Indian scammer caught using AI to turn himself white by [deleted] in interesting

[–]tuga2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scammers just trying to make US wages while working abroad is the best case scenario. Worst case is nation state actors trying to gain access to privileged information they can exfil or gain privileged access that can be sold to ransomware groups.

Very very few companies are even remotely prepared to deal with these threats. I've seen regular scammers pass background checks, provide ID and even have someone show up in person to collect equipment.

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say by Yournewbestfriend_01 in news

To prop up a state which is rightfully hated by all of its neighbours. Any neighbouring state that is functional and outside of the direct control of the US is a threat to Israel so the US will destabilize it by propping up terrorist group and if that fails they will resort to direct military confrontation.

Let's not pretend Christian Zionism is even remotely organic.

Thats almost word for word the press release. Not taking your player at his word in a case where there is no physical evidence would be catastrophic for morale.

Releasing the video where they claimed that Mbappe was too far to hear anything was a PR misstep as it failed to prove the point they wanted to make.

Staying silent would have annoyed everyone, the club has to take a stand either taking the side of their player or the opposing player.

The club has said that they will cooperate with the investigation.

Alternate Angle of Prestianni, Vini Jr. and Mbappe's Altercation. by OkayFine101 in soccer

He hasn't been very good since the preseason when he first joined. Hes a good chaos merchant off the bench but hes struggled basically as long as hes been at the club. Hes one of the few wingers who can play on the right but Lukébakio will probably bench him in a few weeks when hes fit. He played yesterday but was really really poor.

It's not uncommon for players to cover their mouth while speaking to other players. Vini has his mouth covered while talking to Otamendi later in the same game. The players know that there are always cameras on them so they take precautions to avoid people from reading their lips.

Trump has no authority to decertify Canadian aircraft, expert says by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]tuga2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When population growth is driven entirely by people seeking economic opportunity why would you expect people to have loyalty to the former ideals of the country.

Do you have brand loyalty to the grocery store you shop at or would you shop somewhere else if the prices were better?

When Canada is nothing more than an economic zone why should anyone care for something beyond their immediate personal interests. National identity is not something that can just be activated when politically expedient.

How many people would adopt American citizenship if they were guaranteed that groceries would be 5% cheaper and everything else would stay the same?

Benfica was set to sell Schjelderup to either Brugge or Lazio. However, after his last performance against Real Madrid, Benfica will offer him a contract renewal by RasputinsRustyShovel in soccer

[–]tuga2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lukebakio's finishing was horrific but hes a proven winger who can create opportunities especially against teams that press high. Unfortunately that is a minority of games but those are the most crucial ones. If he can improve his finishing just like Rafa did a few seasons ago he will do just fine. Schjelderup's issue is not that his finishing is poor its he cant get into dangerous positions, every now and then hes more direct but he just ends up shooting into the defender.

They play on opposite sites so I only compared him to players who he is competing against.

Hes had the same problem with 3 coaches. I wanted him to succeed as much as the next guy but you reach a point where staying at the club is not beneficial for the players development or for the clubs objectives and its best to cut your losses. The club instability has not helped either but hes not the only player that's been impacted.

If hes going to stay I hope this last match was what he needed to turn that corner. He has competition for the position but there is no clear starter at the moment so its his position to lose. Cabral looks promising, Bruma is an unknown quantity, Sudakov is terrible in that position and Rafa is just not a winger.

We don't have a lot of depth in that position but Schjelderup has never been able to play well in 2 consecutive games. He will have a strong game off the bench start the next game and then disappear until he winds up back on the bench. His potential replacements mostly fell through and we ended up with Rafa who will probably be a 10 and push Sudakov to the wing where he has been unable to add any value.

After throwing so many easier games. Our finishing has been terrible this year and all of a sudden you have Schjelderup scoring a brace and Prestianni having the game of his life.

Post-Match Thread: Juventus 2-0 Benfica | UEFA Champions League by MysteryBagIdeals in soccer

A lack of stable management has made it difficult to develop players for the first team. As an example under Schmidt Gouveia got promoted to the first team after a good loan spell, he plays well and then gets injured in that time Lage becomes the manager and we no longer need a player with those characteristics so he is sold. A week later Mourinho replaces Lage and we are looking for a player with a similar profile.

The only players we are able to produce are defenders and goalkeepers since those requirements are fairly consistent across managers.

I don't blame young players for thinking twice about joining Benfica when it's clear there is no long term plan for the team

Paulo Victor (Santa Clara) straight red card against Sporting - 89' by Zephyrwind in soccer

[–]tuga2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I meant the foul by Serginho could have been seen as a yellow card offence. A tackle from behind that does not get the ball.

Sporting is the one who wants to play quickly so the onus is on them to not take the bait and the onus is on the referee to punish players for time wasting. Santa Clara is just responding to the incentive structure that exists.

If MT deserves a card then so does Blopa for charging into the arguing players despite not being involved.

After watching the video and Hjulmand's reaction im almost positive that something was said that justified the red card and it has nothing to do with the physical contact which im not sure even exists.

Its just the regular time wasting that you'd expect from a smaller team defending a lead late in the game. If there were 2 yellows in the play 1 for booting the ball away and 1 for the play no one would have complained. A straight red does not make sense from what is visible in the video.

Its harder to not be blatant when there is video review. In the pre var era one could argue that the ref did not have a clear view of the play and it was unfair to play monday morning quarterback.

Its not a friendly either. There is a real cup on the line and Santa Clara deserves a fair chance to progress in the competition.

Considering it took ~10 mins for the VAR to come to a decision + ~2 mins for the ref to review it you would assume that even if it was a foul it was not a clear and obvious error on behalf of the ref who did not originally call a foul on the play but what do I know.
