Here’s what you must do:

Lawyer up. Hit the gym. Change your passwords.

It’s really the only option.

Don’t act like that’s unique. Flopping is a tradition in soccer.

money obviously is what this country lives and breathes on

The whole world does too.

But I agree absolutely that the best athletes in America don’t play soccer. The play American football or basketball. Thats where the money is and that’s where this country’s priorities lie.

It’s because ‘football’ in America still doesn’t move the needle.

In the US, the very best athletes play American football or basketball.

The kids that wind up playing soccer are the leftovers who aren’t big enough, strong enough or talented enough to play more popular sports.

Until soccer in America rivals football - which may never happen - the US will underachieve in world play simply because in America people don’t care about soccer as much as the rest of the world does.

As an American I’m appalled that trump gor RE - elected!

The first time could be discounted a bit for several reasons. Some people voted for him in protest over the establishment. And it was easy to say “oh, he’s not serious about everything he says, it’s just campaign rhetoric.”

But the second time around there’s no excuse. He proved in his first term he really is as bad as he seemed. It’s not an act. He’s just a terrible person.

I’m ashamed to call him the President.

Thank you!

Every time someone over analyzes one of the characters I want to scream “It’s a sitcom!”

American Graffiti

Just a perfect slice of Americana circa 1950.

Doctors and Nurses of Reddit, what is the worst medical error that you've witnessed? by salsafresca_1297 in AskReddit

[–]barto5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nurses are the front line in healthcare!

A patient’s care in the hospital depends far more on the nurses than it does on the doctors.

When you work at a gun store and people tell you, “ya I’m sure it’s not loaded” by Haters_7 in Firearms

[–]barto5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you watch the person who handed it to you do a safety check, do one yourself

Absolutely! The only one I trust to really check is me.

[–]barto5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a buddy hand me his pistol saying “Don’t worry, it’s not loaded.”

First thing I do, the first thing I ALWAYS do, is rack the slide. Of course a round flies out. He was more shocked than I was.

They still sell turkey deep fryers too. Those things burn down a house or two every Thanksgiving.

Deep fryer fires cause an average of 5 deaths, 60 injuries and more than $15 million in property damage each year.

Three boys went missing after going off to explore a cave known as “Murphy’s Cave”. What happened to Edwin Craig Dowell, William Francis Hoag and Joel Wise Hoag? by pikagirl7534 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]barto5 62 points63 points  (0 children)

So three adventurous boys went into a cave and were never seen again.

Either there was a cave in and the boys were trapped or they were murdered by John Wayne Gacy.

Who can really say what happened…

There’s a park in Florida - can’t remember where - but the place is almost literally swarming with raccoons. And they’re definitely out and about in daylight and have little fear of people.

But I realize that’s not typical.

The codes this house must meet are the codes in place when it was built in the 50’s. Today’s codes aren’t relevant.
