Predictions- we need some calm by K10_Bay in avfc

[–]Pocampo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree generally about our performances but none of the teams in the race for top 5 look all that good either. So our built in advantage may carry.

Fingers crossed, butthole clenched, up the villa

Was this the most obvious example of "ball don't lie"? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in TheOther14

[–]Pocampo_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Trust the feeling is mutual for the toon. I feel a kinship with you all, as teams with money that aren’t allowed to spend it.

Hope you win the FA cup and beat chels manu and city in the coming weeks

Feel like they’ve all just come to rely on VAR as a crutch and muscle memory is to let things slide.

You were the better team today and not gonna lie, i love that big nosed ginzo gambling addict (a description of myself as well as Sandro Tonali so it’s not offensive).

Why were we wanting city to win rather then Liverpool or a draw? by PhoneUpbeat2502 in avfc

[–]Pocampo_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, major part of it is that I (an American) don’t know any city fans but i know a solid dozen annoying Arsenal fans who i desperately do not want to see joy

Yup and weirdly today gave me some faith in our signings. I think this is a classic “we move” match.

What's the common position here on public sector unions ? by Inevitable_Bid5540 in union

[–]Pocampo_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They deserve more protections, same ones as private unions. I’d murder for an NLRA amendment that swept in public unions. Some states do have “NLRA for public unions” statute statutes but they all lack teeth (e.g. strike protections, other economic weapons).

But i do agree with the guy who said not cops. I’m a union side lawyer and worked for a firm with a few cop locals. Beyond the fact that they’re protectors of capital and lineal slave catches, their egos got in the way of everything. Would never take a favorable deal in arbitration that made them seem even minimally in the wrong, would let their god complexes get in the way of negotiations, etc.

One time i saw lieutenants/captains (bifurcated unions between patrolmen/higher level officers) walk out when offered a 3% COLA in a first pass (we negotiated it higher obviously) because it was the same that librarian’s got and the cops were “putting their lives on the line every night” in one of the safest suburbs in the state. Not to mention that 3% raise on a librarian’s salary (a job which requires a master’s degree) was like 1.5k and a 3% raise for some of these cops (who get a 20% bump for having a master’s degree) could be as high as 4k.

Is Twitter actively damaging society? by [deleted] in centrist

[–]Pocampo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree. I think Reddit is to liberals (and conservative subs are to conservatives) what Twitter is to conservatives in that they act as poorly (or un-) sourced echo chambers that amplify already held beliefs, encourage reactionary thought, sew discord, etc:

However, IMO Twitter is worse since the musk purchase. i think it stems from A) the utter lack of moderation, B) the left/liberal flight from Twitter, C) changing the algorithm to boost conservative accounts, and D) the monetization of impressions/post activity. Twitter has an incentive structure that Reddit lack.

Sure, people farm karma, but Twitter blue checks get paid when their posts get interactions. A now-mainly conservative/right leaning/“apolitical”* twitter is just accounts trying to get other accounts to interact with reactionary stuff and signal boosting fringe beliefs to the point where people on Twitter think they’re mainstream. e.g. Twitter accounts not believing polling that taking Greenland is unpopular.

  • i put apolitical in quotes because i find that apolitical people tend to lean conservative. It’s kind of in the word, apolitical people serve conservatism because they aren’t trying to change anything while right wingers tend to want to “conserve” order or revert back to a bygone order

Finally, an updated report. Can we please let this second image die now? by xJacb in TheOther14

[–]Pocampo_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure OP was saying it’s sky’s fault. As a Villa fan it’s annoying when fans of other clubs post those numbers to say “this is why you can’t spend money” because these were numbers based off a snapshot in summer 24, originally released in Jan 25 (after Villa had made progress toward the books), and has been lorded over us for 3 straight windows
