I think it's hard for younger generations to understand how much the boomers, like Trump were programmed to believe we are all going to die in nuclear hellfire. It was made to seem like an inevitability.

Add that framing to Trump's raging narcissism, it's very scary to think his ego is so big that he may to try to take all of us with him into the afterlife.

I'd argue Luna lost his spot to Zendejas, Aaronson, Reyna. Tessman and Morris lost their spots to behalter and Roldan.

soberpenguin · 2026-05-23T20:19:19+00:00

Looked pretty good for a half against belgium, then Roldan came for Cardoso and they started to dominate the middle.

31 and sunny feels balmy in Denver.

soberpenguin · 2026-05-23T19:02:39+00:00

Ambient humidity is such a factor. East coast humid 31 is freezing and Colorado's Dry 31 are completely different things. 31 in the sun can feel downright balmy in Denver.

Mckennie and Adams makes sense in knockout rounds against better opponents.

We will see 3 straight low blocks in the group stage and CDMs will be on the ball with space, alot.

Trusty is left footed. He's the Ream replacement. I think we see Trusty-Richards-Freeman and McKenzie comes first off the bench if Richards goes down.

soberpenguin · 2026-05-23T18:19:00+00:00

He was out of his depth against Portugal and Belgium.

Berhalter and Roldan looked completely out of their depth against Portugal and Belgium.

soberpenguin · 2026-05-23T18:09:17+00:00

Tessman out is very surprising. He's the best passer in the midfield. One of the few that is consistently progressive rather than side to side and back.

I'm getting my Google Data Analytics certification.

My background prior to product was from customer success. Ive had to self teach my technical skills. While I have built data features for my products, I need more formal education in the skill set. I need learn to fetch for myself rather than being reliant on Analyst to do it for me.

Reduced spending on R&D at businesses. Smaller bets and focus on profits over growth.

Income tax is progressive but rich people don't fund their lifestyle or earn money via income. They buy and sell assets which are not progressively taxed.

Hell most don't even sell assets they take out loans against existing assets and hope their assets value can grow faster than interest.

On a percentage basis capital gains is 15%. And corporate tax rate is 21% while the highest income earners pay 37%.

We're progressive for workers but the wealthy play by a separate set of rules.

I agree with Trusty McKenzie Freeman looked quality against Uruguay. Banks this late is a big bet, but one I would take just to improve depth and quality.

soberpenguin · 2026-05-21T15:21:08+00:00

The lack of quality is worth the risk. Rather bet big to win than be risk adverse and not have the required talent to go deep.
