Re: The Autism Thread
All great stuff in this thread today, except for the show closing early. This thread is always a gamble, don't know if you are getting heartwarming stories, or angry.

Re: Ball of Confusion
My mother points out specific chants and signs with antisemitic messages. I don't think she believes the majority of protesters are antisemitic, but being born at the end of WW2, she has some strong fears. I get that I can't get that, if that makes sense. Out of curiosity, where does she stand on w...

Re: Ball of Confusion
I'm sure there are some anti-semetic people at the rallies (and anywhere else people gather), but these protests are against the Israeli gov't, not jewish people. Otherwise, there are a whole lot of anti-semetic jewish people both there and living around me and in Isarel, etc, etc. Framing it as an...

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
Yeah, agreed. What bugs me the most about VAR is that when you slow down footage to a frame by frame viewing, EVERYTHING* looks like a serious foul/infraction. I don't mind freeze framing offsides and handballs, but fouls should mostly be viewed in real time mode. Agree with all of this. I was thin...

They gave TikTok 9 months instead of 6 to be transferred. So surprise, surprise. It won't mess with the election. But yes, the move is massively tone deaf and partially hypocritical since there's been outreach to influencers to get folks to vote. Not to mention Biden recently created a TikTok accou...

So, if I understand this correctly, the TikTok bill going through Congress right now is designed to force them to transfer ownership to an American entity.
