Rodatose posted:what I was trying to get at is that football is one of the only chances many kids have of getting out of their town in the south, and to do so they must subject themselves to a realistic risk of dying like they're some sort of gladiator or something. also there's a school-to-prison pipeline that sends kids to prison for seemingly trifling things in order to provide cheap labor to the PIC (prison industrial complex) Volkerball posted:you can sit here and talk about hypothetical nonsense, but the fact of the matter is that the us is rich and has been rich, and yet the us youth system, domestic league, and international team, has been garbage, is garbage, and will continue to be garbage. there's nothing changing that any more than there was in 1990. if you're confident of a us team winning the world cup in your lifetime, i have a bridge to sell you. i can tell you all about why soccer hasn't been a thing in the us until recently and why trajectory for a us world cup win in my lifetime is way more likely than you're making it. (especially as the population of Hispanics increases and concerns about football also increase.) like when there's loving youth soccer leagues in bfe west virginia that are more popular than the pee wee football, i think its pretty fair to say we've turned a pretty big corner. like you literally just said the us won't spend money on sports like the Spaniards did. which is hilarious since literally half the teams in the nfl have a greater value and operating budget than one of the wealthiest teams in the world.

euphronius posted:IMF going to send DSK to rape greek women. uh i believe this is a provision of service and a revenue-positive action for greece regarding prisons, they're a lot like schools in that the funding ain't based on success once you is outta the institution. We need to fund highschools who not only graduate students, but graduate tax-compliant citizens, however they may do so. This is why I oppose CommonCore: It prevents entrepreneurial states from paying for success from schools and forces folks to focus on standardized tests as the one metric worth a drat, rather than total revenue to the state from individual graduates over the next decade of those individuals' lives gently caress common core, yo.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:One of the interesting things about ~~THE CLOUD~~ is that Photoshop is, as far as I can tell, no longer the most pirated software around. that's more because Adobe straight up hosts a fully featured version of one of the more recent Creative Suites for download, for free, with no copy protection. it's creative suite version 2, which does well enough for most non-serious work and ok at really hardcore work. and i think there's a licensing thing there that says a company can't use it for corporate purposes. but lets face it most of the piracy wasn't for companies euphronius posted:r we going to get a embassy we are going to turn our Totally Not An Embassy Building in Havana into a regular embassy, yes

I am not saying it will ever be as big of business as what the NFL is now . i am just saying you're being silly for thinking that the us can NEVER EVER BE GOOD AT SOCCEER BECAUSE IT HASN'T HISTORICALLY
