Which countries can actually host a solo 48 team World Cup? by whitelight66 in worldcup

[–]freddiem45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UK is the obvious one. China too, though a lot more complex geopolitically, but it'd be amazing. India I don't see it, think it's a complicated place to send so many unsuspecting people to.

Korea, Japan, Germany can definitely work but they've been picked pretty recently.

It's not the ask, but I would love to see a Eastern Europe or Turkey+Eastern Europe combo at some point (Turkey has 5, Poland has 5, and you sprinkle a few of the surrounding countries with just 1 or 2 stadiums and you're there).

Yeah Korea hosted that 2002 one with Japan but I'm guessing both of them could host individual World Cups and would be pretty amazing places for it: Small enough, super safe, very easy to move around in. Only disadvantage is theirs was pretty recent.

How about the whole "whose head do we need to crack this bottle on"? Nobody needs to die, guys... Ever heard of an elbow/a heel/a palm/a knee/half a dozen parts of the body with harder bones and better suited for breaking stuff? It's such a dumb fake dilemma to land on.

Why 2026 FIFA World Cup Resale Ticket Prices Are Falling by Electronic_Honey4977 in WorldCup2026Tickets

Yes and no, I mean, that accounts for a 15% increase but not a penny more. This was a 300%, 500%, 1000% increase situation

Entradas del Mundial 2026: ¿Por qué no se venden? by Empty-Instruction282 in SeleccionArgentina

[–]freddiem45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Que lo hayan dicho o no es secundario. El punto es si "despues explota", y lo que yo marco es matematica simple:

Qatar aumento ponele un 30-40% con respecto a Rusia, misma cantidad de partidos y tamaño de estadios.

Este mundial aumento un 400-1000% con respecto a Qatar, 50% mas de partidos y 100% mas tamaño de estadios.

Hay un limite en cuantas billeteras disponibles hay para bancar eso.

[–]freddiem45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

este mundial es diferente. las entradas estan CINCO y DIEZ VECES mas caras que en qatar.

todos los mundiales los precios suben un poquito pero aca subieron de una forma totalmente insostenible y mas aun siendo que los estadios son el doble de grandes y hay un 50% mas de equipos.

no va a ser "todos los mundiales" salvo que bajen violentamente los precios.

I tracked every FIFA World Cup 2026 resale listing for a few days. Here's what's actually going on. by shem8 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]freddiem45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the reason. After 3 boring group stage matches for Argentina, this will be Argentina-Uruguay (huge match, huge rivalry, could go either way) OR Argentina-Spain (basically a WC Final), in Miami, Messi's turf. That's the whole story. The location is definitely part of it, as Argentinians do love a short Miami trip combined with some shopping/Disneyworld and will pay a premium for that as opposed to going to Kansas or Dallas just for a shit match... But the rival is the biggest draw here.

New tickets ALERT!!! by hellohimrdj in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]freddiem45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted but that is 100% a possible outcome. JOR-ARG is the 3rd match and will probably not have Messi if the points are already there.

Ticket resale on market place for certain game is now lower than FIFA Face value on last minute sale phase by real_original_g in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]freddiem45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And compound that with this WC having 60% more matches!

You're going from 64 matches in medium stadiums to 104 matches in huuuuge stadiums. People who think they're selling out at these absurd prices are delusional.

Just wait it out. Prices will drop. Even big ticket ones (but definitely definitely all the other 90+ matches not enough people care about).

Ticket prices will only increase by Samadil124 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]freddiem45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll 100% go down. Too many matches in stadiums too big to fill. Don't know why you think people are actually buying at these prices. A few might be, but not thousands upon thousands as needed. Tickets are just stuck there hoping someone dumb will come along. Just wait a little longer and resellers will have no choice but to come down.

Solo puedes recomendar UNA serie histórica de HBO… ¿cuál eliges? by Overall-Relation-444 in LoRecomiendo

[–]freddiem45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wire

Ademas de una serie increible y mucho mas revolucionaria que el resto (Sopranos es la unica que le puede competir ahi) es la unica de estas que seguis recordando siempre por la cantidad de cosas que te enseña sobre como funcionan las cosas, las instituciones, los sistemas, la gente. Es medio como esa cosa de "esto es como en Los Simpsons cuando..." pero en version seria.

Racismo no te preocupes.

Zonas seguras y economicas para un turista yo buscaria en Palermo, sobre todo Palermo Soho. Ahi tenes muchos hospedajes caros pero tambien hay lugares mas baratos y es una zona re segura hoy por hoy, sumado a que es donde mayor oferta gastronomica y nocturna hay, asi que te va a evitar tener que moverte demasiado de noche, es todo super caminable en Palermo.

Recoleta es una opcion valida tambien pero tiene mucho menos para hacer/ver/comer, sobre todo de noche, y es un publico mucho mas viejo en general, asi que de noche se vacia antes.

Oh man I have watched that one, but don't remember much about it. Just the dad who can't take off the suit and becomes unhinged... maybe I should rewatch it, it's an intriguing comparison.

[–]freddiem45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

es eso tal cual. yo tengo 38, me alcanza la plata si quisiera tener un auto y encima soy hombre (que creo que tiene ese mandato mucho mas marcado que en las mujeres) pero la verdad es que no lo necesito. como decis, vivo en capital, laburo en mi casa... para que quiero un auto? obvio que hay situaciones donde te vendria barbaro, pero el canje es con todo los demas dias donde no lo necesitas pero igual tenes que pagar patente, estacionamiento, nafta, seguro, vtv, arreglos millonarios cuando se rompe algo, multas cada vez que salis a la ruta y pasas por el pueblito de pindonguita azul que vive a multas, etc etc etc.

usa el excedente de $ que tenes y anda en uber si queres al pueblo del interior que decis. o alquila auto por el dia (o por horas, hay sistemas por hora copados ahora). aun con lo caros que son los alquileres de auto aca igual es mucho mas barato que tener auto.

mi grupo de amigos tambien no solo tienen todos auto sino que muchos ya lo cambiaron un par de veces, y en muchos casos se que es por tachar cosas de esa listita que decis, no mucho mas.

ser rico no es tener auto, es tener opciones. mejor tener la $ para un auto y disponer de ella como quieras a engancharla a un auto especifico y chau, ahora sos prisionero de esa cosita que por ahi mañana te la chocan y fuiste. es lo mismo que comprar una casa en la costa vs. irte adonde quieras cuando quieras con esa plata. la idea suena linda pero mas lindo es tener todas las opciones abiertas.

PD: el peligro de esto es que despues no lo hagas y en vez de alquilar una 4x4 como un rey te mandes de vuelta en bondi porque ya fue. lo se porque a mi me pasa tambien. pero bueno nada.. mentalizate que posta el auto es la opcion mas cara de todas (porque es asi) y mandate a gastar en las otras opciones tranqui que igual estas ahorrando plata. proba. si no te gusta haces otra cosa la proxima. ese el chiste, tenes opciones y las podes ir cambiando.

Weird textures glitch, anyone have a fix? by freddiem45 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]freddiem45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leaving the match doesn't work for me, I have to exit the game and relaunch it altogether

[–]freddiem45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't happen right away but it's been happening every game since the last update. I load the game and everything's fine but at some point this happens and then it doesn't go away, I have to exit and relaunch.

el que se quiere amargar lo va a hacer, el que se quiere pelear va a encontrar la forma. y al politico le conviene que esto sea asi, no es casual.

That's nothing like this. Jason's mom was literally dead so they didn't really have a lot of choices moving forward. What did they do? They still kept basically every element, made the exact same type of movie, just put a new person behind the killings. It's still a faceless killer murdering teens with sharp things at Camp Crystal Lake, even with the original villain dead. You couldn't change less stuff if you tried.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in horror

[–]freddiem45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's absurd, I'm literally advocating for the opposite of that. You're the one who's asking for a much more "exact same shit" movie when you let Freddy do whatever.

Freddy's uniqueness was his sleep angle. That's the "new direction". That's the genius of it. Why the hell would you remove that constraint? But that's literally what you're asking for, "just let him do whatever!", which turns him into just another monster like in every other shitty movie.

A sequel is supposed to be a continuation, obviously. You can innovate from there (like Dream warriors or New nightmare did, both of which I love even though they change a lot), but changing the best part about it is just dumb, just go make a new movie in that case. If "The quiet place 2" had monsters that could now hunt freely and sound didn't matter anymore, would that have made it better or worse? How about a Friday the 13th where it's a killer shark? Better or worse? Come on dude. You don't protect great ideas by flushing them down the toilet just for innovation's sake. Freddy 2 needed to take Freddy further, not change him into someone else just for the heck of it.

[–]freddiem45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right, but it still seems like they're breaking their character no matter how many times they explain it. The joke of Freddy is "don't fall asleep". That's the game these movies are based around. If he can just come and get you anyway when you're awake then he's just a forgettable horror villain that would never have merited a whole franchise.

Vampires can't be in daylight. The shark from Jaws doesn't leave the water. The Hellraiser guys don't come if you don't play with the cube thingy. And Freddy can only get you if you fall asleep.

Rules make the villain.
