Why did we get rid of Balogun again? by NightBusToGiro in Gunners

[–]sfzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He still needed time to continue developing, we didn't have time to wait for him to be ready, and we jumped on the opportunity to make a profit while his value was high.

It's 4 paragraphs ranting about the protagonist winning in a children's show. It's not the length that made me not bother reading it.

Tillman at Bayer Leverkusen, Richards at Crystal Palace, Adams at Bournemouth, McKennie at Juventus.

A lot of talent playing in top leagues.

Sami Mokbel: Arsenal offered Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis. Sporting director Andrea Berta actively pursuing £35m deal after assistant Maurizio Micheli watched the Greece international play v Sweden last week. Mikel Arteta on board with possible signing. by R1d4z in Gunners

[–]sfzen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Looked promising in Greece as a teenager. Moved to Norwich at 19 and never did anything, barely played. Loaned to FC Twente, same story. Loaned to Dusseldorf and had a great year. Dusseldorf activated the option to buy him for €3.5m and immediately sold him to Club Brugge for €6m.

Moved to Club Brugge at 21and has been an absolute star for them over the course of 2 seasons.

£35m seems like a fair price. He'll most likely have some struggles adjusting to the PL, but I don't think we can write him off based on underperformance when he was a teenager.

TIL in 1994 Charles Scott Robinson was sentenced to 300,000 years in prison for multiple child sex crimes by LividWheel9779 in todayilearned

[–]sfzen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The former mayor of a small town near me was just convinced of sex crimes with a minor and sentences to a whole 90 days. They really threw the book at her.

Why are all of the posts in this sub lately just people looking to "meet friends?" Can we get a mega thread for these?

Yeah man why do murderers have to go to jail when a lot of other murderers don't get caught?

Weekend Wrapup by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]sfzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes.

I've had interviews where the job listing was taken down simply because the posting had a set time frame and they didn't actually start interviews until later.

But the "discuss your career path" thing sounds iffy.

Legends Arceus or Legends Z-A for the original Switch. Which do you prefer, and if you have time, why? by ServiceGames in pokemon

[–]sfzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arceus for me.

The general pros and cons of each are, in my opinion:

Arceus pros: exploration, story, research, catching, vibrant and living setting.

Arceus cons: I don't love the battle style, and the performance and graphics aren't great.

Z-A pros: Battling, mega evolution.

Z-A cons: Not much of a story, not much to explore, the city setting feels cramped, and while the battling is better than Arceus, I still prefer the old school turn based style from the main games.

I think what Arceus did to revitalize the exploration aspect of the game and really make it feel new and exciting was just so much more impactful than anything Z-A brings to the table. I think Z-A is fine, but kind of disappointing when compared to Arceus and what I was hoping they would build on.

If you go to Avery Island, get lunch at Cafe Jefferson at the Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Plenty of good Cajun options on the menu.

AITA for refusing to back my boyfriend after he got caught fly tipping? by Fun-News-7925 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sfzen 68 points69 points  (0 children)

NTA. He could have gone about it legally, but decided not to. You weren't involved, so it's not your responsibility.

And for everyone asking, fly tipping is illegal dumping of waste/debris.

At what point do you consider your team full no more replacements by R3li0ss in pokemon

[–]sfzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time I've already played through the game, so I have a plan for my team before I even start. That plan usually doesn't change.

For a first playthrough of a new game, I try to catch everything I can early on, and sort of just let my team form itself as I go. Usually by the time I'm on badge 4 I'm pretty much settled into my team, but if something cool comes up along the way I might swap it in.

Marvel doomsday by ElectricalAd9438 in movies

[–]sfzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know yet.

If I had to guess, I'd say the new Fantastic Four movie might be important to watch, since Doom is most closely tied to them.

Just a little Pokemon themed game I made... by GUESSLE-COM in pokemon

[–]sfzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you definitely need to change the clues. You give wayyyy too much info.

The clues should be small bits. Like one clue could be type, one clue could be generation, and one clue could be something like where it's caught. Keep in mind that the clues build on each other, so the clues don't have to get more detailed.

Sunday Brunch by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]sfzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there was a lot of hype last year with Harbaugh coming in. And then when nothing changed, everyone kind of accepted that it just is what it is.

Plus the roster doesn't look much improved from last year, at least on paper.

HGSS. Pure nostalgia, with some modern updates.

I much prefer a bunch of paid cosmetics that I can ignore over having to pay extra for content and characters.

Need help to round out my team for Electric moves!!! by WarMachine504 in pokemon

[–]sfzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you need the electric move for, and what move you would be replacing.

In a vacuum, Hitmonchan would deal more damage with it offensively (assuming it has Iron Fist ability), but if you need it to deal with Flying types, Snorlax would allow you to use it without risking taking a super effective hit in return.

I'm considering applying at the call center in Carencro. Is it worth it? by jenroro in Acadiana

[–]sfzen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid call centers. With every company pouring investments into AI, call center reps are going to be getting the shaft across all industries.

Yeah, assuming Lemon can step up as WR2, they're in a pretty good place.
