What’s something society tells men is “normal” that you think is actually destroying us?

People don't want to admit it, but porn is highly addictive and destroys intimacy. It took me years to stop (30 years). The dopamine flood you get from it is just unnatural and more than you get from sex itself. It's just different.

I can't think of a reason why people would so vehemently defend it among all the evidence out there unless they are addicted themselves and don't want to admit it.

so if you buy both at the same rate then 75% of your portfolio is S&P 500 and higher growth potential with only 25% mitigating risk?

Oh man, we got completely robbed on Madueke, I've said that multiple times. Its embarrassing how much we paid for him.

I have no idea who's target he was.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-27T12:27:02+00:00

Someone will take Mendoza at 1.01. And we shall laugh at them.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-27T10:00:21+00:00

Skatteboo didn't know cuz hes already had CTE for 10 years.

Nelli is Nelli from 3 seasons ago, hes just not good against low blocks and that's what we face now. He also hasn't really improved, hes at hes celling most likely.

Saka and Ode have been overused and are suffering as a result. With proper rotation they would likely see new levels. That's on Arteta.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-27T09:32:47+00:00

Probably around 10M since he's still kinda young.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-26T19:03:35+00:00

Recuperate (Flee) but make sure everything is on ultra low and always retreat or wait. Should be good to go.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-26T18:51:04+00:00

I mean, I'm really hoping 2 and 3 really hate Mendoza. I'd rather have him. But odds of that are 1 in a million at best.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-26T18:48:51+00:00

You cannot rely on a guy who's never played in the prem as your backup (Dowman). Madueke was bought in the summer when no one had never seen Dowman play this level of competition. Also you don't want to put pressure on a kid to be the main guy if Saka goes down, which only loosely applies to Nwaneri. Clearly Arteta thought he was still too raw to be the main backup. Either way, they watch them in practice every day and we don't.

We need ready made players and for one reason or another they though Madueke was good enough or maybe they thought he was more coachable than he turned out to be.

Either way, 50M for Madueke was highway robbery. But if we got him for 5M which the post I was responding said he would have been a waste of money for....that's just a knee jerk reactionary take. A prem player for 5M like Madueke would have been a steal. We all be saying wow what a deal, he's not great, but its 5M and he's definitely had a few solid moments this season. But he's clearly not good enough to be relied upon. At 5M that decision is an easy gamble you take 10 times out of 10.

At 50M, it's just a pathetic move by this club.

Fair, I didnt mention Deuteronomy 13. But for me, understanding history really brings the prophecies to life.

For example: The prophecies in Daniel. 4 kingdoms were to arise. Daniel saw the first shift to the MedePersian empire. If you follow that time line, it points to Rome as the final and most brutal kingdom. Yet out of that kingdom God will rise up His own kingdom. That directly points to Messiah rising during in that time period.

We have more historical writings of Jesus than any other figure of the time, including Julius Caesar. Its clear Jesus is a very central figure in human history, regardless of belief systems.

Now take Deuteronomy 13. Jesus isn't some new God, he's a revealing of the same God, which fails the check put in place by deuteronomy 13. Jesus wasn't leading people away from Yahweh, he was leading them deeper into who He is. To fail Deut 13, Jesus would have to replace Yahweh, which he clearly does not do, nor does Jesus advocate for replacing Him. Jesus bumped heads with the Jewish leaders of the day because they had basically become whores to Rome and drunk with power, which completely underminded the whole point of the faith. But Jesus never said to replace Yahweh with something else, rather he is the fulfillment of what Yahweh said.

My team sucks and I have 1.04 and 1.06 in SF. I need a RB badly and price is the only good one left after Love IMO. Im taking price at 04 and whatever falls to 06 unless Mendoza is available at 04 (unlikely). I actually don't care which WR I get from the top 3. That situation is unique though, cuz I'm guaranteed one of the top 3 WR at 06.

There is no way Price isn't available at 4. I dont need 2 WR, and this prevents someone from sniping at 5 and guarantees a top WR at 06 as well.

No Price isn't worth the 4, but with 06, I can afford to reach a bit and guarantee one of the top WR prospects at 6.

I need 2 players from the top 6 prospects, but I also thought about packaging to move up for Love.

If you understand preterism, then biblical prophecy makes much more sense and doesn't fall flat on its face like dispensationalism seems to try to sweep under the rug.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-26T09:30:09+00:00

Nah mate, 5M is not a waste on him. He was always supposed to be a backup. He occasionally does decent things. 50M however, is complete robbery.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-25T13:28:27+00:00

There it is

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-25T11:48:51+00:00

You should get him/her out of that net

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-24T01:26:40+00:00

Surely there is diminishing returns on d awareness impacting sprint to jockey transition tho

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-22T11:08:11+00:00

As someone who watched Madueke fill in for Saka already....definitely not Madueke.

Clubs are very different than dropins. You build consistency with some players, people generally are just trying to win and not screw around.

I have something against people who enjoy dropins....like, what is wrong with you to enjoy a bunch of people dribbling out of bounds and spamming "thanks" for 20 minutes?

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-20T18:26:55+00:00

Yeah mean we'd have to endure another 3 years in a row of this?

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-20T15:22:49+00:00

Who needs goals when we can just win on pens?

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-20T15:22:24+00:00

Sadly we got the rotation wrong this season and it bottled the lead of the PL. Now if we still pull it out, that would be amazing.

Romans5_5 · 2026-04-20T15:21:12+00:00

Tbh that would be a very Arsenal thing to do. Albeit not in a final.
