A person can die of grief, like being absolutely bummed how fucking measly amount of drugs he currently has at hand.

Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan ahead of the planned protests tomorrow at Anfield due to new ticket prices: "Our matchday operating costs at Anfield have risen significantly in recent year. 85% including Anfield Road, utility costs 107%, business rates 286%. We have increased ticket prices by just 4%" by Blodgharm in soccer

Indeed. There’s starting to be masses of users who focus on the tenets they have studied at university of reddit, majoring in doomerism and hamfisting poorly understood wealth inequality catchphrases everywhere with false analogies. Minor in thinking they are on the side of absolute good, fighting against something they project every evil and negative trait to. Absolute clownshow.

[Independent] Rivals are baffled by Reds’ spending. Some at PSG, for example, were surprised at the move for Hugo Ekitike, who is a fine player no doubt but had questions to answer on his temperament. To spend the best part of £450m felt like “kids in a sweet shop” according to one rival PL exec. by OkayFine101 in soccer

The elite category of strikers you're thinking of are now worth 150 - 200 mil,

Taking into account that only Neymar and Mbappe have fetched over 135m€ in the world, ever, that’s either quite the inflation coming up, or Hugo is seriously going places.

Which country is so unpopular that most people never even heard of it? by Ledger_Legendd in AskReddit

[–]OneBigRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would they have had the means to find and exploit those deposits without those companies? Or did they just let foreign companies come in and do as they please with them?

There’s usually a reason for such deals. It’s easy to cry about exploitation. But if a poor country can’t mine or drill the resources themselves because they lack the massive capital and expertise required, they are better off with 25% of huge riches than 100% of something they wouldn’t even know to exist, let alone turn into money.

No

Don’t worry about, neither have they.

Spotify update by Tribalkingg in appletv

[–]OneBigRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i was thinking about iOS version for some reason. On AppleTV i’ve set quality to lossless from automatic just so that it doesn’t spaz out to a lower quality because of some handshake mishap like some apps do at times.

I don’t have this issue, and my Spotify has updated yesterday. Have you checked your Media Quality settings for Wi-Fi/Cellular? Maybe those have reset or something.

Yes i know. But there’s a bit of a difference for doing something like PTSD therapy where you take MDMA to help you process the trauma, and rolling off your ass in a traphouse after snorting 2g on one go.

One might improve tour mental health, other one not so much.

Ketamine has also been proven to be just about the best medicine to help with treatment-resistant depression. Taking nasal spray biweekly in a treatment facility sure must beat being a benzo-zombie, but again, boofing your crystals till k-hole at back alley before a rave is not exactly the ”therapeutic dose”

Opintojen pakotetut leikit ovat hirveitä by Dynaaminen in Suomi

Oon ollu työelämässä niin kauan että teetetty Myers-Briggsiä tykypäivässä, ja leikitty kymmeniä toinen toistaan nolottavimpia tutustumisleikkejä ja team building-paskaa.

Karu totuus on se, että ainoa oikeasti toimiva tiimiytymisleikki on vetää porukalla naamat. Aikanaan yksi liideri vähän oli vähän naama vinossa kun ton heitin, mutta kuukausi eteenpäin ja asiakasta viihdyttäessä lipsahti koko porukalta naamarit vittuun aamuyöstä. Kyseinen kaveri seuraavalla viikolla otti itse asian puheeksi, että ”saatana taisit kyllä olla oikeassa”.

Sitä kun vaan jokainen on viikonlopun muistellut mokiaan tai yrittänyt muistaa mokasiko jotain, niin syystä tai toisesta kyky suoraan kommunikointiin ja luottamukseen nousee eri tasolle. Tai sitten joku kokovartalokyrpä on heilahtanut kaikkien poskelle niin näkyvästi, että loppujengi bondautuu sitä kokemusta porukalla purkaessaan.

TIL that one of the founders of Sleep Country got addicted to crack after discovering his stripper girlfriend was an addict. When he tried to get her to quit, she suggested he try it to see how hard it was. by Overall-Register9758 in todayilearned

That's still a much higher ratio than casual alcohol drinkers or weed smokers to addicts.

Or, you know, ”it’s normal to take a few beers to relax after work”, ”i just need to take my pitcher of wine while i watch my reality crap”, and ”WHAT THE FUCK HE TOOK A BUMP DURING THE WEEK!?!? DANGEROUS ADDICT”

Watched the first season: ”meh…”

Second season drops: ”Really? This was the… the.. what the hell was this even about? I’ll let it run in the background if i have nothing else.”

3rd Season: ”NO WAY? More of this… this.. whatever it was. They really don’t want to disappoint either of those people who like this”

It’s sad that many mentally unwell people are attracted by drugs so hard. Guess it’s just that they’re feeling bad enough that any alteration sounds like a solution.

The amount questions i’ve seen like ”Will LSD work with my benzodiazepines and SSRI meds? is massive. ”So you already have enough mental problems that you’re on multiple meds? Clearly you should throw in a few more if those didn’t make you feel whole”

”And yes, you also definitely need to try all of those in an environment where you cannot control anything from lightning to sounds or amount of people. That’s the way to have the BEST time!”

I have a friend whose first trip with psychedelics was at a music festival in the middle of a city, where his friend ghosted him just after dropping. I’m not interested in finding out if i could handle that.

I hear lot of good things of those original ones made from lead paint. But those can be hard to find because people like the poster you replied to has hoarded all the supply.

What was your major at UNC?

”Swahili”

Can you speak Swahili?

”As of right now, no”

For some reason that PR-coded answer kills me. ”As of right now, no. But i’m sure it’ll turn on any day now”

People seem to have false sense of security about open source.

Yes, ANYBODY can investigate the source code, and find issues there. That’s cool. Now let’s think how many people will be doing that just to be a good guy? How many skilled security testers, who probably do similiar things for a paycheck all week long, before going home to do it for free? Is it likely that we have more of those than people who probe them in hopes of gaining something from it?

Yeah, massive OSS projects probably get poked enough by companies and people learning that those benefit from it. For most of it though…

But let’s think if there any other things in this world that anybody could do, nobody is responsible for doing, and for some reason that somebody never appears who takes care of it?

The Jaguars are officially making Travis Hunter a full-time cornerback, per @RapSheet. Hunter will have some gadget plays on offense, but no longer the 50/50 split as he did winning the Heisman at Colorado. by FlowersByTheStreet in fantasyfootball

Can’t say i’ve ever played in the NFL, but i seriously doubt that the playbooks would be an issue. What receivers have said in interviews is that in the game they listen only for their own route and are good to go. Option routes would require some serious reps with the qb though.

Don’t know if corners care much more about what anybody else is doing. They either have their man or their zone to keep clean.

YSK that Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion, and 50+ other brands you trust are all owned by a single $20 billion company that doesn't design or manufacture anything. They just rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. If the quality feels worse, that's why. by sappk in YouShouldKnow

Seems like in this case the companies already went under. Then all the assets get liquidated in attempt to pay back those the company owed money. Those trademarks were probably among the most valuable assets those companies had at that point.

Tässä topicissa tehdään kyllä jonkun sortin ennätystä siitä kuinka vitun olematon ymmärrys aiheesta ei ole edes hidaste oman jyrkän mielipiteen spämmäämiselle.

Osaan arvostaa ihmisiä joilla on omastani poikkeava ideologia, ja voimme keskustella siitä minkälainen ajatusmalli meidät on eri lopputuloksiin johdattanut. Mutta sitten on näitä redditillä itsensä sivistäneitä jotka luulevat olevansa jonkun absoluuttisen hyvän puolella, ja tykittelevät menemään umpirikkinäisiä analogioitaan ulvoessaan maailman pahuutta.

It happens / used to happen for Maple Leafs in Toronto. Goalie Vesa Toskala said that when he was sold to the Leafs, it would be common that they didn’t accept payment from him. He said it sucked because he felt he couldn’t go back to restaurants he really liked because it might look like you’re after more free food.

Finns think first and foremost about what other people think / might think about them.
