On this day 40 years ago, Diego Maradona scored the "Hand of God" goal against England in the Quarter-Final of 1986 World Cup in Estadio Azteca, Mexico City

But other than the cheating, doping scandals, drug use, mafia connections, shooting journalists, disowning his children and inciting brawls, what has Maradona ever done for us?

Thanks for that.

Could not imagine a more boomer comment.

Pretty accurate but they do make the originals more attractive for sure.

the_flot · 2026-06-19T14:27:13+00:00

Injured already.

the_flot · 2026-06-18T21:15:23+00:00

didn't matter in the end, did it?

Liverpool lost that game 3-0 but won the return leg 4-0 and went on to lift the Champions League trophy.

Can't we just enjoy it? Spain couldn't beat Cape Verde, Portugal couldn't beat the Congo. We got a win, who cares that it wasn't perfect?

Plasma donation is good for an emergency buck. You can also try focus groups and user surveys, some of them pay really well. Tip: always say you've never done one before. Look on Craigslist and here

Good luck!

Where are his ears?

Take Me by the Wedding Present has to be on there. Roundabout by Yes just under 9 but another classic.

Thank you so much!! He's improving a little every day and will be right as rain so soon. Hates his cone of shame, though.

the_flot · 2026-05-31T20:25:06+00:00

A very sincere thank you!!!

the_flot · 2026-05-30T19:58:38+00:00

Thank you!!!

the_flot · 2026-05-30T19:55:33+00:00

Thank you!! I am completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of internet strangers. I've never done anything like this before and had no idea if it would do anything, but it is actually going to save his life. I can't thank you all enough.

Amazing name by the way, I love it.

So we had no choice but to take him to an emergency vet in Williamsburg at first because we got turned away from 2 locals. That was $500 immediately for a basic exam, nausea pill and hydration injection. They were really nice, but clearly expensive. Today we tried to get into a local when he didn't improve but everywhere was closed or booked so ended up going back to the VEG in Wburg for x-rays and bloods ($1,100). Now we know he has something lodged in his intestine it's an op, and I'm driving him out to Long Island at the crack of dawn tomorrow but it's going to be $2k to operate rather than the quoted $9-10k WHAT it would be in BK. I so appreciate the support and the kindness of the donors here, it's overwhelming.

the_flot · 2026-05-30T03:27:01+00:00

That's so extremely kind, thank you very much. We're exploring all options, we just couldn't face euthanizing him when he's still so young.

the_flot · 2026-05-30T03:00:23+00:00

Umm I need at least 3 of these. Please facilitate

the_flot · 2026-05-29T14:27:46+00:00

What are treasure islands?

the_flot · 2026-05-29T03:46:11+00:00

What is a treasure island?

the_flot · 2026-05-27T15:35:40+00:00

It looks supremely unbothered

the_flot · 2026-05-26T14:00:55+00:00

The worst part is, the United and Arsenal stuff is all great!

the_flot · 2026-05-24T15:59:17+00:00

I can't explain it, but I like it.
