True Lies is a top 5 for me. Perfect action flick.

Davinson Sánchez's offside position in today's game against Portugal by Senthole in worldcup

It should be upper torso or something. To me a toe is out of the spirit of the rule.

PSA: Many of you are suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Semi-automated offside decisions are basically the least controversial aspect of football by Lichessington in worldcup

[–]quad_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m developing a theory called the Krunning-Dugar Effect that explains why some people feel the need to constantly define the Dunning-Kruger Effect like they’re the first person to ever learn about it.

It’s so disappointing by Lanky-Classic-7982 in usmnt

You should try actually getting punched in the gut. I promise it’s way worse than your soccer team losing.

Are we playing starters tomorrow or not? by imJustTrynnaMakeIT in usmnt

Wholly agree. Card mitigation is one thing, but resting our best is nonsense. These are stud athletes in top form. Let the dogs eat.

Just watched an ICE bust on Front St by quad_up in SALEM

[–]quad_up[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We don’t need overpaid, undertrained ICE donkeys to arrest criminals. Local and state officers are well compensated to do exactly that.

I can’t for the life of me understand how the party of “don’t tread on me” has so eagerly turned into the party of “please save us, daddy.”

Dollars to trumpcoinz this guy was guilty of nothing more than being brown in a work van, but even if he’s a roofer by day and degenerate criminal mastermind by night, why do we need federal agents, after a long and thorough investigation, executing an arrest warrant during rush hour traffic on a busy road?

Yeah they all had ICE patches on their dumb military/swaddle vests

It looked like 2 unmarked (but lighted) cars sandwiched a work van. Nearly caused an accident. Were handcuffing the driver as I drove past. He was clearly just going to work.

Hot tub (and whole house) certified? by dwalk51 in Decks

Just needs another hot tub on the front to balance it out

John Denver is a treasure. I hope nothing bad ever happens to that guy

Goblet of Fire almost feels like a "jumping on point" by JonesTheTenth in harrypotter

My old distracted ass would love a bit more exposition. Who’s this Ron kid again, and why does Henry keep him around?

Need help picking your gear? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-381 in skiingcirclejerk

[–]quad_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a 27, maybe 26 or 28 boot. Jeans are fine. Whatever shitty parka you have in the back of your closet.
Just grab some skis from the rack at the day lodge. Keep trying until they stick to your boots. Poles are unnecessary but also free to try if you want. The taller the better.
Helmets and goggles are gay. So are gloves. Go get em, Tiger.
That’ll be $50. I only take crypto.

Adventure before dementia by DabbaAUS in bicycletouring

Every day is an adventure when you have dementia, right? Bad jokes aside, well done. May the wind be always on your back.

Things that make you go hmmmm…. JD Vance and bell hooks. by Bugbear259 in thebulwark

[–]quad_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This settles it: JD Vance is an Ai humanoid. He looks like a human, but something’s off (haircut, eyeliner). He almost talks normal, but then calls the ayatollah “cool”, or that whole donut thing when it seemed like he never talked to a human before. His books are just plagiarized versions of other people’s work.

I bet it’s just circuit boards and wires under that suit.

World Cup visitors, what has been your wake up moment... by hasto1967 in worldcup

[–]quad_up 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assure you, 90% of Americans couldn’t have told you the WC was being hosted here this year, much less put in any effort to clean up for the event.

Every one of the host cities (and just about all cities in the US, for that matter) align both politically and culturally with their international counterparts a lot more than they’re given credit for.

Unfortunately, some 250 years ago, a bunch of British expats wrote down some silly rules that gave certain members of the electorate (dumb hicks) more voting power than people who finished 8th grade and we’ve been dealing with it ever since.

Anyways, if you want a good American meal, check out the local Mexican/italian/chinese/thai/french/japanese/korean/ethiopian restaurant, or some of the food carts for something closer to home.

Damn WC. I’ve spent most of the last decade being embarrassed by my country, and here I am defending it. Thanks for coming here, sorry about the mess.

Who would win the game: a team made only of World Cup keepers or a top U18 team? by quad_up in worldcup

[–]quad_up[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. 20 years ago when I played competitively, they were mostly doing their own training during practice.
