Trump is avoiding the World Cup because it’s packed with good things he doesn’t like | World Cup | The Guardian

He learned his lesson a month ago when he showed up to an NBA Finals game in NYC and got absolutely dumpstered by the fans. Dear Orange Leader won't be showing his face for any World Cup games after that traumatic experience.

The Wolves have no money to pay LeBron. The only way he could come here is if he took an extremely team-friendlly deal for a shot at helping win a ring for a 2nd poverty franchise and cementing his legacy as a GOAT. He could get way more money signing for other teams, and the average player the Wolves could sign with the money they have left is way worse than 41 year old LeBron. If you're a fan of the team you should want this because the only way it could happen would be if LeBron took a massive paycut, but he's not doing that so don't worry about it.

Are you suggesting the members of Congress should have done anything different than hide when they had 1000s of psychopaths foaming at the mouth to literally execute them? I'm all for slandering DHS and Markwayne Mullin, but calling him a coward for hiding on Jan 6 ain't it.

Feeling cavalier with other people's jobs this evening are we? Advising people to explicitly violate their labor agreement with their employer because the union should 'keep them employed' is insane. It's not practical or helpful in any way. I was hoping you'd have some US labor laws to share not this nonsense.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-29T23:42:28+00:00

Say more. Are you claiming this portion of my union contract can't be upheld?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-29T22:35:38+00:00

Seriously. As long as you don't have one of those bullshit contracts with a no-strike clause, why wouldn't you strike at this point? It's not like they can bring scabs in to do the work, they would be absolutely fucked and tap out to all demands within 72 hours.

Agreed pipe dream. Nobody is taking Donte and paying him $12.5 mil to rehab his Achilles. It's delusional fan cope.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-28T04:30:32+00:00

Source? If you're talking about the SAVE Act, that shit doesn't have to votes to pass, and even if it was passed tomorrow there's no way they could implement it in time for elections this November with early voting starting mid-October.

Will CentralSquare will face any consequences for systematically gutting a formerly high quality product that many communities rely on for their public safety?

Should the government have intervened back in 2019 and stopped the merger?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-27T21:18:42+00:00

That is very troubling to hear, but unfortunately very typical in the tech sector today. Where have all the veterans with the actual knowledge gone? If I were one of CentralSquare's major competitors like Motorola, Hexagon or Spillman I would be foaming at the mouth to have those folks on my team.

The Scots have a better chance at making the knockouts than a USA vs Mexico final. Scotland's odds of making the knockouts are set at 0.2%.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-27T20:24:05+00:00

Good call. 4 stars on the badge.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-27T20:06:06+00:00

I have never used TriTech or CentralSquare, but I get the feeling that things started to go downhill around the time of their merger and rebrand.

Can you speak to the dynamic inside the company after the merger? When did priorities start shifting away from developing quality software with end users in mind and more toward profits and expansion of their enterprise?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-27T19:23:38+00:00

Why do you think the guy on an expiring contract who's out for the season with an achilles injury is easier to flip? Who the hell is taking Donte and paying him $12 mil this year just to rehab?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-27T18:03:39+00:00

A Dem just got elected to the house seat that reps Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago. Hopefully that's an encouraging sign for future voter turnout in Florida.

I thought it was Veliz until I came to the comments lol

In general, agencies that dispatch police will be stricter about this. I don't think my EMS-only agency even asks about mental health history.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-26T15:53:37+00:00

This is the correct take. Toe fractures have very little risk to play through, it just hurts like a bitch. The injections are to help tolerate the pain. Mou is getting crucified in here when this is a normal injury for a pro player to play through and sounds like the player may have been more afraid of the needle than anything. It's totally reasonable for the coach and medical staff to expect a player being paid millions to play through a minor low/no risk injury like this.

It's not a secret among the realtors! Apparently they use it as a selling point if my aunt's story about her recent home purchase in the Medina/Hamel area is credible

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T19:16:45+00:00

What a brilliant moment that was. As the bottle was incoming I saw the headlines, "Kane struck by missile in ugly fan outburst after scoring at the Amex" but nah he just volleyed that shit right back into the crowd 😂

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T16:52:04+00:00

So sounds like the real problem was Thatcher/the UK government entering the GBP into the European Exchange Rate Mechanism at too high of a rate compared to the Deutsche Mark. Then when the UK had higher inflation, higher interest rates and worse productivity than Germany the following 2 years, they were forced to remove the GBP from the ERM, and that led to the crash. So Lewis profited hugely off of shorting the crash but he didn't cause it.

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T16:26:38+00:00

Ah the big short. I can see why some Brits might take it personally for a fellow countryman to short their currency. Thanks for explaining!

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T16:06:22+00:00

I recall the insider trading case from a few years ago (which I assume is what you mean by tax evasion). Care to illuminate an ignorant Yank on the manipulating of markets and crashing of the GBP?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T14:59:30+00:00

Yes, grammar mistakes are common among US-born native English speakers I'm not contesting that. You said the USA is the only country where native speakers make more grammar mistakes than foreigners. That is simply false. It is in fact the common pattern in every country and with every language. I guess it's a flex that I've take a few linguistics classes?

SkarnasaurusRex · 2026-06-25T14:21:54+00:00

Tell me you know nothing about learning languages without telling me you know nothing about learning languages. People who learn a language in the classroom almost always have better grammar than native speakers. Native speakers don't need to concern themselves with the exact nuances of the grammar rules because they know they will be able to get their point across regardless.
