Special military operation
  • It’s propaganda because it works. Unfortunately. Because now these are just known manipulation tactics proven to work. And we still don’t really have a way to fight them—except that one old fashioned way and, hey, Nazis can get killed as far as I’m concerned.

  • de Jong: "They said a lot of things about me, that I don't want surgery and that I get paid a lot of money. There were numbers like €37M or so but the reality is very far from that. I'm nowhere close
  • I mean, I get it. But I probably would. You’re talking millions and millions of euros PER YEAR. I say this as not a millionaire, but that’s the kind of money that you can be fine with for the rest of your life. Not to mention he’s a more habdsome, multi lingual footballer, so he could easily retire into a life of leisure making appearances, commentating, etc.

    And we’re not talking about lowering from 27.7M to 100,000. We’re talking, like, worst case scenario wiping away bonuses and living of NINE MILLION a year.

    These are multimillionaires. And we’re talking like they can’t be slightly less super wealthy? Cmon.

  • de Jong: "They said a lot of things about me, that I don't want surgery and that I get paid a lot of money. There were numbers like €37M or so but the reality is very far from that. I'm nowhere close
  • Well, the 2023/24 season, with bonuses and fixed salary, the reported figure is €27.7M. That’s a ton of money. The last president of the club was signing outrageous contracts, basically putting the club in the financial straits they’re in now. And during this time of absurd contracts/wages, La Liga was basically folding their hands saying go ahead. But now, with a new president, the wages have been slashed across the board, but Frankie is still on his old contract. And with Covid, there were deferments with payment, so that boosts the numbers a little.

    All in all, Tebas is a piece of shit, but the last train wreck of a president basically walked hand in hand with tebas, destroying the club. Now that they’re trying to be financially responsible and wipe away the issues, La Liga keeps setting lower and lower thresholds for Barca to meet, while other clubs aren’t getting nearly as low of windows. It’s a shit show. It’s not Frankie’s fault, it’s largely Bartomeu’s fault, but Tebas is also gleefully holding down the club as much as possible. In the midst of all this, it’s nice to see the team turning things around finally. But I also say that as a fan. De jong is under no obligation to reduce his wages. But…it’s also like…the other years of massive amounts of money weren’t enough? And he’s been out injured for months. Eh. It’s just crazy the financial situation at Barca. Again, largely falling on the shoulders of bartomeu. Other players stepped in to help. Frankie didn’t. Those are just facts.

  • McDonald's Went Years Without Noticing Employees Were Human Trafficking Victims, Report Finds: "Can't Undo the Damage to My Mental Health"
  • [McDonalds] said it cares “deeply” about all employees and promised that - working with franchisees - it would “play our part alongside government, NGOs [Non-governmental organisations] and wider society to help combat the evils of modern slavery”.

    What fucking empty fucking tripe. They couldn’t give half a fuck. Burn all corps to the fuckin ground.

  • Remember That DNA You Gave 23andMe?
  • “I mean, we would have to receive a pretty excellent offer to violate our customers’ privacy—which is super important to us. (We reserve the right to also accept offers ranging from “pretty decent” to “doable,” or in the event of our profits not really getting us hard anymore, we may also accept “any” offer.) Your privacy is very important to us.”

  • Workers at 'progressive' Trader Joe's face rampant union busting two years after first store unionized
  • Flyer drop anti TJs info in your store, stop shopping there, wheat paste stories about their union busting ways onto their sidewalks and flyer cars in the parking lot. Picket the stores. Hang a big sign that says “shoplift from us, because we are stealing our employee’s right to representation.”

  • Eric Adams’s Strategy to Hang On
  • Jesus. Adam’s needs to go, and the fact that he’s utilizing the same exact corrupt tactics trump is trying to utilize—well, that should tell you everything. And Cuomo? Come the fuck on. We need new blood, not these types of fuckers who apparently can’t stop doing corrupt ass shit.

  • Sovcit is annoyed.
  • Honestly, it feels even less final than that. From what I can gather, knowing next to nothing about loans and shit, this looks like they secured financing. This is a financing agreement, and doesn’t that mean that they just owe money to someone else? The lien was removed because someone else fronted them the money, no? Maybe an actual adult that has bought a house or a car can speak on this.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?
  • Dude, the casting in Dark absolutely blew my fuckin mind, choom. I don’t want to spoil the plot in the seasons after the first by telling people who haven’t seen it what I mean, but if you’ve seen it you know exactly what I mean.

    Why the hell are there so many 7 trains?

    I don’t use the line often, but every time I do, there’s a train coming every 1-3 minutes. And even during rush hour, the trains are less than half full—literally less than a quarter full. Because there’s always another 1-3 minutes behind that. My more often used lines are coming every 12-15 min. Can’t they repo a few trains from the 7 to spread the love? Wtf mta

    I need help. I saw a trailer for a movie maybe three or four years ago and I can't remember what it's called

    Rough plot synopsis:

    A skinny white cop (I believe with a mustache, brown hair), is depressed. Maybe something happened with his daughter dying or a divorce, maybe both. It was kind of an auteur type film. He ends up going on some sort of reckless crusade against the department, maybe? I remember something about an alcoholic priest too, but that might’ve been another trailer I saw around that time. Or maybe he was an alcoholic himself. (Again, this is a fuzzy memory, sorry.) A scene I vaguely remember is he’s shirtless and maybe his cop car is burning? Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? I really want to find it, it’s been bugging me for literally years. Thanks!

    Anyone here use an ESCO that you recommend?

    I mean, fuck ConEd, amiright? More like CON ed. Gottem.

    So I started looking through the ESCO list, I’m hoping to get a little feedback from anyone else who’s already researched or who already uses one they like or dislike.

    https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/shop-for-energy-service-companies/find-your-esco

    I’d love to use some renewables, and/or save some money. I’m very annoyed that my service charges are almost always higher than my usage costs. I mean, what the fuck? Are they Ticketmaster? There’s no way they need to be taking that much. Absurd.

    So. Anyone?

    I’ve been getting in shape over the past year—one question about focusing on specific area

    I’ve always been thin. So now that I’m getting in shape, achieving abs and upper body strength was relatively straightforward.

    But my ribs have always shown. Especially the bottom of my rib cage. Maybe the last three or four ribs, and it just looks weird. Is there something people would recommend, either diet-wise or (preferably) workouts to target that specific area?

    Help would be appreciated!

    let’s see if anyone is even here: I’ve been looking for a legitimate dispensary. I have questions and everywhere I go these questions are met with, “umm…I dunno. it’ll get you high”

    I’ve been looking for a high CBD, mid-to-low THC strain or tincture. All these gray area operations are garbage. I’ve been to legal countries and states where you can…ask questions and get answers and have knowledgeable conversations with someone with recommendations. These janky-ass bags of high-concept packaging you see littering every sidewalk are bullshit. Open a jar, weigh me out what I ask for, and know some shit about it.

    Anyone got any ideas or a favorite dispensary? I feel like with the bodegas selling, everyone just wanted to hop in with a store front and two glass display cases, and buys everything from one shitty company probably ruining the industry already. (I guess I’m more heated about this than I thought.)

    Any reds are ‘preciated.
