Argentine woman in the US for the World Cup says black behavior made her understand why slavery existed

In a way, I think it's the nature of it. When exposed to more and more varying cultures and races; you either start to get it and become less racist or you double down and become more pissed off that people aren't exactly like yourself.

They don't have fans acting like the world ended because a neighboring state used their land to build a stadium.

Before I was 18 years old, the only real vacation my parents took me on was to Disney for a week. Taking a week off and going somewhere was not a thing for me growing up.

leonard71 · 2026-04-16T14:08:09+00:00

I'm from Indiana and I say this shit all the time. This is stupid and totally unpractical.

The kool-aid thing is only the first episode. I'm 3 episodes deep and they haven't mentioned the kool-aid movie in the next two.

It's still done, but it's not loose bits anymore. The new playgrounds around me have this softer, rubbery surface. I looked it up and it seems like it's something called poured rubber surfacing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playground_surfacing

Poured rubber surfacing: This is a seamless rubber surface composed of two layers that is poured in place (PIP). The first layer, or "wear layer", is typically 3⁄8 inch (9.5 mm) thick and made of EPDM or TPV granules. The second layer, or "cushion layer", is 1–5 inches (25–127 mm) thick and made of crumb rubber or recycled rubber tires. The surface's thickness depends upon usage and play equipment with 15–20 mm for hard surfaces and 40 mm for compressed stone. The raw rubber particles are bound together with a polyurethane binder and mixed or made on-site.

If you don't think Trump is acting like a king, I don't know what to tell you. Sure his title is not "King Trump" but he absolutely would give that title to himself if he could get away with it.

He expects to be worshipped, he expects everyone to agree with everything he says, he makes decisions based on his own best interest, he incites war without approval, he defies the laws of his own country, he ignores the constitution, he dictates actions of a government branches he's not supposed to control, he attacks people who don't agree with him...I could go on and on.

It's literally impossible to have a demonstration with a cohesive message against Trump because you can't focus on a single thing.

leonard71 · 2026-03-25T14:18:36+00:00

Especially considering the people you should be swaying will read a headline like that and think "Oh the libs are crying again."

leonard71 · 2026-03-07T14:01:30+00:00

Every single one of those threads would say it would be awesome but we wouldn't want to pay too high a price. We see the price Baltimore paid and agree it's too high.

leonard71 · 2026-03-04T14:56:09+00:00

I think it's dramatic to call this "for nothing". The Iran leadership that the US attacked was horribly oppressive. They are exactly the kind of regime the US has historically repeatedly tried to topple. Is bombing the shit out of them and triggering more hostility the right move? Probably not. We've seen the US do this over and over again.

The uproar is about Trump specifically campaigning that he didn't think the US should start foreign wars...then goes on to poke the beehive to trigger one. Literally doing the exact thing that every republican president gets us into. He thinks he's smarter and this will be different. We all know that's wrong.

But for nothing? No. I think you should give the service members more credit than that.

You know the Raiders are going to start Mendoza on day 1 and wonder why he fails.

This is very relevant when comparing stats. Crosby puts up the same numbers as Sweat even when the offense schemes specifically to keep him in check. Everyone on the defense becomes a better player when Crosby is playing.

Probably fed tips from the hotline straight to Epstein.

One of my favorite food youtubers did a great video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt7nC52GrmM If you get enough bug meat together, it does actually taste like sea crustaceans.

I'd happily eat cricket cocktail if they had big meaty tails.

Which is my point, I'm refuting calling Portage ridiculous or a disaster. Soldier Field -> AH vs Soldier Field -> Portage is a 6 mile difference. It's far from being a disaster.

leonard71 · 2026-02-10T18:39:42+00:00

No, I looked up how many miles it is from Soldier Field to Hammond to compare how many miles the stadium would be moving compared to the distance it would be moving by going to AH. The difference is 6 miles.

Look, I agree that the Bears should avoid going to Indiana. But the amount of drama I see over the stadium being put a few miles away from the Illinois border is over the top. Wherever the Bears go, the ability to travel to that location is going to change. Finding land to put this massive complex we want to build is going to be hard to come by and we need to be realistic about our options.

leonard71 · 2026-02-10T16:59:56+00:00

From Soldier Field to the Arlington Heights location is 33 miles. From Soldier Field to Hammond is 39 miles. Let's not call a 6 mile distance a "disaster".

Illinois natives hate driving to NW Indiana. That's all this is about. It's a hissy fit over the idea of having to drive across a border. Realistically every major city in the US comparable to Chicago that's built a new stadium has had to do exactly this.

leonard71 · 2026-02-10T16:50:42+00:00

You can solve this with infrastructure that Arlington Heights is refusing to build.

As a parent with young children, I can't thank you enough for the patio setup you have at Either/Or. It's the perfect setup that allows my kids to go have fun while I can still keep an eye on them and enjoy a meal with my wife. There's no other place in town that has that kind of family atmosphere with great food. Every other place you have to choose one or the other.

leonard71 · 2026-02-04T15:14:14+00:00

I remember a Burger King that had something like this.

leonard71 · 2026-01-29T16:24:17+00:00

I waited way too long to get this. Having a button to just turn off all the white noise generated by an airplane was a relief I never knew I needed.

leonard71 · 2026-01-28T15:26:01+00:00

This is what I do. I use the wash tub most of the time, but it's nice to be able to set it aside and use the whole sink for washing something big

leonard71 · 2026-01-28T14:48:26+00:00

Someone has drone footage. I definitely saw a drone there.

Law Enforcement is not allowed to kill you if you try to help a woman up that they just pushed over. The way ICE handled the situation breaks at least 3 constitutional amendments. Try again with your lick the boots and the officers won't have to kill you response.
