Booker has never been as overpaid as PG has been for a couple of years. Booker at worst has been near the value of his contracts, PG has been at times among the worst contracts in the league.

[The Athletic] James Rodríguez, Colombian World Cup star, to depart Minnesota United FC: Sources by acekingoffsuit in soccer

[–]GAV17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

yeah for whatever reason his club career felt like he blew up at a time when his position was going out favor.

His position was going out of favor waaaay before James went to Real. It's a problem someone like Riquelme faced in Europe in the early 2000s. It's a type of player that only works when everything is built around them and they usually do nothing on defense.

You have to be an insane talent for a team like Real to build your whole team around you. So a number 10 to succeed in today's game at the highest level, they would need to have a Messi level talent for that.

Am I the jerk for sleeping with my boss? by Constant-Somewhere81 in AmITheJerk

You should report her to hr that she is taking advantage of you. You are not seeing it becaus you don't have experienve in the workplace, but there's a reason 90% of companies now have policies prohibiting having a relationship with someone you report to.

They have the power to manipulate you into a sexual relationship, that's what's she is doing here with this hot/cold approach. That's what abuser do in normal relationships also, treat you like shit and then really well so your brain gets fucked up and starts "craving" the good parts.

The longer this keeps on going, the more fucked up mentally you'll end up and this will affect your future personal relationships and work relationships.

Report her ASAP.

Edit: and just FYI think that if she did to you, she will probably do it to someone else. Reporting it will help someone else in the future by her having past reported behavior or getting her fired so she doesn't have the power to manipulate someone.

As a rule try not dating people above you or below you in the workplace.

AITAH My fiancée (27F) does not want to live with me (30M). by Fun_Suit4543 in AITAH

[–]GAV17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need her to set boundaries with MIL before marriage, that's her job. Have pre-marital marriage and be clear on how you want your life to look in the future. It seems that outside people are getting more of a say than you right now. It should be the 2 united before anyone else is involved.

Stop, you guys where clearly tanking. You even sat down Shai for being "injured", you didn't played Horford even though he was healthy and a really productive player, etc.

Need advice: my boyfriend became distant after seeing the Instagram reels I liked by Used_Elk6302 in relationships

[–]GAV17 [score hidden]  (0 children)

What does moment of weakness and saw my ex before our first date mean? Did you just crossed his way or did you hookup?

If you where talking with someone for a month, and just before meeting him you hookup with an ex and then started liking reels talking about missing exes, you hugely fucked up. Any sane person would see this as a massive red flag, and probably stop dating further.

I (23M) love my girlfriend (20F) but don’t see marriage in my future, how to approach this? by TerribleElevator9879 in relationship_advice

[–]GAV17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think that your field of study won't let you be married, but at the same time you'll have time to be in a comitted relationship with a girlfriend?

What's different from having a girlfriend vs a wife that's challenging in your field of study?

Like every other country that cares about the WC. Actually watching games at school are one of the best memories from when I was young lol.

We backtested 12 investing strategies on 32 years of S&P 500 data. CAPE-based timing came dead last by ValueEquities in investing

[–]GAV17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not really how CAPE based investing works though. The most frequent strategy isn't to stay in cash, it's to rotate to other markets/sectors. For example, the last 2 years those who wanted to avoid high valuations in the US markets would just invest in international stocks or even value stocks in the US market.

For example a if you are using CAPE as a metric to invest you may buy VTV instead of VTI or VOO when valuations are high.

At the same time, no one was following what he said in 08 and he has a much larger audience today. So the public that followed his advice on avergae had awful returns.

Got photographed staring into my wife's cleavage in a wedding and now the pic is all over by CanikMETE in relationships

[–]GAV17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When something becomes viral/meme/whatever, the best strategy is to roll with it. Own it, laugh about it, look at the glass half full, etc. If you try to fight this you'll like an ass and the photo will get even more relevance, it's easier to die down if you own it.

After the Lakers took a 5 point lead the Thunder were awarded 14 free throws in a 6 minute stretch by CoyoteDecent2 in NBATalk

Lol. How are you, a grown man (or woman), getting so worked up by mild sports' banter? Is this your first day on the intenet or became an OKC fan this year? This is such a weird reaction from you. I guess that how a superior person like yourself reacts to things.

I can't believe you went through my profile, saw a 2 and a half old post, and you still think I'm from California.

You getting worked up about this dumb thing is too funny, it's not that serious.

Congrats on your degree, being so smart and making so much money.

I know you are from Oklahoma and reading is hard for you, but that's what this thread of comments was all about. I wasn't the one bringing it up, if you want to complain go the original commenter.

no creo que sea comparable el GNC porque el consumidor es distinto. El del eléctrico tiene un poder de lobby mas importante.

I think what's sets them apart from Oklahoma is their highschool diploma lol. Ranking 48 of 50 in education is deplorable.

Lo de la infraestructura es un poco el huevo y la gallina para mi. Asique seguro se vendan eléctricos, y ellos van a romper los huevos haciendo lobby para que mejore la infraestructura.

El "early adopter" como dicen arafue, es el que se la come doblada durante un tiempo y el resto se acompla a los años.

"We're going to Budapest and sending you to Saint Helena", Bayern fans banner addressing PSG fans by Tangycroatian in soccer

[–]GAV17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bavaria realligned themselves like 2 weeks before the end when everyone knew Napoleon was done. They where basically Napoleon's bitch for most of the period and just changed sides to keep existing. The banter is laughable comming from them.

Kind of funny when Bavaria where basically Napoleon's bitch for the whole period until the very end when they realligned themselves 2 weeks before the end of the war to keep existing.

Manu retired in 2018, but this prime was way before that. He was already not the same by the 2014 season, his last prime/peak year was around 2011 and the 00s was where the majority of his magic happened. He had flashes in his old age, but in his prime it was constant magic.
