You have a terrible understanding of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the distinction between Germans and Nazis. You are digging a deep hole of showing that you are a shit person with a victim complex

Reply to FIFA chief Gianni Infantino hits out at Qatar criticism saying European countries should instead 'be apologising for the next 3,000 years' by Garchomp98

Last Week Tonight did an episode on this years ago. Journalists and reporters were trying to bring all of this to light for years. Heck, even the recent beer 'controversey' was covered because FIFA does it every damn time. FIFA should realistically be disbanded and reconstructed from the ground up, because it is remarkably and openly corrupt

That was a different incident, but also doesn't hold up to scrutiny when you realize the taser is on the opposite side to prevent that mistake and don't have anywhere near the same feel/weight

Reply to TIL that it took several years for writer Bruce Rubin to sell the script to Jacob's Ladder, because it was "too metaphysical" and "Hollywood does not make ghost movies". Rubin would later write the screenplay for Ghost, a box office success that grossed over $500 million. by WouldbeWanderer

Which is interesting, being as it's largely inspired by a classic and popular Twilight Zone episode
