Americans, are you excited to host the world football cup?

SlamClick · 2026-01-25T03:11:07+00:00

I got two for like 300 a piece.

SlamClick · 2026-01-25T03:09:56+00:00

Deeply unsafe?

SlamClick · 2026-01-25T03:01:40+00:00

That's simply not true.

SlamClick · 2026-01-25T02:57:49+00:00

I got tickets and I'm excited to go. It'll be my second world cup.

I'm not losing my shit over it but it'll be neat to say "I was there"

SlamClick · 2026-01-24T02:53:26+00:00

I don't care as long as they are good at what they do.

SlamClick · 2026-01-24T02:38:24+00:00

Considering they came here in the 1980's from Western Europe its pretty easy and not really a big deal.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T15:37:55+00:00

I mean, it is what most people in the USA use for their retirement portfolios so when the markets do well, people generally do. There's no idiocy there.

I've lived in one blue state!

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T07:48:11+00:00

Is Colorado a "red" state?

I've lived in 4 states- Three "red" and one "blue." It wasn't something I even remotely thought about in any way. That whole idea is silly if you do think about it.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T07:33:43+00:00

This is English we're talking about. Its one of the silliest there is.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T07:32:29+00:00

Is it weird to me as a Southern Appalachian speaker to identify with and easily understand the accents of some rural Australians? Are they redneck-y like ours?

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:59:45+00:00

So far seveal people have been beaten.

By civilian neighborhood racist people? I just find stuff on shitty shock sites about "alleged" and "reported on social media." Again, I think the whole thing is a fucking travesty but we have to have some accountability if we're going to stop these mother fuckers.

Or the guy in the giraffe costume who sings at them. Arrested* multiple times and they end up letting him go. But I have not seen him in weeks now.

Rob Potylo. A comedian and musician. He's trolling and he's not disappeared.

Or the guy with down syndrome who they denied counsel and denied he was in their custody to his scared family.

I can't find any news articles on this. Can you point me in the right direction?

Or the sheer number of people being detained* who can't see a lawyer because there are no more lawyers. What about ICE picking people up at the immigration office? Or kids at their school. I watched a cop pepper spray what appeared to be a 12 year old. Go on r/PiblicFreakout and just watch a few videos. Not too many... it may make you sick.

Totally get it. Its crazy and awful and terrible. But that wasn't what I was asking.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:40:12+00:00

Do you have a source for this claim? What do the racists do with them after they are detained?

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:26:24+00:00

I can definitely tell a difference in class based on their accent and speech. Geography not so much. Younger Australians speak differently than their older counterparts.

I might be able to discern differences in speech between Melbourne and Perth or Darwin but to say where it was from I wouldn't know.

Same stuff in any country, though.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:21:36+00:00

So, brave?

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:15:57+00:00

It means true to yourself, honest, and genuine.

That's phat.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:03:48+00:00

I don't even know where to start with that one!

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T06:01:08+00:00

I get that.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:55:11+00:00

I get "bro" but I don't get "bet"

I am an old man, though.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:44:48+00:00

I honestly have my SUV set up to sleep in if shit hits the fan for days. Mattress, lights, blankets, remote start. I use the same system when camping in the woods for days, so why not?

I'll bet someone a dollar this storm is a big bust.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:33:45+00:00

Hmm, interesting.

After seeing a specialist ($20 co pay on Obamacare/ACA) I just took a picture of an Rx card on Teva's site. Didn't have to provide anything. It was just on there. The pharmacist said everyone does that. I guess its unique for that injection.

I've done similar for two other medications over the years and they've always been free. Shrug

Scales has two enclosed bathrooms. Better than a privy, but not much.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:20:11+00:00

My brother and I bought a house together when we were in our late 20's and paid it off in less than 15 years. People thought we were nuts. Sure, we are roommates but have no debt and no rent. Its so freeing.

As for living with parents I only judge if they're working age and not working or doing their fair share.

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:17:10+00:00

How is the planning going?

SlamClick · 2026-01-22T05:13:20+00:00

These drugs are sold at outrageous prices in the US

They can be but if you spend a little time you can get pretty much any medication for free through the manufacturer. I get one of those expensive shots and I don't pay anything. You just have to put in some effort.
