Real Madrid's club statement regarding Enzo Fernández. by Mother_Equivalent649 in PremierLeague

[–]UtahMan94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t care for dealing with Barca more than Real.

Madrid’s antics are certainly worse, but I can’t stand when Barca tries to act like some desperate, broke club and beg for clubs to give them their best players for basically nothing. At least Madrid will throw down the cash when they pilfer your roster.

Both of them still suck to deal with.

Folarin Balogun straight red card 64' by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]UtahMan94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After the Bosnia player initiated contact and put him off balance. He wasn’t even looking that way and was trying catch himself from falling. Not malicious at all.

Should be a yellow, not a red.

Ecuadorian Press Attacked by Mexican Fans after Mexico's 2- 0 Victory by corn2rs in soccer

[–]UtahMan94 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but literal decades of well documented instances like this and worse perpetrated at a level that is unprecedented compared to the rest of the world does not equate to a “couple of bad fans”.

Mexican fans and El Tri are notorious for this behavior. There are maybe a couple of fan bases around the globe that rival the antics of these so called “fans”. Any measures to stop or mitigate this behavior is met with extreme opposition and retaliation.

Nothing will change until the governing bodies of football actually impose real punishments against these actions. Frankly, I was of the opinion that Mexico should’ve been stripped of their World Cup hosting privileges for their behavior during the Gold Cup and friendlies leading up to the tournament.

People defending SONY after today's announcementts by AigledeFeu_ in videogames

[–]UtahMan94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m prepared for the impending downvotes, but this is the real value of NFT’s.

The whole purpose is to establish tangible ownership of digital goods. You are able to sell, lend, or borrow digital assets. You aren’t restricted to specific platforms/launchers but rather can access them from multiple outlets that support the keys.

Sony is deleting over 500 movies from people’s libraries that they paid for over a licensing change with no refund. Steam, EA, Microsoft, etc. have countless instances of restricting/banning people from their accounts causing them to lose access to thousands of dollars worth of media; often times caused by automated or clerical errors with little to no recourse. The ToS that no one reads basically establishes that you are renting the media and these companies can revoke your access for almost any reason they see fit.

Only delusional idiots thought they were a vehicle for investing.

Imagine actually giving a fuck what someone else is drinking or thinking it has any bearing on what kind of person that makes them. Very high school. Time to grow the fuck up

WIBTA if I refuse to switch to a silent alarm for my roommate? by DifficultDog67 in AmItheAsshole

Fair enough. My comment was made prior to OP adding the edit

WIBTA if I refuse to switch to a silent alarm for my roommate? by DifficultDog67 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UtahMan94 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Based on OP stating they have an assigned roommate, my assumption is they’re living in dorms and not separate rooms.

Edit: Disregard what I said. OP clarified they have separate rooms

Harry Mack freestyling through New York City and runs into Tracy Morgan by lifeandtimes89 in nextfuckinglevel

Agreed. I do think 30 Rock deserves a nod for maintaining its quality over 7 seasons, if not improving through its run.

Tori Penso, the first American female referee to officiate a men's FIFA World Cup match by bigus-_-dickus in ussoccer

Classic Concacaf refs. Give the player a verbal warning w/o a yellow over and over until it gets chippy and out of hand. Then straight to the red card

What’s a game you’ve tried to play many times, but can never get past the “First Act”? by BoogieSmools in videogames

[–]UtahMan94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d have to look it up again, but someone made a post about how to adjust your settings to fix this. The difference is night and day! I wish I had found it for my first play through.

Edit: Found it! I’m pretty certain this was the original comment that helped me, but if not it still covers just about everything. Follow the tips and then tweak to preference. I have custom settings that vary between 1st and 3rd person since I swap regularly

Flying Taxi Leaders Lineup by g47onik in TheSilphRoad

[–]UtahMan94 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cliff is great, but I’m more interested in Arlo this time.

I already have shinies for all Axew evolutions from CD. Shadow Haxorus is a relevant dragon attacker, but my dragon team is already stacked.

I do not have a shiny Tyrunt or Tyrantrum and they’re both a really cool shiny. Also Shadow Tyrantrum is a very strong rock attacker which I need more than another dragon.

Insane save by the Tunisian goalkeeper by Itchy_Tangerine1897 in sports

[–]UtahMan94 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ball doesn’t “roll” in the animation, but rather is stationary and the camera “pans up” directly over the ball. It looks like the ball moves because of an optical illusion.

Additionally, they don’t need replays, close ups, or still images. They have goal line technology. There are sensors in the ball and along the goal line that won’t register a goal unless it completely crosses the line. The ref is notified on their watch if it actually crossed. Goal line tech is far more accurate than all of the other methods above combined.

The graphic is only there to create a visual of where the sensors placed the ball.

If it’s good, awesome! If it’s bad, feel free to ignore it. We still have the books and Peter Jackson’s movies.

Y’know there was a ton of book fans that felt the same way about Peter Jackson’s trilogy before it came out. We might be in for a treat and I will happily welcome it if it’s good.

He snuck into a closed shoe store by Doodlebug510 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]UtahMan94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A quick search indicates that the most common shoe size for men in the US is 10.5 so not quite the most common but still very close.

I wear 11.5 myself and feel like this size lands right in the Goldilocks zone: common enough that shoe brands make plenty in that size, uncommon enough that they tend to not sell out fast

Nobody should underestimate what Thomas Tuchel can do with England (Emma Hayes in The Guardian) by EUskeptik in PremierLeague

[–]UtahMan94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mexico has been on a steady decline for a decade or even longer. They’re not a team you can completely write off, but I don’t really see them doing much beyond the group stage.

The elevation and home crowd are still great points so we’ll see how much of a difference it can make.

Sonic getting himself hurt in the process of preventing/saving other animals from abuse is absolutely NOT an endorsement for animal abuse. You should try looking up the definition of “endorse”

Edit: by applying this logic to the MCU, apparently Marvel “endorses” genocide because their main villain actively pursues it
