Corruption is a form of power

I know this but refuse to celebrate it… therefore in my book, corruption is just trash

The leaders of most other countries aren't getting the same privilege as the leader of the US and host nation would

They probably would, they are just not petty or stupid enough to bother asking… or they would have worked it discretely

If you don't acknowledge corruption as a form of power then you're really missing the problem with corruption in the first place.

Already addressed it

it does not matter, he did it and tarnished the USA team… if the team did not play the carded player they could have saved face but they chose to play him fully

I wanted so bad to support our team, but Trump ruined it, like he's ruined everything else

Agreed… I was cheering for them for being the host and underdogs, but tonight I was happy to see them defeated with ease

But fucking Cabo Verde! Damn that was something

how could you not cheer for such an underdog to make the reigning champs sweat bullets??!!!

it was doubly sweet because Argentinians can always eat a bit of humble pie

The USA team could have saved face and not play Balogun but they did… and no, it does not make trump look powerful because everyone knows fifa is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world

If anyone had hopes for the USA team because they are hosts or because they are underdorgs or whatever, that's over… now it's just trump's bitch team

two of the worst Premiers in history hatch a plan… what could go wrong?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

lol a pre bail out… they are already begging for the bubble not to pop

I have a couple friends of ours… he is English, she is Argentinian

I already offered him my couch if such match were to happen, regardless of outcome

except you don't actually "get it" as you keep voting against anyoe that hints at a solution

 

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
