They made June Men's mental health month so closet case men wouldn't feel psychosis during Pride Month.

none of these guys are going to talk to their buddies about their mental health. the ones picked up at home depot certainly aren't going to want to draw state attention to themselves.

here's what we could do instead of pride month or men's mental health month: let the gays be gay, let the trans be trans, and pay people fair wages. i am tired of seeing psych articles tsking at people to open up more. how about $120,000 a year, or reduce cost of living. 'money doesn't buy happiness' is more of a system of diminishing returns. it's always a bunch of sad rich people with zero money-related stress referenced when moralizing the poor about the evils of money. if you have some spending cash, at least you can afford therapy.

america using blatant political corruption to change a very hard-coded rule about football, because ur extra speshul nation, only to get pulverized is extremely funny.

they were going to lose anyway but they could have carried themselves with decency and gone out as hosts who inspire hope in the next sporting generation.

funny how trump at the helm just turns everything into corruption and sleaze and bad vibes. those poor players.

not very impressed with the hosting nations this year. the behavior of mexico has been consistently appalling until 10 lads embarrassed them in their taco-rice bowl in the sky. playing with immense advantage and they still tried to keep the players awake all night. just no sense of fair play. they behaved like dogs and went away whipped like curs. good!

expect england to lose ultimately but at least we play in a way that’s decent and fair. the energy in mexico seemed really evil.

Sometimes playing angry actually works.

At work there's good natured banter but I noticed the whole place went very quiet after that, LMAO.

latin america during these global events really reveals itself as a hardcore 2nd/3rd world polity. the belief that winning by any means is the true aim of sport. the blatant racism against european players (even a paraguayan senator basically made some chimpazee remarks at france's best player).

you simply couldn't pay me enough money to go down there. and i say that as a connoisseur of their main export.

What these savages need to remember is the real point of European sports is not to win or lose, its to suffer in the cold for a bit then have an excuse to go to the pub and get warm.
Anyone who gets worked up over the result is missing the point.

I don't consider it much different than Ronaldo's 3 game suspension being delayed. Plenty of outage over that too from fans but not by UEFA.. FIFA and FIA always chasing views over integrity.

Funny game, duno wtf our keeper was doing during the third goal. Glad Trump helped psych up the other team.

Mexico is always like that but they've toned it down some over the years..

the us already has enough things to get embarrassed by, without the need to dip its toes into football drama. it is funny that fifa spent so much time licking the gunk from between the presidenet's toes only to be treated like this, though.

donald isn't receiving fellatio from infantino anymore, nor can he enjoy basking in the glory radiating from the bread & circus of the world cup.

the outcome? iran ceasefire is over baby! onto the next thing! it really does get tiring, sometimes, having the entire global system basically at the behest of a few malignant narcissist man-children.

it's not a very deep cut but i remember someone telling me that lex luthor becoming president was unrealistic because he was so transparently a villain.

Well Democrats fumbled on the recognizing an obviously evil person before nominating G.P. for senator. Dude had a SS tattoo. That should have been a red flag.

his social media is more damning. (deleted) comments alone make ya question his "we didn't really know what it was when we got it" explanation. he says since military doctors didn't flag him for it, it's ok. lmao.

lmao.

in case you’re not keeping up (and why would you be):

fifa cancelled the match suspension for an american player who was red carded.

they’ve now revised the match ban for an england player who was red carded up to two games. just on the eve of their two most pivotal games.

you can’t make this shit up. the world cup is simultaneously the most significant and popular sporting event in the world and also the most transparently corrupt. it’s a complete fucking clown show. i don’t even care a jot about football but the brazenness of this sort of corruption is very trump-era coded i think. it’s like nobody even gives a shit anymore.

Its not football's fault, every entity which accrues money becomes a honeypot for evil leeches.

My company, which start life trying to make the world a better place, now makes eqpt for the US military using Israeli components and is introducing multiple extra layers of useless management.
I mean I'm trying to bring it down from within but there's only so much one engineer can do.

my eyes could not roll back in my head far enough when i heard him floating getting a card reversed or whatever. very trump. "fire fauci?" energy, rolled out onto social media. he can't help himself.

i thought he was supposed to be the big cheese or something. king trump. why does he need to test the waters on shit social prior to every whim? he's going to do it anyway regardless of what the courts or congress say. pathetic.

him and people who will buy (and mismicromanage) a massive social media company over a spat with their trans daughters have way too much influence.
