Post I did in regards to the Super Bowl Halftime Show

https://ibb.co/bjMVtpgd

Note: If the image doesn't show up, I will try it again. It's been a while since I have done this. I don't remember what site I used last time.

My aunt didn't like me posting this (this is from Instagram), but it had to be said

Basically, I said that the people (MAGA) complaining about the Halftime Show need to shut up. I didn't understand what Bad Bunny said, but the music was good. How would it be any different than an opera? I don't speak French, Italian, or German, but it's the theme that matters. I also called out the hypocrisy of them complaining considering that the NFL plays games in other countries and I don't hear them saying anything about it.

I also mentioned the fact that the US is supposed to be one of the hosts of the World Cup in a few months. Forget about the fact that we have a corrupt government right now and really don't deserve to host it. The fact that the MAGA bastards were complaining about Bad Bunny not speaking English is peak arrogance right there. Are you going to complain when players who don't speak English come in? I highly doubt that Kamala Harris would have ever said this. But the entitlement of the people who complained about Bad Bunny (a person from Puerto Rico, which by the way is a US territory) speaking Spanish right there makes it seem like the US shouldn't deserve to host an international tournament if this is how they treat one of their own. Really, they are lucky to host an international tournament. The World Cup is watched by many times more people than the Super Bowl. So really, they should shut up. They have absolutely no right to complain, especially with who they support.

1. Looks like a webp (I hate Google for creating the format) and DU does not render those.

2. There was a website I used before, but I have forgotten which one it is

I was trying to do it like a JPG/JPEG image or something like that, but again, many of the ones that do have something like that (JPG or JPEG to website converter) I either can't find or, more likely, it requires a subscription. But then again, I might do it this maybe a few times or less per month, not nearly enough to justify using it. Nowadays there are so many file types I can't remember them all (HEIF, JPEG, webp, just to name a few).

Computer is easiest. Phone makes it harder but I get it done. Using Apple stuff but future gear will run linux. Cook destroyed Apple with his reprehensible Trump worship.

4. If you look at the history of it, America originally even didn't mean the United States

America actually used to mean what is now called South America, so it didn't even include North America, never mind the U.S. We call both North and South America the Americas. It was named used on a 1507 map by a German cartographer named Martin Waldseemüller. America is the Latinized name for the first name of Amerigo Vespucci.
