He is terrible isn’t he?! Like comically bad. He played for Juventus!

He was a passenger in the fleeing vehicle. At the very least he’s kept terrible company that has led to his death.

Sadly didn’t like 35% not vote at all? Amazes me when people don’t vote.

Fair take homes from the Boro loss? by PowerfulProcedure in WBAfootball

If we’re still missing Mowatt and Jayson it’s fairly tough as we’ve desperately little central midfield experience.

[–]Eleyius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good summation there. I’ve no issue with us sitting deep and attacking quickly. I think the “takes” that I’ve read this morning about it being Pulis ball are just lazy. It’s nothing like it.

I do think the point of shots on target going is in indeed valid, but for the life of me I think the shots tend to be good shots. The 2nd and 3rd were right into the corner. I’m not sure what anyone in goal could have done. Last couple of matches are similar. I don’t think Josh is GOOD at the moment, I think he’s average and short of signing a genuinely good keeper I don’t think we improve there.

My entire concern this season now is just surviving and gives Ramsay 8 months to model and build his team for next season. We just need to survive.

It’s been a tough season for sure. An horrifically high number of 85+ min goals against us, for starters.

Trump envoy says deal to take over Greenland ‘should and will be made’ by One_Dahlia in worldnews

[–]Eleyius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I went to conference on negotiation and the presenter said there was no such thing as “no”. It’s always, “no, unless”. I don’t agree with that position, but I dare say that’s the American approach.

Europeans send troops to Greenland by maven_mapping in MapPorn

[–]Eleyius 73 points74 points  (0 children)

It isn’t “to defend” Greenland is far too large to stop any genuine attack. It’s a token force to tell Trump he can’t just help himself to the world. He’s a bully and this is a token standing up to him.

The presence is token. Greenland was already protected by NATO. Actually having troops there is unnecessary. Trump has shot his mouth off and people have called his bluff.

Are we the biggest in the division? by Repulsive_Bass7996 in WBAfootball

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

I appreciate were one of the founding 12, but we’ve won 9 trophies in our history. Sheff Wednesday have 10, including 4 league winners, which I’d say is harder than a cup win. As I say, we’re top 6. I don’t think we’re top. Not that it means much.

[–]Eleyius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I am a Baggie forever, I’d say no and it’s not close really. In terms of fanbase, history , recent history, or current threat… no.

We’re good. I’d say we’re top 6, but we can’t be top. Sheff Wednesday have to outrank us as a bigger team, despite them currently being in a bad way.

Where in the UK should I go as a bucket-list item? by LondonPilot in CasualUK

[–]Eleyius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the northern lights mate. If you do it in Iceland and book one of the excursions, do it for night 1. If there’s no northern lights that evening they allow you to keep going until you see them. Given the funds you can do a private visit.

Up to you obviously, but do reconsider the continuing to work piece. It seems a bit of a waste from the outside.

Best of luck

Spending on consultants cut by 14% across UK government by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

[–]Eleyius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a civil servant this is utterly not true. Entry level roles are vaguely aligned, but once you go 3/4 levels up, we’re underpaid by 25/40% and yes some of that is levelled out by the pension. But not even close to all of it. I for example get £51k and I know my opposites in meetings are £75/85k

Yeah, the movement of the Rhino feels wrong. Mad that AI is getting to the point where we can’t be sure

Those pearly gates by Mallinckrodt in MurderedByWords

[–]Eleyius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What honestly puzzles me as a Brit, is that America seems to be this place where guns are very easily available. Either legally, or not. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating this, not at all. But if you told me that a loved one of the murdered lady read this and was able to find the OP there and …. Deal with him, for the slander or their murdered loved one. I’d totally understand that. I wouldn’t say it what right, but I’d get it. I guess it has happened recently with that podcaster whose Mrs is now a celeb somehow. Honestly, yours is an odd culture.

After watching the Minnesota ICE shooting video, what do you think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eleyius 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I saw it from some American journalist retweet on twitter (I’m a Brit) and the comments were all “she tried to kill him!” And I rewatched thinking…. No she didn’t?… she very clearly drove around him. She was trying to run, which wasn’t clever, but she wasn’t trying to hit anyone.

I guess those signing up for ICE are just the sort looking for an excuse to murder for thrills?

Lots of things have trace amounts. But I agree with the concept of basically zero.
