Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"

#the first time I was exposed to one these tricks I genuinely read the line #and took it to be a kind of second trick I guess #I was like they must’ve copy and pasted this from a template bc it doesn’t make any sense #to just not do the experiment related to what we’ve been talking about

survival mechanism they don’t emphasize enough is memorizing a poem. you memorize a poem you have a little lift raft for a variety of situations

A lot of Americans are too brainwashed to realize this but you have absolutely 0 reasons to hate Iran and Iran has every reason in the world to hate the US.

The US has always been the primary structural agressor in this relationship. The 1953 coup, the decades of sanctions, the military encirclement, repeated threats of regime change, decades of anti Iranian policy (by every single administration) and all the war crimes we're seeing take place now. This entire environment was built by the US.

It's time to either stfu about Iran or read up and start supporting the only country in the world willing to fight back against this violent colonial entity

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

Iran were hustled out of the United States so quickly that the team’s players had to be iced and bandaged on the plane back to their base in Mexico. [...]

The impact on players has been so disruptive that it is hard to fully estimate, Mr. Araujo said. Iran’s squad has had to make do without its media officers, analysts and other staff members required to carry out crucial tasks like managing mid-game substitutions. [...]

Boarding the plane presented its own challenges. A checkpoint was set up yards from their airplane, where two at a time, Iran’s players and delegation underwent a second screening after already having cleared security checks and passport control inside the airport. “It took more than three hours to get inside the plane,” Mr. Araujo said.

this is security theatre performed solely to humiliate the completely civilian representatives of another country and arguably, a bit of cheating to prevent even a minor bit of sporting success that could rally the iranian people and/or make the usmnt look bad.

Anyways one of my favourite sports writers is Jonathan Liew but he isn't covering the world cup this year. His essay on experiencing it outside the media bubble concludes "To see this World Cup for what it truly is: utterly gripping at times, diverting at others, disposable for the most part. A kind of beautiful human-made slop, the flower arrangement at the gates of hell."

I know a lot of pit pigs say that deodorant should still be socially expected by default and that smelling like body odor in public is still gross/wrong even if it's hot. But I'm still holding strong with believing that deodorant should not be a daily necessity but rather should be used on a case-by-case or person-to-person basis, and I do genuinely believe in my heart that society would improve if we all wore deodorant less and got a little more okay with the natural smell of a human body

Thinking body odor is gross is literally a cultural condition. The vast, vast majority of humans throughout history and many many people alive TODAY all around the globe find body odor completely unremarkable and normal in pretty much all contexts.

Like this isn't even a position motivated by kink for me, i just wish fewer people believed that the natural state of their body, and other people's bodies, was inherently disgusting or wrong!
