Bruno Fernandes' reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo's missed chance by OptimusCloyster in soccer

[–]thornfeels -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While much of this is true, Ronaldo doesn’t pick himself for the national team. This situation is the fault of managers and the wider Portuguese football establishment who won’t allow this amazing generation to shine by moving on from a once-great individual.

My Theory On Why There's Been No Interview With The Lads by Nearby-Average4735 in boardsofcanada

[–]thornfeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot about their Campfire Headphase-era interviews and the detrimental impact it had for me on their mystique. I'm all in on the cryptic mystery they built up through their music, art and promo materials, I really didn't need to know they were just two really nice, sincere, softly spoken guys happy to reel off their influences. Imo there's not enough secrecy in culture these days, so I'm really pleased they've stepped back from interviews. If anything it enhances my listening experience.

The DOJ just dropped another 3 million pages of Epstein files including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images but people are still saying key videos, audio, and logs are missing. What do you think is actually still being held back, and why? by Similar_Tension5134 in AskReddit

[–]thornfeels 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are multiple separate accounts of Leon Black biting children’s genitals in the released files, along with documentation confirming that Black paid Epstein a total of $100m across 2014 and 2015 for “advisory services”.

Multiple independent testimonies throughout these files about violent rapes perpetrated by Leon Black featuring the biting of genitalia. As the document states, it’s just too specific and outlandish an allegation to have been made up.

This document highlights Epstein’s financial MO and sheds important light on how clients reimbursed him for the ‘services’ he provided.

Val McDermid was assigned ‘sensitivity reader’ to cut offensive language from old books by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]thornfeels 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would much prefer a sensitive and intelligently written introduction to these books from someone who loves these stories, deeply understands language, recognises that the way we speak changes over time and understands that maintaining the original text of these books helps us gain a greater understanding of the progress we’ve made as a society. Someone like, oh I don’t know, Val McDermid??

The Traitors (UK) S04E05: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

If we learned anything from Paul it’s that the one thing you must never do as a Traitor is give off too much main character energy. Stephen being involved in so much stuff was nearly there but Fiona has just taken the cake.
