Messi is 39, Ronaldo is 41- not exactly a gigantic difference there. He's also legitimately the best player in the world, even if it's exaggerated somewhat by celebrity, and had that reputation even before he became FIFA's flagship player to try to sell the beautiful game to the world's few holdouts against it.

England is still bitter over the 1986 game where Maradona scored a goal off a handball and the ref let it stand, Argentina hates England because of nonsensical posturing over the Malvinas.
It's white people acting like Balkaners all around.

There have been a lot of fouls in this world cup but Argentina has had, just like previous world cups, a lot of them.

Using doordash is strongly anti-correlated with income, actually.

Women were not pulled out of the home by economics. It was culture- male wages were steadily rising and the US did not experience prolonged unemployment during the period when it shifted from unusual to the default. That cultural shift had knock on economic effects.

The tradition in apostolic churches is to introduce the Christian teaching on marriage with John Chrysostom for that reason.
I know that Protestants do not do patristics to nearly the same extent. But before saying things like ‘Christian marriage was the norm in ancient Rome’ it’s probably worth looking at what ancient Christian preachers were criticizing in marriages.

Some people are just wrong- Dulce et decorum est. They’re committing treason and that’s it.

My understanding was that although very few countries bother to do much persecution of homosexuals, there’s plenty of countries where informal lynchings of sodomites are common and ignored by the police.

Well they should. Germany should just summarily execute the draft dodgers- shipping them back to their country is a light sentence.

Uh, aren’t they all transgender furries? I agree that at the end of the day, guy with gun is going to beat computer programmer. But eunuchs often don’t care.

Blue tribe America likes English soccer- well not really, they don’t actually like sports, but they claim to like English soccer, so they’re probably watching a World Cup semifinal with England in it. Especially after Norway lost(backing Norway was trendy enough to make this World Cup more popular than usual).

The England-Argentina soccer rivalry is one of the bitterest in the game.

STDs do impact female fertility though.

The Israelites definitely knew about STDs, Leviticus contains specific regulations for dealing with what was probably gonorrhea.

It was also new- syphilis had not been in Europe prior to the discovery of the new world.

Your daily reminder that the Catholic Church does not waste exorcist’s time with cases that haven’t been signed off on by a shrink as ‘yes, is possessed, not just crazy’- and every case of a psychiatrist claiming to have seen exorcism work is because he(and this is normally a man) was contracted by the Catholic Church to do this.

Impregnating slaves and then committing infanticide was the first moral crusade of the Christian church; it was acceptable in Rome and Greece, but strongly opposed by both Christianity and Judaism. This is well recorded as a controversy in the christianization of Scandinavia.

People are very good at not noticing things that are taboo. It’s the same thing every time- Scott just lives in a bubble where stigmatizing homosexuality is taboo.

Have you considered hanging out with families that have kids who are a bit older? Little kids love teenagers and tweens and will prefer to bother them instead. And girls don't really need to be coaxed to not complain about it.

The Quebecois were pretty close for a while, and they were 'normal for the nineteenth century' religious rather than the literal Amish.

Indeed, most women would never fall for that scam.

if the man wants to divorce for a younger, more fertile woman to have more kids then that's fine
I'm always down for pushback against our resident misogynists not wanting to uphold the male end of the historic social contract. But I haven't actually heard one of them say that.

Both you and @omw_68 are wrong, for the simple reason that non-Israeli Jews have very low fertility. On the other hand, the nonzionism hypothesis- that Israeli society is set up so that everyone is trying to imitate a higher fertility group, even if indirectly- passes the immediate smell test.
Never heard the Trump angle, but it doesn't sound like Trump. Maybe something that someone whispered to him and he then did, but if FIFA could totally change their refereeing in response to Trump they would've done it for the Belgium-USA game. With the amount of money they're making having the US as a host- and the amount of money they stand to make from the USA going to quarters- they'd have already done it if they could.
