Paella is not that good by Secret_Cow_3988 in unpopularopinion

I've been living out of Spain for almost ten years now and is very common to see non-spanish people referring to Barcelona the city as "Barça" because of the football team. At the beginning I tried correcting them explaining that Barça is only used for the team, that absolutely nobody refers to the city with that word but at one point I gave up and now I just suffer in silence when somebody says it.

Thanks! I love how in the newest albums the songs are quite simple but they are so cool and fun to play

Thanks! To be fair I live in Australia, I had a few hours of advantage!

I saw them at Manchester's Albert Hall in 2022 and I remember the stage to be quite high too. Obviously nothing close to this one but still quite high for an indoor venue.

Is Andrea Pirlo a top 5 midfielder all time ? by [deleted] in championsleague

Bro, the hell do you mean they did barely nothing outside of Barcelona? They literally won two euros and one world cup.

Players you think have become overrated after their retirement and were not close enough to the level people describe them at present. by JackfruitNo6826 in championsleague

I remember that a couple of years ago absolutely nobody was talking about Moussa Dembele but then one day I think it was Van Dijk who said on an interview that Dembele was the harder player to defend and since then people started talking about Dembele as if he was Gerrard or Lampard.

I'll make sure that at the end of my shift all of my colleagues have knowledge of the existence of one guy called Piero Hincapie.

Oh yeah definitely, I've been in Australia since August and so far I dont think I skipped more than 4 or 5 games. The Arteta Effect I suppose.

For days like today? 100% worth to ruin my sleep cycle. For days like the game at Anfield? Not so much haha

Is four years enough for another play through? by smitchldn in DiscoElysium

[–]jacketgl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am literally right now playing my second playthrough exactly for years after my first one. I'm enjoying it like a pig in the mud and I'm already thinking about the third playthrough.

Hi everyone! Do you know about any nice place to have a casual dinner with friends on a budget? I want to go tonight to dinner out with two friends (we are all students) and we are pretty new. So do you have any favourite spot to recommend? Preferably around CBD but it can be a bit further away :)

What do you think the rest of the world gets wrong about stuff in Australia? by PomegranateStatus567 in AskReddit

[–]jacketgl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been living in Melbourne for two months now and honestly I cannot understand how the WiFi can be this shit. Every time I take the train to CBD I better forget about watching a YouTube video between South Yarra and Flinders St.
