  1. That's a questionable number (there have been some estimates as high as 15,000) that was originally reported by The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/23/revealed-migrant-worker-deaths-qatar-fifa-world-cup-2022 Here's a decent fact check of that and other various claims: https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-how-many-people-have-died-for-the-qatar-world-cup/a-63763713
  2. https://boingboing.net/2022/11/16/world-cup-fan-village-being-compared-to-disastrous-fyre-festival-video.html Qatar has been prepping for the FIFA World Cup for 10 years, building stadiums, a new airport, new roads, and much more (to the detriment of at least 6,500 migrant workers, who have died since the constructions began). And their latest project? A "fan village" of shipping containers and tents, each that cost around $200–$300 per night, that will accommodate 60,000 out of 130,000 soccer fans expected to attend, according to Yahoo! Sport. But oops, someone posted a sneak-peek of the "deluxe" accommodations on social media (see video below), and now commenters are half-jokingly comparing the village to the disastrous Fyre Festival.
  3. 15 years younger than Trump. Just saying.
  4. I imagine it's been posted here before, but I saw this sticker on a car this afternoon. Made me chuckle.
  5. I watch every snap of every game. You?
  6. Kirko is going to have his pants around his ankle and the chain on his schlong this week on the plane ride home.
  7. What a game. Vikings could be a 3 or even 4 loss team but they continue to battle and find a way.
  8. Keep talking out your ass.
  9. Should have been a delay of game.
  10. 30-30 overtime. Vikings in field goal range, Bullshit.
  11. That wasn't a catchable ball.
  12. Are you watching a few minutes behind?
  13. They're going to tie this game, aren't they? Furk.
  14. Recency bias and all, but this might be the most incredible regular season football game I've ever seen.
  15. Play will stand, but as a Vikings fan, there's too much time on the clock.
  16. Oh my lord.
  17. JJ is not human.
  18. Better than the new model, honestly.
  19. My mother inlaw bought 2 turkeys a month ago because my father inlaw learned from Fox that there would be an extreme shortage and outrageous prices. I was over there a week ago and he reiterated. "They say it's going to be really bad for turkeys this year." I tried to swallow it, but couldn't, so I replied, "Who's 'they'? The same people who told you my kids would have fentynal mixed in with their snickers for Halloween?"
  20. If you're the owner, don't you have to at least consider taking a one way trip to the vet after that? It'd break my heart, but dogs don't get to do that. This is all assuming it was what it looked like and that dog has shown some aggressive tendencies in the past. Given the way that dude was running after it I can't imagine that was the first time it behaved like that.
  21. He's got the hate though. They'll settle for that.
  22. I hadn't considered this. It's hard to imagine President Desanstis (barf) pardoning Trump.
