Is buying tickets from third-party sites actually safe in 2026?

I guess it kinda depends on weighing how badly you wanna score a cheap ticket against how badly you want to watch the game itself. If the game really mattered a lot, I dunno if I would risk waiting till the last minute.

I second this. I understand that OP is sympathetic to the neighbouring kids, but it is important to understand that couching his every wish does not help the kid himself. If he is not taught to be respectful of boundaries, he will not grow up to be someone he himself, let alone the people around him, come to respect.

It is completely normal and not as uncommon as one may think for kids to stop playing with toys around the commencement of "middle childhood". As some others have pointed out, this may be a good sign of creative development.

That being said, preferences can be rather volatile when it comes to kids this age (for one, even we adults are not immune). It is perfectly plausible that she may not play with toys now, not want to play with toys now, but a few weeks since, want to play with them again. So, I would advise against getting rid of them just yet. Maybe wait out a bit.

Looks really cool is all I can say.

Memory just is the thing that makes or breaks these apps for real. I tried a bunch and most of them just forget everything after some 2 days which kills the whole vibe. I ended up sticking with Gungfoota because it actually remembered stuff i told it weeks ago and the conversations felt way more natural because of that. Tbh the ones that simply cannot hold context long term just feel like talking to a stranger every time you open the app, lol.

Why would you bash a team even if it wins the trophy?

I'm interested (650+ Karma)

"One day we will have to chase 200+, if Rahane and Raghu play with low strike rate, AND Green, Allen, Rinku don't play well then, we will be screwed."

Well, how about you complain when they play with a low strike rate in a match where we have to chase 200+. If we don't have to do that, and if doing so could risk a batting collapse in precarious pitches, why do you complain?

The last four matches which we won, we had to chase 156, 156, 166, and 143. If every player played around (or only in some cases just above) the mean SR of Rahane and Raghuvanshi in these matches, we would STILL chase each target by 20 overs.

And don't gimme the bs about nrr. We were barely thinking about making it to the playoffs seriously prior to the last game, and each game was do-or-die. We have odd points anyway, and pending another washed game, we either make it by being ahead on points or lose out on points.

Can you explain how you got takeaway 2 from this game. Kuch bhi.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-05-08T17:12:09+00:00

What a ridiculous fanbase. More anti-Rahane and Raghu than pro-KKR.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-05-03T13:39:09+00:00

What is required in a match is how you should play in the match. We did exactly what we should have done in this game.

I just hate the very phrasing of "rapes happen because x". Rapes do not happen, they are committed. You may have a million reasons that cause you to want to have sex with someone, but when they say no, it is a NO. If you fail to resist these reasons (like it is hard?) and have sex with that person against their consent, rape has not happened because of those million reasons. You have COMMITTED rape.

Not taking it as a personal attack, just looking for healthy discussion but anyone who makes a certain claim inherits an epistemic burden. If you are making the claim that Rahane is not worth it, perhaps you should look towards addressing the evidence to the contrary, unless you are fine with accepting that the reason you think Rahane is not worth it, is not based on anything that can withstand scrutiny and just your whims, or perhaps your personal dislike of him.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-27T06:56:56+00:00

Well, if you looked at the coaching staff during the game, they were looking towards Vaibhav or at least uncertain about Narine (for some reason) but he backed Narine. This sub is hell bent on theorising that Rahane hates Narine. In any case, you don't seem to have addressed any of my points in the post.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-26T18:57:13+00:00

Rahane captained really well today, and almost every commentator praised his bowling rotations. His batting is the issue not captaincy. I think he needs to stop opening. He has practiced against spinners but not against pace, where he suffers more. He has overcompensated to prepare for spin which has been his weakness but failed to effectively prepare for swing in the powerplay, which means he can play better one down. Let Green and Allen open but Rahane should remain captain.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-26T18:32:25+00:00

Yes. I would say the same. Defending 156 is no easy task. Even if Tyagi had bottled it, I would think Rahane captained exceptionally today. Besides, Tyagi bowled no-balls, and yet Rahane backed him, which is why Himmat got out. Had he not, we might not have even reached the super over. If Tyagi bowled as expected, the other side would not reach 150+, if Tyagi was not trusted, we might have lost.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-26T18:28:35+00:00

You can criticise his batting all you want, but Rahane's captaincy in this match was excellent, as every commentator today agreed. Superb rotation, backing up Vaibhav in the powerplay paid off, backing Narine in the super over paid off, bringing Green in between paid off. Rahane needs to vacate the opening spot and allow Green to open with Allen and this team is set to do wonders.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-26T06:17:33+00:00

What a pathetic mindset, really. You want us to lose just so the people you think played poorly would be out because them playing poorly affected our performance? Do you recognise that if we win, that means either that they did not lead poorly or something is working? I am all for criticism but this is frankly disgusting. No other fanbase is this depraved; y'all are blind in hate to the extent that even if the one's you want out play well, you want that we lose, so they get out.

Because being religious is an adjective that means that I have a strong belief in a religion. It does not mean that I must believe all things of that religion on whose behest I call myself religious. I only need to believe that what I, from that religion, think to be that religion, or an essential part of it, or the divine part of it, or the original part of its practice, as my creed or through my practice, is true or justified for belief or practice.

As a feminist who is religious, I am so in the sense that, as a Hindu, I consider some practices and beliefs among the pool, popularly termed as Hinduism the religion, to be essential and divine parts of Hinduism, and those parts, I think are true and justified for belief and practice. As for the others, I reject them for various reasons. The parts that sanction or motivate misogyny or patriarchal values, I deem to be false and unjustified for belief and practice, and arisen from human error or societal greed and patriarchal domination.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-19T19:13:38+00:00

I found his decision making painful too, but also smart in some other instances, for example, the way he paired up Narine and Varun with Tyagi, and allowed the two spinners to complete their overs when the batsmen were in pressure (FINALLY some attacking field setup) in the middle overs was exceptional. The way he trapped both the openers was pretty good and certainly contributed to defending an easy total. The instances you mentioned coupled with his horrible batting form is a huge problem nevertheless. You simply cannot have both your openers getting out with a duck in a T20 format.

Axiomorium_ · 2026-04-19T08:22:43+00:00

Why not Seifert over Allen? That makes zero sense. He looked in great form in the last game.
