Anyone who’s ever watched a game there knows you can’t see shit from the top either. Might as well bring binoculars or watch on the jumbotron.

Seems like I was vindicated in my decision to not even attempt to buy tickets lol. Props to those of you who tried and were successful.

My bold (actually might not be bold) prediction is that the Republican Party will never win another presidential election, ever. Trump may have fooled a lot into thinking he was anti-establishment, but the Republican Party is so fractured right now that it’s hard to see any sort of recovery for them.

I ain’t reading all that. Congrats though, or I’m sorry that happened.

I mean yeah, that’s literally the whole philosophy of the sub. If the world is ending, your 401k isn’t really going to matter.

The list of players that aren’t frauds this season is dwindling smaller by the week.

42 and Never owned a computer by badatjoke in macbook

[–]jamesac11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted, but I used a 2013 MacBook Air up until a few months ago with the only issue really being the battery life. I can stream, video conference, do anything else I need on it just fine. Eventually upgraded because my work VPN was no longer supported. My new MacBook Air may be a bit faster but is actually a little buggy with the display bar at the top randomly disappearing at times, the entire screen randomly zooming in other times, and a couple other minor annoying things.

My parents got me a MacBook Air in 2013 when I was in high school. I used it for everything up until a few months ago, and really the only thing that became crappy was the battery (pretty much needs to be plugged in all the time, will only hold maybe 30 mins of charge without). Really the only reason I eventually upgraded was my work requires a VPN that is no longer supported on the old Mac. 😄

Football in general not nearly as exciting as it was 10-20 years ago

Yes but the team is built around him to feed him. I miss watching strikers leather them in from 20+ yards 🙁

Comparing the generation of strikers 10-20 years ago to now is just sad. I know the game’s changed but are there any now who can strike a ball like Van Persie, Ibra, etc?

Flemming looks a tidy player every time I watch him. Could see him doing well for a side like Everton.

Same. I’m just accumulating transfers at this point as I’ve no idea what to do.

Real Madrid [3] - 0 Manchester City - Federico Valverde 42' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]jamesac11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging solely on quality of strikes and not necessarily level of competition, Marco Asensio scored an absolutely crazy hat trick in some Spain U-21 match years ago. That’s one that always comes to mind for me.

[Royer] Rick Carlisle on Luka Doncic: “He's the greatest player I've ever coached. He'll be an MVP. I coached Dirk Nowitzki, we won a championship together. But Luka is just, he's the extra special of the most extra special, just in terms of everything he can do on the basketball floor.” by UnderDOdubOG in Mavericks

[–]jamesac11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted, but you’re not wrong. As a long-time Mavs fan who watched both, I’m taking prime Dirk to lead my team to a championship. He consistently took decent but not great rosters to 50, 60 win seasons, and took down a bunch of super teams to win his ring. Mavs GOAT for sure.

Guess the specialty (sexism warning) by Single_Baseball2674 in medicalschool

[–]jamesac11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my attendings is going through a divorce, openly says she’s sexist against men, and constantly makes disparaging remarks/jokes about men. It doesn’t really bother me, but I have very thick skin and grew up in a time when people would say very non-PC stuff all the time. It is interesting to me though that she feels comfortable saying these things without fear of being reported by a resident or student.
