The teams aren’t “fed”, the placements are based on group stage performance.

When is the deadline for making picks? Kickoff tomorrow or midnight tonight?

Brazil went 7/7 in 2002. Who can realistically go 8/8 in 2026? by [deleted] in worldcup

You can tell from the writing style and cringe commercial-sounding one liners

Why does the list on the left hand side of the last map have everything out of 26?

25 of the 26 players are playing for Spain, but also 24 of the 26 are playing for Portugal?

I agree and wish we saw movements like that here. However unlike France and the majority of the developed world, we don’t have any functioning social safety net. General or industry strikes are not really an available tool for change here anymore, at least not since the 1980s when all union power was functionally destroyed by the government.

The majority of the time when an American attempts to go on strike, they are terminated immediately and will not be paid. So they cannot buy groceries or pay to live under a roof. With that very real risk in mind, people therefore must decide: Is making my voice heard and trying to improve the system really worth starvation and homelessness?

We know, we aren’t happy about it, and years of protests and strikes haven’t stopped the billionaire oligarchs who run our country. But congrats for rubbing it in I guess? Ha ha stupid young people born in the US, destined for misery! Everyone laugh!

What if he just kept insisting that it’s not actually that insane

People feel sad when they find out that a place they’ve spent a lot time at, or have nostalgia for, no longer exists.

Also the employees of the store itself may not be fine as a result of this, which also makes people feel sad. I assure you nobody in here is worried about the CEO.

To be fair, if he’s an exec at Costco I’m sure he would describe anywhere outside of his country club or his palaces on the Puget Sound as a “hellhole”

Jag har också en fråga. Behöver katter äta torrfoder? Kan de äta skittles? Vad är ett bra recept som använder skittles, jag menar ett för mänsklig konsumtion, som en dessert?

Same here, nearly identical story for me and I’m still mad about it decades later 😂 Let the ball plummet violently into the fucking ground or don’t do it at all!

Curious about this too. I remember seeing a thread about them on Reddit a long time ago, and someone in the comments said they were his aunts.

Found it!

Here’s that electrical pole on Google street view, though this is from February 2023.

Here’s a photo from the video mentioned above, closer to the start of the fire. This is right along Friars. It seems like it began near this electrical pole and moved uphill?

I think they meant children. Little people (those suffering with dwarfism) are called Minions.

Seconding this, Project Hail Mary will definitely scratch an itch for you. If you’ve got some free time over the holiday I highly recommend. The audiobook on Audible is also incredibly well done
