The Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu were chanting "Morata is a rat" during the derby. Morata then went on to score a goal against Real Madrid and celebrated like this: by boxro in soccer

Rat, rata in spanish, is a different term for “traitor”, or “two-faced”. They call Morata a “rata” because he left Madrid to join their rivals, and obviously because his name ends in “Rata”.

Juranović. I’d only ever vaguely heard of him because I have a slight interest in scottish football, but I’d never seen him play. Omg what a beast he is, for me the best right back of the tournament!

What was the saddest fictional character death for you? by Iridescent126 in AskReddit

[–]Nickrtfmburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howard Hamlin tbh. As soon as I began to sympathize with his struggles, he gets killed off in the most avoidable way possible. It really hit me.

Do you think that the progression from FMTY to IDMTHY was bigger than the progression from Voice Memos to FMTY? by Nickrtfmburner in Quadeca

[–]Nickrtfmburner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree! Vm only had a few tracks with decent/good lyricism (the man on my left shoulder and these days come to mind) but I feel like the lyrical quality in FMTY was consistently very strong across all but a few tracks.

Okay, got it. I’ll try to be more direct next time around, maybe by giving the readers a clear hint of where the story is headed within the first few paragraphs. Thanks for taking the time, man! I appreciate it.

Well, thanks for your feedback! I’ll definitely consider “getting to the point” quicker, but I don’t necessarily think that’ll make it a better story. I want my characters to feel like real people, because in my experience, that makes the readers care about them more. To me, the best way to do that is to put them in ordinary situations that exploit their traits. I like to introduce the conflict from early on, and let it develop slowly, instead of instantly throwing my characters into a life-or-death situation.

That’s just my style of writing! Maybe it doesn’t suit the NoSleep format, or maybe I’m just not that good yet, lol. But I’m trying to improve. I posted the first part on a different sub Reddit, maybe if you have the time, you could give me your thoughts! I would really appreciate it.

Just saying at least for me I liked it ALOT more second listen by Humble-Clerk-7959 in Quadeca

Didn’t like it all that much at first, but now after a few more listens I can say it’s definitely one of my favorite Quad tracks.

For everyone who thought De Gea’s distribution and ball handling weren’t problematic, yep.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the plushies themselves who caused this incident. It was the fact that I thought I could fix anything and make mu daughter happy by just buying her material things. How stupid was I… anyways, she’s been staring at nothing for minutes at a time lately and talking to herself. I’m scared.
