Booooooooo

Worst part is whoever made this image must think they’re so damn smart

Thread on front page of r/soccer rn filled with people malding about UEFA website (correctly) listing a Ukrainian player’s birthplace as Russia cause he was born in Donetsk. good bit

sorry officer I was only speeding because I really badly have to get home and listen to the Persona 3 soundtrack

Major contrast to the video I saw of Serbian fans chanting anti-NATO stuff

tired of having friends and family who want to do things with me (and also a job) instead of being able to just post up and watch 4-5 matches of football per day

cars are the opposite of freedom in my opinion. I grew up/live in a city where there is fortunately rudimentary public transit but a lot of shit is highly inaccessible without a car. Especially in the winters here having to rely on the bus to get to work was absolute hell, but even then having a car is such a massive chore. Outside of rent it is my biggest expense in a month and driving is highly dangerous despite the fact that id consider myself quite good at it. Id much rather be able to just rely on public transport and not have to deal with the cost and stress of driving on a daily basis, would feel much more free id say. And thats not even considering the social aspects of not having a car here and how that can limit you, wish it were just typical (and practical) for most people to take transit

they were last in the World Cup as recently as 2010 in South Africa. My primary memory of them in that tournament is Emmanuel Eboué trying to listen into their team huddle as if he spoke Korean, good bit guy was a mediocre right back but was definitely funny dude

England winning would be a disaster we would never hear the end of it.

One of my favorite EURO memories was watching them lose to Iceland in I think 2016 in a bar packed full of englishmen in downtown Toronto. Barely got out of their alive, hoping for more of the same this year

Dying for EUROs and then Copa America to start, need my football fix. Friendlies and Brazilian league not enough to take the edge off

Nothing Was The Same was a good album tho fuck drake sure but the production on that was crisp

Damn so you’re saying the Polish Tesco bag for life I got when visiting Krakow like a decade ago is now a collectors item

Cold beer and cigarette at the end of long week is absolutely unmatched

I’ve always considered people who weren’t old enough to remember watching 9/11 on TV to be “posts” and have always struggled to take their existence seriously

I can’t speak for European comrades but over here in Canada I would say we have a fairly principled ML party and still fail to gain much of any traction. Just having a party isn’t enough I would say. I don’t know what the solution is and don’t have much constructive to add but I definitely understand the feeling that the future is bleak. All I can say is if you can make a difference at a small level in your community as our party does here then thats better than nothing

Steve from Coronation Street honestly

Sorry for the late reply I missed this message until now. I definitely think the shift in software and to mobile plays a major part, especially when it comes to tech literacy of younger people now in my opinion. I feel like you used to have to learn a decent number of things about computers to accomplish basic tasks prior to smartphone/tablet era.

I think it is equally to do with the consolidation of corporate social media though, combined with the proper explosion of the internet which I guess probably came mid 2010s ? Just used to be less people online really

I was born nearly decade before you and absolutely feel like i grew up on the internet too. It was so different when small blogs and sites dominated stuff and vbulletin or phpbb forum software was the primary way you experienced socializing online. Most of the closest friends in my life now I met initially on niche web forums or chat rooms pre-2010.

Even 2009-2013ish twitter was a completely different experience to what exists now. Its crazy how much the internet has changed even just in the last 5-6 years

fully agreed, mostly I just hate not being able to get my liquor at the store with the rest of my groceries, as it is in much of the world
