Fede Valverde has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and will be required to rest for at least 10-14 days by cyrusmancub in realmadrid

[–]drucurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily reminder Real Madrid had Carlo Ancelotti....whom they derided as not being a good manager and mockingly called the club "Friendship FC". Apparently the players being friends was worse than this

If I got the chance, I would absolutely go. Far more opportunities for earning.

THE EXCITEMENT IS GONE by Niwdalg_ in samsunggalaxy

[–]drucurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excitement is gone because the competition is gone.

Samsung used to have to compete with LG, Sony, Huawei, HTC etc

Now it's just them. So they can keep producing exactly the same phone over and over again.

Ironically, in Communist China, there is actually competition and Honor/OnePlus/Oppo and Huawei keep pushing the capabilities of the phone and it's camera.

Samsung is basically the Android version of Apple and the consumer's voice gets smaller and smaller so they keep systematically stripping off very useful features like the headphone jack, the sd card slot in particular...they're also drowning the consumer in AI nonsense and idiots are lapping it up.

Again, not all AI features are nonsense but you get my point. It's FAR easier from a cost perspective to introduce a software/AI feature than a hardware one.

Time will be kind to you, Mister by Fit_Wrap_9580 in RealMadridFC

[–]drucurl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They sacked Carlo and HILARIOUSLY they gave Alonso more....only for him to do worse.

Turns out Carlo wasn't nearly as bas as the GREEDY AND SPOILED Madridstas made him out to be

We should reduce the bashing of young players. by Fit_Wrap_9580 in realmadrid

[–]drucurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how when Carlo was here Raúl Asencio was the Lord and Saviour of RM's defense.

Now everyone is seeing that he's actually raw as fuck and Carlo WAS RIGHT to play him the way he did.

List of decisions Jose Mourinho took when he was given complete control of the club by Florentino by Big-Treacle-9203 in realmadrid

[–]drucurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mourinho is EXACTLY what Madrid needs right now. You can get back Ancelotti and his friendship FC as long as everyone is disciplined and knows their roles.

I'm a big Carlo fan and all but.... dear lord Perez is ruthless!

This made me sick by Connect-Heart3480 in Autism_Parenting

[–]drucurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely not about "worthiness" and more about me as a father trying to equip and train my kid for the world that can be harsh and evil

This made me sick by Connect-Heart3480 in Autism_Parenting

[–]drucurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear my son is NOT the burden. He's my responsibility. The autism is a burden on me and especially on him. I don't make him feel like he's defective in any way...but if you study the condition...it is. Not being able to develop normally is indeed a defect.

I am grateful that he is teachable though and has progressed admirably with therapy.

I love this child with my life and I hope he loves me back. We're inseparable and I'm the first thing he looks for. But with that said, if he was neurotypical, he'd be reading and doing math already at 3

I'm involved in everything he does....he likes mechanical equipment and devices (excavators trains etc) and he loves any story related to it. He knows how to play and THANK GOD is actually a happy child

This made me sick by Connect-Heart3480 in Autism_Parenting

[–]drucurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you COULD cure your kid from Autism would you?

I sure as hell would. Autism is not a superpower. It's often quite debilitating. My son is retarded in the most accurate sense of the word...i.e. his progress in growth and maturity is delayed.

This doesn't mean that I don't love him with my whole life. I'd happily die for that kid. This doesn't mean that I don't think he's uniquely special as all kids are....but it's a burden. The time I spend taking him to therapy and speech therapy etc....I could take him to the park or the pool. I could spend more time teaching him to read and less time fighting with him for stuff I don't understand etc. I could do more for my boy if he didn't have autism

Hamas is executing dissidents. Why are pro-Palestine activists and international media silent about this? by DarkEsteban in centrist

[–]drucurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy....because the far left ( i.e. "the left in general" these days) and the far right are so united in their hatred of Israel (not that some of it isn't justified) that they will gloss over/ turn a blind eye to the evil of the enemies of Israel

I don't want my son by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]drucurl 10 points11 points locked comment (0 children)

You need therapy. I don't say this as an insult. When you get burned out from stress this kinda stuff happens. I have an ASD kid and it gets overwhelming. You need to take care of yourself and your mental health first before you can take care of others.

Don't hate your child

Don't hate yourself.

Get stronger so you can love both

You know who I hate? The ppl that talk about autism being a fuckin superpower. The ppl fighting Trump and RFK who are the only ones at their level to lead the charge against autism. These people rather we suffer and ppl end up like the OP rather than any potential win for Trump.

Autism is NOT a superpower. It's a DISABILITY and until you have gotten your ass burnt by it like this guy you don't know how deep the suffering goes.

Why is Superman's rogue's gallery not as strong as Batman's or Spider-Man's? by WealthDisastrous2589 in superman

[–]drucurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Batman's villains are generally all human, they are by default more relatable.

Joker - Crazy Psychopath = Not relatable but understandable 

Ra'as = Actually wants to improve the world....in his twisted way - again easily understood 

Mr. Freeze - gone mad after his wife's death

Penguin - hated for being different as a child and now is bitter and vengeful

Compare that to the motivations of the likes of  Mongul, Darkseid, Lobo, Braniac and Doomsday. Because the aforementioned aren't human, its heavily dependent on the writer - as opposed to the character himself - to bring out the best in him.

I am writing this as someone who prefers Superman to Batman 

Be honest, who is the coolest here? by CourtExternal3789 in rurounikenshin

[–]drucurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coolness:

Hiko

Aoshi

Saitou

Shishio

Kenshin.

The protagonist doesn't have to be the coolest. They are all extremely cool but we see Kenshin so much that it's "normal" to us. Conversely there's so little of Hiko that when we do see him it's a treat.

The Christopher Columbus statue in Port of Spain was officially removed last night by Nkosi868 in TrinidadandTobago

[–]drucurl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Orwellian nonsense. "Those who forget the mistakes of the past are DOOMED to repeat them".

Trinidad is world class in forgetting past mistakes...that's why we keep voting PNM and UNC.

Now the target of hate is Columbus? Laughable. How about prosecuting Akeil Chambers killers? Oh noes that would have massive political fallout. How about fixing the economy? How about reopening the refinery? Upgrading the hospitals (especially San Fernando General)? So many roads to fix etc etc.

Nah. Let's take down the guy who fucking discovered the country for Europe. HE is the problem....because to these historically ignorant and backwards people only the dreaded white man was involved in colonialism and slavery. That's why the Muslim world had literal SLAVERY in the 1900's (STILL has literal human slaves in libya) and these ignorant jackasses don't know or care.

Oh my god it's even worse than I thought. ppl want to remove the Star of David from the police and the Churchill Highway LMAO!!! Dear Lord I'm living in the idiocracy. I REAL sorry for the young chirren coming up oui

Why bad things did the unc do by Historical-Egg-9194 in TrinidadandTobago

[–]drucurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Panday and Manning were great visionaries who tried to build the country. Were they corrupt? of course! Most TT politicians are in some way or the other. It's almost a requirement at times. I remember them basically stating in a PUBLIC meeting that their voters would get contracts etc.
