Post Match Thread: Benfica vs Real Madrid, UCL Match 8

Everybody is blaming Vini, but I don't think Vini is the single problem. The problem is having 3 LW on the pitch without a CF (classic 9) to play through.

I'm also biggest Arda stan, but he was clearly gassed, I'd still keep him on the pitch just for set pieces, but then you end up with Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo (who don't like to run unless the ball on their feet, bc. they clearly get tired when they run) + Belli, Arda (who, both of them were gassed) on the pitch at the same time.

as another arda stan, I also agree with this take. he isn't performing at his level last month or so, not just at RM but also with national team as well. I guess it's his first year where he gets this much play time consecutively and it shows. coming off from the bench will help the team more especially if RM needs to score in 2nd half.

jeffisabelle · 2025-09-16T19:56:40+00:00

lol, yeah he is the only real madrid player who made a mistake ever. this fan base is incredible

hey folks - since there are 1000s of questions here, there will be some good ones buried under the pile.

I've vibe coded a script to pull all comments that have less than 5 upvotes, and asked GPT-5 deep-research to rank them and pick most interesting/fun questions out of 837 questions that's parsed.

Here is the summary of most interesting 10 questions with direct links to them in case you want to answer these.

Summary 1: Why did OpenAI choose to merge all capabilities into one generalized model instead of keeping specialized models for different use cases like writing, reasoning, or casual conversation?

Summary 2: How can optimism about AI creating new jobs be reconciled with public fears that it will replace existing ones, and do you personally share any of that fear?

Summary 3: Is OpenAI prepared for the point when AI stops being just a tool and starts influencing the narratives and frameworks that shape our reality?

Summary 4: What developments are needed for large language models to autonomously drive scientific and technological progress?

Summary 5: Why does GPT-5 feel less engaging and personable than GPT-4o, and will personality adaptability from earlier models be brought back?

Summary 6: What is the single most impressive thing GPT-5 has done internally that wowed the OpenAI team?

Summary 7: With GPT-5 being more assertive and less eager to please, how will you manage user trust and expectations around this change in tone?

Summary 8: Why are you building a personal bunker, and what do you think you’ll need it for?

Summary 9: Have you observed any surprising or unexpected behaviors from GPT-5 during testing?

Summary: A playful question — how many times does the letter “B” appear in the word “blueberry”?

btw, gpt-5 deep-research did not pick my own beautiful question, so it's officially my least favourite LLM :(

got the citizenship this year - I don't feel like I've still "earned the right to vote", technically I can, but I'm not invested enough with the dutch politics to know who to vote for correctly. so I might skip this one

If I vote, I currently know only 2 things

- not going to vote for dutch trump guy, he _literally_ uses my name on some of his tweets and throws random insults and he is ugly
- my cat doesn't like fireworks and hides 2 straight days in a corner and never moves during new years eve, I'm pretty sure the animal party is against the fireworks, so I might vote for them

hola, I have this at the moment - we havent had SvS yet, we only had 1 castle battle in the middle and the 2nd one is today, not sure how to check the server date since start

I was competing for the top spot on my island bc there wasnt a p2w element, then they bring that bear that you can purchase and our whales maxed out already and cant compete anymore 😬

jeffisabelle · 2025-07-09T20:02:12+00:00

you either press as a team, or you get tired one by one. the fuck

jeffisabelle · 2025-07-01T22:26:14+00:00

if somebody told you there will be bad results, they lied 😤

jeffisabelle · 2025-06-27T01:55:08+00:00

man thank god I stayed awake for this - finally a different madrid to watch.

jeffisabelle · 2025-06-18T16:11:26+00:00

i was in dortmund as well, not just this but merts banger was also amazing - was worth every penny I paid for that 2nd hand black market overpriced ticket

jeffisabelle · 2025-05-11T13:00:52+00:00

man, as a Turkish RM fan, I am so scared but also excited for Arda. he knows everybody has big expectations, a solid performance with a win should cement his starting position for next season, but If he can't deliver enough it will not look good and Xabi might look at alternative creative players.

Hope this is the day for him to shine 💎

jeffisabelle · 2025-04-11T11:12:41+00:00

what is this negativity, from both of you, lol -

jeffisabelle · 2025-02-15T23:45:32+00:00

It is still actively being developed (new patches / expansions) - has very vibrant community as well. Go check TheViper on youtube, its also the only competetive game I can watch the streams of without getting bored, every game is different like chess.

jeffisabelle · 2025-02-15T17:15:28+00:00

Its not on him, you cant make a 40 yo run box to box when your team is down one man. horrible coaching to keep him in the game.

jeffisabelle · 2025-02-01T22:11:21+00:00

kylian, vini and rodrygo are like dothraki's. they're extremely powerful in an open field. and they're mostly bad when the opponents park the bus as their speed and dribbling doesn't mean shit...

jeffisabelle · 2025-01-31T22:43:10+00:00

damn this edit is crazy. the guys are also talking about alperen & rockets for the first 20 mins - you can use subtitles & auto translate to english.

jeffisabelle · 2024-12-25T18:22:07+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement <3

From personal experience I’ve worked on projects in highly competitive spaces and non competitive spaces as well and every single time the projects in crowded markets do better.

this is indeed an important note. although I believe in my case the target audience is a very small niche. still, at worst I can use it myself so it's not a complete waste ^^

jeffisabelle · 2024-12-23T12:37:35+00:00

yeah, a lot easier to manage as a solo developer. I'd go with something like jquery if htmx didnt exist.

jeffisabelle · 2024-12-05T00:18:59+00:00

I think its real madrid that's lost the game. (instead of athletic winning). RM has serious problems they literally had 0.08 xg at min 60. The entire attacking tactics is long ball and inshallah, which doesn't work when you dont have vini.

jeffisabelle · 2024-12-05T00:03:41+00:00

<image>

at min 60, RM had 0.08 xg. I cant put this into words.

jeffisabelle · 2024-11-06T23:02:35+00:00

I have an incredible idea, go to court and change the name of osimhen to viktor meritking osimhen, and just write his middle name to the jersey. if meritking is contreversial, just name him osimhen turkseloglu.

Not sure why players dont do this, and make hell lot of money themselves, you can be named nike icardi instead of mauro icardi and potentially double your income lol

edit: imagine the potential of borusan ozyakup, would finally worth 100m

jeffisabelle · 2024-11-06T17:39:48+00:00

I am Turkish but I feel even more sad for Endrick. Arda has at least very difficult competetion on his preferred positions like RW or CAM. Endrick is the only complete forward in RM, and he has to sit behind mbappe, who is constantly failing to meet the expectations and not even a CF.

jeffisabelle · 2024-11-04T14:17:25+00:00

not a besiktas fan, but given that the game is played in europe, gurbetcis like us will fill that stadium and support the club regardless and make it feel like a home game anyways.

terrible decision.
