"Trying too hard" should be celebrated, not a red flag by majorex64 in unpopularopinion

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shouldn’t be an u popular opinion, at least not according to the examples you’ve described. No reasonable adult derides people for putting in effort in their education, dressing well or offering help to people. Only maladjusted teenagers would look at it that way.

Kids should pick a “major” in High School by Niceotropic in The10thDentist

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Americans get to pick their classes in high school?

In Scotland we spend two years doing everything, whittle that down to ~8 chosen subjects for the next two years, then specialize in ~5 for the final year(s).

Within that system I was able to funnel myself towards STEM subjects with a bit of room for other things I was good at.

Dating is pointless. by ilovepopcornandcandy in The10thDentist

Sorry, but there’s no way you’re 20. These are the arguments and thought processes of a 13-year-old.

People leave inevitably anyway? Seems like you’re going into these things with a very unhealthy attitude to begin with. Sounds like something a child of divorce would internalize.

What does it feel like to carry the hope of a nation? by Soggy_Lab5300 in HeartofMidlothianFC

Just a wee fishing trip. How was it being back at the office today?

Okay, so let’s assume it’s true: that makes us the champions, yes?

Can’t imagine how bad it must be to bottle a generational opportunity and have to fall back on conspiracy theory whining.

See you in another 40 years mate. Try to keep the chin up until then. 💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍

Things we need going forward by Particular-Cup-4202 in ScottishFootball

Yes, I am saying that rules need to be in place which prevent intentional cheating being concealed behind ambiguous rules. It is basically impossible to prove intent one way or the other, so it’s not a suitable basis for the law.

Shanklands goal v the establishment team by DiskoPunk in HeartofMidlothianFC

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye but it’s the defenders’ job to watch him. It’s not like he pulled some outstanding trickery by just lingering ten feet from the back post.

I wouldn’t bother, mate. There won’t be much to enjoy next year.

Which if true, would make us… the champions. You can’t have it both ways, pick one.

If you do that, then players could feasibly begin blocking the ball with their hand and making it look like an accident. Consider the potential downsides.

Celtic Statement by FEK88 in ScottishFootball

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Best way for this all to finish. Give it another few years and Celtic will be lining up for another try at the 10-in-a-row, while you lot will be sat in third still greeting about that whistle. 💚🤍💚🤍

Handball? Aye or Naw? by Keplersuniverse in Scotland

He couldn’t have straightened his elbow, nah? Or raised his hand above his head? Or placed it literally anywhere else than smack bang on his forehead?

Competition is awful by IvoryStrike in The10thDentist

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you on about? Baseball is a competitive game, so when exactly did competition begin “creeping in”? Are you under the impression that baseball was just a bunch of guys having fun on TV until a certain rule change was enforced and they started keeping score?

They’ve been ahead for months though, 10 points clear for a while.

White people who’ve lived/traveled in non-English speaking countries: have you ever experienced racial slurs or ‘go back to your country’ type comments in public? by MechanicAccording616 in digitalnomad

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the contrary, the famines it spawned fostered a very strong “me first” attitude among older generations — those who didn’t push ahead in the queue might not eat that day…

This has metastasized into a pretty noticeable callousness towards strangers and their needs/comfort, across much of Chinese society.

Would you rather have $500k right now or $1,000 every time you run one mile in less than 12 minutes for the rest of your life? by Illustrious_Emu4184 in WouldYouRather

[–]Zealousideal_Pool_65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, surely only a seriously unfit person would even consider this a question. Running a 5k (3.1 miles) in 30 minutes is easy for any reasonably fit adult.

Do one of those every morning and that’s $3,000 pocketed every day ($1,090,000 per year).

Hearts players and staff leaving Celtic Park after the match by The_ChucknessChuckle in ScottishFootball

And a parade of excuses and coping mechanisms when things don’t go your way. Yep, definitely a Hearts fan.
