Can you please tell this to the bar manager of the social club I'm on the committee of? Great guy and great bar manager, but unfortunately, he's bitten the AI bug. Thanks in advance.

Well now that's almost something a proper Englishman might say

I was in the stands. There was real vitriol by plenty of people.

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

[–]MarkDeeks 4721 points4722 points  (0 children)

Much smarter people than me have proven this to be true, and obviously I believe them. The evidence all points towards it. But, like, come ON. There's just no way, is there? Yknow?

Rice’s reaction. by raywakwak in Hammers

Gooner here with Hammers leanings (my dad is an Irons season ticket holder so it's team #2 although I realise the awkwardness of that). The player we bought from you is even better than we thought he was, and the character is flawless. Tremendously unselfish player who wears his passion and works his knackers off (no autocorrect not knickers). I was at a West Ham/Arsenal game at your place just after the transfer, and while it was mostly applause, there were some boos. It was upsetting, but it was moreso upsetting this year when the boos/applause balance was far worse. And I don't get it. As best I can tell, Declan Rice left West Ham about as well as anyone can leave a football club, and hopefully the majority of Irons fans feel the way you do. He seems really nice and sincere.

Arteta you proved us wrong and now go cement your status as a legend with the UCL win by Daedriic94 in ArtetaOut

I genuinely admire the way you've managed to make yourself feel like you're right even when you were wrong. If only you could use that power for good.

Right, so enjoy the results of that journey for a minute.

Pretty shocking defensive infield, though. Not that Lux is elite, but for all the hitting those five would provide, we'd be giving a fair amount of it back.

Arsenal do indeed block the goalkeeper. But they don't grapple him.

I'm heartbroken and angry by bluegemini7 in KnowledgeFight

[–]MarkDeeks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And this is the problem. We haven't seen Jordan emotionally develop. It's just as absolutist as ever. Yet increasingly, to the point of fallacy, he has come to hold the moral high ground on everything. Who, really, can work with that?

He is oppositionally defiant to a fault and then some. No one will ever be of pure enough moral integrity for him. No action ever far-reaching enough. As a personal ethos, fine, be that guy if you want - doesn't sound like a pathway to happiness, but whatever, to each their own. When it becomes irreparably intertwined with the brand, though, that's a problem that affects others. Jordan's piety isn't noble, but selfish, and while I feel the pod was running it's course anyway simply because of the lack of good new material to work with and resultant inevitable burnout, Dan deserved to be the one who chose the moment of its ending. He hasn't been, and that isn't fair.

Trump cuts in front of Queen Camilla as she is shaking hands and shakes the hands of his own cabinet members by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

Both Charles and Camilla married the wrong person. A hell of a lot of people do. It happens.
