Man, the Super Bowl being an absolute shitshow is funny though. Too bad Philly's crime rates are gonna go up anyways. :story:

...so anyone else here think it's rigged? 'cause I hate to go 100% tin-foil hat, but I noticed there was a lot of suspicious pro-Eagles stuff in the media (like Skeet Davidson holding a bedazzled fake Eagles trophy while wearing a godfather t-shirt with his thumb up in multiple tabloid photos this week. Mob fix, perhaps?) Mahomes wearing Eagles colors, etc.

That seems like a much better deal than many have in America. Their personal savings rate is fair better than Americans. They apparently save 30% of their income, according to the article I posted.

Your first mistake is trusting journo's to get things right, even when they try they miss things or make mistakes. How well connected is the lady's family? Who you know goes a long way in China.

Race is real. The big thing we gain by bringing a bunch of White South Africans is that they:
1. Boers are White. They'll have an average IQ of around 100, and they'll be very racially similar to around 50% of Americans and very close to the 30-40% that are Hispanic and have a degree of White admixture.
2.Boers speak English, even with an accent that is better than many Hispanics
3. Boers are farmers and America is deporting their illegal slave farm hands. Maybe they can help train new farmers in America?
4.Boers come from a Protestant cultural background, similar to most Americans.
These are the points in favor. There are positives and negatives. I don't have a strong opinion either way.

bored so ill go back to my niche:


US President Donald Trump said Sunday that the three Israeli hostages who were released by Hamas a day earlier looking gaunt and frail resembled Jews under Nazi Germany, warning that “at some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.”

Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami “looked like Holocaust survivors,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. “They were in horrible condition, they were emaciated… and I don’t know how much longer we can take that.”

He went on to say the trio “look like they haven’t had a meal in a month,” and that they are “people that were healthy people a reasonably short number of years ago, and you look at them today, they look like they’ve aged 25 years, they literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors, the same thing. No reason for that.”

Trump noted that according to the current ceasefire and hostage deal, captives are supposed to “keep drippling in,” but added: “They are in really bad shape, they have been treated brutally, horribly. Even the ones that came out earlier, they were in a little bit better shape, but mentally they were treated so badly. Who could take that?

“You know, at some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.”

Trump also told reporters he remained committed to having the US buy and take ownership of Gaza after Palestinians leave or are removed from the enclave, a surprise announcement he made February 4 during Netanyahu’s recent visit to Washington. He said other countries may take part in rebuilding sections of Gaza.

“As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it, other people may do it, through our auspices. But we’re committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn’t move back.”

Lol, the crowd at the Superbowl booed Swift when she was shown on the big screen but went nuts cheering when Trump was.

There's been a huge paradigm shift in the US.

I think that has less to do with politics and more so how last year football fans hated that the entire game was set aside to dote on Taylor Swift in an attempt to make Swifties into football fans.
Football die hards, the kind to attend a Super Bowl, genuinely hate her

Why would they trick you by showing the team that is winning being the ultimate winner? Wouldn’t it be the other way where they try to get you to lose

Iger doesn't want to be Apple, he wants to be President. And he's so fucking woke, he resigned so he could have everything crash and burn under his woke policies under his replacement, who was then forced out be abuse of Igers woke policies harming Disney so he could then come back and "save the company" and increase his public standing in the lead up to him inevitably running

Yeah, but it's completely backfiring on him because the decisions he's made have ruined Disney's cachet and cheapened the brand.

I thought the big thing about the Super bowl was supposed to be the advertisements? Are they lame now that the USAID funded ads had to be pulled?
Click to expand...
Nah they've been lame for the past few years. This year they are good, better than they have been in recent years (but I guess that's due to no race baiting) but no outright bangers.

That mountain dew one with the sea lions has potential to be the next puppy monkey baby though.

There are people who think elections aren't rigged or that the news is organic and balanced; or that the economy is a meritocracy and bankers fund what they fund purely for profit motivated reasons.

There are even people who clinge to WWE wrestling being real:

I am fine with this. I remember travelling in Europe about 15 years ago and countries like the Netherlands just rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents and didn't use the penny euro coin. It's a sad realization of where we are but no need for them, just zillow the pennies or something, sheeeeeeeeit.

A lot of people have been campaigning for this. I think inflation should rather go down so the penny is worth something again.

We probably have too much physical money circulating as it is now, so this might be a good thing.

My grandpa was part of a political group dedicated to getting rid of the penny due to how wasteful it is.


RIP grandpa
