FIFA will do everything in it's power to help the US team win the world cup.

Football is big everywhere except the USA. A win would boast it's popularity and get them watching the sport.

Food vendors on beaches deliberately attract seagulls to earn more money replacing the food the gulls stole

This seems like a very specific denial. Why would they bother specifying? I think that food vendors take the food they don't sell that's about to go bad, and give it to the gulls. This lowers their fear of humans and shows them the Risk vs Reward of being near us.

We all know birds are untrustworthy tricksters, conspirators, and amoral thieves. They are also deceptively cunning and intelligent. They understand their role in all this. They know that the better they do their job, the more tasty stale hot dog buns they get. The more food gets stolen, the more money the food vendors get.

If you don't hear from me again, just know that they got me for exposing the beach vendor cartel.

Lies will lock you up. The truth is the only key.

USA was put in Group D to increase their chance of being the last co-host standing

Group C got skipped so that co-hosts were in different brackets, but why USA specifically moved into the later groups? I think it's because even if the USA doesn't progress to a later round than their co-hosts, they would at least be able to claim they were the last host to be knocked out (so long as they didn't finish 3rd in their group) to satisfy egos.

Spiders have stolen my favourite bra either in retribution or for rent money

The invasion began a few weeks ago. Cautions had been repeatedly issued. Reminders that they do not pay rent here and need to get the hell out have been provided. Examples had been made. I put screens over my windows. I put peppermint oil around the flat.

And now my favourite bra is missing. And I think I know who took it.

The spiders have either hidden it in an unknown location outside of my tiny flat and are using their multitude of legs to type a long threat, negotiate arms deals, and make tiny obscene gestures at me. Or... They are really hell bent on moving in. They think I won't notice my favourite bra is gone. They are trying to sell it to perverts on the internet and have no idea what the going rates for rent in Zone technically-still-London are.

Jerks.

They're paying celebrities to attend the world cup games

So many shots of random celebrities at games looking bored out of their minds and on their phones. They're being paid to be at the games so they can pretend that soccer is more popular than it actually is in the US

Language learning apps are deliberately designed to be slow and ineffective to make you use them longer and thus give the company more money.

It’s designed to make you feel like you’re learning something, when in actuality you’re being lead on for months while you get ads shoved down your throat. If you actually felt comfortable in your ability to speak a second language, you wouldn’t be using the service. This is why the free market can’t be trusted. Its not in a companies best interest to actually teach you anything.

Taylor Swift voted for Trump but said she didn't purely because of the optics

Marrying a MAGAtard at a corporate sponsored wedding that was so tacky it would make Trump blush. Not to mention the ICE contractor being invited. Her love life is a business decision, so why would anything else in her life be any different? She's part of the 1%, and the 1% benefit enormously from Trump being in power.

The “Mandela Effect” is caused by Time Travel

The reason why so many South Africans recall Nelson Mandela dying in prison is because some guy from the future went back to time to change Nelson’s fate and make him President of South Africa.

But, in the future, the Government eventually banned time travel because people kept going back to do things like take the monocle off the Monopoly guy or change the Toons in Looney Toons into Tunes and it was just annoying so they just said “no, no more of that” and banned it.

People always gotta fucking ruin things, man.

Outjerked by Gianni Infantino: Is FIFA actively suppressing Nazi legacy?

Hear me out lads, I’ve been doing some deep tactical analysis and I’ve uncovered a massive FIFA conspiracy. Infantino is running a script, and it’s explicitly anti Nazis.

​Look at the facts:

​Italy: Literally didn’t even qualify. Coincidence? Or is FIFA still punishing them for WW2?

​Germany & Croatia: Absolute VAR robbery. Disallowing Tah's and Gvardiols goal because of clear and obvious errors is a masterstroke

​Japan: GONE. Suicided out of the tournament the second they looked dangerous.

​Meanwhile, USA (the ultimate Yanks 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾) get bailed by the Trump card and England are protected by the scriptwriters.

​Is FIFA trying to rewrite history and let the French win again like at Dunkirk?

Dreamworks’ Anastasia is a hit piece on communism

20th Century Fox created Anastasia in 1997, about 6 years after the fall of communist Russia. I believe this film was created purely to dismiss the USSR. The uprising was caused by a curse from Rasputin, not workers uprising and it can all be saved if only we reinstall the monarchy!

EDIT: it was 20th century Fox, not Dreamworks!

Texas made the default license plates boring so that people would pay extra to get a nice looking one

Look at this bullshit. No color, no images that say “Texas” besides the tiny, barely visible outline of the state. The official explanation given is that cops find the bare plates easier to read and motorists prefer a neutral design. But I think they made the plates boring so that drivers would pay extra to get a plate with a nice design.

Game companies are remaking old games to train their new generation of game devs

Because their games have been so bad, they resort to remaking old games not only for easy money, but also to try to train up and get their new developers to be better on a project where they can learn from past games that were great. Halo CE, Assassins Creed, etc.

Lego and equivalent products purposely make their kits more complicated than is structurally or aesthetically required to make you feel like the build is more worth your time and effort

It’s one thing to reuse parts, for example, when Lego repurposed Superman’s cape for their rose petals, or frogs for their cherry blossom tree. It’s a nice Easter egg, it’s cost effective, and it’s environmentally friendlier.

However.

I’ve built a couple of sets now where there are a whole lot of steps in the middle to build something that is ultimately hidden in the final build. The worst culprit by far has to be the Lego “Four Gentleman”/ Seasonal Flowers collection. There’s so many pieces in the base that end up being hidden, and are definitely not there for a structural purpose. At least sometimes it’s for a cute reason, like the build including a coin in the pot as a reference to feng shui.

Then, the RASTAR tech RB19. Oh dear. I got this one for Christmas and only recently got around to building it. Why, pray tell, am I asked to use four 1x1 blocks when a 4x1 brick would be faster and more stable? And why are they able to print the decals on the nose cone of the car, but I have to deal with 50 fiddly stickers for the rest of the build? Why does the build guide make it almost impossible to see the difference between blue and black pieces, as well as piece orientation? And why are there random extra pieces in here?

It’s simple: these companies need to justify the price of their products. By making them over complicated, they make you feel like you’ve achieved something great when you finish the build.

But I see through you and your tiny pieces. Count your days the way I had to count those 1x1’s.

If things keep going this way, we'll have to report Adam Baldwin missing!

Something's definitely off with Adam Baldwin's recent appearances! It's so strange that Adam's been wearing the same t-shirt at all his public appearances at cons lately. Could it be that it's not even him, but someone else in his place and the footage was created using AI? Because not too long ago, Zachary Levi posted a video about how to turn a still photo into a moving image and how with the help of this app, you can make it look like someone is there when they actually aren't. Since he always wears the same T-shirt and baseball cap, I suspect they used that photo for the AI videos. The only possible reason for this is that he was either kidnapped and is being held captive somewhere, or he was killed.

If all this is happening because of the Chuck movie, just so Yvonne Strahovski and her lovers can keep playing out their soap opera (which was already terrible even when it was a TV series) and turn Adam into the main villain then all hell will break loose, because they’re the ones who should be the villains. But who knows maybe they’re using this to make recordings so they can falsely accuse him or blackmail him into leaving the film industry and stole his roles. They’re the ones who should disappear for good, because they’re boring, run-of-the-mill actors with no “it” factor or charisma. What Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Ryan McPartlin his sons, and Sarah Lancester are doing is a crime.

Paid subscription streaming services put up clips of their own films on Youtube Shorts to entice people to subscribe.

Loads of clips of movies that were not so popular with a unique or interesting thing going on. You're supposed to think it is people farming it for cash, which is why they alter them (reversing the image, adding a colour filter) to make it seem like they are hiding from the big bad IP owner. But they are doing it to pretend to hide from themselves.

Then you Google the movie and find you have to get a niche subscription or pay extra for it.

We have gone from bots pretending to be people to people pretending to be bots pretending to be people. Or maybe actually bots pretending to be people pretending to be bots pretending to be people.

The Japanese government deliberately keeps the country socially and technologically stagnant just so anime and manga from 20 years ago stay relevant.

Hear me out. Have you ever wondered why a country known for high-tech still uses flip phones, fax machines, and tons of paper bureaucracy? It’s all a massive government cover-up to protect the Media Mix!

Think about it, a manga started in 2004 gets an anime adaptation in 2014, and people are still watching it today. If Japan adapted to modern technologies and completely changed its lifestyle, those adaptations would instantly lose their relatability and vibe. By keeping the high school uniforms, the flip phones, and the overall aesthetic the same for decades, they ensure that older anime never feels outdated.

Even their birth rate crisis fits this! So many romance and slice-of-life manga rely heavily on the drama of shrinking school clubs or government matchmaking programs. If Japan fixed its demography, half of the modern anime plots would fall apart and become alternate history.

The Japanese government is basically the world's biggest production assistant, sacrificing real-world progress to protect the manga timelines!
