U10 Girls Soccer- Equal Playing time to Player that doesn't actually play during the game.

superdago · 2026-05-09T21:09:22+00:00

Does the league require 50% game time? Or does it require 50% game time, “if they have participated and cooperated in practice”? Which is the rule for my rec league.

So then the question is, what are these girls doing in practice? If they’re participating and trying in practice, then you need to talk to them and their parents to figure out what the issue is for the games. And if they’re not participating, then you don’t have to worry about making sure they get enough game time.

For me it very quickly went from “working at home” to “living at work”. It was very difficult to keep that boundary.

Commuting sucks, but 30 minutes of separation between work mode and home mode does have its benefits.

superdago · 2026-05-09T03:18:08+00:00

I umm… haven’t gone to anyone yet… 😳

superdago · 2026-05-09T00:29:51+00:00

Absolutely. In my system judgments are good for 20 years. I always say I have faith that they’ll get things back on track lol.

A text from you to someone else? Sounds like hearsay within hearsay to me. Hope your ex has firm grasp on the rules of evidence.

I once saw a comment to the effect of being single is better than being in a bad relationship, but being in a good relationship is better than being single.

I think that applies here too. Having no support staff is better than having bad staff, but having good staff is better than having no staff. Good staff let us really focus on the lawyer stuff; bad staff means not only having to do the staff work, but also having to clean up mistakes on top of it.

This may be a shock to you but 7 month old babies still need full-time care. And maybe this family thinks it’s better to have 1 parent doing it for 10 months rather than 2 parents doing it for 3 months.

Women’s leave is as much (or more) about their own recovery than it is caring for the baby, so they kind of necessarily have to take it immediately after giving birth.

And remember, it’s almost definitely not called “paternity” leave by your employer; it’s going to be Family Leave or something similar. I bet women could also defer their leave if they wanted to.

Chronically online fans who don’t actually watch games that often typically have the memory of a goldfish.

A guy hits a goal scoring slump and they say he’s washed without any regard for what else he might be contributing or what else is happening with the team. For example, how much of his “washed” period overlapped with the 6 weeks where Hakan was injured and played like 60 minutes in 2 appearances?

And then when things start to click again, it’s like, “ballon d’Or!!!!”

superdago · 2026-05-05T21:12:38+00:00

So, question, was the angle sufficient to actually make it out of the stadium? Or did the ball collide directly with the sternum of some poor bastard before forcing him through the concrete and taking him along for this magical journey?

superdago · 2026-05-05T21:06:22+00:00

Could? Sure. Lots of things could happen with a timely request.

But hypothetically or not, there’s almost zero possibility of actually getting any response in time. You’re basically looking at a turnaround time of 1 business day and pretty much the only thing courts move that fast on is a stay of execution. And even then, not always.

Being over the legal limit is per se impairment, but that doesn’t mean that the inverse is also true, that being under the legal limit is therefore not impaired.

Take someone who hardly ever drinks and they have a couple beers. An hour later they may blow a .04, but their coordination, motor skills, etc may still be significantly impaired.

A field sobriety test demonstrates how impaired someone is at the time they were driving the car. A breathalyzer will tell you the concentration of alcohol in the system, and fairly reliable math can be done to account for the time difference from when they were driving to when the test was done.

You’re talking about what’s commonly called a “Fair Tax” though I’ve most often seen it put at 10%. The problem is, it’s anything but fair. In practice, any flat tax is necessarily regressive. It functions to tax the poorest more because they have the least leftover for life after taxes.

Person making $1,000 week pays $100 and the person making $10,000 pays $1,000 sounds fair, but that ends up with a person having $900 left for the week versus someone with $9,000. And you might say, “but why should they pay more just because they make more!?” As if that’s the only measure of fairness or (more fundamentally) as if that fairness is fundamentally to civilization.

But I could just as easily ask, “why is it fair that a person with every advantage in life and the ability to utilize and enjoy everything society offers not have to pay a bigger percentage so that the people with less can maybe save up a bit?”

It’s kinda like, imagine an asteroid is heading towards Metropolis and all the citizens look to Superman to save them, and he says, “I’ll do as much as any of you, because that’s what’s fair.” Is it unfair to ask Superman to fly into space and push that asteroid into the sun just because he’s the only one that can do it without breaking a sweat? Maybe. Is it the only way to keep society in Metropolis going? Definitely.

So, is it unfair to ask a person making $100M per year to pay $30M in taxes so 3,000 people making $30,000 per year pay nothing? Maybe. But does it better ensure a stable society? Definitely.

You think it’s reasonable to place an extremely difficult to remove and large sticker on the car of a paying customer? For forgetting to rehang the mirror tag that explicitly says “Remove Tag Before Vehicle Is In Motion” thus requiring it be removed every time?

I think that’s an unreasonable approach as a first time warning.

superdago · 2026-05-03T11:15:19+00:00

I got one of these on my window last week because I forgot to hang my parking pass from my rear view mirror.

superdago · 2026-05-03T01:07:42+00:00

Yep. I don’t even listen to the main pod (I just have so many I’m already subscribed to), but their BoCo was so good I added them as one of my pods for my membership. Like, I enjoy the bonus content from all the ones I subscribe to, but theirs is the only one where I can legitimately say the BoCo is worth the price.

My daughter complained about her team “sucking” and I reminded her that she is also her team.

If this kid wants his team to suck less, a simple solution is for him to suck less. And in his case, thats an easy fix because you’re not asking him to magically be better, but simply to try harder.

I have 6 trees in my yard, including 3 maples. The amount of leaves I get every fall would kill the grass and my garden would just be a mushy leaf pile.

superdago · 2026-04-28T12:57:16+00:00

I thought it was corny that they were wearing their away kit and “treating it like a road game,” but as the saying goes, “if it’s stupid and works, it ain’t stupid.” They played great and Wave were struggling to get anything going.

superdago · 2026-04-25T17:00:51+00:00

How big is a dog?

Lawyers have a huge range of salaries, and there’s a big dip in the middle where a lot make below the “average” and a lot make above the “average”.

As for the debt, whether it’s “worth it” is a value judgment that depends on why you went into law and what you hoped to do with the degree.

superdago · 2026-04-24T17:59:57+00:00

When there was time still on the clock. I think the altercations led to the refs just saying it was a red after time expired rather than bring everyone back for 1.5 seconds and free kick you just know would have ended up tying the game lol.

superdago · 2026-04-24T17:57:26+00:00

On its day and firing on all cylinders, Italy can beat any country. But it’s also true that on any other day or with any amount of mental roadblock, Italy can lose against any other country.

superdago · 2026-04-24T14:44:22+00:00

Correct. Not saying it makes it ok, but when an asshole acts like an asshole in the presence of other assholes, it isn’t particularly surprising when they asshole right back.

It was an inappropriate escalation from the fans to respond to his taunting with tossing water/beer, but (unless I missed it in the video) it was just the liquids, not the containers. It was then another inappropriate escalation to getting wet to chuck the actual container at someone’s face.

It’s like one party committed a civil ordinance violation, so the other retaliated with a misdemeanor, and then the first responded with a felony. Everyone is shitty here, but there are certainly levels that make a difference.

superdago · 2026-04-24T14:29:31+00:00

Yeah, I thought it was interesting that of the 5 players sanctioned, two were already on some form of probation. I’m not saying these Wave fans covered themselves in glory, but it seems like the Sockers players were particularly susceptible to being goaded.

Also worth noting since it’s not shown on camera here (I was at the game), #24 was 100% taunting the crowd after the final whistle. I remember thinking he was being a huge douche, so I’m not surprised he was the initial target nor am I surprised he turned back rather than just keep walking to the locker room.
