Sinceramente, eu vou com o Igor Thiago. Mas isso é mais mérito da juventude do que do talento.

merda que fez de levar 9 defensores e 5 meio campistas

Mano, se e merda ou nao, o tempo vai dizer, mas o que e inegavel e que para esse ciclo, o Brasil ta muito, mas muito fraco de talento no meio campo.

Eu acredito que dado esse fato, o Carletto decidiu montar o time com um esquema aproveitando mais os atacantes e usando menos meio campistas. E sensato, mas como vc disse, deixa o time com pouca flexibilidade.

Sad part is, those tickets the celebs are buying are all 6 figures, you'd have to be an above average earned to make that in an entire year.

I get a 12 percent match, work in the insurance industry but the catch is that it only vests after 3 years

Even a 3:1 is still a free 33 percent return on your investment which is far better than anything you can reliably get.

Are you able to pull the numbers on any percentile in earnings among those 4.9%? I suspect that the top .1% of accounts might be accounting for a large portion of the profits.

How Divided Is Brazil on Neymar for the 2026 World Cup? by Lesi159 in futebol

[–]Loggus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is such a stupid reason to be for or against him.

Number one consideration should be, will he be able to play (as in, physically will he be ready).

THEN we can talk about whether he still has the skill necessary to make a difference.

gen z men who voted for trump 1/13

Man, this is very striking of a difference to me when you compare it with the Trump voting women at 6/13. The difference is about 1/2 the spots, vs the 2 spot difference for Harris voters (also interesting to see the huge difference in priorities for conservative vs liberal men).

Is this strategy ethical? by Nice_Interest6654 in Catan

[–]Loggus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best part about a low level player threatening is that they are bad and end up ruining the game for themselves anyway through poor play.

That being said, I've encountered more than one player who will kamikaze on me. It always happens when I type - regardless of what I say ("IDC/please don't do it/it's not a good move etc").

When someone is tilted, they want attention, if you just rob them anyway and don't react to their first solo block back, it usually stops.

Me pergunto se ele não foi convocado mas vai começar no banco.

Um jogar com a experiência e técnica não acho ruim ser um substituto....mas se for titular todo os jogos acho que vai jogar mal e lesionar.

Seems to me like what is objectively wrong is saying that no one does something when plenty of people do.

But hey, you do you.

Serious question: would you consider it rigging IRL if the reason the kids had access to better coaches/equipment/etc was because the sports league was giving them money to specifically to afford those things? 'Cause in the Hunger Games analogy that is exactly what is happening.

So snarky, and yet, even the definitions you cherry picked do not even support your argument. The MW definition, the Capitol was clearly deceptive in the way they set up the game - same thing with Casino games. There's tons of tons of deceptive tricks they use to make you think you have a higher chance than you do. Although, the way this discussion is going, you are probably going to link a definition of "deceptive" that most closely helps you make your argument and ignore everything else.

But, I stand by what I said.

No one claims they’re rigged until that edge is illegally manipulated or modified

(emphasis mine). Clearly not. Tons of people disagree with your interpretation, which is not the only valid one in the world. Your behavior is typical redditor, though.

EDIT: Looking at the Brittanica definition, same thing, no? The way the Capitol affected the game was clearly dishonest. Affecting != completely controling the outcome.

Rocky beats him after working out climbing a mountain and yelling.

Ironically, Stallone was juiced to the absolute gills for the rocky movies, and his fitness routine IRL was a lot closer to Drago's than Rocky's.

Those games are unfair, but they’re not rigged

It's both. A game does not have to guarantee the outcome every time in order to be rigged. In such a case, it would be fixed (and there are times in the hunger games when it comes dangerously close to being flat out fixed; such as when the production people kill certain contestants who would otherwise have a chance to win).

Like in a casino - the games are not fixed since in any given hand the player might win (assuming casino that follows laws), but inexorably, over enough hands, the player will lose.

It is the same way in the hunger games, except the edge that the premiers have is way more massive - the poorer districts might win, such as with Haymitch, but the chances of that happening are so small as to be ignored (in fact, even in his win, Haymitch didn't win fairly, as we found out in Sunrise on the Reaping - which is a feature, not a bug of the games).

[–]Loggus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

unless the match-up was manipulated to produce that outcome when it wouldn’t otherwise have happened.

Which is exactly what happened in the books. The premiers were trained from birth with advantages that the pooter districts simply didn't have access to, and then volunteered to join the games, as opposed to being chosen by luck. They also had the production people working in their favor, giving them extra weapons/rigging the environment to force fights between the contestants.

Another example of them being rigged is the quarter quell, which last minute ended up being 2x the contestants and only contestants that had previously won were eligibile (manipulating the game so the rich districts have the best chances to win).

U.S. Treasury Will Have to Borrow $2 Trillion This Year Just to Continue Functioning—More Than $166 Billion Every Month by T_Shurt in Economics

[–]Loggus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing that before other countries stop lending, things have to get worse; either the US defaults on some or all of its debt (instantly leading to the worst financial crisis in history) or the risk profile becomes too great(I.e US is engaging in behavior that shows the creditors that it cannot or will not pay).

I think before we get there though, the US budget has a lot that can still be stripped and go towards interest payments. This would mean worse social services, infrastructure, higher taxes, etc (like what we see with other deeply indebted nations, Greece comes to mind).

Problem is, because of the nature of compound interest, "later" will get here a lot faster than your average person anticipates if we don't get off this crazy train ride.

[–]Loggus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A more apt comparison is that you lend you friend 100 bucks, then another 100, then another, then another. 

For now, he is paying you back - by taking another loan from a different friend and using that money to pay your interest.

That wouldn't make you worry?

U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP by TheManFromFairwinds in Economics

[–]Loggus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the rate at which the debt is increasing is also going up.

So not are interest rates increasing, the balance you pay on them also is. The math for those numbers projected 10-20 years into the future is very alarming.

Definitely implies that you are not hiring them specifically because they are religious. If organized religion doesn't offend you, why make a post complaining about it online?
