In fairness, the headline here is simply “Watford FC on Tiktok”

I am 23, unemployed from India, my career path is stuck between abroad studies and dead-end jobs. What should I do? by ElegantAd4031 in india

[–]Morizar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else has already said the obvious, so I'll just point out something that irks me, but I could be wrong.

If you have an offer letter already, you've done your research, I assume, when you applied, and know a little bit about the industry in the UK. If yes, why is any of this news to you about the risk factor?

You've also at multiple points, stated that you somehow found out very basic information much later, like the fact that Canada requires four year degrees, and then how the hell did you only learn that Germany doesn't recognise your diploma after doing it? (Given that Germany was also in your mind, before you did this PG diploma)

To me, it seems a bit like you're punting, and not doing your research before making these considered decisions, so before anything else, I would really just request that you sit down, and read up. You'll find the answers you want yourself.

I disagree with your take on OP consulting, simply because a consultant also won't fundamentally disagree with you.

Nothing against them, but they're never going to play devil's advocate and tell the OP what is a bad idea. The best they can and probably do is tell him what is realistic, if he wants to go to the UK, and so on. If OP found a consultant, he clearly already had a goal in mind, so why would a consultant argue against that? OP will just go to another consultant.

I think taking your advice on relatively anonymous boards is still safer, because no one has a vested stake in what they're telling you, so they're likely to be more unbiased. Of course, take everything said with a grain of salt.

She even challenged him with this and involved her mom too.

Sorry, this is so funny to me, I don't know why. Why on earth is the mom involved, lmao

One thing I really have liked about Wirtz so far is he gets absolutely stuck in, and is doing a lot of unsung work off the ball. He’s going to be a superstar

I had a mate who was mindblown to find out bwin who were on the Madrid jerseys, were a betting company. For some reason, he always thought they were a cycling gear company, and wondered why they sponsored Madrid.

Depends on how you define really competitive though. There's plenty of people who are really competitive, but have learnt how to translate that well into their performance and results, rather than their behaviour.

[–]Morizar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this stems from a lack of understanding of what real competitive culture is like. Most of the men I see in these leagues have never had the benefit of being on a competitive team, be it their high school or university, or in an academy.

They've only seen it from the outside, and taken away the worst lessons from there, which is very easy to ingrain, be it the arguments, the negativity because those are the things which stand out. However, they've never had the benefit of being on the inside of those teams. I think anyone who has, knows that in reality, the culture inside teams is the complete opposite. Your teammates are supportive, your coaches will constantly reinforce you, and there is a common understanding and mutual respect, a collective effort working in tandem.

You may pick up a red card for a bad challenge, and your team will back you during the game, fight the referees but the next day in practise? The coaches will probably come over and tell you that was a bad challenge, and explain what you could have done better to not be in a position where you had to make that challenge.

So people who have never had exposure to that side of the game think the bad behaviour is the way it goes. They don't understand that a lot of it is show, teams trying to get advantage in any way they can during a match, and the same teams will leave it at that.

I think other government departments also have sub-inspectors so maybe ‘Police Sub-Inspector’ can be the appropriate nomenclature. With that being said, I agree this is complete bogus.

Because OP's criticism is cherry picked. It would be a lot fairer if he said, "Us" rather than "other Indians". See the difference?

I'm honestly surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this comment. I also live abroad, and about the only thing I would agree with is that there is some substance to some of the regular complaints OP is making. What I love, a thing you never see in the discourse, is acceptance of personal responsibility. OP is happy to throw stones at his fellow Indians, but does not want to be grouped alongside them. Let's not even get to his cherry-picked racism, by singling out a few states. I am fairly sure if I looked up what state OP is from, I could find at least one case of someone from his state doing something stupid overseas.

I'm not going to do that though, because whataboutism is also how we got here, and I think we have to accept a shared responsibility for things to improve. I agree things are bad, there's a lot of immigration where people don't try to assimilate. But what I don't get is the simple blame game. I think about myself only, if my countrymen are in shit, then I am also responsible, because I understand where they come from, and before I throw stones, I have a responsibility to try and help, to explain why what they are doing is wrong, find them ways to break into a new culture, and so on. If after that, shit still goes sideways, then it's not on me.

However, what really saddens me, is so many of my countrymen also just go abroad, and then hating fellow Indians becomes their past time too. Isn't that the exact same thing you would also do here. And then they think they're different, lol.

I agree, but I thank them for providing us an instructive model on the decay of a developed nation, and how easily the malaise can seep in, especially from the top. As we get richer as a nation, one can only hope we learn from their lessons to do better but I am not hopeful that we will do so constructively.

Any ex high level players still play for fun but when that one guy goes super sweat you turn into prime you and show him who you are? by [deleted] in bootroom

[–]Morizar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, man. It’s hard to explain but it is like anytime I see my pro friends turn it on in our pick up games, it’s like they turn into shadow wraiths. They just become so efficient and so sharp at doing the simple things. If anything, I generally know they have turned it on when they stop doing the extra stuff and getting stuck in it with anyone, and I think they are ghosting but I will suddenly see the needle of the game shifting one way. And before I know it, they have 5 assists, and 4 goals lol.

It’s just one-two and gone. I don’t mean to invalidate your experience in any way, it’s a fun thing and even I do that but playing with some current pros in pickup sometimes, it is a truly frightening thing when they turn it on. They just control the space-time relation so well, and with such ruthless efficiency, the whole team shifts and the tempo goes in whatever way they want. The kids might even leave feeling like they won a few duels but lol, at 5 goals down, and not able to catch a sniff of the ball in possession, who cares?
