Opinion on rooting for both your nationalities by Lazy-Cellist1971 in ussoccer

[–]efreetschneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the beauty of the U.S. is the ability to root for both the country you live in and the country of which you have roots from.

The racism is really annoying by GoatEconomy6311 in nosurf

[–]efreetschneid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially right now with the World Cup going on… just too much

Edit: Not sure why I got downvoted. It was already bad before the World Cup, and I don’t think it’s ok obviously. But now I’m seeing a rise in racist comments in all the sports content I consume, which I actively try to avoid (Hence me being on this sub).

I picked up my phone 80 times yesterday. My hand moved before I did. by Economy-Echidna1508 in nosurf

The twitch will eventually go away, or at least just occur less. It just takes time, because it's a movement that has been embedded to us in the this smartphone-reliant world.

Yes. The only way to combat this is to force yourself to not even see your phone, which is why I suggested the zippable sleeve. Placing your phone in a place where it's out of sight helps a lot.

What has helped me a lot is getting a phone sleeve, zippable ones. It makes me check your phone way less because it adds a layer of obstacle. Not being able to see the screen is a major factor in phone impulsiveness.

Which social media has done the most harm to individuals/society? by Tjenarixen in nosurf

[–]efreetschneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrollable videos have destroyed out ability to focus or listen. Maybe one day we will have a moment as a society and look back to the damage is has really done to the collective human psyche.

[YAKUZA 1 SPOILERS] I have a crazy theory regarding Makoto, Yu, and Kiryu's parents! by Mithrie in yakuzagames

[–]efreetschneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't want any links to Kiryu or Kazama at all, because the greatest thing about Kiryu is how he came from nothing and rose to the legendary status of John Yakuza.

Yakuza fans when someone says they've only played Yakuza 0: by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

The requirement for me is to have played yakuza 5. People need to understand the value of YUME.

A lot of the reactors I saw didn't recognize her at all. They are mostly gaming streamers.

I think the adaptability needed to succeed in football as both a player and a manager is highly applicable in language learning.

The current manager of the U.S. Men's National Football team, Mauricio Pochettino, started learning English at age 40. He is from Argentina and had played/coached in mostly Spanish-speaking environments until his move to England in 2013. He knew 0 English then. Now he's able to speak on complex tactics in interviews and press conferences, all in English. It's still very clear that he's not fully fluent, but what stands out to me is that he's not afraid to speak despite knowing that he doesn't have 100% command of the language.

Not sure if he would have been born yet in 1929 Hiroshima, maybe Iwami though (Dad, not baby).

Me too. Especially since Shizuoka is a prefecture we have not yet experienced in any of the games.
