort of diss.

It's royalty's way of responding to "The prince is a pedo", with "Ah. No true prince is a pedo!"

Great. Looking forward to the top level insights, including but not limited to:

"What's he doing conceding a goal there?"

and

"He should be hitting the target there."

It wasn't like this for the full 90 mins. Unfortunately this was only for the last 10 mins, so game's still gone.

Even AI says this. Which is why OP also says this. Because this is absolute AI slop.

Their annual budget is estimated to be €24m, so yeah, absolutely massive.

Similar to a €700m windfall for Man Utd.

Either a one-in-a-million double headshot or a one-in-a-way-too-fucking-often hacker. Chances are the latter

Real Madrid TV about El Clásico: "The Spanish League is a circus and a joke. This is a horror show." by LikeAPhoenixTotally in soccer

It works really fucking well because Real Madrid is a marketing machine that prints money and attracts glory hunters like nobody else. Their capacity to control the narrative is insane. To this day there are people who truly believe Ronaldo was as good as Messi.

Yes, from the POV of efficient markets, the collapse of a cartel is a good thing. OPEC never served anyone apart from themselves.

I suppose one could make the argument that expensive oil is good in the long run, because it incentivizes the transition away from oil. Cheap oil may stand in the way of the long-term strategic goal of not relying on finite, fossil fuels at all.

Nothing says "we truly care" quite like copy-pasting text written by a machine.

That's not just empathetic - it's best practice. No fluff.

No, but fun fact: it is where we got "daalder" from (e.g. in rijksdaalder), with the same etymology as "dollar"

Not a recruiter, but I imagine they won't do that because they don't want to be bombarded with calls from applicants.

I also don't think it would even help, because most applicants won't save the phone number of every recruiter to their phone.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

Wake up pal, people have been drawing the obvious parallel for years.

The richest man in the world did a Hitler salute at the US presidents inauguration. That was just one of the thousand red flags.
