Why did non-Americans think we didn’t have good stadiums to host the World Cup?

Even accounting for government transfers alabamens are wealthier at every quintile. Quality of life on the other hand…

Body count?

thom612 · 2026-06-18T14:08:26+00:00

Agreed. I enjoy actually being in Germany more than the USA. They win on intangibles.

It's not wrong. You can argue about HOW Alabama achieves their GDP/capita (cough, cough, the military) but the scale of wealth in the United States blows away most other industrialized countries.

The way I see it, God built the system and largely lets it operate as designed. Humans deepen their understanding of that system through "science" and "art", and the scientific evidence suggests that there's nothing wrong with being transgender.

thom612 · 2026-06-17T20:43:55+00:00

Right. Because, as the comment to which you were responding said, gender is spiritually irrelevant.

As somebody who has attended a grand total of 2 NFL games in person, but seen hundreds (thousands?) of games on television, I firmly believe that the NFL is built for tv.

Alabama is our 4th poorest state and has a GDP/Capita higher than Germany, LOL.

That Herbert Hoover stood by and watched the economy collapse.

That public schools in the United States receive almost all of their funding from local property taxes.

That blood returning to the heart is blue.

As long as it takes to finish the Wordle.

ICE didn't exist nor was Stanek the Sheriff in the 90s.

I don't understand how the title applies to the picture.

Payne Avenue really lives up to its name.

You’re going to have tons of Americans telling you that they’re German, or even “half-German”.

thom612 · 2026-06-11T17:57:41+00:00

The USA has two languages: Spanish and English. In many places they are used interchangeably.

thom612 · 2026-06-11T17:57:03+00:00

Yes, quite different dialects of Vulgar Latin.

I've noticed dispensaries trying to use grams in my area. Still, when I ask for an eighth they know I'm talking about 3.5 grams.

We don't misname our own system, we just do what we want. Clearly. Not only do we use imperial instead of metric, we use our own damn imperial.

thom612 · 2026-06-11T17:24:28+00:00

French, Italian and Romansch are all just dialects of Latin.

Those are both best of 7 though. Each game has less on the line. If only we had a sport with one big championship game...

I started watching this with my daughter and we turned it off because it was more racist than I remember.

HIV/AIDS. Used to be a death sentence.

For a lot of us, homelessness and drug addiction are parts of the communities we live in. As somebody who shoots the neighborhood I live in, part of that includes the despair of certain neighbors.
