Also CNN pretty much has a livefeed of what Israel is doing. Most of it's just photos of dead children, I'd say that's pretty critical.

Those google workers were fired for defacing the google cloud offices and shouting threats at their coworkers, more than they were fired for protesting. Columbia University had to send in riot police because pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protestors were kicking off and the school had to close it's campus because it couldn't guarantee safety of students. The commencement speakers thing is probably the most egregious of those 3 things... but really is a graduation ceremony the appropriate avenue for making highly political statements on an issue that's incredibly divisive? Either way, none of those examples demonstrate anything the US is doing because 1.) google isn't the US government, 2.) Columbia and USC aren't the US government, 3.) even the state funded universities in the US aren't the US government - they're funded by the states they reside in. Is there any limit to the sort of bad behavior the zealots amongst the "globalise the intifada" crowd will tolerate for their cause? Is it not enough to call for perpetual bloodshed in the Middle East?

It's almost as if fixture congestion isn't actually their concern whatsoever and that what they really want is to clear out low-paying domestic games from their calendar to make room for even more money-spinning UEFA fixtures...

Just read news, I'd missed when they were more highly current. Leading AFD politician is brought to court for "using symbols of unconstitutional and terroristic organisations" because the infamous SA slogan "Alles für Deutschland" (translates to "Everything for Germany") in a public speech. Thought that might interest you @OrangeKhrush since you said there were no fascist tendencies in the AFD whilst repeatedly calling the governmental parties Nazi without any calms. PS: In case you don't know who SA were, just google them. You can colour me surprised, if the English speaking first research site wouldn't suply them given foreigners obsession with that part of German history.

No. They are just folded.

Ah yes the EFL trophy that has non-league teams in it? You've actually just emphasised the point that everyone is making here. It's all about money isn't it? FA Cup holds no value without the top clubs in it. Those clubs wield too much power over the PL and FA. So you've got your way and you just expect other clubs to bow down to the superiority. As long as you get your way that's fine.

Hey! Since when would propaganda care about reality?

That's where their big money is. But I find it amusingly ironic (or infuriatingly ironic?) that the bigger clubs and their managers complain about fixture congestion but then some of them (the clubs) were twerking for this new Super League which would have given them a lot more congestion anyway. It's just another nail in the coffin for any fan that has some kind of morales and appreciates the essence of the game as opposed to chasing where the money is.

They have massively dropped the ball there haven't they. What makes me laugh is, how are the Premier League dictating that replays can't be played in the first two rounds which PL clubs don't even participate in? You're talking about 20 clubs in the PL,(and realistically, you can probably narrow that down to 6-8 clubs), who have managed to get this change enforced at the spite of over 700 over clubs that are allowed to particpate in the competition. Madness. The fact that the EFL were not even consulted also is shocking. The only solution to me now would be drastic action. In a show of solidarity lower league clubs should withdraw from participating and throw it into absolute chaos.

We know all about South Africa mate

Ridiculous decision made with only the 'elite' clubs in mind who moan about having to play the extra games when they can't get the job done in the first legs. Replays in the FA Cup have provided lower league teams with chances to go to stadiums they wouldn't usually get to see their teams play at, they've provided lower league teams with chances to go on magic cup runs, and they've brought in revenue for the lower league teams that helps them stay afloat in some cases. Why were the Premier League consulted but not the EFL?

@Tommy you have more to add to the clan.

I still eat pizza here. Well aware it isn't the same as having it in Italy but it isn't like you can't have what's generally a nice dish that's quite hard to get completely wrong. I'll always unfortunately be a sucker for that greasy meat feast pizza. Probably explains quite a lot. Very much on the anti pineapple bandwagon though. Just thoroughly unpleasant.

I can tell you really hate burritos from this picture

Send them my way, and I'll call them pinche gringos.

Also, genuine apologies for missing a few rounds. My wife has been pregnant (had a son 12 days ago) so yeah, life.

As much as it's not technically what the OP is asking I guess, after eating any Italian food in Italy and then eating it anywhere else is worlds apart. I know that eating any dish in its home country is different but seriously, you're not eating pizza in England.

It's more likely you'll get something than us not messing up our games

I can get more use out of a strawberry than I can having @Whiskey as a teammate.

A single player, open-world pirate RPG game where choices matter. A truly open-world, free-roam Star Wars game where you can travel around a fully-explorable vast universe (generated like in Space Engine) doing whatever the fuck you want. An open-world hard sci-fi game with heavy focus on diplomacy, politics, trade, colonization, science & technology, terraforming of planets, etc. Preferably based on The Expanse, or just something similar. A historically accurate game about preparing for and embarking on expeditions. Polar expeditions, Africa, Asia, etc. A mix of survival + sailing/traveling + making discoveries. A single-player game set in pre-Colombian Americas, with historically accurate representation of nations/tribes. Heavy focus on politics, trade, culture. A racing driver simulator where you start from grassroots motorsports as a kid, and move up the career ladder through various racing series. Similar to above, an immersive first-person football player simulator game where you start in youth academy as a kid and try to make it to the top, and including detailed events both on and off the pitch. Something similar to the concept in I am Playr, which was a brilliant idea. A proper game based on LOST TV series. So many possibilities there. More couch co-op narrative-driven adventure games with a well-written story.

I really don’t care for this sort of shit. Anyone that thinks food is a static idea that can’t or shouldn’t change with the people, ingredients, location, and times is just a food fascist masturbating to themselves on the idea of what something ‘should be’, it’s the same as people that bully or shame food based on their class, culture, or religion. Yeah, American cafes butcher the flat white coffee, who gives a shit? It’s all just a variation, extrapolation, riff, modification of something else. You want food purity? Go eat some unprocessed grains and a hunk or burnt meat in a cave. I do agree it sucks paying money for a shitty facsimile.

Get to see him this autumn. So excited.
