  1. These look like the instructional videos that get results.
  2. I hope this isn't in the worst of taste, but ...
  3. Christ dude, you are the biggest dumbass ever.
  4. The lack of a dislike count makes the button useless. Unless I was very interested in seeing a video, when I saw some video with a super high dislike count, I knew it was probably a waste of time. Crap like disinformation, conspiracies, Hell Andrew Tate videos, etc used to get voted down like crazy, They would get 2 Million up, 10 Million down - I knew it was dumb, I would skip it. Now it doesn't matter. You only see 2 Million up.
  5. That's what life is like in a kitchen. I was front of the house at a few hotels, and those arguments all ring true. I've had my fair share. Everyone there believes in customer service and they view it their own way. Or it makes you curl up into the fetal position and cry. I've chatted with a few people that it hits way too true and their PTSD kicked back in.
  6. 3 years ago you say? Could anything have changed on YouTube then? https://youtube-subscribers.medium.com/history-of-youtube-dislike-button-why-was-it-removed-5d4cb50ce829 Oh yeah, they got rid of the Dislike count - the result has been a lot of bad videos bubbling back up to the top. Worst decision Google has ever made.
  7. Nah, he's VanExel123Cancun.
  8. I don't think today will be a bloodbath, but it's going to be a lot of 5s and 6s.
  9. This is a good listen on the Elon/Trump fallout. Recommended if you have the time to listen. I think the most interesting part of the interview is near the end - basically how Elon just doesn't understand how to use his power. Basically he can get on Twitter and throw tantrums - it might rile up some people, but his real power could be making behind the scene phone calls and threaten with money ("Vote for/against this or $100 Million for your opponent"). But he just can't do that, because he has to be in the limelight. The real TL;DL - they have a small cease fire - will it hold? Who knows. Will they get back in good graces? Doubtful, Elon went to far on Trump, Trump won't let him back in. And in the end both men are super unpredictable, so what happens next ... ?
  10. According to many of the articles that is a very small test bed. https://fortune.com/2025/06/10/tesla-robotaxi-launch-austin-residents-vehicles-testing-neighborhood-streets/

  14. I found this - it's pretty good. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45452268/usmnt-depth-chart-ranking-top-15-position-gold-cup-analysis Basically give Poch a little bit of a benefit of the doubt - he needs shore up the defense. Dest has Scally and that's about it. Our CBs are super thin. Jedi is alone. Tyler Adams is irreplaceable right now (despite what that article says). I think our attacking Mids are pretty deep. I get it past CP and Weah our Wingers are blah. But we have strikers (when healthy), so I like our chances. But defense is what you need to win, so ...
  15. I don't totally agree with this. Rockefeller's worth in today's funds is likely right there with Musk. He founded Universities (U of Chicago), Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University). Built Rockefeller Center (Radio City Music Hall). He was doing something right. Maybe it is what @bolverk said - but there used to be a generation that did right by the people.
  16. That is them holding their balls up as a sacrifice to Trump. They are pussies, they missed the script of what it means to be the richest men in the world. Look back at the history of the US - Andrew Carnegie, Leland Stanford, Cornelius Vanderbilt, JD Rockefeller - these guys didn't just have a shit ton of money, they have their names on schools, philanthropy, centers for the arts, etc. They understood that they needed to give back, not just hoard it all. The modern billionaire is just about getting theirs and the plebians can get fucked.
  17. Like I said, the drop off is steep from the A squad is pretty steep, but who do you want/expect? Just assume our best 11 (debate it whatever): Matt Turner Antonee Robinson, Chris Richards, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and SergiΓ±o Dest Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, and Gio Reyna Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun, Tim Weah Of that 11 Injured (4) Robinson, CCV, Dest, Balogun Club World Cup (3) McKennie, Reyna, Weah "out" (1) Pulisic On the team (3) Turner, Richards, Adams So basically we only have 4 available to the team. What should Poch do?
  18. Here were the first 11 matches for Berhalter (11 because he did make the Gold Cup Final, not because he lost it):
  19. Same article from the NY Times, gift link https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/business/elon-musk-trump-feud.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OE8.eg9e.ETFlJM8jar4r&smid=url-share What a cuck.
  20. If this was the #1s, I agree with this, but it wasn’t. I mean this was a C squad at best out there. It was a chance to see some guys under pressure and a lot of them wilted. It was bad yes, but like others have said a lot of this squad is not going to sniff the field next year. One thing is the gap between the A and B squad is huge (not to mention to these C guys). I get what Poch wants to do, see if he can get guys to bridge that gap, but that is a huge jump, I don’t know if it happens. I don’t see any guys ready to make that jump. In the short term what do we do? We gotta hope we have our #1s ready for next year. If we e don’t we at fucked. Someone else said fire all of US Soccer. They aren’t wrong. The state of the entire program is a major indictment to nearly everything that transpired post-Klinsmann. He said what the federation should do, and they did just about the opposite. They used to foster hungry guys, now everyone is entitled and soft. Yes, Berhalter was a problem, but more symptom than the real illness. I think some of the recent changes (the appointment of Brian Crocker for example) are attempts to fix things, but they’re way, way too late and also not deep enough into the core of the federation’s mission.

  22. I can’t really put this on him. I mean that defense is letting the Swiss have wide open shots. He’s in a fucking shooting gallery out there.
  23. Well good for Malta. When did they fall down 4-0?
  24. And Donovan.
