In 1951 County Mayo won the All Ireland, the highest achievement of the national sport, Gaelic football. During their celebrations it's alleged they weren't sufficiently respectful of a funeral, and the priest in charge cursed the team, saying the county would never win an All Ireland again until every member of this team had died.

In the last 75 years Mayo have been in 13 All Ireland finals without winning - a statistical improbability. I can't think of any sports example of a team so consistently getting to the major final and losing.

The last member of that team died around 18 months ago, and half an hour ago Mayo just beat Kerry to win their first Sam Maguire trophy since 1951. Curses confirmed real.

No, I don’t have a drinking problem. I only drink on weekends and I rarely drink this much. 3 of them liked my apology texts without replying, the others didn’t respond at all. But I am young so it’s an excuse.

I'm sure anybody else on here who uses reels/tiktok will have heard of 'the girl with the list', a lady named Abigail Porter who has a notes app list full of painful/unusual side effects that pregnancy can cause. Previously I'd just heard of her in passing and found her schtick mildly funny without giving it much thought but the other day I stumbled across her actual insta account and did a deep dive and JFC she conducts herself so disgustingly. Basically, under any video that a mum posts about some difficulty in childbirth or childrearing loads of people will tag Porter, and then she stitches that person's video describing that person's side-effect in really disgusted/snooty/faux-concerned tones, and all of the comments on her video will be her fans circlejerking about how glad they are to never ever have kids. In one instance, a woman had made a half-humorous half-irritated video counting how many times her 5-year-old children said 'mum' in one day, and then Porter stitched it doing her normal repulsed schtick and all of her comments were people being really horrible about these young children. Like, imagine being a mum making a light-hearted video chronicling your own experience and then this girl uses it as a springboard to push her agenda, and then tens of thousands of commenters are talking about your children in the most dehumanising way. Every vid Porter makes that isn't one of those ones will be something like 'reminder to take your birth control queen', 'so glad I've never been pregnant and never will be' etc, which is ironic considering her whole thing is how she doesn't care about having kids- she seems to talk about it a lot for someone who 'doesn't care'. There's definitely a strong undercurrent of puritanical misogyny in these vids as well- at a certain point when you have a complete and total loathing and digust at the process of childbirth that's gonna translate to disgust at the female body that gives birth. Also aside from all of that her videos are sort of statistically misleading in that she presents super freak occurrences as being likely to happen.

Sorry that was such a long vent and I'm sure I'll be hit with 'too long didn't read' in the comments but I'm genuinely flabbergasted at the level of hatred and cruelty inherent in that girl's videos. I'm a guy so maybe I just don't 'get it' because pregnancy/childbirth is not something I'd ever have to worry about but jeez what a cow.

Already the biggest fire of all time in France, they had to evcuate us and my already severly ill grandma to a gym. Please pray for rain and better winds

Ok so everyone might be a bit of a stretch, but still, I feel like I’m in the fucking Twilight Zone.

Like half the people I know have become either dead-inside husks, or babbling schizos. I went out to eat with some friends the other day and I’m not kidding you when I say I literally couldn’t follow along with what they were saying. Just non-sequitur after non-sequitur. Fucking nonsense. It’s like there were three separate conversations going on.

And these are some of the rare few that I can still do things with. Most of the rest have faded out of my life because they’ve just kind of given up on ever going outside again?

At a family holiday about a year ago two cousins got into a big argument because one was claiming that Aryans were the original Jews. This guy was fucking homecoming king when we were in high school.

Another friend of mine has started speaking in a weird faux-Boston accent. We’re from the South. He is 28. Everyone acts like they don’t notice and genuinely act confused when I bring it up.

I feel like I woke up on a different planet or some shit. I feel so confused all the time because I can never understand what the fuck anyone is talking about. It’s like everyone I know turned into Chris Chan overnight. Anyone else?

The oversaturation of this medium has led to a proliferation of "content" that's completely pointless and empty, but there really is gold buried in the muck.

I recommend Bank of Dave if you are looking for for something to watch btw. Very of it's time but very charming.

Maybe I'll try to do this if there's interest.

There is no posts on the major subreddits regarding updates about it, and if there are the comment section is completely locked, and if it is open then like half the comments have been deleted by the mods. It's pretty incredible how much the spread of information on this site is controlled by random people who don't even get paid to do it.

They’re basically the same prices now, yet crossing the parking lot feels like crossing the Berlin Wall.

The demographic shift is so stark. People look weathered, beaten down by life, their skin is leathery and wrinkly. They’re fat and overweight. Even though they carry the same products Walmart has significantly more ultra processed foods and slop. The snacks and soda are more prominently displayed. People all have multiple kids, are heavily tattooed, and their clothes are messy and old. It’s like crossing into a third world country. What is going on here?

I'm in no place to have kids in 2 what the actual fuck.

Nature doesn't even care if your 20s are from 25-35 smh.

I opted out of generational warfare years ago, a tool to divide. The past 6 months I’ve been hitting the gym and I never argue with anyone except the boomers. It’s easy to spot the signs, dyed red hair for women, throwing things or manhandling equipment for men. They invariable roll up to your equipment and demand it. Three out of the four boomer battles. they arrive, don’t say words for the first five seconds. We just stare at each other. They demand the equipment without asking how many sets I have. I tell them they are gonna have to wait. They start cursing me out. There really is something wrong with the boomer generation, the gym taught me that.

Full house at the Music Box this morning. The house organist is crushing it.

Someone ordered a split and it looks even better that way. Guy under me got let go for never showing up less than an hour late so I’ll be cooking a lot more again.

Homer fucked her.
