Damn, imagine if you went to every game

If I was a fan I'd be sat wondering why they'd been happily talking a 75+% profit margin from me after I'd already bought a ticket to be there.

If they could just not, when they feel like it

Why is the leader of the secular United States of America so frequently using religion as a fucking guiding force.

Add this to the bonkers situation where half your population are treating the incoming leader as a god emperor.

What century are you lot living in

Not for everyone but political activism is a good outlet, be it protests or volunteering to help the election campaign of the opposition when it comes round again. Make sure everyone you know lays the blame in the correct place when shit inevitably hits the fan.

Other than that, get off corporate social media, rage bait is the most effective content for driving interaction, corporate social media algorithms are designed to maximise interaction. You will always be shown the worst of everything on social media.

Similarly identify where your news is coming from and if it's coming from somewhere with a tendency to sensationalise. Cut anything like that out too.

It's important to be informed yes, but it's not essential to be aware of absolutely everything for most people, and if that's better for your mental health, you should prioritise reduction in consumption.

Ur-Fascism was published in 1995 partly to document the modern fascist and draw lines to the originals.

Yes the term was first used a century ago, but unfortunately it hasn't stayed in the past.

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of, thanks!

I genuinely find that surprising given the corpses that have been haunting that place over the past decade or so

Immersion is the best way to get used to it anyway!

I wish you luck in your search man, (preemptive) welcome to the UK!

What would you add/change for next time

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

Why aren't there adult only flights? (self.casualconversation)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by 9point6 to c/[email protected]
 

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!

Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be
