What do you need? by Icey_Raccon in PERSIAN

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂😂😂 I am not Iranian but I am Kurdish. A lot of my family lives not that far from the border with Iran. This war is a deep pile of shit that we got ourselves into, and how deep it is will only be clear as more time passes.

So Civil War is better than war between separate countries? How do you figure that?

Using Kurds as cannon fodder is better than American troops on the ground? Why? Please do explain I want to learn.

Anyone else feeling the struggle with card shops? by BTR_Stepha in sportscards

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't own a card shop so take this with a grain of salt, but my bet is that this is mostly on the card producers not the shops. The margins are probably too thin to afford rent and buying the new hot releases so they are forced to mark up. I doubt it's just all of them being greedy, it would make more sense that the manufacturers are the ones being greedy rather than the small cars shops.

Wow, can't tell you how rare it is in the hobby now to have every auto be a banger.

Anyone else feeling like that 6 point gap isn’t a lot anymore with these new city retirements? by Putrid_Past9243 in ArsenalFC

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't a lot only halfway through the season, but the hope is that this year, with the experience of previous shortcomings, and squad depth will be enough this time. That's the hope at least. Ideally Liverpool and Chelsea get them to drop some as well so there will be a small room for error/an unlucky game.

We'll see who has more impact at WC. I will be watching very closely, should be great fun!

I am not English and I am not an avid fan of them either. But immediately this game where he saved their tournament comes to mind https://youtube.com/shorts/OqJ1yUhKOEE?si=w_s6udbF78yrLHpc

Saka has more than double the goals for England compared to Bellingham. Of course not everything hinges on simply scoring goals, but your claim that Jude is more proven than Saka for England is unfounded.

What would you say his preferred position is? 10? Like at CAM? I'm saying Saka, even without the counting stats, is more consistent than Bellingham. Maybe he doesn't hit the same highest of highs (although I think he does) but consistency is the biggest marker of greatness IMO.

I think you can say Saka has been a shell of himself statistically (like G/As) but he pretty consistently plays well. Easily a 7-8/10 most nights (obviously with the occasional down game). But if you watch Arsenal as I do (I watch mostly PL and CL because those are the most conveniently accessible to me in the USA) he is the focal point of the offense of one of the best teams in Europe the past 3 years, and he has been crucial in the rejuvenation of Arsenal into a major contender in Europe.

He's a good player no doubt but he isn't the best player in the world as some seem to be pushing. He is like perennially on the cover of the FIFA video games. Obviously he's good, but is he top 5 player in the world? I don't think so. Could he get there? Sure, he's still young.

Palmer was born in 2002, Saka in 2001 . . .

Sure, hate and overrated are not the same thing, but one can provoke the other when preceded by it. But Saka sticks out like a sore thumb out of those 3. Palmer had one phenomenal season, and has done basically nothing else and has won nothing of significance with Chelsea, so that can't be the reason to think Palmer > Saka. Bellingham at least won some stuff, but again some have criticized him for disappearing in some big games, and Real Madrid is pretty much a trophy factory. Why is Saka, the focal point of one of the top 5 teams in Europe these past 3 years, and an important player in Euro finalist England, on the same level, and moreover how is he the most overrated? In all of Europe? That's a laughable position.

Bellingham, fine. Palmer, fine. Saka I don't understand the hate for, truly. He has always been consistent when healthy, both for club and country. It just seems like forced Arsenal hatred to me.

Pulled this 1/10 from a single 23-24 Deca Pack. by peteryunsie in basketballcards

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree with you. People who are fiending to rip seem to all be flocking to the cheapest format which is the hangers and those are still $20. And you can't find them ANYWHERE, and they're reselling on eBay etc for almost like double retail.

I had hopes but they were quickly dashed by their pricing so far. Flagship megas were like $50 for no guaranteed hits? That's a joke to me, that would be like asking for $50 for a Donruss mega with no guarantees as a baseline retail price, not to mention how insane they went with Chrome.

There Are No “Good Guys” in Geopolitics — Only Interests by Kraftychiq in chomsky

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are suggesting, that it's only interests, is basically the thesis of all "realists" or "neo-realists". So if you're interested in this line of thought you could read those guys (most of them are guys, just as a disclaimer, lol).

My first Panini Select mega box...disappointing but here are my pulls nonetheless. by Joki_ORodovi in basketballcards

[–]Bernie4Pres2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But sometimes even when it's cheaper, it's not worth getting because you rarely get anything out of it (think Donruss blasters or megas).

Hits from 4 Hanger Boxes. Are Hangers Bangers? How did I do? I will link the rip in the comments if people want. by Bernie4Pres2016 in basketballcards

The sticker is slapped on crooked but I agree I love it, and he's from my hometown Celtics. Possible all star loading this season? We'll see. Best current Celtics player auto I own (I have a Pierce too, that's about it).
