God this is so depressing. Remember when people were actually INTERESTED in things and learned because they were curious and stimulated. Fuck all of these little corporate know nothings and their cheat-machine. If I were teaching these classes, I'd be standing these kids up in front of the class and asking them probing questions about the essay topics they wrote about and grading them purely on demonstrated knowledge.

How funny will it be when all of the seats are empty? Americans don't care about soccer, this event will be funded by tourism and now those folks will be opting out. If I were planning this event I'd be livid. Vance, shut your stupid fucking mouth and never speak again as long as you live.

Camacho would be an improvement, he listened to people smarter than him.

Do you want to tell them that people with a diminishing budget and ballooning costs will simply stop buying toys, or shall I?

God Rochester MN is a weird cult of deranged rich white people.

I know, it's such a basic idea right? And yet we spend so much mental energy opposing the inevitable. And, to OP's point, punishing ourselves for not being unwavering and flawless in a wavering and flawed existence.

A core Buddhist concept is impermanence, the idea of constant change in our world, and letting go of fixed ideas and outcomes.

I'm sure they're probably a good idea, I'm just crabby.

Rightwing populism is killing America. Take note, Europe. It starts with unrelenting right wing punditry and "news." Crush misinformation sources before they become movements.

Welp, all the trees are gone but at least there are these cloudy stinking tanks of goo everywhere. Does anything not dystopian happen anymore? Like these things are a set piece from Blade Runner FFS.
