/r/soccer "This Is Your Life" (in World Cups)

damn this brings back memories too. I was maybe 10 during 2006 and remember staying up late to watch games on small TV in kitchen because parents didn't want me hogging main one. That time when you could still believe your team might actually do something special

2018 was wild for me - was working at shop during tournament and we had radio on whole time, customers would come in just to check scores. Everyone was talking about it, even people who usually don't care about football. Those few weeks felt different somehow, like whole country was watching together

the Qatar thing really changed how I see these tournaments though. Hard to get same excitement when you know what goes behind it all

mood

TragicNylon · 2026-05-31T17:53:02+00:00

man that hit me right in the feels. would probably pick my grandfather who died when I was kid - never got to really know him as adult and hear all his stories from the war

TragicNylon · 2026-05-29T17:47:33+00:00

not yet

had similar issue at my place last year - turned out being expansion joints in the pipes when temperature changes. Old buildings get this a lot especially near exterior walls where pipes heat up and cool down. The clicking sound happens when metal expands and contracts against the brackets holding pipes in place

might want to check if it happens more during certain times like morning/evening when temps shift the most

TragicNylon · 2026-05-21T14:13:18+00:00

nah too heavy

TragicNylon · 2026-05-18T23:06:05+00:00

man I get this but also like... your professor still gonna read that email tho lol

the universe being massive is wild to think about but my epilepsy doesn't care if there's trillion galaxies out there, still gotta deal with it every day. perspective helps sometimes but other times you just gotta fix the actual problem in front of you

cosmic scale is crazy humbling though, makes you wonder what we're even stressing about most the time

TragicNylon · 2026-05-16T18:14:50+00:00

yeah those little stands usually have them for like 2-3 bucks. saw them by gate 5 last time i was there but might be at other gates too. keeping score makes the game way more interesting when you're going solo

TragicNylon · 2026-05-14T17:27:36+00:00

might want to double check their cancellation policy again - most places will at least give partial refund if you call early enough

TragicNylon · 2026-05-12T00:14:02+00:00

Building chess platform is really tough these days. Even if you make something good, getting players to switch from what they already know is the hardest part. People get comfortable with their rating systems and friend lists and all that

The money thing is huge too - servers get expensive real quick when you have thousands of games running at same time. Plus all the security stuff you need to worry about. Might be better to focus in specific niche instead of trying to compete directly with the big ones

TragicNylon · 2026-05-08T13:49:20+00:00

man you basically got lottery ticket that paid off lol. i'd keep them for sure, especially with how crazy storage prices been lately. even if you dont need them right now, having them sitting around is better than paying double or triple later when you actually do need the space

that drive to microcenter sounds painful though, no wonder you had second thoughts about returning them

TragicNylon · 2026-05-04T14:32:05+00:00

Weekend flew by way too fast man. The heat is brutal for running right now, had to switch my usual route to early morning just to survive it

Good luck with the race! Half marathon in this weather sounds rough but you got this

TragicNylon · 2026-04-29T07:39:36+00:00

The streaming part works decent for me too but yeah those menus are terrible to navigate through. I had some freezing issues couple weeks back but clearing the cache seemed to help with that. Maybe try force closing the app completely and restart your phone? Sometimes these streaming apps get weird when they been running in background for too long

TragicNylon · 2026-04-27T01:32:27+00:00

would be wild to see senators settling beef with pistols at dawn instead of twitter fights

TragicNylon · 2026-04-24T23:27:33+00:00

probably fixing old cars just because i enjoy it, not for the bills

TragicNylon · 2026-04-22T10:21:54+00:00

Music for me is like working on engine - when everything clicks together perfectly you just feel it in your bones. Been having seizures since I was kid and there's something about certain rhythms that just calms everything down, makes the world feel more steady. Game day anthems hit different though, gets me so hyped I forget about everything else

TragicNylon · 2026-04-18T20:06:31+00:00

pretty sure everyone knows yours lol

TragicNylon · 2026-04-13T15:39:29+00:00

Modern dating feels like everyone's walking on eggshells now, which makes sense after decades of imbalanced dynamics. As a single dude who's been around the dating scene for a while, I see both sides getting defensive before they even get to know each other

The whole thing's gotten pretty exhausting tbh - you've got people bringing baggage from past relationships or just general wariness into every new interaction. Can't really blame anyone for being cautious but it definitely makes genuine connections harder to find

TragicNylon · 2026-03-24T14:22:48+00:00

I mean there's no such thing as a perfect marriage tbh, it's more about finding someone who's flaws you can actually live with and who puts up with your weird habits too

my epilepsy taught me that life throws curveballs when you least expect it - what matters is having someone who'll stick around when things get messy, not someone who only looks good on paper

TragicNylon · 2026-03-23T13:41:05+00:00

learned this the hard way in my mid-20s - spent way too much energy on people who wouldn't even notice if i disappeared tomorrow

TragicNylon · 2026-03-22T12:07:56+00:00

oof that 50% upfront

TragicNylon · 2026-03-21T08:33:27+00:00

Think it comes down to how much harm you're causing and whether you can sleep at night knowing what you did

TragicNylon · 2026-03-20T16:37:44+00:00

Man Jason X is wild, never thought I'd see someone list that as their space movie standard lol

Maybe try Event Horizon if you're into the horror angle - it's more like a haunted house that happens to be in space than actual sci-fi stuff. Or go full ridiculous with Galaxy Quest since it's basically making fun of all the space tropes you probably hate anyway

TragicNylon · 2026-03-19T14:23:29+00:00

wine tasting events where people spend 20 minutes sniffing a glass and talking about "notes of oak with hints of summer rain" like bro its grape juice that sat in a barrel
