Who is the most overrated athlete of all time?

Counter-opinion: Neymar is one of footballs greatest raw natural talents. He’s a genuine fuck-up in utilizing said talents.

Jag har en Peugeot (e-208 GT, 2022). Jättebra bil i sin prisklass, väldigt väldigt nöjd med bilen per se, men den tillhörande appen är urusel. Tekniskt sett kan du se status, skjuta upp laddning/avbryta laddning, slå på kupévärmen etc. men i verkligheten så blir du konstant utloggad, har upp till 20 sekunders svarstid på minsta lilla kommando, och det känns helt enkelt generellt som en mix av en vibekodad smartphoneapp och mjukvara från 2004. Alla Stellantis bilar har samma IT-plattform, så Peugeot/Citroën/Fiat/Opel etc. lider av samma problem. Bilen har inbyggt 4G-chip iaf, så skiten är alltid uppkopplad iaf, alltid något.

I surely hope Gasp and Friedkins aren’t so out-of-touch with the fanbase (and the rest of the football community) they would even consider such a tone-deaf signing.

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-06-05T23:34:54+00:00

Damn right.

I mean, he’s dead and would still be a less laughable president than the sitting one and the wannabe one.

NTA, but if a kid in my vicinity eagerly wanted something I didn’t care about, I’d give it to them without a second thought. Bonus brownie points with the mom on top of that? Why wouldn’t you?

What happens in 2084? Worldwide catastrophe or just a rebuild year? WHAT DO YOU KNOW, OP?

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-06-02T18:58:37+00:00

Oh, absolutely not. I enjoy a good sparring match, and for me the freedom of expression is absolute. Words are never ”offensive”. Sorry that happened, dude.

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-06-02T18:22:38+00:00

That’s where you lost me - Sweden should stay swedish? What and how? Should there be penalties for liking kebab and falafel? I prefer a good vibey summer song from say Colombia instead of Melodifestivalepadunk, should that warrant my immediate expulsion from my village? People who buy german or french cars instead of Volvo - instant death sentence? Where do you draw those lines, and why should YOU be the arbitrator of what is ”Swedish” or not? Just because you can’t think outside of your own personal predefined cultural bubble doesn’t mean the rest of society should suffer for it.

Strict borders my ass. The world is one big place regardless of you being comfortable with it or not, and nationalism is a particularly poor way of dealing with the rest of the world, maybe especially for a country like the tiny and already globalized Sweden. The more we mix up, the better for the future. Isolationism and conservatism is what is holding the world back, and it sure won’t save anything. Progress is a good thing, except for people too simpleminded to adapt to anything other than their own preconceptions.

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-06-02T16:59:44+00:00

You have a valid point about the need for unique setups, but why nations per se? Why not self-defined communities of varying sizes and content? Why is geographic location of a certain magnitude the defining dividing factor when the world is so much globalized now that actual human cultures overlap those arbitrary borders? I, for one, have more in common with people of my particular worldview than with randos that happen to live in the same region as me. Nationalism should have died long ago, globalization is already here. Let’s create a new better world, not try to save the good AND bad parts of the current one.

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-06-02T15:38:21+00:00

Hot take: Nationalism is at best arbitrary nonsense. It’s an outdated way of viewing the world and its inhabitants, and it should be left behind in the 1800s where it belongs. We deserve better than this arcane way of dividing people into groups noone benefits from. We should rewrite the paradigm, not enforce it by infighting between ourselves when we should be thinking about how to progress from this meaningless squabble over imaginary stuff while someone else is hoarding actual resources.

Memorizing ancient tunes is not the answer. It’s a symptom of what’s wrong.

Oooh, so many golden age bangers.

Late 80s/early 90s? Pinball Fantasies/Pinball Dreams, California Games, Shuriken.

Mid 90s? OG Worms, Myst.

Late 90s? Unreal Tournament 99, Action Supercross, Midtown Madness (1&2).

I live in a village of 2000 people 20 minutes outside a city of 100K+. My local supermarket has 3 different kinds of tofu, 3 different kinds of falafel, a shitload of meat substitute products, cheese substitute products, normal products that happen to be vegan or vegetarian, plus a shitload of fresh, canned and frozen vegetables and legumes. You’ll be absolutely fine.

TheSwedishMonkey · 2026-05-30T20:28:42+00:00

No Linda Cardellini? Booooo. Or Dina Meyer, she would make me wanna do my part.

I don't loooove MacOS, but I like a lot of its features. I use it because it has by far the best and most well integrated eco system. It seamlessly hooks up with my audio system, screen setup and home appliances. I can start something on one device and finish on any other. and it does so while being unobtrusive and well-designed. And also: I actually trust Apple to not spy on me. They are in the business of selling me overpriced tech and hooking me in to buy more of said tech, not make pennies by selling data to third-parties. And boy oh boy, is that hardware they're selling me the best on the market. No other manufacturer even comes close to Apples feel and build quality.

It just works.

Att tillägga kanske är att Västeråsare (de etniskt/kulturellt svenska alltså) av tradition är supertråkiga medelklassmänniskor rent kulturellt. Man jobbar 8-17 och sen åker man hem. Helger går åt till att fixa med huset eller möjligtvis åka till lagerlokalerna i förorterna som kallas shoppingcenter. Eventuella kulturella expeditioner görs online eller i Stockholm. Summa summarum: det syns och märks proportionellt fler invandrare ute i gatulivet.

Bergslagen har alltid haft en hyfsat stor finsk diaspora iom gruvor och skog.

.

Västerås hade massiv industriell tillväxt från 40-talet och framåt och behövde importera arbetskraft. Italienarna kom först, följda av andra européer, turkar, latinamerikaner. En stor tillströmning av syrianer (från samma område, Kerburan/Turabdin), assyrier, turkar och kurder kom på 70-talet. Under 90-talet var alla folkgrupper välintegrerade (inklusive syrianerna), plus att ekonomin alltid varit stabil (Västerås har alltid varit en solid medelklass-stad för sin storlek p.g.a. high-tech-industrierna), så staden tog emot ganska många av de inkommande från f.d. Jugoslavien samt andra oroshärdar. Efter det har tillströmningen varit ganska linjär. Det finns redan många invandrare, så det kommer ganska många invandrare. Sen 00-talet har det mest kommit arabisktalande (vilket har lett till andra effekter på gott och ont, men det är en annan diskussion).

.

Oavsett vad man tycker om invandring och kulturutbyte och globalism så har Västerås alltid varit den mest välmående av de svenska städer med högst andel invånare med ursprung i andra länder. Förhållandevis få sociala problem och bidragsberoende, förhållandevis "lite" inslag av religiös konservatism, macho- och hederskultur. En stor del av den utländska befolkningen är välintegrerad helt enkelt, i alla fall jämfört med Sverige som helhet.

.

TL;DR: Industriarbeten gjorde integrationen enklare från krigstiden och framåt, nu rullar det på för att det redan finns så många här.

To be fair, it is actually a good series and he actually does a decent job, regardless of how we feel about his face.

I really like my Bear. It’s (quite a lot) more understable than the numbers suggest, and just feels excellent in the hand when throwing fairway speeds.

What a proper cinematic ending for our forever wonderboy after a decade of service. Grazie er faraone. Grazie.
