So yeah "things" are shittier, because nowadays we have the ability to live in a nearly post-scarcity society but we just don't wanna.

Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries. We've always had the ability to not kill each other or fight for resources. But many people, then and now, don't want that.

The way civilizations/empires/countries have operated has largely been competitive. It's naive to think we'll all just come together and solve these very complicated problems.

Saying that people are stupid or racist... I don't think that barely has anything to do with what prevents all major countries of the world to work together to combat things like disease, climate change, inequality, etc.

Don't like Real Madrid either but rather they win it than PSG, Man City, Chelsea, etc.

But yeah actually I think of the remaining teams I'd love it if Dortmund would win. Bayern rather than Real, Real rather than PSG.

Real Madrid I at least have some respect for as a club and institution. Not that they haven't done morally and legally questionable things, but PSG and City are operating on a whole different level in that regard.

Physical buttons ~~in cars~~

My induction hob, my extractor fan, a light above the countertop... All of these things just in my kitchen don't have physical buttons and I hate it. Physical buttons are so easy to use and in so many ways superior to these "touch" buttons.

Good, but fucking hell. What's racist is the insinuation that some emoji is racist. Some stupid racist people equate black people with monkeys or something? I don't even get what they're trying to imply cause it's so stupid, but the FA is perpetuating this idea and giving racists a bigger platform.

Racism is a huge problem for sure and a lot of work needs to be put into ridding it from our society. Making a fuss over an obviously supportive social media post is not what's needed though, it's just distracting from the real issues.

Manchester City, Chelsea, Sheffield... There are many more clubs with sketchy as fuck owners (or previous owners) who made their money exploiting other human beings. I'm glad there are some leagues with actual rules against these sort of things but in France and especially England it's a free for all where I'm pretty sure Osama Bin Laden and Stalin could have co-owned Everton or something as long as they promised to invest enough (blood) money.

My partner just leaves two bites and doesn't eat it later. I also don't understand. She says she's had enough but if the portion were slightly bigger she'd also leave two bites.

For cookies I get it. I don't know if your cookies are tiny but I leave two or even just one.

Sounds like a nice setup. I have an old laptop I could potentially use for this.

Good stuff, finally a solid defender. I'm curious how they convinced him to come to ajax rather than go to england or Italy.

The Saudi league will never be a top league I think. No offense to anyone but playing for a European club and competing in the champions league will surely remain the ultimate goal for the foreseeable future.

The money is what draws players for the time being. Saudi Arabia has lots of money now but that country is doomed and foreigners are not gonna be happy to live there, especially players' partners. When the extreme amount of spending stops then top players will have no reason to go there.

Cause honestly, why would any top player move there if not for insane amount of money? It's not a nice place to live (especially compared to London, Barcelona, Milan, Munich, etc) and without the champions league and the lack of history of the local league... I feel like they're never going to consistently be able to get top players for the next ten years.

What a fucking banger.

Thanks! Some posts are definitely missing, the ones that are set to Dutch. Good to know. Useful in theory to have a language tag but not ideal it's not clear that many people then won't even see the post or comment.
