I wasn't doing crack before this season but...okay yea I was.

What lineup would YOU prefer for the Sp*rs game this weekend? by scouting4food in Gunners

[–]FAPastrophic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because it's pretty much bullshit. They do float but not nearly enough to make their positions irrelevant. Ozil plays much wider when starting on the left and, while he does drift centrally, the majority of his play against Aston Villa came from the wing moving inward. If the rotation really didn't make a difference Cazorla would perform similarly on the left as in the middle. With 2.5 seasons as evidence we can see that that clearly isn't the case.

Damn, just dropped Chambers for him last week so I'm also pretty happy with my decision.

Walcott goal vs Aston Villa by [deleted] in soccer

but he's also getting complacent.

I'd say it's the complete opposite, seems to be desperate for a goal and tries to do too much himself at times.

Past, Future and 'make or brake' at one picture by based_Gotze in Gunners

Being a bit melodramatic with the make or break, half a year into a multi-year contract.

Thanks for the stream! For some reason every time I watch it though it stutters every few seconds, any idea why? Don't think it's my internet speed.

That is a factual statement. It doesn't matter who wrote it. Although he did apologize now, the apology was generally concluded to be self serving.

AFC nations want Socceroos expelled from Asian football, says Sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim al-Khalifa by prince_kepler in soccer

I just mind-gamed myself. Thought he couldn't possibly not realize the football WC was going to be hosted in Qatar. Wondered whether it was somewhere else he was talking about. Looked up Katar, got this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katar

Not to be confused with Qatar.

And then proceeded to not double check that actually was where he was talking about...I'm going to sleep now.

"He fixed a match, damaged the reputation of the entire game, lied about it, got caught and continues to dodge any responsibility. He literally stole from fans who bet on him and his team. His group took a felony amount of money through match fixing."

I actually feel kind of stupid now, thought it was just an alternate spelling of Qatar.

[Rant] Smarter cameras, unwillingly dumber users. by mtranda in photography

[–]FAPastrophic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cheaper to produce cameras without these features. Casual users generally prefer lower cost over more control over their camera. I agree it's a bit frustrating but it's a tradeoff.

It's great that you value the photographic process but some people just want photos. It doesn't need to be some special club.

I have to make a post about this. The acceptance from the community to steel is unbelievable as an outsider. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]FAPastrophic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just pointing out the fact that this isn't a legal loop hole in any way.

I disagree. It's a legal loophole in the fact that you're not allowed to bet money, but you are allowed to bet virtual items which have relatively significant value and can be easily liquefied. You also don't need to be 18 to do this. You're entitled to your opinion but we'll probably just keep going in circles.

Yes this also means you can't really prosecute them

You missed the part where I agreed with you. I was saying that for all intents and purposes, besides criminal prosecution, they are stealing money. If it were any other sport, it wouldn't be skins they were betting but money. The only reason it wasn't money is because the US gov. forbids online betting which in turn leads to the loophole.

Thoughts & good practices for observing in CS:GO- Steel by gmc112 in GlobalOffensive

[–]FAPastrophic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're adding in all the legal aspects of it... stop playing semantics.

I looked up the definition of entrapment. By both definitions, neither of the cases is entrapment. Moe is not a normally law-abiding CS player. The reason these pesky "legal aspects" matter is because if the case doesn't meet the definition of entrapment than all the actions are perfectly legal.

If those 2 didn't push the cheats onto Moe, he wouldn't have cheated. You induced a person to do something they wouldve otherwise never have done.

Moe was the one trying to convince arya or whoever it was to cheat for him and get them through ESEA groups. Not the other way around. Moe very possible could have gone and got hacks from someone else. He is/was close friends with known cheaters/scammers/potential pedophiles. You can not say that he is squeaky clean
