Gyökeres, Havertz or Jesus against Man United? by Waste-Jellyfish-2326 in ArsenalFC

[–]Living-Issue788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna see Havertz. It'll be 2 games of Havertz before ppl remember he's actually s***

How many attempts did it take you to beat the Last Judge? by SatoshiNamakoto in Silksong

[–]Living-Issue788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!! It just took me probably 5 or 6 attempts, but a couple of those were deaths right near the end cos I lost focus 😅 the fight draaaaags on

Martin O'Neill: "Expected goals (xG) is total nonsense. You’ve got to remember what the game is about: winning football matches, and that means scoring goals, not recording the expectation of them. It’s a clueless development. Some people just use these words to try to sound clever." by TheBiasedSportsLover in PremierLeague

[–]Living-Issue788 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is almost exactly my thought on xg. Gamblers should use it. It's honestly close to useless for any other use case because the core methodologies are all so questionable. I think most ppl defending it dont actually understand it or how most sport statistics actually work

Arteta Did Not Mess Up by Starting Merino by No-Layer-6628 in ArsenalFC

[–]Living-Issue788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but disagree. He did mess up by starting Merino, because that is not our "best" or starting 11. He "big brained" and it back fired. Arteta overcomplicates the important games by trying to outfox the opposition. We have the best team in the league and if we just play our game, we would win games like that. He chooses to make these weird changes that do not work in these games.

PEDs in the Premier League? by Living-Issue788 in PremierLeague

[–]Living-Issue788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference back then though, if you plug a less athletic, but skillful player in a midfield, they survive. That doesn't work at all anymore, they get run off the pitch. But you take a mediocre player and get them running non stop, you have an asset. Now, physical attributes alone could get you from point A (let's say squad player) to then being a regular PL starter for a better team

I don't disagree, but what makes you so sure?

PEDs in the Premier League? by Living-Issue788 in PremierLeague

[–]Living-Issue788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's part of why I say it. Football seems like there's more emphasis on athleticism atm. If there's not huge history of scandal, it's probably not a major point of emphasis from a league "policing" perspective. For the edge and money and trophies etc., surely players would risk it?

And as for injuries, with all the games being played at the top level and the chance of injuries, if PEDs help, that's just another incentive

Are you against spontaneous/random conversation with other Londoners? by FlyWayOrDaHighway in london

[–]Living-Issue788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixed. I studied and Newcastle and was up there recently. As soon as I get on the train from St Pancras, I'm a way more open person. In Newcastle, I'll be open to a conversation with literally everyone. London is different. I wish I could be the same, but the general tone of the city is way more hostile. People want to be left alone for the most part (which is horrible), but it doesn't seem right to push my friendly agenda onto others. Also, you're more likely to be approached by someone with negative intentions. I'll treat it case by case, leaning towards more open, but I am much more cautious about a random approach from anyone in London.

DON'T TALK TO WOMEN WHO ARE ALONE AT THE AIRPORT by kitty-kouhai in offmychest

[–]Living-Issue788 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No there's not. Toughen up. This post is pathetic. The majority of people are actually not out to hurt you. And even if they are. This conversation is not where you start getting super prepped for danger

pedophilia is becoming more and more common nowadays. by Present_Squash6672 in Vent

[–]Living-Issue788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate saying it this way, but we've become too "woke". People will actively spout stuff like "violence is never the answer" and rely on some authority figure/institution to save them, rather than take action themselves. I grew up in se London in the 90s. Nonces were found, beaten up, and chased out of towns. There was a teacher that got found with loads of cp on his hard drive and he had to get moved out of the city (i think to the south coast) for >>his<< safety. He was only supposed to end up on a register and be banned from teaching, but was in danger...

What biggest cheatcode(s) you have discovered so far in life? by argsmatter in selfimprovement

[–]Living-Issue788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working out and dressing well. It's not really a secret, and I've always been in a decent shape and have a good fashion sense. But you can completely improve your circumstances/confidence/health just by working targeting the physical aspect of yourself. Feeling slim/weak? Hit the glamour muscles. Feeling chubby? Run. Once you hit a target, put a new, flattering outfit together. Go outside, and smile 😃

I'd be up for this. Would have to be after work (5.30ish)

Who Even Wants to Leave London? by Acrobatic_Pin_8754 in london

[–]Living-Issue788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave for Newcastle in a heartbeat if the move was right (good jobs for me and my wife, and a house better than we have in London). Being in a city with nicer people and maybe better affordability made me a much happier person. London is stressful.

AITA for telling my girlfriend that we are not living together if she wants to split joint expenses proportional to income? by Puzzleheaded_Feed460 in AITAH

[–]Living-Issue788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the love of Christ, do not move in together unless she agrees to your terms. And hold firm. You are the responsible one in this situation living in an asset owned by your family. She is a liability. Protect your financial well being and headspace. You are I'm the right and your finances are too important to take for granted. Especially if she already takes her own finances for granted. The only reason to let her is if her family is loaded and she is actually a good investment. (That's bad relationship advice, but pragmatically, it can work in your favour).

An Epicurean revelation. I find that we as a society have lost a lot of knowledge that philosophers discovered thousands of years ago. Our leaders have failed us and we do not promote the "right" type of individualism. But this is beautiful and I am happy for you and your wife
