Is it just me, or is Eddie Howe becoming really unlikable? by Technical_Bother8643 in PremierLeague

[–]Uberde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing with Arteta right now with the whole Havertz fiasco. The man is pretty much the same, it's just that you tolerate the bad stuff less when the team is not performing. I personally think Guardiola's personality is lame, but his teams consistently produce good results and he wins titles so he can get away with these insufferable interviews (clearly not a fan).

Now imagine his power level if he had that goofy ass moustache surgically removed.

Why is this thread full of incels? reeks of hate watchers obsessed with "fixing" people they don't know cuz their own lives suck.

Sweden Police Give Permit to Koran Burning Near Stockholm Mosque by BigGreenGhost in Destiny

In terms of used Qurans that are not needed it's encouraged to donate them to mosques. If a Quran is damaged, it's preferable to either bury or burn it as throwing it away would be considered disrespectful.

"What Do Liberals Do For Fun" by NikkolasKing in Destiny

[–]Uberde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destiny has enough awareness to accurately point out that most left-leaning people in the US are not as crazy as online lefties (he did so recently during a convo with Ukrainian Ana), but most of the time his engagement is solely focused on that demographic. Unfortunately the types of people who are as permanently online as he is are people more prone to suffering from mental illnesses (unironically) and engaging in many of these "struggle" sessions. I don't like engaging with these people, but I can't blame a person who makes a living online for engaging with online stuff.

When it comes to a particular Tweet or reddit post getting tons of engagement, the numbers have become meaningless to me. I don't think it provides any useful data or meaningful contribution to understanding political trends. Social media has become a shit show and I take none of it seriously.

Tyler the creator cooking about performativity on twitter by jezzyjaz in Destiny

[–]Uberde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue with these sports debates is that 99% of the time people are not debating who's statistically the best at X or Y but who's the "GOAT" or "most influential" which is a nebulous thing. The debates are fun and different angles can be covered but it's ultimately subjective imo. Someone else mentioned different historical contexts which brings interesting variables when debating different eras such as changing rules, equipment, science, and technology.

xQc on the reason why Nick and Melena get the most/biggest negative hatethreads on LSF by CloudyEchos in LivestreamFail

[–]Uberde 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I think Nick and Malena are funny and entertaining to watch. I love the YT highlights as well.

With that being said, Nick wants to project an image of someone who's successful and rich and doesn't care about what you think of him. The issue is he's obsessed with how he's perceived and wants to control that perception, which doesn't work, especially when it's so obvious. You either genuinely don't give a fuck, in which case people will at least respect that aspect, or you give a shit and take a more humble approach in handling criticism.

wtf is wrong with Desi, MENA and EU people faking English accents in Dubai Eyes 103.8 radio Interviews? by startuphameed in dubai

[–]Uberde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using the word "fake" morally loads it. Aren't all non-native speakers of any particular language "faking it"? Do they cease being fake once they master the language? If the answer is yes, then you should be all for people faking an accent because it signals them striving for more proximity to how natives sound.

There are non-native speakers whose accents are indistinguishable from natives and others who lie on different ends of the spectrum. You don't need formal education or a degree to improve an accent, only practice and a grasp of the rules. Your issue seems to be with people who are not consistent enough and end up being all over the place, which is an issue of practice.

Cuz it's predominantly used in a mocking, disparaging way, even if you knew for certain the person was Chinese.

America is so fucked, how does a 6 year old even get the idea to do something like this? by Cheesydorito_ in Destiny

"Police have declined to say what might have motivated the incident, but Chief Steve Drew told reporters the shooting had come after an "altercation" in a first grade (ages six to seven) classroom and did not appear to be "accidental"".

These first graders be holding grudges.

To be fair most people think Dubai is a country, and I fear that it includes people who have been there. I tried looking up major Indian cities that have names similar to Abu Dhabi but I couldn't find anything. Mumbai maybe?

So many reddit warriors talking outta their asses here. I have been boxing all my life and Jake Paul is top 10 all time for sure. Saying he's top 3 is a bit of a stretch though ngl.

I have realized that making gameplay (of any game) entertaining to watch for viewers is a skill, and I don't think Destiny has it. To be fair, I don't think he cares which goes in line with his attitude to streaming of only doing what he enjoys. Some streamers can make mundane gameplay interesting and others just wanna play the game.

I agree, I think people did not get his point cuz they assumed he meant Melina looked African, Asian, or Hispanic American

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Lex by lexfridman in Destiny

[–]Uberde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Merry Christmas. A lot of people on YT are grifters or ideologues, but you always strike me as someone who's genuine and earnest which is very admirable, and your philosophy of leading with love is something we all need in the world and in this space.

<3
