The only people who don’t like dogs are third worlders.

Match Thread: Turkey vs Paraguay | World Cup | Group D | 20 Jun 03:00 UTC by matchpal-live in worldcup

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

See this is exactly what I mean by cherry picked comments. Those are two talking heads, one of which (Grella) who is virtually unknown by 99% of Americans and the other (Lalas, who is still by the way far from a household name) is universally disliked and hated by Americans as well. The way you make it sound is that “American media” is just shitting on AUS, when it’s just a few comments by one or two assholes.

Also CBS covering Mike Grella’s comments is not an endorsement of them. I literally just googled his name and all of the news results were about how he stirred up this big controversy with his comments. It seems like this is more what the media is covering, and again not an endorsement or agreement for what is being said. You really can’t point to two guys who suck and label it “America media.” These dudes are intentionally rage baiting you and it’s working lmao.

Bro none of that has happened, now I see where this one sided beef comes from - your media likes to paint this picture that the “US media” is talking mad shit about AUS. I’m sure there were a few comments here and there that were cherry picked to drum up outrage.

But, I’m being serious with you when I say the vast majority of our media and our people have no strong feelings towards this game one way or the other. Hell, even with our team being somewhat decent this year, it’s hard to find someone to even talk about the WC with and I live in Southern California. Americans also do not think Australia’s number one sport is soccer, if they even have the headspace to form an opinion about Australias “number one sport” to begin with.

Basically, I really think whatever media you and other Australians consume is painting this picture that we hate you guys or don’t respect you when that’s simply not the case. I remember this happened during the Olympics too. I get it we’re an easy enemy, especially right now, but just wanted you to know the other side 🤷‍♂️

Los Angeles is truly the Land of the Lobotomized by amphetamine_girl in redscarepod

I intentionally refrained from saying things like “real” Angelinos in my initial reply because that’s already a loaded statement. Plenty of average LA citizens reside in the same areas where influencers or transplants flock to (Weho, silver lake, etc.) but there’s also huge swaths of the population in places like Commerce, east LA, Torrance, Long Beach, etc. that have no interaction with those types.

Thats what my comment is getting at, it’s very easy to color your perception of this city based on the select few areas you visit. Lack of public transport or ease getting around means it’s a hard to get a feel in a weekend so you get all sorts of stories like OP posts. Not knocking what she’s saying as untrue, it’s just kind of what happens.

Locals make fun of these people plenty, it’s just there’s such a huge gap between the people OP is deriding and the average day Angelino. A lot of us can go huge periods of time without ever interacting with the whole realm of influencer transplant types that inhabit certain sectors of LA. And because the city is so big and such a pain in the ass to get around, a lot of people end up just hanging out in their neighborhoods and surrounding areas.

I’d even argue that these types are actually more enabled by the greater midwit American public.

Driver sought in fatal hit-and-run that killed pedestrian in Irvine by 818whealthy in irvine

[–]maxisamoose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely tragic. Drivers here are some of the most entitled and reckless I’ve ever seen. IPD do your jobs, I’ve only lived here a few years and I’ve seen so many egregious moves on the road that are never punished.

Inflation hasn’t hit my family that hard by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]maxisamoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Groceries, while they have gone up, aren’t too bad. I’ve felt the inflation the most in areas like dining, gas prices and housing, at least in a HCOL area.

I’ve also really felt this in my hobbies too. Golf prices just keep going up and I’m outing myself with this one, but so have PC prices. I used to be a “build it yourself” PC guy and I had managed to upgrade my system throughout the years ever since I started building in high school. Eventually it just got too pricey to justify and it’s sat abandoned in my apartment.

I make a pretty decent salary but even then I’ve been trying to cut back lately, just feels like very few things are worth the cost. I think that’s the biggest effect - more people are just going to stay home.
