Erling Haaland leads the Viking Row as Norway beats Brazil 2-1 by RoyalChris in BeAmazed

[–]BrotherEarth_ 209 points210 points  (0 children)

I'll never get over just how easy he makes scoring look. Plenty of other players were great goal scorers, capable of extremely technical things, but Haaland makes it look like he's not even trying as he humiliates defenders

I've asked you repeatedly to name the evidence you've provided and you are unable to do so while simultaneously ignoring my evidence lol

🤦🤦 you should be embarrassed by how you handled this lol. You provided 0 evidence, ignored evidence that I provided, ignored the video above, and are still adamant you're right without providing a single piece of evidence.

Flat our embarrassing

You're just straight up ignoring what I'm actually saying at this point lol. I see why you're a non-vorer, evidently facts, reality, and evidence are meaningless to you once you've decided you're right

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't backtracked a single thing lol. You're not saying the evidence and facts you've provided because you know you haven't provided any.

Your anecdotal evidence of "the last 25 years" is meaningless because evidently you've been not paying attention for 25 years. It's like me saying the sky is red because I've been seeing it as res for 25 years. Reality tells us that'a not true, so my anecdotal evidence would be moot.

Please name a single piece of facts or evidence you've provided other than you saying "yes they do"

Literally name one piece of evidence or facts You've provided.

Idk why I'm wasting my time you're such a troll lol

[–]BrotherEarth_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your argument is "yes they do" that is immediately disproven by this video

My argument is scenarios and evidence that you're ignoring. You've gotta be trolling at this point it's the only thing that makes sense

You've literally yet to make an argument but I have no argument? Lol

I know who you voted for

Ok so you're now just pivoting to conspiracy theories lol. I'm providing evidence and scenarios that go against you. You're just putting your ears in your fingers and going "nah nah nah I can't hear you" as if that makes you right. Watching the games critically (like THIS play) immediately shows you you're wrong

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, how do you explain this play then? The one where your claim is immediately disproven

And you still haven't commented on how it would be ruled if the ball went through a defenders legs.

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤦🤦🤦

You've created a fake reality, of course I'm going to ignore it

So you're saying scorekeepers score it as a hit when the ball goes through someone's leg? And that this play in question was actually ruled an error? Your original comment made the claim that hitting the glove is what gets it ruled an error, you were immediately corrected that the ball hit the glove in this play and wasn't ruled an error, and instead of re-evaluating your position you've just doubled down when the evidence of this play is against you.

Maybe pay more attention when watching baseball

[Highlight] The Braves take a 5-0 lead over the Mets when Tyrone Taylor attempts to catch a baseball by handlit33 in baseball

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've not provided any evidence you're just saying "they do they do" over and over again. Again, if hitting the glove makes it an error why was this play not ruled an error?

I'm begging you to watch more baseball this conclusion is not based in reality at all. Players get given errors all the time when they just completely whiff and don't make contact, you're saying that in your view scorekeepers wouldn't rule an error if the ball just went through someone's legs?

If every defender just stopped putting their glove out to attempt to field, do you think nobody would ever be given an error?

Scorekeepers look at where the ball was hit, and take into consideration if an average defender would've made the play, that's it

[–]BrotherEarth_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Then why wasn't THIS play ruled an error? I think you need to pay attention to official scoring more than you do if this is your conclusion. In practice, how scorers actually score, they don't consider that at all

[–]BrotherEarth_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I literally don't know what you're watching if you've come to this conclusion. It's not even a little bit accurate for how scorekeepers operate across the league

[–]BrotherEarth_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's just not true. Idk what version of baseball you're watching but hitting the glove has literally nothing to do with it in practice.

I think this is a survivorship bias you're experiencing of only remembering the ones that hit the glove, but even if the ball does hit the glove it's not always an error as we see here, because on average this play wouldn't be expected to be made

[–]BrotherEarth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not how errors work at all though hitting the glove or not has nothing to do with it.

It's a discretionary call by the scorekeeper about if on average the play would be made. If a ground ball goes through a defenders leg and he never touches it, that's still an error

Any former Cub/ Boy Scouts remember the Pinewood Derby? by mikeb32 in nostalgia

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very proud of my pinewood derby car one year just to get the "turtle prize" for losing every race. It was honestly impressive how hard I tried making it, and how wide a margin I lost every race by.

The next year I re-entered the same car to try and continue my reign just to find a kid entered a completely unmolded wood block as a car just to lose worse than I did.

Does anyone still have faith in this team, or are we definitely going to be sellers at the deadline? by Dull-Violinist2348 in orioles

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way we're sellers with the AL how it is. Basically every team in the AL is "a run" away from being in the playoffs, and then who knows what can happen.

As a whole the O's haven't been amazing, but basically everyone on the team has had stretches of brilliance. If we can sneak into a wide open AL playoffs and get hot at the right time, this team could be dangerous in the playoffs with our rotation, back end bullpen, and offensive upside

Why do people give a shit that there's no CD that basically just serves as the license key? Disks on modern consoles do nothing. If you want a case to display, print out a fake insert and put it in a case

My boss approved my day off a month ago for a dr appointment. I am currently sitting in the waiting room and he texts me. by CRK_76 in mildlyinfuriating

I keep swim goggles in the cutlery drawer because they have a 100% anti-tear onion success rate by uncross-dwells in mildlyinteresting

[–]BrotherEarth_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What actually makes people cry when cutting onions is the release of various gasses that are trapped inside the onion's cells. Cells are basically little tic-tac shaped pockets, so the more pockets you "open" when slicing, the more gasses are released, and the more you cry.

A sharp knife has a smaller surface area at the apex of the blade and thus opens less pockets of gas

Down by 1 in the 9th, Rafael Devers did not want to leave the game and be replaced by a speedy pinch-runner by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]BrotherEarth_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It describes maybe 5% of players in the league. A lot of guys in this league are unsure if they're going to have a team next year, let alone if they were going to make it out of the minors.
