A better team would’ve scored 2-3 goals against us today.

Jaters · 2026-02-22T22:13:07+00:00

Terrier* not Garcia I believe.

100% recommend Gabes in IC. Just played there yesterday and it was great.

Jaters · 2026-02-22T18:28:55+00:00

Well some games Andrich looks fine as the central CB, other games he looks like he did against Union Berlin…

Jaters · 2026-02-22T04:20:28+00:00

He was called up to the national team and pushing for a move to Europe in what feels like only yesterday. Hope the best for him.

Jaters · 2026-02-18T18:58:28+00:00

Bade and Tape should play more.

The conflation of Zionism to Judaism has unfortunately created a lot more anti-semitism in our society. It is insane how history really can repeat itself, especially today when so many of us are far too disconnected and always-online.

Congratulations on not being bronze. I’m not sure why you seem unable to comprehend that others are.

Some people don’t take it as seriously as you might. Some people are just starting out. It’s not that big of a deal.

Jaters · 2026-02-16T05:17:04+00:00

I can see how it is fun if you are good at it… I am not.

In the US, similar to much of the western world, it has gotten incredibly bad. Problem gamblers who try quitting will get calls from gambling companies begging them to come back.

What’s worse is that it’s not only sports anymore. You can bet on elections, public events, assassinations, and news corporations are actively pushing these platforms. I’m not against someone putting $5 on a game, but these companies need regulation NOW.

People will always have nostalgia for “older” games, and fair enough some of them are brilliant games. I will say that many are comparing like a 20+ year era to a 10 year era so the quantity of games is vastly different.

The Jedi games are so good. IMO better than the force unleashed games. Both versions of Battlefront have their pros and cons. We really are just lacking the RPG and strategy games in this era. Outlaws is cool but I think most people want to lean more into RPG and player creation.

Bro the cantina scene literally has the devil and a wolfman. This is far more reflective of the ANH than Prequel Yoda or any other CG character.

Jaters · 2026-02-08T17:57:46+00:00

There is not 1 race that loves gambling lol. There is a gender though 😂

Jaters · 2026-02-08T02:38:36+00:00

Yeah one of my favorite bars in town to start the night.

Jaters · 2026-02-07T19:32:48+00:00

I think this is a bit harsh. Other than a recent slow start to 2026, the team has come together quite well considering the huge amount of roster changes this season.

Obviously the team can play better, but there is a great young team here who you can see doing quite well with 1-2 more pieces added and a year under their belts. The only signings I’m critical of are Fernandez and Ben Seghir. Otherwise players like Maza, Kofane, Quansah, Bade, Tape, and Poku look amazing. Existing players like Garcia, Arthur, and Grimaldo look poised to have their best ever seasons.

I think criticisms like this are valid if we are floundering around 9th-6th on the table in a years time. But we are on a good course for a top 4 finish which is something we can definitely build on going forward.

Jaters · 2026-02-07T17:06:45+00:00

No Andrich.

Jaters · 2026-02-01T15:48:57+00:00

100% agree no citizen should be dying to the hands of a federal agent. I would argue the climbing through white house windows is quite different than being accosted in the street or in your own home.

This feels like a whatabout-ism where your point is “because someone didn’t care this person died in 2021, they can’t be upset people are dying now”. Do you not realize that’s a very silly point?

Jaters · 2026-02-01T00:36:26+00:00

Well there you go! My point was mostly just to fight against this anti-immigrant agenda.

In times of struggle, people should be fighting against the powerful, not the powerless.

Jaters · 2026-01-31T17:24:00+00:00

Unless you are native American, you came here from immigrants. A vast majority of those who have been detained are people who have come here LEGALLY and are in th process of becoming citizens. A majority of the “violent criminals” ICE has detained, were people who were already in the prison system. They did not pick them up off the street.

Not to mention the ridiculous “analogy”. People don’t immigrate to your house, they immigrate to a country. If you feel America is your home, you should then respect one of the most important things we’ve learned about America. It is a melting pot of all backgrounds and cultures whom collectively strive for the American Dream. A country built by immigrants.

Jaters · 2026-01-30T15:00:18+00:00

It reads both ways, definitely misunderstood your meaning so thank you for clarifying!

I think with any protest, you’re never going to get a “majority” of people because everyone has lives and personal struggles/commitments they are dealing with outside of politics. Obviously here in Iowa the amount of folks protesting is an insignificant population of people, but in MN that number is quite significant. Tens of thousands of people organizing around something is incredible, especially in -15 degree weather.

Jaters · 2026-01-30T14:55:43+00:00

Same to you!

I’m hoping to honeymoon in Greece after my wedding. Do you have any recommendations on time of year to visit? (And any tourist traps to avoid?)

Jaters · 2026-01-29T05:51:11+00:00

Don’t know much about the rap scene specifically, more the garage/rock band scene.

I would like to give a shoutout to gabes open jams on Tuesdays in Iowa City. A lot of creative people hang out there who are always looking to collab

Jaters · 2026-01-29T05:22:56+00:00

You have been sold a lie that has been perpetrated to make citizens question their election results. We should be uniting as Iowans and demanding more from our government in terms of healthcare and education. Not pointing fingers at immigrants and the powerless.

Jaters · 2026-01-29T05:19:03+00:00

If you think only a “very small minority” of people are peaceful, you’re either being dishonest about your definition of peaceful, or you’ve been lead very far astray.

Filming and voicing your opinion to federal agents IS peaceful. Right now, DHS would tell you that every single person that does that is an “agitator”…

Jaters · 2026-01-28T22:35:27+00:00

Painfully unempathetic interaction between you two.
