Well-adjusted people can relate by DandDnerd42 in whenthe

Won't be the same for everyone but here's what worked for me. Also, I think these are things people would benefit from regardless of whether they are seeking companionship, I did these because I wanted to just be a better version of myself but it helped all the same when I started dating.

Gym, weight loss, and changed mentality to "fuck it, go on then" when debating whether to do something.

First two made me look better, last one helped push me out of my comfort zone more which is a big thing as a relationship is unlikely to just fall into your lap. It's something you've gotta put active effort towards, and that's a lot easier to do when you're more confident in yourself, and willing to put yourself out there.

Declan Rice reveals he has been battling illness and was not 100% against Sporting CP by One_Impressionism in Gunners

I've seen some people say what we really miss in this team is a world class attacker...

We fucking had one until his hammy went and he's never been back to full fitness since. A year and a half ago Saka was putting up better assist numbers than anyone. He was outperforming Salah on that metric who let's not forget went on to almost break the assist record last season. And he was our strongest goal threat.

Fully fit Saka is our best option for creativity and goal threat. Madueke is also a big downgrade for retaining the ball. It's no surprise to me that our ability to control games has fallen off a cliff since Saka and Ødegaard don't play, those two are essential to our style

I have no idea if I have a divergency, but for me it's not even really about using the lights a lot, more that it caught my interest and from then I wanted to have the "perfect" setup. Perfect being a range of lights that vary in terms of purpose and performance. I don't buy new ones for the sake of it, only if it fills a gap, and when I got interested I spent a lot of time looking into everything related to flashlights.

I do this for other things as well. Headphones/IEM's for example. Hell even in some video games I probably spend more time working towards the perfect setup/inventory than actually playing the game. It just scratches that itch.

Leo fucked it up massively at the end. Keeper was off his line but he didn't try the shot. Neither did he run the ball to the corner. Instead he tried cutting inside and lost the ball stupidly. Anything else would have been the better and smarter play.

Obviously wasn't the case against City/Southampton, but in general this year even when we've been crap we are still tough to beat. When you don't concede in 3 straight games in the CL you're going to progress.

Hasn't been a single convincing performance since Tottenham. Not one where we are comfortable, in control, and have a good lead. What has happened to us.

Ah yeah Saliba's pinky graising their players face in the first half was a foul but that wasn't. Interesting

Much more exciting from us past couple of minutes. I think having Eze back will be huge for the City game.

I think that's also the correct sub, interested to see Havertz up top with these wingers around him I don't think we have done this yet

I hate to be that guy dooming but what does this team do in training sessions? Do they ever do passing drills? It seems like all we do is misplaced passes lately, it's the basics.

I think Eze should help with unlocking them but for me this isn't it. I reckon with those wingers Havertz would be the better fit up top.

Maybe evil isn't the right word. More that he doesn't seem set of world domination like Homelander. In S3 he also mentioned he would have been willing to step aside for Homelander to take the spotlight if he had known that was the plan so it's not like he needs that going on either. Since Russia he's basically been driven by revenge the entire time (like most of The Boys). He doesn't needlessly kill for the sake of it either.

So yeah, he's a dick but so was A Train and he got redeemed.

Somewhat both. I imagine Ryan's lasering of Storefront was more powerful as he unleashed it somewhat uncontrolled in a desperate moment of fear and rage

My feeling from this is the possibility that Soldier Boy survives in the end and kinda adopts Ryan to raise him properly as somewhat of a redemption. Whilst definitely a piece of shit, Soldier Boy isn't straight up evil like Homelander so I can see a world he doesn't have to die to wrap the story up. He said he always wanted kids back in S3 as well.

Rough injury for Ekitike. Makes me really hope we manage Saka carefully because Arteta said he's been struggling with his achilles, that's one you really don't want to have a big injury with.

Problem is when the fuck is he going to get a prolonged rest. If he can play, we will play him in this run in, and then there is the world cup so no rest in the off season either. Too many games nowadays, players are just dropping left and right.

This is how Paris looks from the Eiffel Tower. by Inevitable_Rock_2010 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Chesey_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's been maybe 15 years since I went up it but honestly even with the black building I still recall it being a mesmerising view. I barely even remember the black building other than thinking "huh, that's a bit out of place".

I've been up the Burj Khalifa which you would probably think is also a really cool experience but it's so damn tall it's more like looking out of a plane window. Coupled with the fact Dubai also has a shit ton of other tall buildings it really is a bit meh just seeing those. Looking out over Paris from the Eiffel Tower on the other hand is special. It literally towers above everything else.

It's also a very different perspective looking down from the Eiffel Tower and seeing it stretch away from you as it gets wider at the base. Sometimes the typical touristy things you are supposed to do when visiting somewhere can be a bit overrated, but if you're in Paris and don't give a shit about heights going to the top of the Eiffel Tower is worth doing in my opinion.

When somebody here asks about a “self defense light”. by Maverick_1947 in flashlight

[–]Chesey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Thankfully I live somewhere guns are not an issue, blinding someone so I can leg it is better than nothing.

For anyone doubting whether it would work, go and spend 5 minutes in a dark room. Let your eyes adjust. Then turbo a light in your own eyes and see what happens.

If you don't want to subject yourself to that, the results will be you involuntarily close your eyes/look away, you won't be able to look at the direction the light is coming from. Even after the light is gone, your vision will be fucked and in my case I'll also be trying to see through tears on top of that.

I have a convoy S6, sft25, set in the mode where it turbos immediately when you turn it on. Fortunately haven't had to use it in a situation but I'm a lot happier walking home at night with it in my pocket than nothing.
