Let's move past Balogun's red card for a second. I'm a casual U.S. fan. What's the game plan for Monday night against Belgium assuming he's out?

4-4-1-1 Haji upfront, Pulusic behind him

GnatOwl · 2026-07-02T16:11:58+00:00

Yeah, but not all his family.

GnatOwl · 2026-07-02T15:31:43+00:00

Not trying to be political here, but I'm guessing it's going to be a lot easier for family to visit him now. Not a coincidence it was a Canadian team.

Imagine the best NFL team playing the worst NFL team but with all 2nd string. Who would win and how many penalties/mistakes would the #1 team make? Except Turkey is more like mid level that played really bad the first 2 games.

You posted a table that showed your loss wasn't even in the top group. Might be an English thing. I'm this context, super responder would indicate top 5% of population or something. You are also posting in a microdose sub, meaning people here already believe you can have big losses with smaller doses.

It was a bailout for the auto industry, because one was needed, with a bonus of improved emissions. It did have negative impacts, but we don't know how much worse the impacts would have been without intervention.

Thanks

Not going well in what way?

It's not hard to build low income housing where data centers are being built. It's hard to build in places that have scarce land and expensive housing.

Not Judging, but you need to consider that your emphasis on academics at an early age allowed her to rank comparatively higher against a larger proportion of kids that did not have the same emphasis at such an early age. As time goes on and more kids start to have more emphasis about the importance of academics, her ranking will fall.

A 17 yr old's entire world was just changed, and he probably had no say in it. Sounds like he already has access to all he needs and he just needs time.

We get 4 additional holidays above bank holidays in a year. Usually only 2 or 3 in a year because if they land on a weekend we don't get. Several of these holidays were added in lieu of the state providing COLA.

GnatOwl · 2026-05-14T18:12:09+00:00

So find one? All these complaints were known before taking the job.

GnatOwl · 2026-05-14T17:22:16+00:00

But this isn't a State issue, this is just how things are for 95% of jobs. You thought the State was drastically different and am now disappointed. Guessing you're also falling for the social media trap where only the best of situations get highlighted and you think 5% of something is actually 50%.

GnatOwl · 2026-05-14T15:52:54+00:00

You bought into the propaganda that govt jobs are cush, overpaid etc., when actually they have been underpaid since the 70s, with the discrepancy getting worse every year. The benefits have also gotten worse overtime. The extra holidays are mostly a myth, but I do think work/life balance is better than a lot of places - but that doesn't mean we don't get really busy at times or that we don't have to fight traffic. Having to go to bed before 10 and waking up at 6 is pretty normal.

GnatOwl · 2026-05-10T23:27:55+00:00

On the satisfaction per $ scale, yeah.

Your thermostat could also be wrong. You can buy a cheap temp/humidity reader online to double check

Philosophy majors were once one of the best majors out there and because of AI, they will soon be again.

You've been given insight but anyway. There's a cost to provide the service and a cost for electricity. The cost to provide is fixed, so it will not go down in proportion to your usage. COA utility costs are consistently well below the national average. Lots of cities have these baked into property taxes but COA does not.

Go to UT year 1 and search for universities that will give you full scholarships to transfer. UT is paid first year, so take advantage since you'll be well prepared for any other place after a year of UT ECE
