In Lesotho (and I assume other developing countries that teach the English standard) they use those phrases because the 24-hour day and 60-minute hours are a foreign concept to many kids and their families.

Nah this is a devolution.

The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she's clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn't align with her picture.

Then we've replaced the cat with Skeltor... for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don't we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?

It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.

What's with all these weird misused memes

We are so spoiled with these young players

Why not make leagues separated by performance only? Because when talented women work hard to excel at a sport, they deserve recognition for that beyond merely being allowed to compete with people who have testosterone increasing their physical abilities.

I compete in Taekwon-Do tournaments, and I train others to compete. I have a really badass young woman who trains really hard, and on top of it all she's extremely talented. If she keeps it up, after a few years she could be up there with the best in the world... among women. ALSO she literally won the [redacted because I realized someone could find her name lol, it's a small sport with few seriously competitive people] women's world championship for the US, just as a side project. That girl cannot compete with men at a high level. I'm still leagues below the guys who go to the world championships, never mind win them. I would blow her and her competition out of the water if you made me seriously compete with them. She deserves an environment where she can compete with people at the same weight class and born with a similar enough body, and when she wins she deserves to be called the best. Not "congratulations, you're good enough to spar with the lower end of the guys."

Uncultured, clearly hasn't read enough Discworld.

Starting to realize what I miss about soccer, and why I enjoy following Arsenal (or just sports in general) and it's to do with how serious the people at that level take their job and work together. I only finished college a few years ago but the adult world really lacks passion. It seems like everybody is only trying to be as good as everyone else, and there's so much fear to give a damn and to try to do better because you might fail. That's how it feels anyway.

I've been a Peace Corps volunteer for a year now and it's just a tough pill to swallow that even folks working for NGOs, hospitals and clinics fighting the tail end of the HIV pandemic are still just going through the motions.

I guess that's what I admire about these teams that are pushing the limits and trying to be the best in the world. They have massive structures for data analysis and medical facilities for the athletes, they are ruthless with people who don't do their job and it all comes down to these 90-minute games where the stakes are very real.

Found this. Basically the claim here is that funds were allocated to this project, and although some of those funds were redirected, congress never deallocated the rest, and therefore they have to continue to be used. I'm not totally convinced but it's a more nuanced take than the comments here.

I've forgotten how to find and subscribe to a community on an instance other than the one I'm on. Once I get some time to reassociate myself I'm sure I can figure it out again but it's not intuitive.

For most people in the US at least they can only identify iPhone or non-iPhone.

Odegaard's goal from last night is my favorite of the recent seasons I think. Beautiful one.
