49·3 days agoI can, and will, hate both the game and the players.
The players at the top know exactly what they’re doing.
If me, a fucking nobody who reads while taking a shit, in between working all the time to pay the bills can understand what’s going on. There’s no way the richest in society, with the most leisure time and access to the world’s greatest educators etc, don’t.
12·4 days agoAye but there’s only so much you can water down your sampling before it’s ridiculous.
1,282 people is less than the amount normally polled in a country 5 times smaller.
If they only polled 10 people would you be arguing the same or would that be deemed a ridiculously small sample size?
Also bear in mind that they’ve claimed to have weighted the data for 8 categories, some of which have multiple variations within them. And they’ve managed to do all of this with such a small sample size? Utter shite.
I’m not saying I’m opposed to the idea of Americans being against the war, what I’m saying is it’s disingenuous to make authoritative claims, like the headline makes, on such a small sample of data.
Aye, that IPSOS are shite.
They polled 0.00037509% of the population and then make authoritative claims about the entire nation’s sentiments.
They normally poll more people than this in the UK, a country with 5 times less people than the USA. So why so few people for a USA poll?
1,282 polled out of 350 million… This tells us nothing.
I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.
You don’t happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?
Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven’t achieved full nerdhood yet.
The development plan for Trump International Golf Links, Scotland (TIGLS) included two 18-hole courses, a 5-star hotel, golf villas, holiday homes, and a golf academy. It was strongly supported by local business leaders,[2] but met opposition from local residents, campaigners and environmental groups anxious to preserve the 4,000-year-old sand dunes that were designated an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). In June 2019, Scottish Natural Heritage ruled that the golf course had “partially destroyed” the sand dune system, causing permanent habitat loss, and recommended that the SSSI status be revoked.[3][4] The SSSI special status was removed in December 2020.[5]

Some should have been nature reserves before they ever even became golf courses.
And even then, they generally don’t wanna watch amateurs, semi-pro, or low league pros. Can only be the national/world leagues or nothing at all.
Almost as if they don’t really care about sport but instead are using it as a means to be part of a group, to have a cultural link with others. A shame sport culture is mostly brainrot pundits constantly waffling shite like “they really wanted to win this one” as if they’re not trying to win every time. No moment of silence and just watching the spectacle allowed. Constant punditry, hours of pointless analysis before and after every game.
Not to mention the constant hype as if each match is the most important of all time
Watching amateur sport is far more interesting IMO. Less predictable, more exciting, no bullshit punditry, more passion for the sport.
US created? What a load of horse shit.
During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations.
The first meeting of the World Health Assembly finished on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$5 million (then £1,250,000) for the 1949 year. G. Brock Chisholm [Canadian] was appointed director-general of the WHO, having served as executive secretary and a founding member during the planning stages,[22][19] while Andrija Štampar [Croatian] was the assembly’s first president.
Pirating still aids them.
It still legitimises and normalises FIFA. By watching it you’re still engaging in their spectacle, still likely to talk about it with others, still accepting that it’s a legitimate tournament not ripe with corruption.
Even VAR decisions are controversial and corrupt at times, the whole reason VAR was claimed to have been implemented to prevent.
FIFA is rotten to the core, and needs properly boycotted. If you really care about football watch local leagues, not this spectacle of wealth, corruption, and power.
Anti-status quo in rhetoric doesn’t mean they are in reality.
It’s about keeping those ants in line!
In the same vein, never let them out of a junction out of politeness. They have enough privilege in their life, they can wait.
Banged up Corsa? Out you come, you’ve places to go.
Boring Ford Mondeo? Sure, I’ll be nice.
Land Rover Evoque Sport? Get fucked, I’ve got right of way.
The Great in Great Britain is a geographical term though, not a propaganda one.
It’s the largest island of the British Isles.
The Greco-Egyptian scientist Ptolemy referred to the larger island as great Britain (μεγάλη Βρεττανία megale Brettania) and to Ireland as little Britain (μικρὰ Βρεττανία mikra Brettania) in his work Almagest (147–148 AD).[29]
True Cost of US Healthcare Shocks the British Public:
They’re not experiencing the same reality
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]
The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s.[3][4] He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.[5] Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation.[6] It has since gained further resonance in the social media era in 2025 in the U.S.[7]
Balls is not the correct description for resigning in shame after being publicly outed as a paedophile…
61·1 month agoIncredibly fucked up to think there’s no upside to fighting imperialism. Typical clueless Brit energy.
