TBF, they had two bids to choose from, with the other being Morocco, who will apparently get to host a World Cup roughly around the time of the heat death of the universe. As the tournament gets bigger, the number of interested parties appears to be decreasing. Plenty of countries willing to declare interest, but presumably the beancounters sit them all down at some point with a list of terrifying numbers, so they drop out. Basically the only people hosting them from here are countries with existing infrastructure, or wealthy regimes who need to sportswash what they've been up to in other areas. 1 minute ago, Richey Edwards said: I am 32 years old.

It's like when commentators come out with shit like "Arsenal haven't beaten Finklebury Amateurs in 83 years", when that's literally the last time they played each other. The States last hosted the World Cup seven tournaments ago - that's the actual statistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't stop, by the way. I'm more than a decade older than you and well on the way to looking like Santa Claus, but elderly folk will still refer to me as a "young man". People remain weirdly in denial about the way time and aging works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still catch myself wandering down the toy aisle in the supermarket in case there's something new that I think my son might like.

Zetterlund Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 That pin neck thread is something else. Imagine following those developments or reading it later and thinking the whole episode reflects positively on Tate and that he 'won'. Anyone in the replies with this opinion should automatically be added to some sort of OFTW database. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Saw an interesting point on twitter earlier that a peculiar thing about a great deal of these guys - Peterson, Tate, Shapiro, Fuentes being some examples - is that they have no charisma whatsoever either. In the most literal sense of the word they are repellent - weird affect, weird accents, cringeworthy personal presentation. Given a lot of their followers are similar maybe that's part of the appeal? Like Tate talks as if the boy from school with a rash on his lip from licking them too much got a lot of money and a public profile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The one conspiracy theory I buy into 100% is that Jordan Peterson is a literal demon. Not metaphorically - he is a demon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrape through the degenerate nonsense, and he makes some good points though. Only thing is, a lot of scraping is required.. “In every lump of shite there’s a bit of sweetcorn” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't agree with his politics but says it doesn't matter because he wrote a book about standing up straight and cleaning your room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like arriving at the Pearly Gates and being waved through by Mr Bean. It'd make taking over pretty easy, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
