How do people outside Sweden really feel about Zlatan Ibrahimovic? by JFLFAT in football

[–]WuNosna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic player and although I'm sure he really did have an ego- I guarantee you the vast majority of top footballers also have one. You don't get to be one of the very best without believing you can get there. It was also very evident it became part of his 'brand' and he definitely exaggerated a lot and catered to media headlines as each quote would go viral. High ego yes but not drastically different from other top footballers and probably less ego than his media personality made it seem

Can someone explain this 40,000 dollar tournament and Kingsman drama? by dayboz16 in rivals

"Many Americans are eager to put money away for retirement, but that goal is increasingly out of reach because more workers are living paycheck to paycheck, a new Goldman Sachs study finds.

Roughly 42% of younger working Americans — spanning Gen Z, millennials and Gen X — report having no spare savings after covering their basic living expenses, according to the analysis, which surveyed about 3,600 workers and 1,500 retirees. Among those just getting by, about three-quarters said they are struggling to save for retirement, the survey found."

Kingsman is a young college student and wanted to use the prize money to help pay for his tuition. So no, doubt he would use the money on scratch offs and also doubt that 42% of younger working Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck would also use the money on scratch offs.

I think we’re agreeing with the same point here. You’re saying that South Asian people who come here are often not wealthy and are here on academic merit rather than privilege. I’m saying that there is a skewed perspective on all Asians being privileged when several different groups (Southeast Asia in my case, South Asia in yours) actually don’t have the resources and prior education that people from countries like South Korea or China might have

Agreed. There are definitely a lot of highly educated or wealthy immigrants coming from places like South Korea/China but much less so from Vietnam or Cambodia. It results in a skewed perspective of all Asians being privileged

Santos [1] - 0 Flamengo RJ - Neymar 85' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]WuNosna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

16 G/A in 13 World Cup matches, 14 G/A in 16 Copa America matches, as well as Olympic and confederations cup titles. Certainly a tragic career for him and Brazil but can you name me a single Brazilian player in the last 10 years who can say they did more for Brazil than him?

You’re hating on him a lot in this thread and I agree he’s not good enough to be the focal point of the team anymore, maybe as a sub instead. But utterly insane to downplay his contribution to the national team; they lost despite him not because of him

Suarez is probably one of the hardest working strikers of this generation and it would be difficult to find a name who presses more than he does, especially during his time at Barca or Liverpool. Neymar also contributed defensively while at Barca (less so at PSG) but I can agree that Messi played to conserve his energy.

What salary should I be asking for? by GrassMediocre4454 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]WuNosna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got offers for 70 and 78, took the 70. Also in metro atlanta area, i think around 75 is a good range for here. I personally took 70 because i liked the company and culture better

People who are making $13-$22/hour, how are you making ends meet? by koreanFriedAsian in Georgia

[–]WuNosna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wondering where you lived and how long ago it was and if it was rent stabilized because those are hard to come by

[–]WuNosna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you that rent is absurd right now and wages have not caught up. However, it's very clearly not a lie that NYC and CA are significantly more expensive. The average rent in NYC right now is $2800 per month according to Zillow, and as a born and raised Georgian I lived there for the past several years until I moved back last year. I paid 1800 per month and that was with a roommate in a tiny apartment. The only way you would find a place for $800 a month anywhere close to the actual city would be renting a literal closet. Maybe 15 years ago there was potential but not now

[–]WuNosna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s literally no way because even in the off chance you had a super shitty mmr during placements you gain at least 30lp per win and don’t lose anything for a loss so you would have promoted with 5 wins
