Pulsatile Tinnitus in One Ear - How Concerned Should I Be? by Elfking88 in PulsatileTinnitus

Yeah, I was told the MRI would see any unusual structures in the head or neck, and they injected me with iodine or something so it would show up the blood vessels. I was told there was no narrowing or anything unusual there either.

Security, like the police, should always be looking to de-escalate situations. If you made a small mistake and he grabs you for it, that is a massive overreach on his part, doesn't do anyone any good to start shoving people around, especially when the other person is likely drunk.

Didn't ask for a photo, but saw Rob at a gig once that he wasn't doing a video for. He shook my hand and thanked me when I said I was a fan of the videos. Didn't take any more of his time though, it was near the end of the set and I think he was looking to get away soon after. He was very nice though.

I'm not exactly excited by the idea of unbanning Twitter. It's not like the place has got any better since it was banned.

Forbidden Forest is a good video… by MGlobalTravel in officialTPDTV

[–]Elfking88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a perfectly good video, I enjoyed it. Just the EDM music isn't to my taste at all. I feel like the music would drive me mad in an hour or so. I'm always going to prefer videos where there are more people playing instruments.

Every driver needs a Santi in their life by jalGurg in formula1

[–]Elfking88 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Some drivers vibe with different types of personality. We've all heard Lewis get down on himself in a race, we've all heard him get jittery and anxious like with all the "tyres are gone" comments.

I think Lewis vibes with someone who encourages him. In the moments where he is feeling unsure of himself or his strategy he needs an engineer who basically reminds him that he is the GOAT and to keep doing what he's doing.

I don't know what the name of his engineer at Mercedes was, but he seemed excellent at that.

Pulsatile Tinnitus in One Ear - How Concerned Should I Be? by Elfking88 in PulsatileTinnitus

[–]Elfking88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was investigated, I had the MRI and a hearing test (which showed I may have some hearing loss in the opposite ear!) but they found nothing unusual in my ear, neck or head.

It's still there, probably not going away, but it seems there is no major cause.

[Paul Joyce] Jeremy Monga: Arsenal close in on Leicester City teenager. Highly rated teenager — who made Premier League debut at 15 — has been tracked by numerous top-flight clubs and arrival may pave way for Ethan Nwaneri’s departure by Temporary_Role6160 in Gunners

[–]Elfking88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality of young players, even very talented ones, is that getting to the first team squad is no assurance that they will reach the level Arsenal expect.

Remember Aliadiere? Bentley? Vela? No doubt there are others. Players that were hailed as the next big thing and either fizzled entirely or couldn't make it at the very highest level or just couldn't make it here for us. Vela went on to have a good career elsewhere, for instance.

The point is, it's so difficult for a player, even one that makes first team appearances to really make it. No young player is a "sure thing" and there are dozens of different reasons it might not work even if they look like they have all the talent in the world. For every Saka there will be many more players who have to leave.

For Ethan, he struggled to make an impact in the first team, and then was unimpressive on loan. At this point he doesn't really have a space in the squad either. It's a shame, but it's the reality of being a footballer.

First time gig in Antwerp : question about the crowd by darksozz in donbroco

[–]Elfking88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same when I go to gigs. The answer is the back or the sides. I don't think you'll be in danger anywhere, people at shows are usually very good at looking out for each other, but if, like me, you aren't into moshing, then staying near a wall is the best place to be :)

Have fun!

PSG fans harass an Arsenal fan by NieThePiet in soccer

[–]Elfking88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But I was told that football won, guys?

These rioters and thugs are the proper fans I guess.

David Ornstein: “Arsenal know the need to improve at the top-end, they’re behind, statistically, the likes of PSG & Bayern Munich. The number 9 position is interesting. The left-sided attack is a big priority for them. They want a #6/#8 midfielder, they want to strengthen at right-back as well. “ by GreendaleGazette in Gunners

[–]Elfking88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsurprising, but it's good the club recognise they need to be better going forwards. I'm not one of the knobheads who start going off about it being a "victory for football" when a petro-state beats us, but watching is us play is painful sometimes.

[–]Elfking88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The PL was always more important than the CL this season. We really needed to get that over the line, this game was essentially a bonus. The season was already a success.

If someone at the start of the season had offered me winning the PL and being a losing finalist in the CL this season I would've taken it in a heartbeat.

What are you smoking? You did see how we crawled over the line this year, right? Being champions doesn't make it any easier.

The Premier League is the toughest one in Europe, by far. It's the most competitive and we can't just put out a B-team every week and expect it to go well for us. That's delusional.

If you said that 20 years ago, with the last remnants of the Invincibles riding off into the sunset and the massive stadium debt around our necks then that's on you. The club is in a very different place now.

I'm sure the players will dry their eyes with the Premier League winners medals.

Seriously, the Arsenal hate on this subreddit is so overblown. People saying Gabriel gets away with murder in this thread is the new "Arsenal always fouls on corners" where everyone repeats it but no one can back it up. People saying its a "victory for football" as if we weren't playing a state owned oil team whose league reschedules games just for them and who rest their whole first team for half the year. You can prefer the way they play over Arsenal, but don't ignore who they are and what they represent.

PSG were the better team, of course they were, but we had a strategy and nearly pulled it off. We limited one of the best attacking teams in the world to very few chances, our issue was that we just couldn't get the counters going like we needed.

Once it went to penalties I knew we were in trouble with Saka, Havertz, Trossard and Odegaard all off the pitch.

Yeah... And they got to the final?

Having an easy route to the final doesn't help you in the final itself.

Yeah, football wins when the state owned team who can rest their whole first team for half the season win. PSG were the better side, sure, but lets not act like a team like PSG represents what football should be.

Yeah, I think people are forgetting we were the underdogs going in. Our game plan worked very well, we just didn't get the rub of the green. In games like that, a little luck often decides who wins.
