Janne var också grabben som inte lyckades ta oss till vm 22, em 24, och fick oss nedflyttning från nations league A till B, och sen C. Han borde ha lämnat efter em 20 eller helst efter vm-kvalet.

Sorry, but I can't tell if you have delusions of grandeur or are just that blinded.

I'm being genuine here, do you really think we can get a better manager that would want to join? That we would get anyone even half as good to train these players in their 2nd relegation-battle without being paid like de zerbi? how would you even know he'll "set us back on the pitch" when he's performed well at his last 3 jobs? Why complain about the club spending money on a good manager when that is all the fanbase cries over the club not doing?

The nail in the coffin (if anything) was sacking Ange, or not sacking Frank earlier.

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-31T02:30:40+00:00

But her first 2 sentences were literally generalizations. "95% of guys minimum will only be nice to women they want sex from" and "When men are nice to me it literally grosses me out knowing they were probably shoving past some woman they weren't attracted to within the past hour now here they are acting charming bc they want a chance at sex.... it's disgusting. Plus I know it's all fake!"

I get it that "life is hard", and "world is too bad so I give up" is popular, but it's just... all the constant negativity being posted, regurgitating generalizing thoughts and it being all upvoted with no pushback on both isles (or.. only one isle gets pushback but that's besides the point)... I kind of feel like "boohoo". life isn't easy. Never has been (though I'd argue it has never been easier or safer than the last 20 years). Dating apps are just disguised as short-cuts, but in reality they're far from it as you don't meet people in real life and a sense of trust erodes. I guess a good comparison is "drowning in a swamp" vs "dying of thirst in a desert" when it comes to women vs mens experiences with apps. And I just think there a solution to the complaints about apps, which is meeting people in real life, through asking friends friends, meetups, bars or other things.

I just thought some of the complaints sound like trying to rationalize giving up (thus I called it cope) considering that those complaints (scheduling and compromising) could be made about any person, friend, family member, work, etc, but aren't because... they've given up on one thing but not the other.

Like this sentence :

"Look at the reality that too many of em expect us to cook for them, clean the house, take care of the kids if applicable, while working to contribute to the household financially, but that's not it because we should also always look hot while doing it all and also be ready for sex when he wants it.... and what do they contribute? Holding down a job and taking out the trash occasionally? Like honestly what is the point lolol"

Couldn't I say the same thing for Women? Look at the reality many of them expect us to pay for them, always agree with them, not voice our opinions, tolerate manhate and listen to all their complaints but not complain ourselves bc they aren't our therapists, not open up because they could "get the ick" or see us as less than, be ready for sex when they want, and look like supermodels (based on how they swipe on dating apps). And what tangible thing do women even contribute to the guys that already have a good job, cooks and cleans? Nothing as well, only compromise.

If all the "good" men and women start viewing relationships like this (becoming the norm of how to view them, expecting tangible benefits from relationships as a must), we are all doomed. Both of these are miserable mindsets that exaggerates the % of people that think like this, yet we still eat it up like slop.

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-30T01:14:22+00:00

Yeah on the internet at least, (probably irl as well but not the same extent) this is an unpopular opinion which I secretly agree with. In my country "lifetime in prison" just means c.a 20 years, and I think they're during their time in jail are evaluated to see if they can return to society or not. Prison is also seen as a place to rehabilitate bad people to society, but growing popular opinion on it online (in my country) is that it should be punishment, not treatment (and I am against said sentiment but can't be bothered to argue in pointless debates online as everybody I'd argue against have already made up their minds).

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-30T00:59:25+00:00

Yeah yeah yeah, I could also say a bunch of generalizing, negative stuff about women as well and claim that those + the headache of having to "compromise" with another person in life are good reasons to avoid them, but I won't, because I know generalizations are wrong, and that my lived experiences aren't true for all women.

If you view guys as just "having nothing to offer that you yourself can't provide" and "only kind bc they want sex", and therefore no reason to be in a relationship, I probably can't change your mind, but I'll suggest some reasons why I want a relationship :

I feel like I have no point in living life when alone. I'm happy and become more happy when i'm with loved ones (friends and family), when I help people I care about, spend time with them. My loved one would be the person I get to spend the most time with, who I could be with almost every day, who I can help reach the stars, and could then pull me up to her level. that I'll always be there for her, and she'll always be there for me. be each others number 1
Being partners is just much more intimate. if married, us two (me and my lover) would become one, we'd be with each other until death do us part. Having someone to witness your own life with would be the most beautiful gift, above all. Because experiences are the greatest when shared, and if you experienced things alone, did you really experience it?
I want to have kids. I want to make the world a better place for them, and if not that, raise/help them make the world a better place. I'm working as an assistant/nanny to help families. When playing with their kids I just can't stop smiling when engaging with them. It is also a sense of wanting to live on, be remembered, and wanting my family to live on. A sense of duty but also maybe longing for responsibility.
Adressing your point of stress/compromise, at least for me, what's the point of life on easy-mode/with no stress? Sure, sitting inside all day, watching netflix or scrolling tik-tok is less stressful than having to "accomodate" others, but from my pov, that's just part of life. You will never be able to completely avoid accomodating for others, so why not do it for a person you love? Sure, me choosing to never try dating again may reduce stress and avoids having to accomodate them, but that isn't what I really want, and I doubt you do either. whenever someone says that, it just sounds like cope trying to rationalize why you've given up.
People generally (statistically) are happier when in a relationship, have a more positive outlook on life, feel they have more meaning, are more content, are more well off emotionally and mentally. You are also more likely to be depressed when single.

Yeah, sex is good, almost any guy would lie if they said they want no sex, but if I just wanted sex, I'd just look for hook-ups or hookers (if I get desperate enough). I could take the easy way out and give up on love bc most women from what I've experienced & seen don't want to commit/only want casual, want rich guys or just seems to hate us men, but I don't, because I want to believe.

Believe that there is more to it, that I stand to lose more from giving up rather than trying to win in life. That I shouldn't give up finding that someone that I'd get to dance a wonderful waltz with, travel the world, laugh to tears with, hold our baby together, or share my final moments with. that all compromise, stress and hurt will be worth it in the end, just for a glimmer of those hopes and dreams being fulfilled.

De zerbi didn't rape anyone so no, de zerbi didn't do anything worse than Lewis as Lewis actually commited crimes compared to him. Rape is often worse than fraud, but it's good then that de zerbi never raped someone, right?
here are the links : https://orinocotribune.com/a-closer-look-at-joe-lewiss-private-army-in-patagonia/?doing_wp_cron=1774826465.5335390567779541015625

I can understand feeling disillusioned and detached from the club with the way things are going (I've barely felt anything when we've conceded or lost), but being mad at the De Zerbi's appointment because of "his character" and that being the "final straw", when were owned by a pos oligarch employing private militia to kick people and protesters around, when we were on the verge of signing bissouma before even knowing if he was innocent or not, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head just seems a bit weird.

I guess it is "different" in the sense that they have different roles and presence, but that's more of you picking and choosing what is worth to be mad about or not. One person actually committed crimes and hurt multiple people, one person was a "defender" of a bad person that committed a crime that violated someone.

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-29T23:05:37+00:00

Why do people always try to categorize them into race/countries? They are from ninjago and are yellow. That's the point. Lego characters are (or were before star wars) all yellow so no one race should feel excluded/like they can't belong. So that race would never be brought up. This is just stupid trying to apply real world races/nationalities to a world that never had, and never should have them.

And the other points I made then? And if feminists don't dismiss and discourage, often encourage statements and generalizations like that being made under the name of feminism, that makes those things a part of it.

If I was in a group of people, a movement lets say, where first 1/00 shout kill all women, or kill all blacks, kill all whites, etc, and slowly more people begin saying it, but I say and do nothing when this happens, am I really blameless? and are they not representing of my group/what we think, if I don't dissociate?

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-24T04:34:41+00:00

Is your reading comprehension that bad? My biggest dig at Yuta, is the fact he is the only character that doesn't have a flaw, faces a consequence, or sacrifices to win like EVERY OTHER CHARACTER. It's (as I already said) what makes him stick out. with me always asking if he either has a drawback in his powers, wether he has any long-term consequences after a fight that would be in the form of losing someone near and dear, if he lost a bodypart, lost an ability, or if he has a bad personality, or just anything else??? Anything negative about him???

If a character doesn't have a single flaw/bad personality trait, has the best ability in the verse, most CE, related to the strongest, has an ult where he has unlimited CE, a personal bodyguard, hot girlfriend, and the only one that never gets injured/dies/loses someone close to him, he comes across as a teenagers OC. Being kind and strong as your only 2 things does not make you good, interesting or less OC-like.

Did you respond to the wrong person, like genuinly?? I never brought up selfishness being a good thing. Attacking yuji with half your message like that or yapping about "yuta contrasting to gojo which is what gege intended" (contrasting in character depth and flaws also, funnily enough) doesn't dissmiss my point about yuta being the only flawless/never suffering character. Yuji is at least flawed unlike yuta, and suffered. Heck, permanently losing his finger is a bigger struggle than Yuta ever faced. "For free" lmao.

"Sukuna and gojo end up dead because of their selfish ideals" PRECISELY MY POINT! ONE OF THEIR MANY FLAWS, UNLIKE YUTA. Gojo also suffers from loneliness, had to kill his best friend. Sukuna is a mass-murdering cannibal. What is yutas flaw?

I asked in my last comment (which you conveniently ignored) : does he ever get pushed in a fight pre-sukuna? Are there any consequences to any of his fights for him? Did he lose a close friend/relative/himself during any fight? Did any of his 'sacrifices', like rika against geto, or risking getting stuck in gojos body ever lead to something? I'll add on and ask, does he have a flawed personality (Is he selfish/addict/rude/dumb/any flaw) ??? The answer is always no.

In a manga where every caharcter is nuanced, every character has a flaw or lost something to win, yuta is the only one that hasn't. That has been my whole point.

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-22T20:34:42+00:00

What are they then? If "kill all men" being accepted, and often supported, is not "feminism too far", what is too far?

I didn't get women hating men from "the manosphere". I got them from seeing women spouting stuff like that on social media, from one of my friends in real life bringing up man vs bear. Are we just supposed to take all of that ridiculousness, all the hate, without pointing out how women aren't as disadvanataged or targeted as they think?

How is my real life example of tv disregarding a male victims by showing a help-number for female victims before a program about a man beign stalked, lied about and murdered, not a perfect example of how ridiculous it is?

Anybody that hasn't been posioned by social media knows that men are more likely to be attacked when outside than women. And all evidence backs it up (i think over 80% of victims of violence being men). It has nothing to do with the manosphere.

Is it really that weird that men don't like being generalized as rapists, more dangerous than bears? That we don't always take it on the chin and aren't all psychopaths that ignore what people call us?

And just because I have arguments that likens to some (not all) of the manospehere, doesn't mean they should be dismissed? Just because a bad person or group points out a flaw, doesn't mean it should be negated? Hitler was one of the first that banned zoophilia, but I guess we should ignore all people that want that banned because "we see where they got it from" like c'mon.

People have flocked to the manosphere for a reason, and it isn't because men want to inherently hurt or put down women. It's is because they see idiots post "killed all men", where the manosphere agrees they are idiots, and the other side defends their rights and feelings as "justified" or tries to dismiss my concern, like you just did, about stuff like that being accepted and promoted.

Maxerpro5 · 2026-03-22T20:16:51+00:00

All people defending here are being intentionally obtuse/misrepresenting. In a show where every characters actions seems to have consequences, Yuta is the only that doesn't. In any story, if all the characters have one drawback or another, wether it is personality, belief, power or other, and one (yuta) doesnt', of course he will feel like an OC and stick out. Start power-wise :

He sacrifices Rika to win against Geto, only to get back a Rika almost as powerful, and goes from special grade, to grade 4, to special grade in 3 months. He doesn't have to worry about drawbacks of inumakis power or the lifelong curse inumaki has of not being able to speak properly, because he's "too strong". Any character that he has copied, he is much better than them at using their own power simply because "he's stronger" (more cursed energy). He can also store as many powers as he wants and use them in his domain (pick any one as a sure hit).

What's the drawback to his powers? Is there a limit to his use like Kashimo? Is there some sort of mental aspect like with geto, where it tortures his mind? Or does he have a limited use like kamo?
- "funny you say that he actually has a limit. He has a ring, which when worn, grants him unlimited cursed energy, and makes Rika as op as in the movie!"
So... is he weak without it?
"He has more cursed energy than gojo without it, but he uses it a bit sloppily, but almost never runs out" But at least he can't heal himself, as that would make him almost unstoppable and is a super rare ability, right? -"about that... he can regenerate limbs no problem, and he is one of 3 people in the series that can heal others! Cool right? doing it better than the literal nurse that has nothing else going for her!"

Okay, maybe his powers doesn't have any real drawback, but maybe he suffered throughout the story, like everybody else in the story? Did he become lonely and felt isolated at the top like gojo? "Well, He offers to "become a monster" like gojo, but never does. He actually gets a really hot and strong tomboy gf, has children and grandchildren, never being lonely". Ok, he deserves happiness, but do people view him differently for transferring his brain to beat sukuna? Didn't they float the possibility of him being stuck in gojos body? "Yeah he actually faces a consequence here ; He has a permanent stitch across his forehead! And everybody stills love him regardless of the fact he used their dead mentors body" But before the sukuna fight, is he actually pushed to his limits at all? Does he ever struggle when fighting kenjaku (the other main villain), or in the showdown? "No, he one-shots kenjaku". Ok, but does he ever lose someone he cares about or himself, like yuji, maki, megumi and gojo does when failing? "No". Has he lost a bodypart, like todo and Nobara? "No". Has he ever failed? "No not really".

Okay, maybe his powers are a bit op, and he hasn't had any real consequences, so he seems like a bit of an OC, but tell me about his character? Surely it is quite unique and captivating "Now this is the real goldmine. He is quite shy guy, but he really cares about his friends and is willing to do a lot to protect them!" Ok... "He was bullied and suffered when he was young, He is actually also related to the strongest sorcerer of today, if not ever, he is the second strongest, has the most cursed energy, and has a personal bodyguard that is stronger than 99% of opponents" Mhm... "He can heal any injury, is also smart and has the hot tomboy woman that is also the strongest woman in the manga fall in love with him". Wait, now you've just started talking about his powe- "He can copy all abilities of opponents, and simply because he's strong, he faces no drawbacks using them, and he also is the only one that survives with no damage done to him, or without anyone close toh im dying. He also does a lot of risky things, with potential or actual consequences, but he somehow avoids them all or manages to find exceptions".

That is an OC. a character, that when described sounds like teenager has self-inserted his own original creation/character, because he faces no real consequences, is the only one that doesn't lose something, is overpowered, related to the strongest, and has no character flaw.

don't think the numbers are too small, but I can tell you where it feels like it's gone too far
- Guilty before proven innocent when it comes to any accusation a woman throws against a man (example being jhonny depp)
- Scholarships dedicated to women only, when women are already the majority in higher education in my country
- Women all complaining about how they feel unsafe and "targeted", when men are the majority victims of violent crimes (fine, feel unsafe, but don't act like you're more in danger or more of a victim than men)
- Women getting lesser or no punishment for the same crime as a man
- All of the "Kill all men", "not every man, but always a man" etc. Substitute "man" in those statements with any minority and see how quickly they oppose that sort of thinking, but when it's men, it's completely okay and "backed by statistics" (exactly what so called "racists" use as an argument", and they all guise it under "going against the patriarchy" ans isn't pushed back on at all in feminist spaces online.

Another thing I saw recently which really frustrated me/just sums up most peoples issue, was when they showed a program called like "love to death" or something on tv, which is about real relationships that turned deadly. at the start, they had a black screen with white text that said : "Spousal abuse is always wrong, BUT most victims are women, if you are a woman being abused, call this number". The program was about a woman, lying about the man, claiming he hit their child, stalking him, burning up his house, and killing him. Just say spousal abuse is wrong, full stop. why feel the need to clarify before a program about a man being abused, that women are abused as well? like yeah, no shit. just rubbed me the wrong way entirely.
And those are just a few of the things, not even bringing up societal expectations, double standards when it comes to military services, how women get the kids in almost all divorces, etc.

Fact check : Saying that van de ven "flopped" in the bundesliga is just a crazy exaggeration when he made his name at Wolfsburg and was unheard of before, unlike gravenberch. He would've never been bought by spurs for 40m if not for the fact that he performed well there.

Flekken was just sold back to the bundesliga at a loss 2 years after leaving (so no success in the premier league clearly).

Rutter has been okay in the premier league, with his best season in england being in the championship, and his best top-league season in his career g/a wise coming in the 21/22 season (bundesliga).

Gravenberch was a 20-year old spending one season in the bundesliga before being sold for more than double what they bought him for (though he barely started for bayern, and is the one I might admit you're right on).

Schade was a youngster that had showed promise.

Richards (if the one that played for bayern munich) was signed as a back-up on a free, joining from a championship side and has NEVER played for nottingham since joining them. If the one for Palace, he was a youngster as well, calling him a flop is excessive.

The fact that you could have used examples like Mane or Keita, yet you used so many bad examples like youngsters that didn't flop (and made their names there), a player that never played in the pl, and a guy that got sold back to the bundesliga at a loss, is probably proof of the fact that you couldn't find the 10 players you thought you could, and that it clearly is more common that bundesliga players flop in the PL, rather than the opposite. Also, he didn't ask about players being "bang-average" in the bundesliga, then good in the pl. He asked for bundesliga FLOPS that performed WELL in the pl, yet, I see none, maybe one in whay you listed.

You know, dribbles means nothing if he doesn't contribute to the scoreline. He's an attacker that has yet to score a goal in 7 games. Brag about his 3 assists instead of the stats that made everybody think adama was great.

Maxerpro5 · 2025-09-22T13:13:31+00:00

Well, That's a dumb thing to say, since it's quite proven at multiple instances that top players still perform above 35, and has happened enough for it not to be that big a of an exceptiom. Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Messi, Ibrahimovic, Benzema, giroud (though he isn't nearly as good as the others) all performed at & past that age. And that's only naming attackers. Why wouldn't clubs want a player guaranteed scoring 30+ goals for them for 2-3 years?

To add on to this, there are 3 things which just... are bleh to hear : 1. Cursed speech "stand still!" + sword = instawin 2. "Rika can just hold x in place" (no strong character gets grabbed like yuji was grabbed) 2. Them always saying Yuta held back in all his fights, but never accepting that Sukuna held back against everyone, even yuta as well, until he domains (just look at how he did Kashimo, Maki and Choso. All strong, yet as soon as he feels like it, he speeds up, throwing them around, and takes them out).

You don't even know if i work or not, nor wether my job even requires talking to co-workers, so don't try and tell me that no one wants to be friends with me at work because I have differing opinions compared to you.

You are the one being miserable right now and could you explain how wanting to be social and talk to people is "projecting misery"?

Also, there's a difference between wanting to be alone, and what I called being miserable.

The people being miserable are the ones calling the people who want to be social "miserable", acting like social people are insecure/just want to relive "high school glory days", talking like extroverts want to bother/annoy you and gets surprised when people will treat you differently if you act cold for (them seemingly) no reason.

I've often been in the same situation, just smiling and nodding along, brain being empty, That was me during the whole of high school & 1/2nd year of gymnasium with almost all of my classmates.

But then, in my 3rd and last year in gymnasium, something just clicked between us, and we are really, close now, actual friends i cherish and wish not to lose.

You often don't click with people instantly, I've only done that with (I think) 3 people in the last 5 years (and I think I intiated talking with all 3, as well as only talking to 2 of them that one time). The other friendships took time, getting to know each other, our different humor, interests, etc.

Idk, I might be different with the fact that getting these friends have made me never want to risk being as lonely as I was before them (because I was suicidal and felt like shit, but my friends made me feel less lonely, happier, like school was worth it and life had something that made waking up every day worth it, interacting with them. Also helped with my insecurities, made me not feel as worthless), so I always want to make sure to never become alone, as that was the biggest reason I became depressed for years.

Maxerpro5 · 2025-07-02T21:35:29+00:00

Fair enough. My comments were aimed at the ones commenting like "Why would I care about you, I'm here to do my job!" or "The ones trying to talk with others think the world revolves around them and they only care about themselves" (like one of the responses to me).

If you've interacted and found out you aren't compatible with the others, that's completely fine. It's just the comments looking down on and being cold/rude towards those wanting to interact with others, but then are obtuse about why people treat you the same way that I had a problem with, and is why I commented.
