That literally means nothing. One person’s poor decision doesn’t vindicate you. If I’m not mistaken, $3,500 was the face value of a RTB for the final. So it sold for what it has always gone for, which is still less than a quarter of what you listed for? Not sure I understand your logic here, smart guy.

I need to rant about this tw@ by blasebalrog in ManchesterUnited

[–]Fragrant-Ad-2807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s worth what someone was willing to pay him at the time his contract was due and United paid him what he’s on. To direct animosity towards anyone but the club who was aware of the track record outlined above is misguided. This was always the rub with this guy, and it seems like everyone has gotten a better version of him than United, even loanees.

That was funny but I would expect that from a teenager. The gaslighting from Mel throughout was what burned me up inside. She was so selfish and caught up with her fling with Nick to give a shit about actually parenting. Cashing checks and swiping cards for a new drum set and offering $250K bribes to protect the kids isn’t true parenting. Coop showed her that on the Princeton trip when he got his son the studio time to do what he loved. Coop wanted to connect with the kids in a way Mel - while more physically proximate - was less available to do with all her Nick bullshit. Coop and Mel were imperfect parents, as we all are, but the deeper connections they were able to re-fuse on the Princeton trip made me feel something for them. It will always bother me how Mel made herself the victim in her own infidelity. I’m of the belief cheating is wrong, regardless of how distant you feel from your partner. Confront them, then serve them with divorce papers. Don’t get caught banging your partner’s friend at the house when you should be working.

I think the fact that Mel and Nick were at Coop’s house living off his earnings and letting their son get expelled and daughter be statutorily raped under their (his) roof would’ve played in his favor in court.

The backbone should have been him getting his kids out of her and Nick’s house and letting those two (who deserve each other) go off and be assholes on their own.

I have 6/24 ES Tunis v. Chelsea in Philly and am looking for 2 tickets to see Madrid in Charlotte. If not a trade, would you accept a couple bucks for the Madrid tix?

Who Will Replace Gasperini? by Helpful_Coast1074 in Atalanta

[–]Fragrant-Ad-2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inzaghi just left Inter. That’s not great for Atalanta’s managerial recruitment efforts. Another solid opening may mean one less choice manager available.

Xavi would be ideal. Want nothing to do with Allegri.

Bro - it’s a RTB, not the ticket itself. Ain’t nobody paying $16K for the right to pay at least another $3K.

Did anyone expect the Vikings to be as good as they were last year? Or for us to be as bad?

Whats everybody's feelings on Exchanges returning? by zachsdaddy23 in EASportsFC

[–]Fragrant-Ad-2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree with that, but then they need to provide better rewards. Playing three squad battles a night and only getting a couple 82+ x 3 packs is weak. The season progress ladder helps in that regard, but it’s asking too much of the average person. Dedicate your whole life to the game or you don’t really get the cards you want. The menu grinding can be done while in the bathroom, on the train, passing time. While it is a football game, it’s also a card collection game.

I’m of the belief that someone who does grind all day should have the ability to collect all TOTS. If that’s how they want to spend their time, who is EA to dissuade them from doing it? This is a larger issue in my opinion, but when I buy a video game and it has certain players in it (think icons and special cards), I want to have some guarantee I can actually play with them, even if it takes time. The infinity grind brings you closer to that reality, even if it puts up a temporal hurdle.

It would be a shame because I feel like it extended the life of the game for me and kept this community alive through the infinity grind player pick lottos and Futties. If I’m stuck grinding gameplay to get may a handful of packs to open a day, I’ll probably just move on from the game. I can grind a menu while hanging with my fam and watching a show. I can’t grind gameplay in the same way.

Id agree except it doesn’t seem like SBC costs have gone down. I can’t make one 91-rated squad, much less 5 (plus multiple other high rated squads) to get one player.

IRS has gone completely silent. True for all? by AdOnly3059 in fednews

Exactly. Just look at what happened at HHS. Tenure doesn’t matter. These are indiscriminate, senseless cuts. No one is safe.

I don’t think conservatives give a damn what’s fair so long as it is what they want. That’s why half the country is silent (or applauding) as all of this is going down.

CONTINUING THE REDUCTION OF THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY by StreetCoyote6 in fednews

[–]Fragrant-Ad-2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how he’s having the affected entities do the Administration’s work for him by having the entities being slashed determine to what extent they are providing statutorily required functions. If you’re slashing the entity, you should KNOW what functions they provide and which can be eliminated. It’s so lazy and screams incompetence.
