The cool part about @UPS is that they will tell you when a package will be delivered, and it usually is. The weird thing about @FedEx is that they’ll tell you 4 different dates and then no dates for a while and then will eventually deliver your package when they get around to it.
@FedExHelp No thanks. I go through this all the time and you do absolutely nothing to solve the problem. But you will recite the same stuff I can see in the app.
USA fans were incredible last night for the @USMNT’s 4-1 win over Paraguay 🇺🇸
@JennyTaft spoke with head coach Mauricio Pochettino after one of the greatest nights in American soccer history
At this point, I question how important it is for these teams to be associated with colleges and universities. If this is going to be a pro sport, let it be a pro sport. The association to schools can be part of the franchise’s history, but what’s the argument for it to be intertwined with education?
When it comes to billionaires my take is the opposite of Leftists:
Billionaires SHOULD consume all their wealth: megayachts, English castles, mountains of cocaine, own a dozen homes and 30 cars - do it! Spend it all!
The worst thing that can happen is for a billionaire to try to ‘do good in the world’ and shovel money to NGOs for some cause they get excited about. That’s the worst thing that can happen. Charitable donations should be taxed at 500%. A billionaire’s lavish lifestyle poses no threat to me but their misguided ‘good intent’ is absolutely cancerous and potentially civilization ending.
When the 2026 World Cup was announced for the United States back in 2018, I told myself there was no way I’d miss it. I was going to be there in person, experiencing a World Cup on home soil and I know so many of you felt the exact same way.
Fast forward to now, and the ticket prices are completely astronomical. Outrageously unaffordable. What was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime has been priced out of reach for regular fans like me. I’m going to miss watching my country host the biggest event in sports… something I may never get to experience again in my lifetime.
Yes, they’re going to make money off this massive event on U.S. soil. But the greed has gone too far. It’s ruining the beautiful game and turning it into something only the wealthy can enjoy. A World Cup should be for everyone not just those who can drop thousands without blinking.
This is an absolute shame.
War is the worst thing in the world. Westerners talk about it like it's a fucking video game, like "hurr durr, we just go in there and achieve our objectives and win," when really war means shredding human bodies to bits.
Children burning to death in front of their parents.
People holding their own guts in their hands as their life slowly slips away.
People getting trapped under rubble and dying excruciatingly slow deaths of suffocation or dehydration.
People picking up pieces of their beloved family members.
Westerners are able to hold this compartmentalized video game mentality about war because war isn't something that happens to us. We've never had bombs dropped on our neighborhoods. We've never had the experience of seeing a severed hand on the ground after an explosion and trying to figure out who it belonged to. We've never had the experience of seeing our child's shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we'd carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before.
We just see the movies. The propagandistic war documentaries. The sanitized news reports.
It's not real to us. It's not personal. It's just this cutesy Hollywood image of sexy Good Guys doing flips and spin-kicking evil Bad Guys off cliffs.
You know this is true, because if it wasn't then nobody would support US wars. If westerners had an actual, visceral understanding of what war really is and what it actually means, and if they could truly, deeply grasp that the people on the receiving end of those airstrikes are human beings just like them, there's no way they'd support inflicting such nightmares upon their fellow man.
Which is why everything in our civilization is aimed at hiding that reality from us. War is made to look heroic and glamorous. Middle easterners are framed as deranged subhuman savages. The flesh-and-bone consequences of western warmongering are hidden from public view as much as possible.
They need to do this because the western empire depends on war. War is the glue that holds the empire together. They need the mass-scale bloodshed to continue, and they need the public to provide no resistance to the bloodshed. The empire cannot exist without war. Peace cannot exist without the removal of the empire.
You watch these bespectacled pundits and pampered politicians babbling about war the way they'd talk about their plans for a kitchen renovation or a trip to Paris, and you just know if actual war ever showed up on their doorstep they'd literally soil themselves. They'd never recover. They'd spend the rest of their lives in shock and trauma, because what they saw would have shaken them irreparably to their very core.
It would impact them in this way because war is the worst thing in the world. Anyone with a functioning empathy center and a truth-based worldview would move mountains to prevent war from happening. And yet we are ruled by sociopaths who actively seek it out. War is the worst thing in the world, and we are ruled by the worst people in the world.
The world will never know peace until we cease to allow such creatures to rule over us.
I forgot my passport, but luckily it turns out the TSA will let you through without RealID as long as you pay a fee. Inconvenient, but it makes me feel safer knowing I’m protected against terrorists that don’t have $45
@calebsynan Let’s get creative. Put a tether on every phone. Then when it’s time to board, just tug the phones toward the gate. Or just reel them directly to their seats. They don’t even need to look up.
Five of the biggest alcohol makers in the world are sitting on what’s described as “a lake” of unsold alcohol as people are drinking less than they used to.
