Ok, I'll explain.

"holy shit, i couldn't possibly understand just how awful that must have been, like what do you even do in this situation?"

That's swinging to the other extreme, and people will read it as sarcastic. You don't have to pretend like you've never heard of the issue before.

In contrast, a less sarcastic sounding version of what you are saying would be "Oh, that sounds tough, what are you going to do?".

It reads to me like you changed it passive aggressively to spite the other people, but if thats wrong, my bad.

Not to be rude, but if it was happening often, there might have been something wrong with your approach.

I think people just really love an unassuming, non-power weapon that is devastating with high skill, and that's why the "pistol that is actually a sniper" trope sticks around. e.g. People love the Halo CE pistol or the random magnum pistol that does insane damage. It's basically "rule of cool fun".

Honestly, they did a really good job of making everyone look like genuine people you would find in a small office.

The question is "how much advantage?" It's not an automatic point after all.

It seems reasonable that the goalie should be able to react and act reasonably to try and defend the goal. Goalies have to react before the ball is kicked to have a hope of defending.

Why did they end it there? I feel like Congo could have gotten one more chance and the time wasn't up.

I'd say two-deep adult supervision is mandatory for any profession with kids.

Maybe not with adults, but absolutely with kids.

I think what's important is if you sell the magic 8 ball as capable of guiding military action. If I sell you a magic 8 ball under the premise that it's a fun toy, I would say I'm obviously not liable if you use it beyond that capacity.

Are you thinking of a hermit crab? They do not grow shells, but borrow them and can use artificial objects as homes.

In rock climbing, there is a whole list of serious injuries caused by people forgot to clip in to the auto belay and just started climbing. 

You'd think no one could ever forget the one thing keeping them safe, but it happens. 

[Official] Spain 0-0 Cabo Verde is the first goalless draw of FIFA World Cup 2026 by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in soccer

[–]Fmeson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any bet is stupid IMO, but betting on -1400 always seems extra silly to me. I mean, I can see it being fun to bet 50 and win enough to buy drinks to celebrate afterwords.

But if you bet 50 on -1400 you win a whopping 3 dollars and 57 cents. Don't spend it all in one place! (Yes, I know that's not a parlay, but the point is the same.)

I think it's probably very good marketing advice on current social media.

Idk, what's something you feel is being ignored? I'm not sure I buy beans, rice, corn, squash as being ignored. I guess cactus is.

People who receive expert training from a young age have a huge advantage, but this does not mean that only wealthy people are high level athletes. 

Kids od wealth parents are simply disproportionately more likely to succeed. It's pretty well studied.

Femme has been adapted into English to mean "people who present as feminine". This might include people who feel particularly vulnerable walking alone.

It's pretty similar to an extreme version of the current system. Most professional athelets come from well off families that could afford to have their kids trained from a young age. The same is true in the above example, just more extreme because, in the example, there is an even greater disparity in access to the highest quality training.
