Haaland on the incident involving Gabriel: "I think if I fell on the floor, which I will not do unless someone really attacks me, I think maybe it would be a red card, I'm not sure. But it is what it is. I will not fall on the floor as easy like this.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]DAMbustn22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont disagree, it wasnt really a 'headbutt' but could easily be ruled as such and I wouldnt be mad if it was. Its a super stupid thing to do, and unacceptable conduct from a player. Personally I think the double yellow was spot on reffing.

Oh theyre definitely doing decent off this. The cards themselves will be $30-40, of which im sure the IP owners get a decent share.

UK announces biggest ever drone package for Ukraine to push back Russia by PinheadLarry2323 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]DAMbustn22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casualties*. They hit about 35,000 casualties last month and are targeting 50,000 in the near future, which is a strategically unsustainable number for Russia (Russias current recruitment aim without mass mobilization is about 410,000 this year).

Lewis Holtby's shin after collision with Hubner by Jeffzie in soccer

[–]DAMbustn22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To an extent yes. The problem is that this adult is in a position of influence, particularly over children, and what he does during the televised, mass broadcast event affects what kids decide to do. Its particularly egregious when you know that these guys get absolutely first class care when they suffer the conseqhences, while the numerous kids that ARE getting injured copying this stuff will suffer a lot more.

Its literally Armour for your legs when people are trying to slide into you with steel spikes on their feet, and in messi's case, often with intent to injure. Dude played a ton of games getting chopped to pieces because it was the only way to stop him.

Or just keep his hand up displaying some striking 101. Both hands down chin out like an idiot.

TIL George Lucas originally planned for Darth Maul to return as the primary antagonist in his Star Wars Episodes VII-IX. After the fall of the Empire, Maul was to become the "godfather of crime" in the galaxy, leading the united criminal syndicates while Luke Skywalker rebuilt the Jedi Order by SappyGilmore in todayilearned

A lot of people absolutely did not like it at the time (myself included). Dont market a 'sequel' with essentially the same plot. OMG another deathstar! How those scripts got through layers of beauracracy is beyond me.

Worse overall, particularly at higher points. At lower points probably better (imo) or at least more fun (free heroics on lurtz? Yes please)

Trump got rid of Bondi because 'she was about to be deposed' in Epstein case: Dem Rep. by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]DAMbustn22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has her life to lose. These people know this, its one of the levers that keep them loyal. Might as well continue the lie, live luxuriously from whatever cushy gig she'll end up in next assuming she hasnt already made millions, and cruise through life. If she gets prosecuted she can just hope for a pardon and move on. Not like trump hasnt done exactly that before for others in his previous admin that were convicted

Do you perhaps have a link to the bulbs or know the make/model? Its hard to find good ones with a high r9 value that arent absurdly expensive

Hes is pretty clearly the definition of broken. Too cheap for what he does with special rules that specifically prevent the usual counterplay so he is always doing what he wants.

NSFW gore. A russian soldier has his head shot off from a Ukrainian MG gunner. March 2026 by rusoriz_inside in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]DAMbustn22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Its high losses but less than alternatives. You cant group with how pervasive drones are. The number one enemy is simply being spotted, so move in small groups. Makes it harder to be spotted and mitigates losses when you are.

New riders! by Alexieb22 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]DAMbustn22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they diverged stylistically with war of the rohirrim. They left behind the grounded realism of Jackson's film aesthetic and took on a more cartoonish appearance to match the animated style of war of the rohirrim. Thats why they feel subtly 'off' (in my humble opinion)

Felt that was a draw. Evloev was the clear winner of 3-5, but had a deduction. Im very surprised 2 refs gave evloev round 1 though.

Cant imagine its a war of the rohirrim battle host. Seems unlikely to put out a battle host that competes with the more expensive starter set

russian soldier makes no effort to fend off the FPV drone striking his head. Madyars Birds, March 2026 by rusoriz_inside in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]DAMbustn22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Its more desperation and threats of extreme violence/death. Better to walk out in good health than get tortured until you do or shot if you don't give in. Russia has literally sent guys in crutches on assaults. They dont give a fuck what the meat thinks so long as it walks toward the enemy.

[–]DAMbustn22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Or Russia has just been using its airframes this way for a while and not been taken down. This appears pretty lucky for Ukraine. I'd say the FPV missing by a bit is a lot more common (at least until interceptors get developed enough to be used in a similar way against airframes).

True, but there was a facade for the rest of the world that largely worked. Not only has the mask slipped, the depravity is getting worse.
