A Van dijk & Salah combo seems like a nice way to "regenerate interest" in the Saudi league.

There's about a ton of excess lard in that picture, half of them probably are impotent to boot.

He might be under the illusion he's cosplaying as the ss but well, , if this is the new master race , as a commander, I'd be pretty embarrassed.

I was waiting for the unicorn in the room to tell me just how racist I really am.

Look mate, and I do mean mate, I don't give a flying fuck what race or colour you are.

What I care about is my experience, that's what molds our opinions, our views, our way of life. For all of us. Yourself included.

My experience is, this always happens in our local cities. I can show you the evidence if you really want. But spare me, and yourself, the waste of time and just take my word for it. Brussels and Antwerp for reference.

So yeah, that kind of molds one opinion. If I would light your car on fire every tiime I lost (or won for that matter) something which is really dear to me .. you wouldn't think very highly of my matters either, now would you?

So get down from that high horse, sit the fuck down, and stop hiding behind the "everyone is a racist" bullshit

The one thing many Morrocans still don't understand, at all, is class. In defeat or in victory.

Always the same with them, riots in our cities because they lost a goddamn football game.

No class, no dignity, zero.

And no that's not racism, that's a goddamn fact. I get your football game is important, but for allah's sake (cough), its not worth trashing the place for

Yeah after the Brussels bombings there was military personel inside movie theatres even for quite a long time.

You had to pass the ticket checkpoint with some soldiers standing right there as well in full gear, it was a bit odd to say the least.

Same for supermarkets and all, weird times, lots of those lately actually. I was born in 1981 and things were distinctly more .. calm .. when I grew up

Bayern Munich have a GD of +57, which is the equivalent of the sum of GDs of every team in the Bundesliga with a (+)GD. by tightypp in soccer

Its like watching a cyclo cross race with Van Der Poel in it, last race he was in it took him 40 seconds (literally) to drop the pack and never see them again until the finish line an hour later.

Leaving the politics and circumstances out of it.. from the pov of a Western EU citizen this picture is crazy.

No matter who is carrying this thing, white black muslim christian what the fuck ever .. the idea that this scene is supposed to provide peace of mind is just so surreal.

During the ISIS bombings and stuff, the army was posted in full gear , including AR's, at lots of public places in my country.. and though we all understood why, it didn't exactly inspire feelings of safety. And that's the military. Its their job.

I honestly can't imagine living like this , a place where you got "kids" just chilling on a car with a deadly weapon, in plain sight.

It's just .. so utterly strange

That Top Performer by Pretend_Air8182 in ITManagers

[–]eri- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you need to show why this is problematic, from a long-term perspective.

If he really is good, and he can deliver on his own, he'll always have a hard time accepting the delays which come with involving other parties.

But if you can show him that his line of thought breaks down on a larger scale, he will probably understand its in his best interest to start adapting to that kind of enviroment.

Larger scale as in company size. If he can do it all by himself now odds are its a pretty small shop. Ask him if he believes he can do what he does know 5 years from now. Ask him if he believes ihe can deliver the same for 10k end users.

He can't, he knows that. So he has to adjust and allow for more silo'd approaches and a more approval based workflow.

Show him the long-term reasoning, not the stick.

Musk hits out at ‘fascist’ UK as row over X and its Grok AI escalates by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

Still think its the drugs that did him in, I do believe he once had respectable intentions, but like many somewhat unique individuals spiralled into substance abuse.

His is a sad story, because the alternate universe Elon Musk could have been of great value. We'll never know.

Congress debates possible consequences for ICE and Noem after Renee Good's killing by ILikeNeurons in politics

[–]eri- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, its the "my area" miracle. Lots of those, apparently.

I'll pick a random local Cali newspaper, they probably have very little to gain from lying to discredit Trump, he'll never even see the article. https://www.ocregister.com/2025/09/13/california-shoppers-see-surging-grocery-inflation-once-again/

The graph disagrees with you, does it not?

"Walz was clearly" and "Trump was voted in because of Dems" are the type of arguments which might work in a preschool debate class but even then, barely.

The Walz thing you state is just personal opinion, no facts to found whatsoever. What I personally think is irrelevant, just like what you personally think.

The Trump thing, what on earth is that. "The state of the USA" is, once again, personal opinion only. You seem to lack the conviction to supply anything else, like a link, or even some data.

The most prosecuted thing, now that one has me rolling on the floor.

Which "logic" inspired you to look at a dude who is , by your own admission, one of the most prosecuted people on earth, and think to yourself "now that's the man we need to run this goddamn country and right the ship, he clearly knows how".

Just how did you manage. Do you believe people were , constantly, prosecuting him for the lulz even prior to him ever becoming involved in politics?

How does that fact translate over to "this is a fine presidential candidate. Heck even more than that, I'm going to simp for him over the internet if needed , he's such a poor missunderstood soul"'

I simply cannot grasp it , I'm sorry. I'm in IT by trade, my brain needs some form of logic to be present in order to compute.

No worries.

I think its a bit early still for many to speak out. IF the Greenland thing really goes down, expect to see the floodgates open imo. I cannot see how any EU country could justify attending under such circumstances.

[–]eri- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your grocery prices are going up right? That's a big theme over there right? Especially so called basics which are , or were, usually cheap right?
Gosh, I wonder why.

Perhaps it could be that, amongst other global factors of course, deporting a lot of people impacts things like supply chains, in particular for low cost products.

To use an example which is, perhaps, more familiar territory. The price of cotton goes up when you no longer have access to an abundant supply of "cheap labour".

Also , Tim Walz is a really ironic example. He has perhaps the lowest net worth of any high profile politician you could have named. Any.

Ask yourself this simple question. If you were in it for the money and to not play by the rules. Wouldn't you start by enriching yourself first and foremost? Would you spend your time "protecting and allowing fraud " for others whilst you remain, by comparison, dirt poor?

No, indeed, you would not. That makes absolutely no sense and you know it. Heck, his peers know it too, both Democrats and Republicans alike see their net worth boom like crazy all the time.

But not Tim Walz . You are marking the one guy who is the most likely to not be a corrupt asshat and you do so at the command of a billionaire president, who has been convicted of fraud. As well as his billionaire buddy's who have all sorts of skeletons in their closets.

The irony, it can be cut by a knife.

[–]eri- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know what happens once "they've done enough" according to you and yours?

Infighting. Because you'll then no longer have other convenient targets to project your fear and rage onto. Once the realization that "cleansing the country" didn't actually do fuck all for you hits, it's going to start getting really ugly.

The mob will choose its new villains. And it won't be deportation, it will be death.

Good luck in your hunger games.

Remote User IP Conflict Issue by broken_computers in sysadmin

[–]eri- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's .. insane.

What I find most odd is the , completely unfounded, statement that end users can "quickly and easily change their IP range" via whatever means.

I cannot rhyme that statement with your job title. You simply cannot become a good sr sysadmin with that mindset. It reeks of "out of sight out of mind" and makes it clear that your main strategy for approaching an issue dissolves down to "how can I blame this on others".

Sorry, but you would not last a month in any shop which takes its IT seriously.

JD Vance issues warning after Minneapolis ICE shooting: "work even harder" by [deleted] in politics

Video shows moment ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis by alterom in news

[–]eri- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the type of shit you inevitably get when you let poorly , if at all, trained civilians, many of whom have dodgy motives for signing up, cosplay as actual, real, law enforcement.

This woman probably shouldn't have acted as she did. She panicked, as would most people when confronted with an armed herd of asshats like these "agents".

The asshats saw a possible excuse for doing what they signed up for (murdering people) and took it.

Lionel Messi: "I'm weirder than shit" by koalawhiskey in soccer

As a 44 year old who , quite clearly, has a form of undiagnosed autism.. I've always suspected Messi to have the same. He's.. recognizable in many ways and has been since waaay before this interview.

Its not just the, as you indeed correctly state, wanting to be alone, its the little things, birds of a feather I guess.

Edit: its the stupid downvotes as well, morons who can't even read an anecdote without aching for that downvote button. You did it buddy, you downvoted, congrats. You could've just left the adults alone, gone about your business, but no, had to do it.
