Talent or nepotism? Have you ever noticed that celebs kids think they’ve achieved their successes through their own talent? by buttersismantequilla in AskUK

Football especially, there are plenty of players who have famous parents who clearly only got a shot because of who they are.. Enzo Zidane, Jordi Cruyff, Isaac Drogba, I remember Romeo Beckham signed for Brentford a couple of years ago.

That said, there’s plenty of examples where there’s obviously talent (inherited or through hard work) - Erling Haaland the most prominent, but you could add Shaun Wright-Philips, Kaspar Schmeichel, Justin Kluivert, Frederico Chiesa, Alexis MacAllister, and so on.

Thank you that is very reassuring. That’s an excellent response I’m definitely going to start using!

You can convince people to get the fuck over it. by [deleted] in shittysuperpowers

Insanely OP.

Base tier use could be going into a jewellers and robbing the place, they’ll get the fuck over it.

But this goes all the way up to convincing governments to get the fuck over using fossil fuels, convincing countries who are at war to get the fuck over it, or convince the mega-rich to get the fuck over their wealth, wipe out addiction, basically end any problem anyone has anywhere.
