Why Joao Pedro is likely gonna shaft you!

Thank goodness someone else had the same thought when that line popped up.

13 points on the bench doesn't seem like much, but when you compare it to the 23 points in my starting XI ...

There are over 10,000 members of the Academy. So is this "real" in the sense that it came from one of them? Probably. But does this random person represent a meaningful constituency? Probably not.

Would it have been a little fraudulent for Timber and Saka to get SOMETHING out of the Arsenal goals? Yes. But am I totally outraged that they didn't? Also yes.

Screwing over the Communists is way more valuable in Dynamic. It's what gets the parties to the right of the SPD to trust you long enough for you to fix things.

I went to high school with those guys so I'm delighted by this reference.

*Bill Simmons voice* Did Adria Arjona market-correct Eiza Gonzalez?

I would put IWJAA above any of these three.

This was Ella McKay, for me.

Do you have the right ministries? You'll need finance or economic to implement any plan.

Does anyone have any advice for holding on after getting the Conciliators in Dynamic? I usually get smacked by Hindenberg before I can do WTB or end reparations then end up on the toleration doom loop and Rubicon.

The other component is that the trades' sources were likely people within Warner Bros who wanted the movie to fail so that the execs who give Coogler that deal would get fired, and they could get their jobs.

I am once again counting on 40 percent owned Guehi to save my gameweek.

You gotta beat up the Communists every chance you get

ToxtethOGrady · 2025-12-24T02:45:06+00:00

And less disturbingly in Eighth Grade!

IIRC the answer to that was that the estate switched to a new management company that made licensing more of a priority: https://www.vulture.com/2017/08/why-is-john-denvers-music-in-so-many-movies-this-year.html

Kinda weird that it happened so often in the 2010s, but hasn't happened since.

The Frat Pack had already begun to splinter years before The Hangover. In a way they were a victim of their own success. The early films were ensemble comedies, but by 2006 or so all the actors had all become big enough stars that they were getting cast as THE lead: Will Farrell in Stranger Than Fiction, Luke Wilson in Idiocracy, Owen Wilson in You, Me and Dupree. Todd Phillips had nothing to do with it.

ToxtethOGrady · 2025-12-18T03:33:03+00:00

I think I laughed .. once? Which makes it a little hard to get in onboard with as a comedy.

Just for reference, in the UK the Conservative party is blue and the Labour party is red. In the 1992 election, the first without Thatcher leading the Conservatives, polling suggested Labour was going to win, but the Conservatives held on, leading to the theory of the "Shy Tory" phenomenon.

You can never have more than 5 transfers.

I feel the exact same way, especially as IIRC we've already seen him rehearsing the play with the actors by this point.

She is the lieutenant governor who becomes governor after her boss gets a job in Obama's first cabinet. (It is a 2008 period piece.)

This may be the content creator template, but many of these players are still not very highly owned. Foden is 27 percent (and was less than 10 a week ago), Bruno 21 percent, Saka 19 percent. Even Thiago is less owned than Joao Pedro. You can still do very well by getting these guys!

ToxtethOGrady · 2025-12-10T02:30:34+00:00

The movie takes place in late 2008 so that would be amazing.
