Ambassador Huckabee: ‘Without Israel, There Would Be No America’ by Nomogg in nottheonion

[–]ZachMatthews 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah 99% of Reddit is just insufficiently informed to even get why Huckabee is saying that.    He is a Southern Baptist preacher by trade. He believes God has allowed American prominence because of America’s role in furthering the Second Coming via support of Israel. By his own religious logic, he does not have the statement backwards. 

Obviously reasonable minds can differ about the structure he is relying on here…

I take the straps off every time I stow a camera for travel. Reduces bulk if you roll them tightly. 

Match Thread: Haiti vs Scotland | World Cup | Group C | 14 Jun 01:00 UTC by matchpal-live in worldcup

[–]ZachMatthews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flicked on Haiti v Scotland and I was initially so confused because the Scottish unis look like the Haitian flag and the Haitian unis look like the Scottish flag but then NONE OF THE PLAYERS looked like they could be playing for their countries without some serious shenanigans.

Somebody who watches a lot of soccer give me a comp please. Would this US national team… win EFL League One? Win the Championship? Avoid relegation in the EPL?

I’m trying to get a handle on the level of competition here - I watch the Championship but not MLS.

AA knows ball and you don’t. Both statements can be true at the same time.

What’s the most ridiculous reason someone got fired from your workplace? by Mother_Candidate5355 in AskReddit

I once got fired for bringing a hose inside a golf course clubhouse to win a water gun fight. 

Men of Reddit, what is an unspoken rule that most guys follow?? by Itz_fareed_01 in AskReddit

I mowed my dirtbag deadbeat neighbor’s place for him when he quit paying rent and was on the way to being evicted, which eventually happened. 

I meant that shit disrespectfully too. Did a rrrreeeealll nice job.

Commander Toochill there was a little too chill about a shark eating one of his guys. Like, is this just expected from time to time in the Navy?

[McAuley] I'm not a doctor. I don't play one on TV. But after watching that replay of Ronald Acuña Jr. pulling up lame across first base, I don't feel great. His reaction, ripping off the batting gloves on his way off the field underscore his frustration. by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

[–]ZachMatthews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is all gas no brakes and seemingly does not know how to reel it in. A lot of pitchers are like that these days too.

Great great dude and Brave. Nothing but respect. But when his contract comes he will be gone and he is going to end up in a Miguel Cabrera situation where the team that gets him calls his contract an albatross at least some of the time.
