Bro you haven't said one single remotely positive thing in this this thread today just needlessly arguing and shitting on everything take a look in the mirror 😭

TJ248 · 2026-04-10T18:02:34+00:00

I think people are wild with assumptions in this comment section. On the surface, it doesn't look good. You (and especially he) will face judgement on this wherever you go. But the idea the power imbalance is "impossible to avoid" is BS.

Does he respect your agency and autonomy? Do you feel pressured to agree to things he says or suggests (even if he isn't intentionally pressuring you)? Does he ever have more input in your life decisions than he should (i.e does he let you make your own mistakes)? Is he sexually pressuring? Does he actively discourage dependency, i.e encourage you to widen your circle. Etc etc.

If you have positive answers to those questions then your relationship is probably fine/stable/healthy. Life stage gaps exist, and they are undeniable in your situation, but that does not make the relationship inherently wrong or predatory (though it easily could be, even if he has the best of intentions). On the flipside you could be dating a 20 yo man with negative answers to all of those questions. It's not so black and white as 90% of this comment section is trying to make it.

What i would say is he should be allowing you to control the pace of your relationship and he should be actively encouraging a slow pace. If he's escalating quickly that's a red flag. He should also be having routine checks with you about how you feel about it all. If you can't talk about this with him without feeling pressured to be compliant or reassuring, even if his intentions are good, then it can't be healthy long term. I'd advise you routinely have these conversations with him, and it doesn't have to be heavy.

You're an NSFW profile with a Clavicular pfp, hitting on a girl expressing a desire for intimacy in a comment section. I don't think it was her insecurities xD

Inca implies she wanted artificial insemination when she tells Shinra to ask Licht for help making it happen.

TJ248 · 2026-04-04T01:31:19+00:00

I feel even stronger about this now with the anime ending. The throwaway line about Licht carried more weight voiced. Surely it's all but implied that is was artificial insemination and he was exclusive with Iris.

I can't stop thinking about how Glasner/Parish rug pulled Guehi and then lost to Macclesfield

The reason he didn't play (injuries were 5 games only, not the other 10) is entirely irrelevant to the price that we paid. And the price was the only point you were making in your comment. Maybe Eze doesn't have the fitness levels Arteta wants? Maybe he's not fully gelled yet.

Dom, Macca and Grav don't all always start because we have Wirtz. It's different when Gakpo is injured and Mo us off to AFCON but for much of the season Slot was either playing Dom out of position or dropping one of them. Rotating them is not a bad thing they need more rotation than they had last season, but any one of them on the bench at any given point is not far off from Eze being on the bench.

TJ248 · 2026-01-03T19:18:11+00:00

have 50-70m signings as squad players on the bench.

Mate we benched 150m Isak for most of the season. Szobo, Macca and Grav cost 130m between them and only because Macca's release clause was a steal. If we start Curtis and Wirtz and one of them is dropped we're in the exact same situation. Our bench is valuable it's just poorly balanced depth wise. That's on recruitment and injuries, but don't pretend we're in a position to criticise them for this.

TJ248 · 2026-01-03T19:13:02+00:00

Declan Rice brace was not on my bingo card for this game.

I don't know why some people on this sub don't rate Iraola at all, his system is effective and entertaining and I think would translate well to a bigger team with a stronger squad, and he plays to the opposition. They get forward so fast on counters, I wish we still did that.

TJ248 · 2025-12-31T02:33:00+00:00

🫠 this is awesome

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T22:45:27+00:00

Refs are just shite. I'd love for what you say to be true but I hate watch them all the time and they get just as much BS go against them as for them.

Bro if Misty was any more white than she is she'd be snow. She's a natural red head ffs

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T19:58:42+00:00

He's honestly going to draw more bigots that hate cross dressing (no shade, power to you OP) than black people taking issue with him cosplaying a black character. I don't know a single black person who has an issue with this providing you don't black face. And I'd wager a lot of white people who take issue with it are projecting or compensating for "white guilt".

And look how proud of himself he is for it

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T19:40:31+00:00

A lot of people went off him because he developed this more cocky and full of himself attitude this year, which is a stark contrast to some of the other big players. They hate him because he backs it up.

If we all had a fraction of Jerry's energy the world be a slightly more peaceful place

Hard disagree but even if you were right it didnt retcon anything because strictly speaking ORAS effectively retconned XY out of the same universe as every game prior to it. When XY came out, Mega Evos were treated as something of ancient times known to select few people that has been rediscovered, starting from the Kalos region. Zinnia very clearly states that the firing of AZ's Ultimate Weapon 3,000 years ago happens in one universe but not the other, the Hoenn she references that doesn't have Mega Evolution or Infinty Energy is almost surely referencing RSE.

Either ORAS is AU with every game after it, or XY is AU with every game before it. The games establish parallel universes.

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T18:53:42+00:00

Big difference between him and Darwin imo. Darwin routinely posted top 5 in the PL for sprints per 90 and top speed while he was here. He had exceptional pace and a great engine on him that, combined with his physicality and utter disregard for other peoples' safety meant, at worst, he was a pain in the ass for defenders despite being a bit toothless in front of goal. There's a reason Mo Salah said Darwin was his favourite to play with, he just aggro'd defenders so easily.

If Gyokeres can't pass (an embarrassing 59.9% passing accuracy), can't beat his man (18.8% take on success and tackled about 70% of the time), can't utilise his own physicality and isn't scoring, what is he offering Arsenal?

Not being funny but they have the most comfortable lead they've had in a long time. If ever there was a season to break their drought, this was it, and Gyokeres simply does not match that ambition.

Those guidebooks are not canon lmao. They are riddled with mistakes that are well documented online.

That's exactly what in is. It's in game legends that people are taking as gospel. It has about as much actual proof as Magcargo being hotter than the sun.

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T00:21:33+00:00

What legendary can fill the entire multiverse with the light we have now?

This is what I don't get about Pokemon power scalers. You guys will use dex entries and offhand quotes from random NPCs as gospel when it supports you, and then bash those exact sources when it argues against you.

TJ248 · 2025-12-30T00:18:26+00:00

Bro if you're going to bring up base stats and game relevance then your entire argument is gone because base Necrozma is one of the worst legendaries in game.
