I think what that person is saying is: even if Trump tries (and fails) by doing the same shit that's already been tried and failed, that is STILL better than what Trump hinted at doing, which is feeding Ukraine to the wolves.

And the two are connected by Cahuenga, which has one of LA's best blues clubs.

In an ideal world, you would be right. Unfortunately, corporations HAVE TO advertise the benefits of DEI and HAVE TO do top down scolding, because if they don't then many people would either ignore their biases or outright follow their biases. When I moved into management in a large corporation that works hard to have a diverse and inclusive environment, I was shocked at the vile things some hiring managers were saying when they didn't think the "wrong" people were listening. That subset of people need to either be forced or given justification to implement diversity into their orgs.

He's a useful idiot who hates one thing so much that he will ignore any and all good things bad about that thing, and will ignore any and all bad things about something that isn't that thing.

If they didn't have a drug smuggling, match-fixing owner, I'd be all for that.

This was not the score I expected to see when I clicked over to here. Also, the match thread bot is working well so far.

EDIT: There's what I expected... and there it is again.

Yeah, I haven't seen the replays and can't say whether it was deserved or not, but I know it was the Brooks card in the Chelsea game.

Nothing. The answer is nothing will happen.

This doesn't make it any easier to blow things up. Any drone made from any US manufacturer can be used if you want to blow things up.

What this DOES do is help morons who don't understand the consequences of their actions do stupid stuff. DJI is the most popular brand, so most morons who are doing stupid stuff with drones are probably using DJI. The people who understand drones better are less likely to use DJI. So the guy who thinks it's a good idea to fly near wild fires or fly over a major airport is now more likely to cause trouble.

The weird thing about that book is it doesn't show up in Django's wikipedia page. I've really enjoyed all the books I've read from him (the French Revolution series and the Burningblade/Silvereye series). They all have strong female characters, though I wouldn't call any of them main characters.

[–] dogslayeggs 2 points 5 days ago

I really enjoyed the entire series. It was such a unique setting and story.

Were there any demands for conditions like you suggest on aid for the hurricane victims? For COVID relief? For flood victims?

If there were demands like this for all the other aid packages the US deals out every single year, then these aren't "conditions" on aid... it's just aid in the normal fashion. There would be no need to demand "conditions" if the conditions are the same as in every other crisis, which either means they want more conditions or they are acting like assholes to make their asshole voters happy. If there were NOT demands like this in the past, why are you OK with them now?

 

Is there a way to force a sync/update of a federated community? When I go to https://soccer.forum I can see all kinds of recent activity. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] I don't see any new posts for the last 16 days.

 

Both the Philly/New England and LAFC/Vancouver playoff match-ups are rematches of the final game of the season. There is a chance those four teams will play four games in a row in this new playoff format.

 

I'm required by federal rules to buy a ticket through an American carrier for work travel, which means my flights have to be booked by Delta even if the flights are operated by AF/KLM. I want to fly on AF/KLM stock to get better MQDs, though. Can I call either Delta or AF/KLM to have them change the ticket stock after purchasing? I know the stocks CAN be changed, because KLM were forced to do it in order for them to book me on a new flight after mine was cancelled. I just don't know if there are special code words I can use to get them to do it for me.

If Vancouver beats LAFC this weekend, RSL beats Colorado (likely), and Houston beats Portland (likely), then the first round of the playoffs will have LAFC playing Vancouver in a best of 3. That would be minimum of 3 games in a row between the two teams and a possibility for a 4th game.

I kind of hate it.

I didn't check Eastern Conference, but there is also a very very low likelihood of Houston and Portland playing 3-4 games in a row. That requires Seattle, Dallas, and San Jose all losing, LAFC losing, and Houston beating Portland by enough goals.

I found a very active soccer community randomly while surfing not logged in. When I got back to my computer that was logged in, I had the hardest time finding it. And when I finally found it, the community didn't show any new posts for the last 7 days and was far less active. I swapped to a different browser that wasn't logged into lemmy and could see all the newest posts.

So I tried subscribing to see if that would force a sync, but it didn't do anything.

Basically, when I'm logged into lemmy.world I cannot see any new posts on lemmy.world/c/[email protected] but when I'm logged out and go to the exact same address I can see all the newest posts.

 

Vela returns with a goal and an assist. Olivera opens up his MLS tenure with a goal. Bogusz scored a good goal. Bouanga was dangerous and had a circus goal called back for a questionable foul. And McCarthy saved 4 shots in the clean sheet. It was a fun game to watch, though in person a lot of the calls from the ref seemed questionable.

With Juarez finishing second in their group, they will head out to BMO Stadium this Wed night.

 

Vela is an absolute legend for the club who has brought us 3 titles already. It will be a bitter sweet day when we get to send off our captain, our first ever and best player.

 

Cifuentes has been pretty disappointing this season, though he's been a bit better the last few games. It would have been nice to have traded him when his stock was higher, but moving a young player to Europe is always a good thing. I'm not 100% well versed on the crazy MLS roster rules, but I wonder if this plus the Opoku move helps the club sign a new DP.

 

With the start of the League's Cup this week and LAFC having a bye through to the knockout round from holding the Supporter's Shield, the next match for LAFC isn't until August (date unknown). Let's hope the players are finally able to recover their early season form and use the time to gel on a more cohesive attack. My personal opinion is this year's Shield is already out of reach, so we should focus on League's Cup and, if we don't win that, then coast the regular season to rest up for the MLS Cup.

 

I've never started a community or modded a subreddit, so I'll be looking to hand this off to someone in the future. I just wanted to get our space started since I no longer use reddit. Please let me know if you are interested in moderating.
