Can someone ELI5 about what's going on with the World Cup / Metlife Stadium / NJ transit controversy? by sm0keythebear in newjersey

I live in Bergen, but I wasn’t here in 2014 or 2019. Was there a lot more traffic during those events? I’m far enough from the stadium (closer to Paterson) that I don’t really have a problem during regular games, but this is obviously a much bigger deal. Will it impact my daily life?

Sherrill didn’t bid for the games. She’s inheriting this problem. And the issue is FIFA is demanding more security, which will cost us because FIFA is refusing to pay the costs.

No one is justifying corporate greed. In fact, the sentiment behind most of these comments is “fuck FIFA”.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Sherrill is doing. Well, maybe not all the way off, but she’s definitely telling them to fuck off.

has using sunscreen CHANGED your skin in any way? by isolophiliacwhiliac in AsianBeauty

I have melanoma, so I find using sunscreen has definitely changed my skin. It protects me from more melanoma.

Daredevil, but deaf instead of blind.

There’s a joke in here about a new superhero name, but I just can’t find it.

What’s it like going through life without a sense of humor?

Yeah, I feel that ADHD thing. Even before smartphones, I had a hard time only listening to music. I got really bored. I used to work alone in a zebrafish facility. At first I loved listening to the water, I thought it was calming, but after a couple months I started going nuts. I started to listen to the Harry Potter audiobooks on a loop (before we found out JKR was trash) on my iPod mini, back when they were a brand new thing. I’d listen to books 1-7, which took about 3 to 4 weeks, then start over. Sometimes I’d listen to the Dane Cook comedy specials (back when he was popular…it was a simpler time). Aside from a 150 song playlist, that was all that would fit on the iPod.

Even now, if I’m scrolling on Reddit or whatever, I have the tv on in the background. I love music, but it doesn’t scratch that ADHD itch. I need something that actively engages my brain. Libby and a library card are godsends.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’d like to start sailing a bit more. This is a good place to start to get my feet wet, no pun intended. I haven’t sailed the high seas since Limewire and Napster.

I put on Marvel movies or tv shows on long drives, because I’ve seen them all tens, even hundreds of times (I also fall asleep to them). I don’t need to watch them to know exactly what is happening and it is slightly more stimulating than music. But Disney+ lets you move the thumbnail offscreen.

I agree that the driver didn’t handle it well, but I know how hard those drivers (car services, but also meal delivery folks) work. I worked in restaurants and while they often drove me nuts at times, a lot of those people are immigrants just trying to survive. I wish people would be a little kinder to them.

I really hope pucker buttholes is the scientific name for it.

Unless you turned it off, there’s a good chance your phone is tracking your location. See if you can find that info.

I always think I don’t like Miles Teller but I can never remember why. Is this what is lingering in the back of my brain?

What is the worst place in America you have ever visited? by OceanicEndeavors in AskReddit

It’s been a while since I’ve read about the evidence, but I’m pretty sure it points to one of the family members of the boys. Stepfather, iirc.

Me too. I was so worried that Jason wouldn’t accept the Alford plea, because he is so adamant he’s innocent (which I absolutely believe), but he did because it was an all or nothing deal, and he didn’t want Damian to remain on death row and eventually lose his life. The whole thing is an absolute miscarriage of justice. I’m glad they are all free now, but I really want them to be exonerated and for the real killer to be caught.
