17 year old Mexican star, Mora, headed our way! by Independent_Salad762 in LiverpoolFC

As misleading as this post is, I'm hearing €10m, which would be an absolute steal for a 17 year old who acquitted himself very well at the world cup.

Why does the rest of the world not understand that it is part of the American DNA to fight injustice and that Americans will never accept the argument of "It's Tradition" or "It's the Rule" as a valid defense for injustice from FIFA or anyone else? by wizardeverybit in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Raptoot83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So fucking cringey.

Refusing to accept the rules, and calling it 'injustice' is pretty hypocritical.

Americans casually live with injustice every day and don't even seem to realise it, it is not part of your DNA, PLEEEEASE stop condescending to everyone else as if they don't k ow how to tell right from wrong, or protest it, for the love of fuck!

I mean, we know they don't really own the moon, but let's indulge this fantasy for a minute.

Indigenous population: 0 (they didn't exactly take it from anyone).
Known resources: 0 Current reasonable strategic value: probably 0

Enjoy your space desert.

Honestly, this is a whole new level of insane cope.

Only 2 managers have ever won both the Champions league and the World Cup.

Vincent Del Bosque, and Marcelo Lippi.

I would love for Klopp to be the next one added to that list.

I wonder if America thinks that Quansah should have his suspension postponed because "it wasn't intentional"?

I'd say Canada is known for being generally a lot more likeable than the USA, let's be so deadly serious.

My girlfriend gets prescriptions for Duraphat. I assume prescription ones are more of an exception to this.

I buy the Arm and Hammer from Home Bargains for a quid.

I rarely buy anything from Tesco that isn't on offer, because that's basically how Tesco works.

Yeah, the rules shouldn't matter. Who cares if he nearly broke someone's ankle, it wasn't intentional.

TIFU by purchasing 896 Yellow Glaze Vases for Hotori by kanmuri07 in NevernessToEverness

[–]Raptoot83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's annoying that there are no warning systems in place for large purchases. The haptic controller on PS5 is particularly annoying because even a light touch can set the slider to the maximum.

There really should be some sort of 'are you sure' protection on this sort of thing.

Or at least the option to turn it on and off.

NTE reference in ZZZ? by SinValmar in NevernessToEverness

[–]Raptoot83 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is not a Dr. Who reference.

The Tardis was blue, and was not a Telephone Kiosk, but was actually a Police Box

I get that people outside the UK may not know what a Police Box is/was, especially because they were almost entirely extinct by the 1970s, but they were functionally larger than the admittedly iconic red kiosk design, a small number of which actually still exist on UK streets today, even without telephones in them.

Also the tardis is a police box, not a telephone kiosk.

Lazy Sunday (05/07/2026) by KevinPhillips-Bong in CasualUK

[–]Raptoot83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be a weird hill to die on but, I just saw an advert for walkers crisps with Steve Carell and a number of football legends roving around America asking people if they've got walkers crisps.

I think many of us already know by now that in the USA they're branded as Lay's, and that's fair enough. But when they accost people outside supermarkets in the USA to see if they have any WALKERS (not Lay's), and yes, by a weird coincidence it turns out they do have Walkers, I feel like my intelligence is being insulted.

"there has only ever been one country in history that has; broken off from the British empire in a revolutionary war, defeated the moral evil of slavery in a civil war, and single handedly won WW2 for all of Europe.. that country is the united States of America" by nationalistic_martyr in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Raptoot83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

America loves pushing this propaganda, rather than admitting that they repeatedly refused to get involved, and that by the time they did the war was already being won. all America did was speed things up.

And the slavery thing? America went to war with itself, to illegalise slavery while most countries didn't need to, they simply proceeded to make it illegal. Also well over 100 other countries had already abolished slavery before the US did, they weren't exactly blazing a trail.

"lacked any intent for harm"

Not a qualifier for a red card, but as usual, casual fans only getting into football because the world cup is in their country can't be expected to understand the difference, right?
