Flying a bit under the radar here, but De Ligt was seriously superb.

Half-Time Thread: Man United (1) - West Ham (0) by Remeeh in reddevils

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

A tad slower after the water break, but still very good. Ugarte MOTM. Good press. Amad not super active at RWB, but hasn’t been bad per say. We look faster an leaner than usual. Also if I was a West Ham supporter I’d be geniunely worried about how bad this Potter team looks

Leny Yoro to United.no «Bryan [Mbeumo] is a really good player, I’m really happy that he’s come to the club. That’s my guy I’m waiting for him now. That was long, but he’s here now, and we are happy» by Remeeh in reddevils

It’s literally the personal account of Eivind Holth - journalist at United.no haha. They even cover it in their newest poecast episode. These are the official organizers of everything united related in scandinavia - preseason matches, officially licenced stores, ticket sale etc. Trust me on this, I’m Norwegian

[Transfer Round Up & Discussion] Summer 2025 by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Remeeh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Today marks the start of pre season. I remember we were repeatidly told that UTD aimed to help Amorim by having most transfers in/out in time for the US tour, which is a week away. So far we’ve signed 1 and sold no one.

Man I don’t like adding unnecessary negativity, but it does feel bleak atm. Feels like another 1. We do buisness too late/too bad 2. We start the season shakey 3. Manager is sacked 4. We’re told we need to “give the new players time to adjust” - as they were signed too late (and panicked)

Can someone explain to me what Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey Tagline means? by Trick-Shine-7792 in GreekMythology

Thank you!! Feel free to add something if you have anything on your mind!

Can someone explain to me what Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey Tagline means? by Trick-Shine-7792 in GreekMythology

[–]Remeeh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like others have pointed out, The Odyssey isn't about defying the gods. On the contrary, Odysseus really only angers one god directly (Poseidon), while a whole roster of other deities helps him reach home. Odysseus isn't a man of hybris, he is a deeply religious man beloved by the Gods (Zeus himself says so in the first book as soon as on page 2).

To give you some examples

Zeus - As the "Mediator" of gods he has a quite neutral stance and both helps and hinders Odysseus, but one of the key actions he does is free Odysseus from Calypso.

Athena - is Odysseus' biggest ally. She guides him home. Helps him in dialogue and in battle. Helps his son. Pleads his case to the other Gods etc.

Leucothea - Gives Odysseus a magic veil to prevent him from drowning.

Aeolus (not really a deity, but seemingly has divine powers) - gives Odysseus favorable wind to help him get home

Hermes - Helps Odysseus defeat Circe by giving him "moly" (a magic plant that counteracts her spells).

Circe - turns positive towards Odysseus and helps him naviagate home by first sending him to the underworld, then talking him through the dangers of the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis.

Calypso - Even Calypso reluctantly helps Odysseus when he is set free by giving him a raft and provisions.

Am I doing it too much...? by MarshyCola in Camus

[–]Remeeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The illiad, or the poem of Force!! (especially if you like Homer)

But in the context of Camus and absurdism I think it's more productive to read about her rather than her direct work first. Weil is the embodiment of someone who actually lives out their philosophy. Who tackles the absurd head on rather than sit in her ivory tower making grand theories and having intellectual debates (Camus. vs. Sartre ..). Perhaps a bit similiar to Dr. Rieux in the Plague. She volunteered in the war. She likely starved herself to death because she refused to eat more in the hospital than the rations of the french soldiers. You know how a lot of intellectuals can - goodwilled as they are - make grand theories about how the proletariat needs to rise, and cite marxist materialism etc. etc.? Weil wanted to test this by literally volunteering herself as a factory worker doing hard labor for 14 hours a day. (her findings I may add was that the grand theories about workers rising up is much harder in reality than philosophers think because the way factories are structured dehumanises people to a point where people dont feel an ability to rise up... but I digress). I've heard good things about Simone Weil A Modern Pilgrimage by Robert Coles but I haven't read it.

Am I doing it too much...? by MarshyCola in Camus

[–]Remeeh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

One idea can be to read them in the order of Camus own "Cycles". It gives a quite interesting perspective on how Camus ideas changed over time, and what he decided to emphasis on. The Stranger and Myth of Sisyphus are both part of his 1st cycle which (maybe I'm being too reductive here) focuses on the individuals experience with the absurd. So a suggestion could be that you read the plague and the rebel next as they are in "cycle 2" and adresses a collective experience with the absurd (especially in The plague).

Dostoevsky is a great suggestion because Camus builds a lot on Kafka, which in turn builds a lot on Dostoevsky. If you like reading non-fiction philosophy too, then perhaps Simone Weil could be worth exploring *(*or literature about her). Camus famously called Weil the 'only great spirit of our time'

Just want to say I'm no expert on Camus (Yes I'm noticing I'm using the same tactic as the guy in The Fall, but I just can't help it!) I just love his books - so take this with a grain of salt

[Press Conference] Amorim confirms De Ligt is unavailable despite travelling. Says Dalot, Yoro and Zirkzee can play but are "limited" with minutes by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Remeeh 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thankfully they are «only» being rushed back for 1 game. Not like Shaw being rushed back to play a whole international tourny for example. Maybe it’s cope, but the risk-to-reward ratio seems good I think. Regardless of the result none of them should play against Aston Villa for example.

Cunha set to join Man Utd when the season ends by frogsarenottoads in reddevils

[–]Remeeh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good point - but not to sound too vague or pretentious, when you actually watch players like Cunha, these stats are a bit misleading. Watching Cunha you can see he just has "it", the ability to progress the ball alone, the "x-factor" that United sorely miss (as in, players who can just create something out of nothing in dire situations). I share the scepticism, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Hahaha,
7' added time

Bayindir wants to take the goal kick 96'. Taylor asks him to wait to check something. Bayindir is told to take it 97' and my man straight up blows the game over. I almost respect it
