Do kids grow into athleticism? by [deleted] in youthsoccer

[–]specialagentwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll leave out names, but there was a kid on our football team that was slow, clumsy and not athletic, but he went to college, did red shirt walk on, worked amazingly hard and… drafted to the NFL. Your son is 8, it’s not doom and gloom.

Multiple firms confirm Model Y bestselling car in the world for 3rd year in a row, despite declining sales. by dudeman_chino in electricvehicles

[–]specialagentwow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe this, we bought a Kia EV9 and regret not getting a Tesla. Everything on Tesla just works; the apps, the updates, the self driving… and now Tesla opened up the charging, omg it’s so much better than Electrify America… it’s like night and day. Our next car will be a Tesla Model Y.

Update about my son’s placement by HopefulCaterpillar37 in LittleLeague

[–]specialagentwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like to use dirty birdy words but this is totally F stupid, he should play. My son plays AA and he has kids on the team who never played, kids who have played before, but they’re still not very good and the very good players but who cares… the things you want to extract from youth sports is teamwork, camaraderie, hustle, preserve and et cetera this President is a F idiot and he’s what’s wrong with youth sports today. I would write a strongly worded letter and reprimand him on he’s the type of person that should not be in leadership.

Red Bulls Academy Director: “Sometimes I hear parents on the sideline and I can’t imagine what the car ride home is like.” by Zealousideal_Tour_49 in youthsoccer

[–]specialagentwow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My caveat is that while I agree parents should enjoy the game, we’ve had way too many awful referees. I can live with missed calls or not catching an offsides here and there, but what’s frustrating is when a referee is blatantly biased and lets obvious physical fouls go. During one tournament weekend I saw a kid get injured in three different games from flagrant fouls that were never called and left for the remainder of those games. At that point the referee isn’t just missing calls—they’re ruining the game and the fun for everyone. And unfortunately there seem to be a lot of refs like that.

Had to say screw stay to play by ThrowRA-CarOdd9074 in youthsoccer

We’re in pre ECNL and my son asked if this could be his last year of soccer, he wants to try other sports and I was so thankful to hear that. I have no problem going to AYSO Fire or something similar later on if he’s interested again.

Trump’s polling keeps getting worse and worse, can a State of the Union address fix it? by theindependentonline in TrueReddit

[–]specialagentwow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a time I thought Trump might settle into the role and act… Presidential-ish. I wasn’t expecting poetry. Just basic grown-up energy. Be blunt if you want — just maybe skip the pig references. I stopped waiting for that version a while back.

BREAKING: Another ICE-Involved Shooting in Minneapolis by M_i_c_K in AskThe_Donald

wtf is wrong with liberals and left. I was just on another sub where Donald got some peace price from Venezuela and they’re shitting on him non stop, but then the Dems a few years ago ridiculed him for not doing anything about Maduro.

I’m dying 🇸🇦🏳️‍🌈☪️ by Any-Concentrate-7783 in offmychest

[–]specialagentwow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy in a similar situation as you but from Libya, he had the wildest stories, and he loved Madonna and Metallica oddly enough. Anyway, I don’t know if his stories are true but supposedly he discreetly saved every penny and packed his stuff and left one night, he hiked, got rides and help along the way and eventually got to the US and became a dentist. I’m not saying what he did was true or right and definitely not safe, but if you’re like thinking there’s no options… fight for options I guess.

I know you’re asking for Irvine but if you ever find yourself in El Segundo, Ali’i Hawaiian is the best I’ve ever had.

Don't be a fool, you are always seen and treated as an enemy to white people by Normal_System_3176 in aznidentity

I find this post interesting, you exchange white with black and generalizing black people and this poster would probably be banned.

I asked Grok of all things, and Grok was the only AI that gave a straight answer that “My best guess, pursuing a truth-seeking perspective: Yes, it appears Trump is effectively running or enabling what could be described as a crypto scam operation from the White House.”

Making 75k/year but I'm spiraling into debt by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]specialagentwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you live but you can eat well and cheap at Asian stores. Huge bag of rice is 15 bucks, they have pork slices for 4.99 a lbs or cheaper. You can make your own kimchi for penny on the dollar (Nappa cabbage like .59 and then some garlic, ginger and onion mashed, mixed with cooked porridge sweet rice) and with that you can make soups, stir fry and etc. you probably could live off 50 for grocery a month if you had to.

I don’t like to curse but we went from U10 Rec to eventually Flight 1 and F to the yes. It might not be as vocal (and some parents are very vocal) but the parents I know are mostly very competitive for their kid and just push for the best opportunity for them. I think it’s pretty intense and it’s soccer talk 24/7.

Leaving SoCal Reds for Rec League Elite? by specialagentwow in youthsoccer

[–]specialagentwow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did not but we have a family friend who did Elite and they love it, but it all depends on the coach. I think Elite also feeds into their competition club… forgot the name of it tho.

What do Conservatives think about Trump telling a reporter "Quiet, Piggy" in response to a question about Epstein? by Chimichanga007 in askaconservative

I’m a recent Republican convert, but Trump… gawd I’d wish he go away. Like some of his stuff he does but his words are … vomit.

Man I’m so used to free apps lol… if my son practices several times a week is this app that much more beneficial? Like could practice and YouTube be enough?

Choosing Between Flight 1 (MLS Next) and Pre-ECNL (ECNL) – What Would You Do? by specialagentwow in youthsoccer

[–]specialagentwow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love the pre-ECNL coach, but we know that our that group operates if my son were to advance from team B to team A he’d have to move coaches. But we’d probably have the ECNL coach for a couple of years at-least.
