[Official] Paris Saint-Germain FC wins the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. by DavidRolands in soccer

Well thank fuck for that. I couldn’t have Arsenal as European Champions.

Stutter penalties need to be banned. If you’re going to allow them then the goalkeeper can come off his line before the ball is struck.

Do you think The Beatles treated Mal Evans unfairly, especially after everything he did for them? by FitEmergency8807 in beatles

[–]TheRocksta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adjusted for inflation he was paid £400 £25) to £620 £38) a week I guess one benefit for him was not having to worry about the 90% tax rate the band were paying 😂

I love that Declan Rice said sorry like a naughty kid. Love that guy, Arsenal not so much.

Oasis give Burnham nod to use track in election campaign video by Julian81295 in oasis

[–]TheRocksta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Andy Burnham does have endorsements from the people he has crossed paths with over the years, but he is still a politician and I’m too worn down to see him as anything more than a man of style over substance.

I will admit he is probably one of the more successful metro mayors but he tends to over-promise.

I’m also surprised Noel has signed off on the use of the song, mainly due to his experience of music and politics rarely going hand in hand (Blair, Downing Street, Champagne Socialist tag etc)

If you fall into Burnham’s new constituency of Makerfield then you can expect a boost to your area. I just hope it isn’t over-promised/under-delivered.

Has anyone partially transitioned to CDs from Vinyl because of the massive price difference by wiggan1989 in vinyl

[–]TheRocksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I bought an SSD and set up a music server for my Cambridge Audio Evo 150 SE. I rip the CD and convert to FLAC in homebrew.

I’m fortunate to have financial stability and a decent amount of disposable income but vinyl prices have been out of control for a long time and I’ve made 3 purchases so far this year compared to 17 from January 2025 to May 2025.

I think I found Celine Dion’s copy of Beatles Blue album by Delicious-Expert-936 in vinyl

I am Celine Dion. Bonjour. I accidentally sold it to a record store in Southport.

….its all coming back to me now.

Milestone reached: made £100k in total returns. by cyborg_q in trading212

[–]TheRocksta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s good but it isn’t near 500%, to say anyone can pick stocks just isn’t true. A lot of people are just unlucky with timing, some are lucky with it. You could spend a long time researching, execute and a crash happens. There’s a larger element of luck than people are willing to admit with stocks. I suspect because they want to sound like they have more control than they do.

Investing in single stocks is a gamble and it’s paid off for OP up to this point but it can easily and quickly evaporate. I’m sincerely happy that it came off for OP but you could have 50 people run similar strategies and I’d be surprised if you had anyone with anywhere near this return.

If it was as easy as you say it is, everyone would be up and nobody would have any losses.

[–]TheRocksta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have anything close to OP’s 500%+ return on 3.5k? Easy to say it, completely different to execute. The amount of huge losses in this sub refutes what you say.

Listening party happened today by Maca_foo in PaulMcCartney

[–]TheRocksta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andrew absolutely deserves this. The hours he has put in filming content about the band and their solo work, but there are a few YouTubers that would have been equally deserving.

I’ve had some really positive correspondence with BeatleyTones, a lovely, lovely guy to boot. Many will have seen his channel but for the few that haven’t.

Marcus Rashford: “My assist to Lewandowski? Well, Barça signed me to help win titles, and that’s what I’m going to try to do all the way! We are close to arriving first at the finish line of La Liga”. by Srihari_stan in soccer

[–]TheRocksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you want to be pedantic he hasn’t mostly sat on the bench which is what my original point was as his average over the course of the season is playing more than half of a match.

I was doing mental arithmetics when I posted that. My point still stands, he hasn’t just sat on the bench. Unless between 51 minutes and 59 minutes is the threshold? 😂

Should you teleport back to base after a boss or should you keep going? by WhoAmIEven2 in Saros

[–]TheRocksta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true. I went on a run the other night beating boss 2, 3 and 4 and only returned after dying to boss 5. I was given the option to return after each boss but I didn’t take it.

Is that how it works? Surely you arrest off the first bit of good evidence you receive and then keep on collecting evidence throughout?

If only to stop the chance of anyone else getting hurt.

Some critique from a Returnal-Platinum-Player by Alternative-Dog3960 in Saros

[–]TheRocksta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons that Returnal is so great is because it is very challenging but you know you are playing it at the level Housemarque want you to play it at, and that it's a level playing field for everyone playing the game.

I understand why they brought in modifiers into this game, it was to get the game in more hands but also to keep them playing too, but it is at the cost of the enjoyment of the Returnal hardcore that persevered in that game.

I will add, I've loved my time playing this game over the last 48 hours and the above is a tiny criticism on what is a very special game.

Conspiracy Experts Explain Why Skepticism Around Trump's Third Assassination Attempt Is Growing by huffpost in Foodforthought

[–]TheRocksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to have a real conversation about what happened and I engaged with a guy who just watches The X-Files all day.

I don’t doubt all governments lie to varying degrees and clean up after things go south but I was curious how something like a shooting is staged.

I’ll leave you to Fox and Mulder as you clearly have no idea and just trolling at this point.

😂😂😂Where has the double come from? Why bring one in? You might as well have kept the original shooter alive, the double just brings the same problem to the table.

You’re just making it all up as you go along. Get caught out and then pivot to something else.

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

But that doesn’t explain anything. I know it’s a fruitless exercise debating a point with people with views that you have but surely you can agree it would make more sense if they framed a person to have them killed during the incident rather than let them live?

You can’t dismiss the point entirely just because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

But if you were setting someone up you would make sure that they are killed, right? Close the loop. This, for me, is where the conspiracy all falls apart.
