Get absolutely wrecked Argentina! Justice finally gets served for all Argentina’s bullshit and dirty shenanigans, and Egypt in particular gets some measure of revenge.

Messi is a great player, but even he can’t carry that bunch of dirty hacks to WC glory.

Massive credit to Spain. They’ve had a great tournament and deserve this WC.

Bullshit.

Just because Argentina happens to be a couple of hundred miles away doesn’t mean they are entitled to the islands, not even if they throw the biggest toddler tantrum about it.

And also, Argentine imperialism is not better than British imperialism. And no, the people living on the islands definitely do deserve a say. And they who want to stay British. They have more of a right to their own self-determination than some petulant brats in Buenos Aires.

Okay. But them parading around with their banner doesn’t mean shit as far as ownership goes.

Also, the Falklands’ residents overwhelmingly want to stay under the administration of Britain. And the Falklands’ were first settled by the British in 1774 - two years before Argentina was even officially founded as a colony, and decades before it gained independence.

The only claim they have to ownership is proximity. And based on numerous territories around the world, that doesn’t mean shit.

An easy way? I guess the term ‘easy’ depends on your expertise with networking, firewalls, etc. Sounds like you and I are at about the same level there. In which case the answer is: no, there’s no easy way from what I can tell. I’ve looked into it and it’s a lot more involved than, say, Plex (because Plex does a bunch of the routing and stuff for you, but at a cost).

Got rather badly humiliated yet again. And long may it continue.

Two to players during the match.

Four to coaching staff during the match.

Two to players after the final whistle.

What a shambles of a game! I watched the highlights with my wife. Her reaction: “they are not being good examples of what women’s football is capable of!” And she’s right. Too many misplaced passes and shots missed, but even worse was the constant shirt-pulling and dirty shenanigans.

Most of Brazil’s players lost their heads during the match, and so did the staff. Very poor show.

Apparently they are also hiring back some of them.

29% of firms have already rehired for AI-cut roles, while 55% of executives regret replacing workers with AI. From Big Tech to fast food, the AI revolution promised efficiency—instead, it delivered a costly lesson in human judgment.

Texas: “You don’t mess with Texas!!”

Screwworm: “lol, whatever”

I hope various groups and organizations are organizing an alternative event, with all the best artists and food and speakers, and blackjack and hookers. And millions of people attend or tune into that. It would be hilarious to see it completely eclipse this disaster that Trump is pushing.

Ligers (products of male lions and female tigers), and tigons (product of female lions and male tigers).

Male ligers are sterile, but female ones can reproduce. Same with tigons.

My letter:

Hi there future me. I really really hope you’re in a better situation than I fear you (and 99% of the rest of the world) will be. Good luck. And sorry for not doing those things that would have made your life easier.

To shreads you say?

“stick to matters of morality”… That’s exactly what he’s been doing you fat-headed clown! The pope has been talking about the (im)morality of war and the abuse of power. Which is painfully relevant.

I’ve seen some people talk about how Vance is some intellectual titan who we should fear because he’s so smart. But all I’ve seen over the last few years is him being played like a fiddle by scumbags and other idiots.

I think you’ve got the nail on the head here. At first glance this is an outlandish list of scenarios. But to anyone whose paying attention to the news and can read between the lines, all of these bullet points are alarmingly viable.

These midterms are going to be ugly as fuck.

“It’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. “There’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”

They knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Most of them want those bad things to happen. They masturbate over the prospect of that brutality.

This is just some asshole trying to hand-wave away the crimes these people are doing under the guise of “boo hoo, poor them!”

They deserve zero sympathy. And all of them who have harassed, threatened, kidnapped, hurt, or murdered people should be brought to justice.

Every accusation is an admission.

Kind of funny considering that Visio is the name of another Microsoft product.

ETA: I’m not defending Microsoft’s usage of the term ‘Visio’ here. The French use of that term makes a lot of sense, and Microsoft has an annoying tendency of using and copyrighting very common terms like ‘Word’ or ‘SQL Server’. And France (or the French government) should be allowed to use it for their video conferencing software. I’m just smiling at the idea of some people opening Microsoft Visio by mistake and trying to figure out how to make a call through a diagramming app.
