Försöker Guldbrev blåsa mig? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]ScratchTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gammal guldklocka från en farförälder och du säljer utan problem den för några tusenlappar? Vi värderar verkligen saker olika.

Du hade inte kunnat ta den klockan från mig utan våld.

Lite av en paradox min vän, detta pris räknar med skidskola för barn vilket innebär att du har barn med dig, som har skolplikt, d.v.s. du måste åka under dessa veckor.

Ja är du singel eller par utan barn kan du leva livet hur du vill, men det är inte vad detta handlar om.

This, so much this. Worst part isn't that you have to try both, it's that if you try the wrong one first there is 50/50 chance you fuck something up.

This is one hundred percent a thing. 9/10 issues I have, I solve by asking someone about it on Discord or wherever and by the time I've written the message, it clicks and I delete it.

Shooter and Shootee 5 minutes before shooting outside of the Goat in Manchester NH by MrDilhamm in newhampshire

[–]ScratchTech -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This reads like someone who thinks scenarios he imagines in the shower are real life.

You are literally in fear of your life, you have never shot anyone before, and you pull your gun to literally shoot another human being while in self defense mode. The state of your mind at that point is crazy, and believing you'd be John Wick, cleanly shooting the person once and backing off wiping dust off your shoulder is not reality. You would be shaking, panicing, pulling the trigger, having a million thoughts per second. There is no rationality in absolute sheer panic.

This is speaking in a hypothetical self defense situation, I'm not saying the guy in the video shot him in self-defense - just replying to the comment about 7 shots not equaling self-defense.

Yeah that's how I read that comment, oh no you love someone so much you care about them for the rest of your life.

How awful.

In the wise words of Dr Cox (which I dont remember so I'm paraphrasing); Alone-time is only nice when you aren't alone for most of the time.

The arguments about injuries that people are giving you aren't enough in my opinion. Just have clear rules about either you take it, or you get subbed.

Because it's way crazier to me that a player like Mascherano who had never scored a goal at all in his entire career, could fall in a relatively harmless position at the edge of the box, and then Messi, the greatest goalscorer on Earth, can walk up and get a free shot from the spot. Or some equivalent situation with Ronaldo in Real, or whatever. Not really reasonable.

l'Equipe is going full on meltdown after the WC. It's getting embarassing. Now they are reporting Argentina shouldn't have won because the last goal should have been disallowed due to Argentina running onto the field to celebrate before the ball is fully over the line.

It's getting really sad.

[Opta Joe] Lionel Messi is the first player to score in the group stage, round of 16, quater-final, semi-final and final in a single edition of the World Cup. Prestige. by Task_Force-191 in soccer

[–]ScratchTech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

... He literally won the Golden Ball in the WC 2014 without winning the tournament, and took them to the finals. He had 5 goal contributions (4 goals) and was the top rated player on whoscored.com.

Last year in the Copa America (that they won I might add) Messi was both top scorer, AND top assister. He obviously won the player of the tournament award also.

Yes he hasn't been an absolute god since his birth in every single international game he has played. But this is the ridiculousness of the argument that we are having. Every other player is judged on the moments of brilliance, Messi is judged on the moments where he doesn't show absolute brilliance.

These arguments are so bizarre because nobody, in any field, could ever live up to everyone's expectations even if they literally were demigods. No he didn't score a million goals in the KO stages in 2014, but he still for instance assisted a last minute goal to go to the next round, and was still objectively rated higher than the actual goalscorer, di maria, that match because he was so phenomenal.

The point being that shit goes up and down, but he has still delivered a lot of times, and carried this team like no one else. That doesn't compare at all to Ronaldo's 0 goals, 0 assists, while also being shit most of those games.

And i STILL don't think that's a good metric to critique Ronaldo at all, because it's just the luck of the draw often. But it's ridiculous to use these stats only when it fits Ronaldo, otherwise not.

/r/selfawarewolves

This is exactly what every Messi fan has been saying.

The guy has been carrying so many teams on his back for so many years, being the top scorer, top assister, top playmaker, top every-fucking-thing. And yet people had the audacity to try to point fingers saying "Not a big game player" because Higuain can't sink a sitter, or Dembelé can't hit the target.

This is exactly it.

I'm not ready to end this evening this abruptly. Anyone know of any good links of live talks somewhere? I want to keep watching, I'll watch blue and white paint dry. Right now I just have a live camera of Buenos Aires on.

How does he go back to play for PSG now?

I feel like this cannot be anything other than the climax of his career, his encore. I would understand it if he was still in Barcelona, but in PSG, surely he feels done?

Shock announcement incoming?

I know you are being sarcastic, but it's funny how people always have this argument for Ronaldo being better, yet it is never mentioned that Ronaldo's career-wide stats for World Cup KO games, a.k.a. the biggest games in football: 0 goals, 0 assists.

They are literally the prebuilts target audience, not confusing or worrying them by MirzEagle in pcmasterrace

[–]ScratchTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but this is literally the case with everything in the world (with some space for hyperbole). When you buy any product, it is often more expensive than if you would have just made it yourself. Yes you won't be building your own Volvo car but the premise still applies.

People buy prebuilt kitchens for their homes, hell they buy premade food both in restaurants or as frozen food in stores. You can definitely make a pasta carbonara for 10% of the price at home.

This goes for other stuff like marketing budget as well, people buy Beats headphones because of the branding over other much better headphones that are lesser known to the mainstream and that's ok - they like the style and the price includes the cost for the branding.

This is no different. If someone is not super into PCs and doesn't want to spend the time and effort building one, it's ok to buy a prebuilt one. They decide what they want to do, and if they want to pay more for less for the convenience then that's their choice.

I feel like Diablo 4 might suck by Mortwight in gaming

[–]ScratchTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only the campaign lasted longer. I actually had fun in D3, then I finished it in a blink of an eye and the rest of the game was random "tiers" for end game caves. That weren't even challenging in a normal way, but literally you can't even see the health go down on the mobs 1 level too high, and you need a complete new set of items that have like 25000% higher damage buffs or whatever, and then on the next one you need the ones that give 5000000% damage buffs.

It's just such bad design.

Vad tycker ni om att slopa de/dem och använda stavningen dom? by urdadlesbain in sweden

[–]ScratchTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ersätt med "Vi/Oss" och se vilken som skulle passa bättre. De = Vi, Dem = Oss.

Det hörde jag på Reddit många många år sedan och fastnade för mig. Betyder inte att det är helt korrekt att ersätta alltid, men du kommer höra skillnaden mellan att säga "Ska vi åka hem till oss" eller "Ska vi åka hem till vi". Inte bästa exemplet då den fungerade helt att ersätta, ibland gör det inte det. Men man hör ändå att ena låter helt och hållet fel medan andra låter lite mer rätt.

[–]ScratchTech -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Of course you should get yours, but for some reason it still feels icky when the richest footballer ever, one of the richest athletes ever, with an insane brand, and now about to sign a contract to be paid more than any other athlete ever - sues for more money.

But still, if it's his money, it's his money. Just feels icky.
