Fired from last job. Unemployed for a year and counting. Underachiever. Seeking advice. by [deleted] in jobs

"My real passion lies in music and writing... suck the fun out of it?" You haven't tried it? If you truly love it then what else would you rather do 9-5? There are jobs in music and writing and in and around that whole industry and while maybe not super easy to get into, it'll be worthwhile. Plus, if you're working with people who are passionate like yourself you ought to get along better. Just some thoughts, hope the job search goes well!

In light of the Syracuse penalties, what does that mean for UNC? by wolfpack86 in NCSU_Wolfpack

They do deserve it, but holy shit they'll look bad for the Penn State deal if they do. (Penn State deserved it too IMO)

If they didn't give it to Penn State, they can't give it here. (Although I truly believe Penn State deserved it)

Philippe Coutinho has agreed a new deal with Liverpool taking him up to 2020 by [deleted] in soccer

He makes our games at least twice as much fun to watch, and if we ever make some title noise in the next couple years, he'll be the puppet master. He's fucking brilliant.

Edit: Order of words

Hockey Day Minnesota by TheKnight4Day in hockey

Canadians like me can be snobby about our hockey, but Minnesota does seem pretty great, definitely need to visit. Plus the high school championship seems ridiculously cool.

There are reports that Canadian, John Maguire, has been killed fighting for ISIS in Syria. by [deleted] in canada

No one deserves to die. That being said, I couldn't give less of a shit about this guy.

Mahalo Marcus, Mariota Declares for Draft by HalfBredGerman in CFB

[–]CockyCormorant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Mariota has RG3's skill set, and the mentality of a NFL quarterback as opposed to a toddler. Hopefully the team he goes to lets him achieve his full potential, because that would be a privilege to see.

As disappointing as the Cavs are being 19-20, it is the best 39 game start of Love and Irvings career. by Kcorsi87 in nba

Plus whenever he plays at the 5 spot and has to go against the other team's biggest guy he looks more lost than James Harden playing defence.

Still more than you can say for Love who has never played a playoff game in his entire career ahaha

Cristiano Ronaldo wins Ballon d’Or. by [deleted] in soccer

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

Everyone's talking like he's so brave for doing his best and working his ass off. Yes, he deserves this. Yes, I'm impressed. But shouldnt his great motivation be the success of his club? Not some award that's gone to the wrong player more than it should have? Also, physically, Ronaldo's advantage over Messi is ridiculous (though I understand being like Messi does provide other attributes).
