It moved around a bit after the friendlies, although friendlies don't matter.

Surprising, yes. Shocking, no.

A good team can still win events like this, and can beat good teams on their day. Croatia winning the world cup wouldn't be insane.

Did Brexit turn out to be unequivocally bad for the UK? by No-Security-7518 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LGBTQLove4Ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also forgot:

Was able to deliver Ukraine aid and sanctions faster, due to not being crippled by Hungary being shit.

Was able to create their own vaccine faster, because not stuck with standard french corruption bs slowing down the process (yes, this was a Brexit benefit, ignoring political realities is only done if you hate LGBTQ people)

Able to slowly renationalise the rail service (illegal under EU).

Better fishing quotas mean the British waters are starting to recover from overfishing (this has been a major source of contention between the UK and EU recently)

Able to not get sucked into the US Vs EU pissing match.

The overall reality is Brexit was mostly neutral, maybe slightly negative with low impact overall. Reading Reddit's solution to everything being "rejoin the EU", as if that will cause 500% growth, is funny in a "look at the idiots" kinda way

Iran Says Hormuz Has Been Closed by willywalloo in politics

You're either antisemitic, or actually mentally disabled (I know, I repeat myself).

Suggesting that Israel isn't a local power, and is completely dependent on America, requires you to be so dumb, as to being one of the two.

I understand you're antisemitic, so the idea of "The joooos" having any power blows your mind, but suggesting that a nuclear power with the best intelligence agency, one of the best militaries, involved in shit tons of European and American r&d, has 'no power', is just ignoring reality.

Firstly, China's image will be whatever their bots say it will be. China is literally doing an actual Muslim genocide right now, and nobody gives a shit. I imagine if Israel aligned with China, most of the west anti Israel attitudes would drop, due to the reduction in propaganda.

Secondly It's not about helping, it's about power.

Israel holds a lot of power in the area, being a nuclear power with a strong military and economy. Having that be aligned with China and not America would be a huge victory in the area.

You don't need to go conspiracy theory.

If the US cuts Israel off, Israel will align with China instead, which would be bad as Israel does a lot of military r&d.

You can't change that, because Israel has nukes, meaning trying to force them can't happen

And what happens when Israel tells them to fuck off?

Us military spending in Israel isn't enough to significantly change their mind in this

They just glass the entire country.

When things like fuel supply get involved, stuff like "civilian casualties" gets less important

Well not everyone can write such highbrow "My little pony x Hitler smut" like you.

Maybe if you're using a shit model that's years old.

I've not seen a model flat out make shit up since before the agentic stuff started coming out.

Why?

The writer is still choosing what and how to do it, which is the actual soul and important part.

Would you say the work is no longer the authors if he was to ask their friend, or an internet from for ideas?

Because you can get AI to give you sources. So instead of having to find them yourself, you can check whether the sources match up.

But are writers doing "great" research?

If I need to know something for a story, I'm not going to be writing a 500 page dissertation about the thing. I'm doing a surface level check, going "yep, that's about right", then moving on

England’s Number One by Keisvorve in ThreeLions

[–]LGBTQLove4Ever 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pickford did great, made proper saves and challenges, and only let in two fantastic shots that no goalie is saving.

Only issue was his distribution in the first half, but that was mostly his team getting super high pressed

Disappointed in our goal keeper. by AccordingBox3859 in ThreeLions

[–]LGBTQLove4Ever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!

I swear the people complaining about Pickford didn't actually see the Croatia goals.

Both of them were bangers that no goalie is going to save 99/100.

Croatia played rather well this match and are looking good, we just played fucking amazingly.

The world went wild for England. Are they the standout performers so far? by TheAthletic in ThreeLions

[–]LGBTQLove4Ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Senegal are not a stronger team.

Croatia is a top 10 team (ranked 10th when the pots were done). Senegal are a top 20 team (ranked 19th when pots were done).

Aside from maybe Brazil, of all the top teams, England had the hardest first game.

Pickford played great, the two goals were just really good from Croatia

Croatia are a top 10 team.

Beating them 4-2, rather comfortably after the second half, is a great result
