This article isn’t about the team, but the Thai people did not seem offended.

Someone doesn't know what they're talking about... What shit hole country you from boy? 

1) Having been on the wrong end of some really bad soccer blowouts, it’s more insulting when the other team starts clowning around and and not trying. Going easy is much more disrespectful to the game and to your opponent.

if the men’s team scored this many and celebrated the same way after goal 5, we’d be having the same discussion.

Once more for the criminally angery sportsmanship folks: there is goal differential in play. This is the highest tournament at the highest level for women’s soccer. Score as much as possible, advance, win. This isn’t for warm fuzzies this is for all the marbles and 13-0 means USWNT doesn’t have to sweat a tie breaker…

what is her position on polearms in tes vi? she is pro them, then its a deal.

I LOVE Tale of the Forsaken Land.

That doesn’t fit history: the Republicans consistently resisted national control over businesses, and isolationism was strong (but not really dominate) in the Republican party. Neither of those fit fascism well.

America’s has a lot of neo-Confederacy stuff that I frankly thought was a bit much even for this game

I picked it up again this weekend because of all the news coverage. I don’t think I got past my first winter when a Dwarven Were-Zebra invaded my fort. I goofed my entrance, so I was doomed from the start, but I valiantly tried to create a last minute militia to deal with the threat.

Every time I read anything about this game I want to love and play it, but then I do and it sucks.

Didn’t say it was, did say that just saying “coup” a lot in relation to opposition to Maduro isn’t a fair reading of the situation.

Oh it somehow is a coup - despite the fact that only democratic process left in the country (an election) removed Maduro from office?

Ah, yes, I’m the troll:

Great comment, thanks. Pointing out that most of Splinter’s writers function on the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and not some validation of the person himself, is indication enough that either some kind of morale is in short supply (a drug lord like Maduro, really?) or research.

Saying it is a coup implies that he has legitimate power to govern the country. That clearly isn’t the case. 

Didn’t say it was, did say that just saying “coup” a lot in relation to opposition to Maduro isn’t a fair reading of the situation.

And as for Venezuela—a country with a repressive leader who just tonight detained a group of journalists including Jorge Ramos of Univision

Will this mean Splinter will actually start critically looking at Maduro and acknowledge the fact he’s an authoritarian ruler, rather than just saying that because the US adm. is taking advantage of the situation for shitty ends it means this whole thing is a coup?

I’ll buy people not making judgements on Chicago PD statements, but pretty much all I’ve read has been procedural updates. Basically “We’ve picked up two guys”, “We’re releasing those two guys”, “We’re still investigating” etc. I haven’t seen the PD saying Smollett was involved or that even a crime one way or the…
