Based only on reading this thread I find this all very confusing and unnecessary, but this is the sort of strange niche drama that only small independent message boards can offer, just not the same on corporate social media, sorta gotta love it.

I hope not I steal a lot of memes from there

I’ve done what I feel is a pretty good job ignoring US election (canadian here), but the liberal head loss over this I sadly cannot ignore. Otherwise reasonable people acting as if the world has ended when this man has already been president ? Some of the same people who agreed with me that KKKamala is not in any capacity a “harm reduction” vote acting as if martial law has just been declared or some shit ? Maybe I’m just the disagreeable asshole but I just find this behavior sad.

Obviously fuck Trump should go without saying how pathetically shitty that dude is but I mean come on. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered and terminally wounded under the democrats, not trump. Roe v Wade was overturned under the democrats, not Trump. We have witnessed one of the most acute transfers of wealth to the ultra rich under the dems, not the republicans. The war in the Ukraine started and was goaded on under Biden’s admin, not Trump.

I’m not trying to say in any sense that things will get a single iota better with republicans in office but I feel like I’m taking crazy pills seeing the reactions online and from people I would consider to be rational individuals. They might even be right that these things will get worse under another Trump admin more quickly or in different ways than if Kamala won, but still I find the reaction to it ridiculous.

Not that any american needs to or should care about my opinion considering I’m relatively removed from the situation but like, am I being unempathetic or unreasonable ?

I’m going to extremely highly recommend the movie Mandy from 2018 with Nicolas Cage. Its sorta a horror movie but its mostly just an absolutely bizarre and unsettling experience.

Second half might be bit gory I honestly cant recall but I don’t think too bad. Anyway I cannot recommend it enough if you like freaky and disturbing type horror movies.

I would echo other sentiments in this thread and say go attend local non-league matches, by far the best way to experience the beautiful game.

If you gotta pick a PL side though I gotta advocate for Arsenal, been a diehard supporter for almost 20 years even though I’m from Canada. I like other commentators shout for Crystal Palace as well if you wanna follow a not as popular club, always had a soft spot for them.

Premier League football is of an amazing skill level and is wildly entertaining but imo requires a level of cognitive dissonance to enjoy, as do most treats I guess.

My coffee table is messier than that right now and I spent all last two days playing the wind waker and eating pie.

People think they can talk shit in the playoffs when they didn’t even watch any of the regular season

They just closed several in my city and have been trying to push the “its because of theft” angle which the media just absolutely loves. In my opinion they were looking for gov handouts and were going to close them anyway.

Reading this basically confirms my suspicions. They closed 711s in lower income areas not because of crime but because there are fewer and fewer people spending $5 on a soda or $25 on a pack of smokes. Who ever could guess why that might be ? Does my head in

I basically do manual labor for a living and regularly think about how much more I’d hate my life if I had to sit in an office dealing with bullshit all day, idk how yall do it honestly

basically exactly how it went down lol
