This has much more to do with Airbus than it has to do with Ukraine. I’ll just leave it at that.

I don’t know why Putin feels the need to actually win the war in Ukraine. Since he has ironclad control over Russian media, he can simply lie to the Russian people and claim that Russia has already won and ban/censor any discussion that argues against this. He can also make up reasons why Russians can’t visit those areas (where they’d obviously see the true situation) and prevent Russian troops in the area from coming back. As for Russia continuing to be treated like a pariah on the world stage, that would have happened anyway. So it doesn’t detract from the narrative.

I mean, it’s kind of in the middle (the keystone), there is a way to bypass PA by driving through Jersey to/from Delaware but that’s not going to be optimal for everyone.

Wait what? Alabama was the most traveled to state? And to be honest, I don’t really see PA as being the second most traveled to state either. Maybe traveled ‘through’ state, as in folks driving to NYC or DC or whatnot

He was treated better in Nazi Germany than he was in the US. Pretty sad really.

Oops sorry I thought you were asking about the Super Bowl specifically, but I see that you were asking about football more broadly. My bad, you’re right.

Philadelphians harass visiting fans of opposing teams, not visiting fans of Philadelphia teams. Since the Super Bowl isn’t being played in Philadelphia, the former should not be a problem. Agee that this might reduce the national spotlight, but there still is some buzz for the city whenever a local team is in a national championship.

A few reasons to care:
- Economic stimulatory effects of people going out to celebrations, buying Eagles merchandise, food, etc.
- Potential increased population and eventual expanded tax base from spike in people having celebratory sexual intercourse after Eagles win
- Transient feelings of goodwill extended among random Philadelphians to each other
- National spotlight given to Philadelphia, potentially causing people from outside the area to think about visiting, which could lead to increased tourist revenues

Hey why am I not hearing about any French tanks being sent to Ukraine? Or is it because they don’t want them? Seriously asking.

She’ll probably set up an OnlyFans to make ends meet after she gets out. And dumbasses will pay her legitimately for her services. She can probably even charge extra because she has notoriety from the scheme, at least in the Philly area.

It’s actually the one of if not the oldest country with the same form of government today as it had for the past ~250 years. “South Korea” wasn’t really a country back then. The UK was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (now it’s Northern Ireland). France was still a monarchy or else was on its 1st republic (now it’s on its 5th republic I think).
