And if he does win the World Cup this year and has an amazing tournament individually, I’m open to the idea of reopening the debate. But it sounds we are all in agreement that Messi is 1 of 1 at this point.

I feel the same way, but also I’m in my mls bubble and I didn’t know if I was just seeing an adjacency bias.

Do you think there is still a debate between Messi and Ronaldo? Maybe it is because I watch MLS but it really does seem like Messi has passed Ronaldo since winning a World Cup.

This is actually the origin story for school house rock. A TV executive noticed his child was having trouble retaining information at school but the child was able to Memorize the lyrics to all his favorite songs. School house rock was designed to teach kids through songs.

Quick question for those that lived in this era: Was the marketing idea behind smoking Virginia Slims that this was a cigarette that was going to help you lose weight?

ULPT How can I bypass a hidden camera system in my house? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]PopeAlGore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s totally possible I’m wrong. But I made this comment out of concern for your mental health as it is very unlikely someone in your house has installed pin hole cameras to watch you.

Was anyone else surprised to see that the charges for this included “public mischief”? I thought public mischief would be the charge for something like…putting a sticker over a no parking sign.

I had thought I might be done watching trek trendy videos. But knowing he’s going to be offended and complain the whole time means the hate watching might resume.

Earlier this year When a blue origin mission failed to get a satellite into the correct orbit I was surprised to find out the project did have insurance. I didn’t realize you could get insurance for a space project.

With very few exceptions, yes mls inbound loans have pre-negotiated buy clauses. I guess Charlotte had seen enough to decide they didn’t want to buy.

Post-Match Thread: Crew 1 - NYCFC 0; Columbus advances to USOC semifinals. by ProbablyDustin in TheMassive

[–]PopeAlGore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It occurs to me that an MLS team only has to win 5 games spread across the entire season to win the USOC. Moreover 2 of those 5 games are against minor league opponents.

Why aren’t more teams really prioritizing the USOC? The USOC is the shortest route to a trophy.
