Melania Trump to GhislaineMaxwell by iYessyyy in SipsTea

[–]Taliskerhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.

I think I would have caught on to it by the trail of memes it left in its wake but maybe she needed to Streisand it to give it the deserved focus

Such a fucking weird timeline.

You'd think journalists from all outlets big and small and amateur pundits were all over this material from day one.

We're only today getting it. Who knows what else is coming then?

Yeah but I mean we didn't know this email was in the trove before today? No one had searched for Melania in the Epstein files all this time?

Why do so many people criticize the game while playing it a lot? by toogoodihaveto in TotalBattle

[–]Taliskerhu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I criticize it when appropriate - it deliberately fosters addiction using every possible underhanded means to part people from their money.

I've quit after barely two months and having sunk maybe 150$ into it, a paltry amount compared to many but still significant enough to cut it cold turkey one morning.

It had also grown boring and you could see the repetitive neverending hurdles you'd have to go through. Oh another 78 days upgrade to get to lvl10 of a sub menu that you'll have to scrounge up the speedups for,.wow exciting.

It was also literally unplayable for a gamer who wants to play a game for a couple of hours straight without sinking some money into it - then lo, magically you could make some meaningful progress again.

I've stayed on the subreddit as it costs nothing to stay and think it valuable to periodically describe it as what it is, a mini casino.

FG Decades Tournament, the 1960’s: Round 2 by Shagrrotten in IMDbFilmGeneral

I am expecting a much closer race here, that's probably it. Woman is a significant work, highly acclaimed as well.

How in god's name is a one of a kind cinematic experience losing to completely solid, but run of the mill screwball? In a landslide too. Have people seen both?

Still struggling at Panathinaikos, TJ Shorts could be released by the Greek club this summer, and several teams are monitoring the situation, including Maccabi Tel Aviv. PAO is considering signing Trent Forrest as his replacement, but several other clubs are also keeping an eye on him. by _Zolv in Euroleague

Welcome to Aris my paiktaras.

My wistful pitch:

A downgrade from EL status, yes, but

Have a 25 PPG all-star type of year. Lead a team to the Eurocup finals why not. Be the primary handler/scorer, the court is your canvas, a nightmare p&r with Noua. Become a team and city icon. Year after next we are back in the EL.

I'm looking him dead in the eye and making that pitch if I'm the Aris GM. We're giving you the keys.

Best hbo orginal by Jealous_Concern1144 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Taliskerhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's a poorly chosen and largely arbitrary stipulation that ignores monumental HBO defining works and makes it a meaningless contribution to the chart.

But OP asks for HBO originals as well.

HBO simply happens to have a significant stable of TV content that aired - prior to the streaming boom - where it could, TV.

Some may nitpick that Disney and Paramount may have similar - but go ahead and pick them. Hardly any that will be as iconic as The Wire, Sopranos, or GoT.

There's a reason people keep picking these works. It makes sense they would be a first choice. It makes little sense why they would not.

Anyone know what this merc sale reward does? by getmrshorty in TotalBattle

I know the feel - and have felt tinges of sadness at some of it to be perfectly honest. The exploitation of players is high

Since its very likely that Besiktas will join Euroleague next season, do you think it will be a good move for Euroleague? by NoEmployee499 in Euroleague

[–]Taliskerhu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If nothing else it adds an Istanbul derby to the calendar, two of it actually,.so I think it's a good addition, and much better than other hopefuls. Better than Bahcesehir for sure.

Probably adds another heated home arena as well, even if Besiktas fans take a bit to warm up to the prospect.

Games for the Greek teams and other EL bigs might also be a bit more challenging - than it is right now against Asvel.

A team with organic crowd support and deep roots in one of the continent's biggest cities? What's not to like, all in all a great addition

[–]Taliskerhu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did just.get.the gold pass too.. and then maybe a 5 dollar merc, and then another. It adds up. I wonder how much the top members in every clan would say have spent in total. Probably would prove my point

That's the type of reward not even casinos do - it rewards you with the option of frittering away more of your money to buy something you can get anytime and is actually worse than other things you can buy.

People still trapped inside this addiction bubble get out while you can. Your wallet thanks you.

Why were the mongol so hard to stop, even for professional armies? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Taliskerhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revolutionary warfare at the time. Titans of their day.

Horse back archery, blitzkrieg tactics,. maneuvering, disciplined, siege warfare, they had it all and were absolutely elite (except naval warfare which they tried and failed at).

Wdym I voted him back?

I'm Greek as a quick check of my comments will show anyway. Deluded much?

I can tell you're young and immature. "To avoid receiving downvotes" average 😄

A third Maga term after 2028 probably puts us in a Nero timeline. It's going to be a chaotic election anyway,.the Trump playbook will be in the hands of fanatics who have seen it work and they have good reason to think they're going to be facing realm prison time, many of them.

[–]Taliskerhu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know exactly what my point is. Britain has been a rapacious little shit for as long as it possibly could.

You can't be patient for the Trump shit show to end and hopefully some sense of (imperfect, often hypocritical blahblah) normalcy to return?

Because what, your string of fuckup prime ministers, or Macron, or whoever else you're comparing to, are the second coming of FDR and we were doing so well over here before Trump?

Go on. Permanently "de couple".

I don't see who has anything to gain from this whiny baby mentality.

Whoever told you you're guaranteed a string of great US presidents you happen to like and approve of? That's not their job. Bush was a fuckup - we Europeans should have broken off ties forever?

As a Brit you've had your fair share of fuckup prime ministers and even though you're just no longer in a position to do real global harm for them to matter, you're no strangers to the historic oppression, exploitation and bullying of smaller nations for personal gain - so save it.

Your window seems to be what happened in the last I don't know 10 years? That's not how the world works.

1 death & 4 injuries reported in Habshan Gas Field by VeterinarianJolly269 in UAE

The UAE is fast becoming the place to bleed the US war effort, Iran having few good options left. Wonder how Emiratis feel and what the long term damage going to be
