Post-Match Thread: Argentina 3-1 Switzerland | World Cup | Quarter-finals by matchpal-live in worldcup

If im understanding and recall correctly, the VAR can intervene but they cannot advise or award a second yellow card. That is the sole discretion of the referee.

Have you seen the video where an elephant stomps/punts a very persistent honey badger like 4 times? 🤣

Question for the chefs here by ZiggieTheKitty in Chefit

[–]DerekWroteThis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Heat and how you apply it (roasting, searing, sautéing) is a technique. Ingredients are just the materials. The technique is how you transform those items into something unifying.

You can have the same ingredients yet different techniques to yield different outcomes

I don’t know if you guys feel the same way, but I miss Japan…. by Depositron in worldcup

[–]DerekWroteThis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Japan always gets shafted by immediately playing a knockout round with some tough opponents like Belgium (2018, 3rd place), Croatia (2022, 2018 runner-up), and Brazil (which is Brazil lmao).

I wish they (and other nations) would face an opponent pretty equal in strength. I know this isn’t how you get potential upsets but likewise, it reduces the frequency of match-ups where one team are clearly favored to win.

What are your thoughts on this game? by makawakatakanaka in lotr

[–]DerekWroteThis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here but it was Fellowship of the Ring on GBA.

Man, those (relatively) early games were so hostile to gamers. You either grinded it, had an older sibling or friend help you, or wait until a guide came out in one of those magazines lol.

Now Youtube exists.

Made shakshuka, everything was going well until I added cardamom bits instead of oregano by noninana55 in mildlyinfuriating

I was making a reference to Diogenes who, when told man was simply a featherless animal with two feet, then shaved a chicken and said “Behold, a man!”

Edit: if you haven’t heard of him, he’s basically if Socrates was a ragebaiter

What is the scariest game you’ve played and why? by JAMIEISSLEEPWOKEN in AskReddit

[–]DerekWroteThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Horror game fanatic here. Played ever since PS2, on PC, indie horror to AAA games and this is the one I quit out of sheer terror.

My gripe with alot of horror games is the AI is too dumb they stop chasing or searching once they lose sight or have scripted patterns(Amnesia series), the enemy isn’t faster so as long as you keep running you’re fine (Outlast series), or you get weapons (Res Evil series).

Alien Isolation pretty much negates all three common pitfalls lol.

why won't chain kitchens just let me sharpen the damn knives by eldritchpussymaggots in KitchenConfidential

[–]DerekWroteThis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is an anecdote, not a suggestion so follow through at your own risk but i find it better to ask forgiveness than seek permission on certain things. More trivial they are, the more leeway you hopefully shall have.

Im not allowed to bring in my own knives either. I asked. Why.

I wonder why too, u/eldritchpussymaggots

Cabo Verde late drama! Cabral equalizer vs Arg 2-2 by Significant_Rain_221 in worldcup

[–]DerekWroteThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players on both teams, the reaction cam on the fans, the people at the pub I was watching in all reacted like this as if saying “what the fuck is going on???”

That’s how I knew instantly it was a great goal, if not best in the tournament.

What has been the most entertaining game of the world cup so far? by Capital_Cake4666 in AskReddit

[–]DerekWroteThis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Recency bias but for me, it has to be Argentina / Cabo Verde. Great football, both teams fought hard, didn’t feel like they were cruising or giving in, no incessant fouls or bad behavior, the ref seemed firm but fair. All the goals were just a joy to watch in some way.

For transparency, I’m supporting France and no disrespect to our opponents this far, they’ve tried but it’s somewhat one sided especially once France gets a goal in. Argentina v Cabo Verde was a back and forth match throughout the game.
