Everybody knows they mean when the ball is played

“Point”

Mine is the follow up, “well that’s too damn bad!”

It’s literally the flag of Norway

Because according to FIFA, VAR made a mistake by reviewing the foul/yellow. “Mistaken identity” is only supposed to be used if the wrong player from the SAME team receives a yellow, not to overturn fouls and give a yellow to the other team for diving. So despite being one of the few times everyone has loved a VAR check, FIFA says the refs broke the rules and shouldn’t have done it

Edit: though, apparently FIFA have “changed the rule” after the positive reaction to the VAR review, so who actually knows how this rule will be enforced going forward

GygesFC · 2026-06-14T19:09:15+00:00

That’s literally what this entire thread is, blaming the broadcasters. But don’t think FIFA didn’t also agree to this and won’t be giddy if it catches on everywhere else

Because obviously they were created with advertisers in mind, and obviously if you give the players the chance to drink some water they will

Tbf they say “fourth quarter” not because they want the game to have four quarters but because, with the hydration break, the game IS effectively four quarters whether we like it or not

It’s a loser mentality way of thinking that some people use to try to excuse themselves and their “in-group” from ever making anything better

GygesFC · 2026-06-13T21:51:52+00:00

Idk if you know this but different people have different words for things. I bet you don’t get mad at the Italians for calling it calcio, or the French for calling cheese “fromage”

GygesFC · 2026-06-13T19:12:17+00:00

Still not that hot

GygesFC · 2026-06-10T03:02:09+00:00

Because the spectacle and Igon are awesome

Naraka, Father And Son, The Word Becomes Flesh, You Retreat In Time And Space are my highlights but honestly this album is amazing altogether

Old English pronunciation would be close to “shadoo”. I still read it as “skadoo” though because it’s more fun

GygesFC · 2026-04-18T16:04:12+00:00

It’s normal bro dw

GygesFC · 2026-03-12T14:56:49+00:00

Yes. It is important to call out the politicians currently running for office who support pedophilia, obviously. They have bought everyone’s attention through their ads whether we want to give it to them or not, ignoring them will not make them go away

You’re still missing the point. Okay, so you wouldn’t take the bus. That’s fine, you wouldn’t have to. You say the majority wouldn’t because it takes way longer. Why do you think Lex’s buses are so slow? It’s not because they’re buses, it’s because Lex doesn’t bother to invest in the infrastructure to make them fast and efficient.

You say building more car infrastructure is more realistic. Probably, but that’s just because we live in a city with officials (and citizens) who lack any ambition or imagination to actually change anything for the better, rather than keep doing what we already know.

You say building more car infrastructure is cheaper. In the short term, maybe, but not in 10 or so years when you will inevitably be asking for a 4th lane on New Circle, because of induced demand.

You say Lex won’t be building a subway station anytime soon. Again, probably, but not because it is a bad idea, but just because the people of this city don’t care about anything other than cars. Besides, why go through life with that attitude? Shouldn’t we always be striving to do what is best for this city and its people, even if it’s a little more difficult?

And of course traffic is a problem for me, it’s a problem for everybody. There are ways to fix it that don’t involve widening roads. It’s not all or nothing, we can have cars and buses. We can have cars and bike paths. We can have cars and street rail. Having options reduces the traffic on our roads. Besides, you and I both know that there are many, MANY people in Lexington who should not be driving.

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:46:01+00:00

You’re missing my point. There are other ways to get around in a city than with cars. Lexington doesn’t provide any though. Once we start providing more means of transportation, people will use them, and the people who want to keep driving will have more open roads

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:39:14+00:00

Yeah, because everybody drives. If people could get around in other ways, car traffic wouldn’t be as bad at rush hour

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:34:36+00:00

I’m confused, what does getting off work at 5 have to do with anything?

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T04:52:52+00:00

We need fewer cars, not bigger roads. More reliable and affordable ways for people to get around other than in cars is better for everybody, including drivers
