After Haskell’s chat started making Jeffrey Epstein jokes, Haskell explained why he doesn’t joke about it and said he believes it can make serious issues become normalized😳
“I don’t joke about stuff like that, the government wants us to turn it into jokes so it can become normalized”
“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America
Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America
Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America
the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs
y’all have no respect for the ppl who make your life easier. the person making your morning coffee deserves a livable wage. the person stocking the groceries you buy deserves a livable wage. the person cleaning the restrooms in the office you work at deserves a livable wage.
American soccer culture has to be built around American culture. Not European culture. Stuff like this is infinitely cooler and more authentic than stealing songs and customs from British or Dutch fans.
Americans want to feel American.
it's kinda funny when football players fall down and start rolling around but no one gaf so after like seven seconds of larping they just get up like nothing happened
