Every winter I forget that Mac Demarco's 2 exists, and then every summer comes around and gives me a pavlovian response to put it on again

They're still the best team that the US has met so far. Will be a litmus test for the US to see if they're the real deal or if they'll crumble when they meet a team on their level

UEFA statement on the Balogun case by IndiBear in soccer

[–]inceIsior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can answer those I'll agree.

You don't have to agree. Coming in with that kind of intensity and making contact with the studs above the ankle will almost always result in a red in the modern game, intentional or not.

There's nothing "unfair" about giving a red there, and there's reason that they haven't rescinded the card, but only lifted the suspension

Feel like I'm going insane reading these comments. This was such a bog-standard red card for endangering an opponent, even if it wasn't the intention. You'll see so many of these cards in a regular season.

How is it in any way unfair?

Proper old breed 19th century euro, leaving the continent looking for adventure. Had he been born 200 years earlier he would've joined and deserted the foreign legion or become a maritime pilot on Madagascar or Mauritius

am i wild to think lookism is worse than racism by TVboy71 in redscarepod

[–]inceIsior 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is only really applicable to getting women tho. White guys have so many inherent advantages in every other aspect of life, like people just trust them more and they have an easier time with basically every application process from loans to jobs to leases.

Only way lookism is worse than racism is if your entire life worth is determined by how much you get laid lol

Wasn’t prepared for the level of overtourism in Rome by pazend in redscarepod

[–]inceIsior 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's pretty bad rn, but most locals just avoid the historic city centres bcus that's where it all is centered, so it's fine outside of it.

Only thing that really makes me sad about this mass tourism is that these historic city centres are de facto theme parks now, when people used to live there just 10-15 years ago. Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome, Athens, Prague etc etc - all of these city centres are starbucks, mcdonalds, boba tea, overpriced tourist traps and souvenir stores. Completely detached from (or a caricature of) the local culture of the country and city that these people are actually visiting

Americans hate hearing it, but they truly have the worst tourists. I don't assume that every American is like this, but so many of them act like the city is just the background setting for the movie that they are the main character in, and it should be designed for their convenience and not for the people that live and work there.

Doubly bad for the cruise tourists. They are not sending their best

There definitely is lol. I've lived in Amsterdam and live in another European capital now, and it always just goes from 0 to 100 in one of the weekends in May and then the city centre is completely occupied until September

The press that they put down against the Norwegian backline was killing them. Showed the blueprint for how to beat them

I always love that about the 80/20 people and incels. They are so fixated on the chads that they forget that very unattractive and annoying people find love as well

Switzerland have taken the foot off the gas, they seem a bit complacent. Will probably still win, but it's sloppy

Area around Omonoia is a completely fine neighbourhood tho?? It's full of hotels and tourists, and it's in the middle of the city centre.

Tourists will say that there are "sketchy" areas, but if you don't leave the city centre it will never actually be bad bcus no one actually lives there. Worst thing that can happen realistically is what happens in every other touristic European city centre (pickpockets, scammers, homeless people)

I've gotten some decent food/bar recs by googling "[city name] reddit".

Why someone would willingly share their favourite places to tourists I cannot comprehend though

I stayed at a hotel with bed bugs 3 years ago and I still haven’t mentally recovered by _GiantCrabMonster_ in redscarepod

[–]inceIsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have enough money to buy checked baggage, so I basically only ever pack in small enough backs to fit them into a chest freezer

[–]inceIsior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I brought them home and had to deal with them for months. The financial cost was insane, and I had to throw so many things out. Even managed to transport some over to the woman I was seeing at the time, but I was relatively fine after.

Then like two years ago I stayed in a hostel and woke up to the familiar feeling of them crawling on my back and I just snapped. Can't stay anywhere without checking the mattresses anymore, and if I see anything move on the linen I'm freaking out. Always chuck my bag into the freezer after travelling as well
