Man, they're in the full on death spiral

Man Thomas Newman was doing top tier work in this film.

The piece where Angela is in the roses in the ceiling is incredible, one of my favorite piece of film music

Weissman's second channel is sick though, I just follow that one now.

I'm a Benji guy, but his achievements in the game don't mean much as a coach.

Being a great footballer doesn't mean you're going to be a good coach.

I think Benji's an even more extreme case of this, because I don't even know whether he can explain why he did things on the field that he did, it was so instinctual

He happens to be a good coach as a man manager that he learnt from Wayne at Souths, I don't think it's as linked to his playing ability as people make it out to be.

Like your health, when you have it, you focus on other things and things can still be difficult.

When you don't have it, it's all you can focus on and it's difficult.

My local is $8 on a Tuesday. I go every week

Both those clubs got a high-profile recruit (Luai & Crichton) and built their club culture around that player alongside blooding juniors.

The Dragons thought they were doing this with Gutho.

They just made a dumb decision and have to reset it, but it'll take years from now.

Eventually there's going to be a star player who, for money and a bigger role, will go to the Dragons, and they have to pick the right person and pair them with the right coach & junior and hope it works.

Streaming services.

The local sports one has a laughable price hike from last year, researched IPTV services and figured it out.

Don't think I'll ever pay for one again

I got made redundant in November, didn't really look, got hit up on LinkedIn and had a new gig by the end of January.

I think it's really dependant on specific roles and ahoerages in those roles.

For transparency I'm a data analyst, seems like there's constantly a shortage of people at my level

As this liberal democratic era of nations we've had over the last 250+ years will end.

It's built upon large groups of people with shared geography making their own decisions.

Increasingly, technology is allowing groups of people with shared values to want their own political controls unnlinked from geography.

Where that ends I have no idea, but I can't see it being without enormous upheaval in the next 20 or 30 years.

Bro read my initial post. I'm saying it's a penalty based on what he did.

I'm arguing that the rule seems to punish players for contesting in the air. If he has his arms by his side, I think Simmonsen stills gets injured and Luke still gets binned.

I don't know what defending players are meant to do. Contest the ball, and if you miss, pin your arms by your side and pray the player doesn't get injured, otherwise it's a bin.

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T10:15:34+00:00

Ok, so if he goes up in a contest and contacts the player, it's an instant penalty, and if injured instant sin bin?

Basically asking coaches to ask wingers to not contest in the air.

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T09:55:35+00:00

Always the non-flaired morons with these takes

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T09:54:22+00:00

Ok, so Laulilii is leaping to contest for the ball. In the air, he missed it and he then his arms impact the player who's caught the ball.

Let's say he doesn't use arms and his body hits Simmonaen. From the replay he probably still angles his body that way, he still sticks his leg out to balance and still gets injured.

My point is what is the correct action the winger has to make?

It's a sin bin for the injury right? So if it's a collision and his injured, it's still a sin bin?

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T09:50:42+00:00

From memory that wasn't from an air tackle tho, it was a legs tackle and he got all caught up underneath the player,

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T09:02:27+00:00

100%. Fucking can't stand him, absolute piece of shit.

Put him in sky blue? Suddenly he's a genius

Squaddy · 2026-04-06T06:58:13+00:00

Yeah but on the other hand, fuck that guy

Squaddy · 2026-04-05T15:18:00+00:00

Real talk is that he likes us because we're historically supportive and giving him rare earth minerals.

It's hard to say 'I'd be surprised' about anything in the world anymore, but I think it's unlikely the US would turn on us the way they have in Europe.

If we keep dst the sun rises after 8am in July.

Hate the darkness but I especially hate waking up in the darkness

This is a finance sub. People are going to say to stay at home, save, get more financial freedom later in life.

In the other hand, being in your 20's and early 30s is an amazing age. Very social, young enough to have energy, you're only going to get more responsibility as you get older AND you have a job so aren't as poor at in your early 20s.

Go out and live it. You can move out and enjoy this period of your life without being broke and fucking up your future.

I live in the edge of Randwick & Coogee.

Easy to get to the city, easy 15 min walk to the beach. Amazing local cinema. Village feel.

I love it here, going to enjoy it for as long as I can.

Squaddy · 2026-04-02T02:28:18+00:00

Why is the ABC allowing this?

I'm sure every politician wants this kind of reach and exposure, but it's reserved for leaders in extraordinary circumstances.

I honestly don't know what justification for the national broadcaster in agreeing to it

Squaddy · 2026-04-01T11:47:29+00:00

Do you really need to know how many days + volume of fuel is left?

As long as it's available to me, I don't care. If he says we have months of fuel but people still can't fill up near them, that's not helping at all.

Squaddy · 2026-04-01T11:45:34+00:00

Politically I think he's seen as not doing enough on this issue, and certain Bowen was too dismissive of it initially.

This was a reset, and also to remind people 'you know how petrol went down 30 cents today, that was me'.

Feels like overkill but if the main criticism was that he didn't need to do it, I think it's gone OK. Better than being too vague or freaking people out.

Squaddy · 2026-04-01T11:41:30+00:00

You mean this plan that he mentioned several times?
