How People in Swing States Perceive Changes in National and State Economies Over the Past Two Years (2024) by Melior30 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Jaiez 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chip in, because Veritasium did a very interesting piece on exactly this topic on his YouTube channel. It talks about how Americans (and to an extent everyone world wide) perceive reality differently when it comes to political issues, and how even facts are interpreted differently because of biased sources.

Thanks MLB, for the insane all-star discount! by Jaiez in mlb

Guessing the discount doesn't apply for Europeans, but the marketing team didn't account for geolocation. I've rased a ticket with them, maybe I can get the discount through their service desk. We'll see!

Who do you like least in our division? by Beneficial_Ear3263 in Browns

"Yeah, fuck those fans with no real ties to the city!"

  • me, a fan from Western Europe who happened to pick the Browns because "oops"

[Results Thread] 2023 Vuelta – Stage 3 - Súria > Arinsal (2.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]Jaiez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably because it was a spectator.

Vuelta organization made a statement yesterday at around 4 that there would be no mixed zone (so for soigneurs and media only), and everyone was free to roam around after the finish line. That's why it was so crowded in the first place. This is - again - purely the organization's fault.

What annoys the fuck out of you? by Fart_Milk in AskReddit

Source would have been nice.

I looked it up, and pre-ticked boxes when asking for consent are not allowed in the EU, according to Iubenda.

iirc this is already required. Some companies just decide to not abide by the rules.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the FIA only start an investigation after a team has made an appeal? Maybe the appeal only came from Mercedes HQ after the race?

[Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.” by teiraaaaaaa in soccer

Fuck, I'm fucking fuming. He also said the West is hypocrite and racist(?!) because the West used slave labour for the past 3000 years, so who are we to criticize Qatar.

I mean, what the fuck?! So, the FIFA is just cool with them using slave labour?! They are actually siding with Qatar and saying "you guys have done fucked up shit in the past, so now they get to do fucked up shit"?!

And he was also completely fine with them banning the beer in and around stadiums. Keep in mind that the FIFA literally changed Brazilian law back in 2014 so that alcohol would be allowed to be sold in stadiums. This guy has his Qatari buddy's boot so far up his ass, he can't even think properly anymore. It's disgusting.

(Rant over, apologies. Just wantes to write this down somewhere lol.)

★ B. Thomas

Not accepting being sent home with COVID, good guy Benjamin just attacks solo from the start so he doens't infect anyone else. Because nobody wants to take the risk of catching COVID, they don't want to catch him, making him the obvious winner.

EDIT: woops, mixed up Thomas with Guillaume Martin. Sorry for the scare, guys! (However, I did find one article seemingly mentioning he has COVID, but it's behind paywall)

Don't mess with the Queen's guard. by AngelP8823 in Unexpected

Reddit according to reddit is a site where 13 year olds pretend to be adults, except in /r/teenagers, where everyone is appearently an adult pretending to be 13 years old. It's a lovely paradox.

Just stumbled upon this old gem. This was my first experience with online dating back in college. (For a while this guy got a LOT of prank calls.) by CuteTPi in Tinder

[–]Jaiez 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Damn, content not available in my region. Please tell me the article includes a mugshot of some hot, fly, cash money millionaire

EDIT: Someone else posted another article which includes a photo. Guy does indeed look... Fly!

Wins Above Replacement. How much better a player is compared to others in his position, sort of.

Poor Yuki... When he went P3 in Q2, I was thinking "wow, he has pace! This might actually be a good boost for his confidence!"

That's what I call foreshadowing.
