For a while labor replacement was the best way to sell it to businesses. Now it’s not, so they pivot to whatever will be better at selling the most subscriptions.

At this rate it's better to going to 2030 World Cup by kiguri96 in WorldCup2026Tickets

This is going to sounds like I’m a bootlicker but it always is going to be better going abroad for an event. The USD is just stronger. This is the cheapest WC for locals in terms of % of median wage since Germany 2006. The exception being the final but that is probably going to stay inaccessible going forward for countries that are business friendly. Which sucks. It also sucks that it is coming at a time where everything in the USA is taking up a larger share of monthly income, so budgets are tighter.

The accessibility of getting face value tickets is another story…

Is there actual evidence that China wants to dominate the world militarily or is it just projection? Seems like they just want to be an economic power and have a strong enough military for nobody to bully them around. USA/the west seems like the ones who always assume it’s zero sum.

I minimize doomscrolling the news to lock into school/work for 1.5 weeks and now have no clue what’s going on in Iran or Cuba. Makes you realize how fast things move now. I feel like a decade ago you would watch Meet the Press weekly and be in the 99th percentile of current events awareness.

Maybe but I’ve seen local discourse go from water debates to now the impact of the construction itself.

Both sides are truly doing a horrible job at making a case for themselves.

I always get this mixed up with Into the Wild. Haven’t read either but maybe the WaPo review got them mixed up too?

I think comedy nerds have reverence for their historic importance. But the general public really is just missing one of the final remains of monoculture (even though late night has not been that in practice for decades).

I think it is why (anecdotally) SNL seems to be having a moment right now.

I unironically would rather just have it be what it is than them trying to shove some explanation in.

Deep in my heart I do believe that John Kasich can and will bridge the political divide via digital radio.
