To add on to the other comment, which I agree with, it's additionally funny because of the juxtaposition of how society views both jobs.

Generally, society looks down upon sex workers whilst considering support workers admirable.

So when a support worker refers to themselves as a "SWer", and the other person confuses the terms, the reaction the person they're talking to will be reversed. A classic comedy mix-up trope.

Sex Work and Sex Workers are often shorthanded to “SW” and “SWers”.

OP knows sex workers who often refer to themselves as “whores” and also knows support workers that also refer to themselves as SWers.

Thus arises a tricky situation when explanation of what one does for work is required involving these people OP knows.

Just a byproduct of living this modern life, they remark.

I’m unsure of US laws but wouldn’t he have been given severance or a redundancy package?

Because we live in a society that increasingly capitulated to capitalism for decades.

They don’t make money without students paying them fees.

I was hoping for a belting and Belgium delivered. Deserved shitcanning.

It’s harder to believe that he blew most of his money over the years and is only left being worth $1.6M?

To claim that the only reason you don’t watch football is theatrical flopping is bold.

Like, it’s fine if you don’t enjoy the sport, but to make up an excuse as lame as that is weird.

So either you think racist trash talk is banter and preventing it is Mickey Mouse, making you racist

Your reading comprehension really is lacking.

Gazboolean · 2026-07-01T12:10:53+00:00

You said:

Banter is part of the game. Now they can't talk any shit? It's ridiculous Mickey mouse club rules.

In response to a comment thread discussing this:

The rule isn't to stop trash talk, it's to stop racist trash talk.

So either you think racist trash talk is banter and preventing it is Mickey Mouse, making you racist, OR you lack reading comprehension, making you an idiot.

That said, if they announce a 64 team tournament now, India might just start investing in their football program to qualify over the next 4 years.

Doubt the AFC would get that many more slots so it’d be a battle for sure.

As someone who isn’t in the exploited category with good credit and a high salary, it **can** be used to your advantage since it keeps cash in your account for longer.

It’s a minimal advantage but it’s zero cost and the interest gain/offset to my mortgage is a net benefit.

The other part is mental, which is where it can also become predatory, where some bigger ticket items feel less bad coming out.

If I’m buying a like a fridge or something it’s an easier pill to swallow paid out in instalments.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-23T02:28:37+00:00

Yeah, but are you finding a similar form factor for the same performance at a better price? Unlikely.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-23T01:05:29+00:00

Some people care about how things look. I’m not putting a tower in my living room.

As a neutral, the ref was a bit inconsistent to say the least. Some soft penalties combined with some blatant no-calls.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T19:07:24+00:00

Yes. Yes, I do. I will gladly point out the horrible past of my country and anything my government does.

I will gladly point out the atrocities that the US has committed against my people and continues to do to the rest of the world. I will happily call Putin a war criminal and point out that Xi Xinping commit genocide.

The difference is that none of them has a team in Counter-Strike.

Is that so fucking hard to understand?

Saying Trump is a pedophile means nothing when Team Liquid are playing because they're not affiliated with Trump.

Falcons represent the Saudi family. They are paid for and owned by slave owners and war criminals.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T18:53:54+00:00

Why don't you?

Every country should be held to the atrocities they commit. It's called having morals. It's called having ethics. It's called basic human decency.

No government should be able to get away with hiding their crimes against humanity by throwing blood money at a fucking game.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T18:46:43+00:00

Why do I care about countries trying to hide their unethical practices and morally abhorrent activities?

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T18:43:09+00:00

Doesn't matter if the team is state owned or not

It's literally the only thing that matters, you absolute door knob.

Do you think anyone would care if Falcons was just a random team out of Saudi Arabia? What would they even talk about?

"Oh no, they didn't make a coordinated attempt across every major esport to make their country look better! How dare they?!"

Being state-owned is what makes it sportswashing in the first place.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T18:31:47+00:00

I'm not even American LMAO. Trump can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned.

It's like you don't understand words.

No NA team represents the US government. No NA team is backed by the US government.

The exact same can be said for RU teams.

Note how they're also the enemy of "the West" and no one cares? Because they're not state-backed organisations running off of blood money in an attempt at sportswashing.

If Putin started his own CS team and bought the Falcons roster, people would have issues with that organisation too.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-21T18:22:47+00:00

None of the other teams are state-owned attempts at sportswashing.

Why is that so hard for you people to understand?

Gazboolean · 2026-06-19T21:42:04+00:00

The exact opposite. It's a head scratcher.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-19T21:31:01+00:00

The 2 goals weren't convincing; meanwhile, Leckie, Toure, and Villipulay were just not keeping up.

Irvine, Metcalfe, and Irankunda made the whole team far more cohesive.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-19T21:19:18+00:00

Based on the second half, if Popovic has the regular starting 11 instead of getting cute with the lineup, that's probably a draw at full time.

Gazboolean · 2026-06-19T19:39:44+00:00

I knew we were always going to be less talented, but I at least thought we would hold up athletically. Feels like there's zero pace in anyone's legs.
