There were like fifteen tickets at a $60 price point, which were technically the cheapest tickets but were basically just a fiction. The nosebleeds for the final do start at like twice that, but group stage matches are cheaper. I do think your broader point is spot on — this is a way to lower prices without admitting they’re lowering prices due to suppressed demand.

I’m not sure a ban was necessary; it’s pretty clear Clavicular doesn’t have the mechanical skill to reliably exploit the glitch.

I mean, just truly shameless:

Infantino shrugged off the palpable embarrassment of those present to announce the worst-kept secret in sport, that he will seek re-election next year. The election will take place at the Fifa congress in Rabat, Morocco, and he is unlikely to face any opposition.

I used to commute via skyway in St Paul. Most of the downtown retail you would expect on the ground floor is on the second floor, and targeted at pedestrians who don’t want to go out in the snow. I think it’s the only commute I’ve truly enjoyed, just long enough and stimulating enough to clear my head.

There are ~6800 species of mammal and at least three preparations of milk, so I think conceptually you could get up to 5 digits.

Football is a game played on foot. Gridiron is a football, same as soccer.

My version is called soccer.

It’s. Called. Soccer!!!

Yep. I’ve seen it in real life. Whether this particular image is AI or not, that was a real tent at Seattle Central.

Thanks boo.

If it were from distress I would not have so responded.

It’s because you’re a dumb fucking slut.

(Please don’t be offended, I mean that with all the affection one stranger can have for another across the internet, it’s just so clearly the correct answer)

The word “slop” is mutating so fast I’m having serious trouble keeping up with what it means from day to day. I saw a movie referred to as “quality slop” to mean something like “oscar bait” and I’ve fully given up on trying to make sense of it.

There is a significant portion of the lds membership who believe the “lost ten tribes of israel” were taken to other planets, to be returned as a sign of the second coming 🤷‍♂️

Okay, so Campbell’s owns a bunch of brands: Campbell’s, Prego, Swanson, Pace, Snyder’s, and Pepperidge Farms. Campbell’s could have used any brand to launch this product, so my biggest question is: why not under the Pepperidge Farms brand? Pepperidge Farms remembers would have been the perfect ad campaign for this launch.

A long time ago, I decided I was not going to pay attention to Roblox because life is short and I don’t wanna, but it seems to have been a poor choice because somehow it qualifies as every kind of software known to humankind. I won’t be surprised if the next time I read about it is because The Kids These Days now have jobs and prefer to do their spreadsheets in Roblox rather than Excel, and so I need to buy Robux to see our company’s financials.

I know you meant this comment as a portent of ill tidings, but “out in 2028” and “the media wasn’t covering him” just sounds so relaxing, I’m having a hard time getting worked up over it.

The thing to be concerned about is that LLM vendors have figured out a way to write a system card that leads to regulatory capture in under a week. That’s the only innovation – Mythos doesn’t actually find software vulnerabilities considerably better than other LLMs.

🎉🥳👏🎊🙌

we did it, lemmy

I was really hoping to set up someone to respond with the original image? But I guess I wasn’t transparently pedantic enough :/
