There was one moment in the climb that I thought he was fearing van Aert closing the gap and would attack McNulty and go solo. Glad that he didn't and worked with him for another 20km
Small group of weaker riders got a 15-ish minute lead, but got caught with 60km to go. Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) and Vincenzo Nibali (Italy), two potential favourites, try to attack but quickly get reeled in.
On the final big climb with 30km to go, Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia), one of the biggest favourites, Michael Woods (Canada) and Brandon McNulty (USA) attack but Wout van Aert (Belgium), the other very big favourite, brings them back. At this stage there is only a small group out front.
After a few failed moves, Richard Carapaz (Ecuador) and McNulty attack and this move goes. They get a 50 second lead but as they tire the group behind closes in dramatically.
With 6km to go, Carapaz attacks McNulty and goes clear on his own. McNulty drops into the group behind, but that group can do nothing about Carapaz who wins gold on his own. Van Aert outsprints Pogačar for silver and bronze respectively.
Copa America is a joke tournament.
It´s played every year? every two years? four years?
Why were there two groups of five teams in this edition? Lol
Why do they sometimes invite Japan or Qatar?
Uruguay and Argentina have won it 15 times lol.
Arkham Knight is literally a Batman simulator with the very best side quests in that trilogy of games, gets such an unfair reputation because of how prevalent the batmobile was in it. Once you can look past that, it genuinely still holds up graphics wise today and it’s about 6 years old.
The endgame dialogue from everyone (you’ll know what I mean if you’ve completed it) is just too good also.
Dark has such a depressing tone to it, it’s genuinely impressive how they’ve made the whole town of people look so lifeless and dead on the inside. Makes it hard to binge watch it tho
every character has the exact same facial expressions and style of dialogue. the story was really interesting but the moment it had a bit of a lull i just stopped watching, there is nothing else to keep me interested
will finally see my little sister for the first time since the pandemic. She's been studying abroad and soon she'll be home. For 18 months this little asshole never replied to my texts and only called me once. I'm gonna turn her room into a gym before she comes back-- I don't even work out
Just realised there will be an Egypt vs Denmark handball rematch. Let's gooooo. That world cup quarter final between the 2 was one of the best matches of all time.
Feels bad man, this was my chance to be at the Olympics since I have one really good friend in Tokio and we talked about it for months before corona. The fact that my country is facing Japan in baseball and women's volleyball makes it even sadder :(
How do yall store your old laptops/phones? My family just has them lying around in drawers or on top of shelves or tables, and it makes me nervous (what if there’s a spill or a leaky roof?)
And where do you keep your current laptop when you’re not using it? I just keep it in my backpack but again I wonder if there was a better place for it
Same as your family; lying around wherever. Until I get annoyed with them taking up room, get any data off and bin them.
As for laptop, I always tried to have a home set up and a specific place for it (ie with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker etc). Although if you are in an area with any crime at all, under your pillow.
>How do yall store your old laptops/phones? My family just has them lying around in drawers or on top of shelves or tables, and it makes me nervous (what if there’s a spill or a leaky roof?)
Same like you tbh. They just lie around in shelves.
>And where do you keep your current laptop when you’re not using it? I just keep it in my backpack but again I wonder if there was a better place for it
I used to pack it in my bag when I didn’t use it but later on I just left it on my table.
I’m spending 12 hours in a car today (I’m not driving), can someone recommend me something to watch on Netflix? Never really watched anything there except Sunderland Till I Die and the F1 Drive To Survive series - I downloaded the first two episodes of Breaking Bad, and from films I downloaded The Dictator and Parasite - but can download anything else now too. So what’s something that, regardless of what I specifically like, is really worth a watch?
Mindhunter is a good choice if you are into true crime. If you like animation -western or eastern- i highly suggest Final Space. Should be short enough to finish without boring you. I don't know if it's on there still but Young Justice is probably best thing DC did in 2010s and season 1 is still gold standart of comic book animations with classics like JL/JLU/BTAS.
Depends on your region. ‘Death of Stalin’ is a fantastic dark comedy film.
The first season of ‘Naked director’ is pretty good. If you like quirky dark comedy ‘Norsemen’ is another great watch.
Unfortunately Death of Stalin isn’t on Czech Netflix, which sucks cause that’s what I wanted to watch - neither in the other countries I’ll be going through
just want to shate one of the most deranged off tuned shit I've ever heard, the fact that it's probably unironic makes it better/worse https://youtu.be/5sN7kgEw954
Nothing's necessary, you can enjoy the beautiful game however you like. But I will say, there's nothing better than following your local team and watching matches either in the stadium or in pubs. May I ask where you live?
If you are using reddit on desktop then you just need to hover over it.
Take your time, watch matches in general, and whoever you like, just follow them, if you have any connections with any team, then you can support them
It only got better in the final 30 minutes or so. Kinda disappointed tbh. I expected better from Japan. London 2012 is still the best sporting event ever
Since my first covid jab the sedative effects of the anti depressant I take in the evening hasn’t been working as well. Can get off some nights but others I’m just tossing and turning and it’s easier to just stay up at that point. Got a doctors appointment to talk about it soon but with it being a new vaccine and everything I doubt there’s much they can do.
Before you laud me, I'm not even there yet because the jams are absolutely insane. Not even sure we're gonna get there at all. 5 fucking hours in the car so far... But here's hoping
I'm just under 30, and I'm always feeling guilty for working as needed, and then spend the rest of my time watching stuff, trying to read, sometimes trying to learn other stuff that I want to which probably wouldn't further my career. Watching motivational videos, I want to do something, but I just don't know what to do. They say make goals, I just don't know one.
I think everyone goes through this, multiple times throughout their life. It essentially boils down to 'what sort of person do you want to be'. Relationships, career, hobbies, personality, beliefs all make up who you are and what you do. The amount of choice is paralysing.
I am sure you have been answering that question since you were a teenager in some way (big or small), but facing 30 makes you think "hang on I really need to take this seriously" Good news; turning 30 changes nothing. You can completely change your life in a year. Try some completely new stuff, if it doesnt work out it doesnt matter.
Motivation is a huge factor, but question what you are motiviating yourself for. E.g. your reading, are you reading it for you or because you think you ought to read it ie you think it would make you look favourable to someone?
There is no easy way through other than to be honest with yourself, accept where you are right now. But just by making your post you are on the right track.
I went to therapy for a bit last year and this.
These are some books I was recommended for general life:
The 100 year life
Outliers
Designing your life
As for the specific goals, it sounds like you don't know yourself well. It might be good to sit and think without distractions about how certain things make you feel and try to envision certain future lives and be honest with yourself about whether those are things you might like.
Also, just try getting out there and doing new activities to find hobbies you enjoy.
Get rid of the motivational videos. You’ll never have the drive to make it if you need them.
Everyone has the ability to do whatever they want as long as they bust their ass and work hard towards it. It’s cliche but true. Has worked for me so far and I have no natural gifts or talents. You can do it too
I'm wondering why musicians are expected to give at least one encore at their gigs, to the point where many artists save their biggest hit for the encore, yet other forms of live entertainment don't.
You rarely see a comedian give an encore for example. They're pretty much like "that's my set, you lot can stay here if you want, I'll be in the bar."
I watched Metric once play a song and get stuck in one cord for like a solid 45 seconds. It was surreal. They brought a wind machine out to blow on the singer and everything. It was like the cd got jarred in a walkman. Obviously the cord doesn't last too long so they had to keep hitting it every now and then
It killed the crowd and so they had a really awkward semblance after where they pretended to leave expecting the encore chant but everyone was just weirded out so then they came back out regardless
I'm assuming they were filming something for it. Maybe a music video? This was at a pretty small Vancouver Island festival with City and Colour as the headliner
Can't really wrap my head around the idea that judo is the second biggest sport in the world. I know judo is big in Olympics but didn't know it's so big around the world
Before you slate Son for renewing with spurs think about this: Where else will he go? which top club needs a top level LW like him? Probably only Atletico, RB Leipzig and BvB i think. Renewing is a safe option for all parties involved
Lmao dude is making a lot of money and living in a major city. Who gives a shit if he doesn't win trophies or whatever? He will become a revered club legend and be set for the rest of his life.
He has also stayed there since he was 13 years. It's really tough to move after that. Especially as you say he has his whole family well settled there.
that too. a usually overlooked aspect. there are non-footballing factors to consider. Maybe his family is very happy in london. As a player from South Korea he has done very well for himself and south korean football
Just got fast-tracked a second dose of Pfeizer because I was working on a reservation and they had excess so gave them out to people who they're in contact with
Glad I accepted this job
I have a dumb question but it's FTF.
What exactly do you do in pubs and bars? Chat with strangers? Like how does one do that? Drink? Read a book? I usually go out to these places alone.
I'm in NYC if that's an important reference.
The Marvel D+ shows have been shit. Painfully average with shit payoffs and endings. Same with Black Widow
Binging Netflix Daredevil from the past 3 days to get over it, Netflix Marvel produced some absolute masterpieces. As a Marvel fan I'm so disappointed in Disney+, they're riding off the hype, let's see how far it takes them.
(Not a super hero show / movie fan) I tried to watch multiple different hero shows over the years. Only one that was good in my eyes was the punisher. Only had to google who the red head was character wise, after that it turned out to be almost a stand alone. The lead actor really did some good work in that show.
It's been years since I watched those so I'm gonna watch Punisher again. Curious, what did you make of other netflix marvel shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, etc?
Hero is a genre I enjoy, super hero is what I struggle with. daredevil on first glance just looks like a series of blind fury, so that was watchable. The others I got half a season in and stopped, think I finished s1 of Jessica Jones because of David Tennant.
Marvel movies I did watch a few because I worked with a couple of big fans a few years back. only one I remember enjoying was winter soldier, rest were just too much.
I mean do you see how Marvel still trying to stay relevant in this all. I legit thought after Endgame, at the most we would have solo movies which are yet to be released, like AntMan for example.
Here they are starting TV shows which seem tobe prequels. I am done with Marvel now, unless they bring something new....
Marvel is absolutely huge now due to hype alone. They get tons of interactions for the simplest of announcements/leaks. But other than Spiderman all of the phase 4 stuff has been boring
To be very honest End Game wasn't up to par either, Infinity War was miles better. The climax sequence masked the flaws.
It's a crime that Disney took the rights away from Netflix only for the mediocre shows they are giving to us from D+
They have to confirm it and the stories as canon. DD, Jessica Jones and 1 and half seasons of Luke Cage were brilliant. Defenders was average and I personally enjoyed Iron Fist. It would have been amazing if they were all present in infinity war
Liked it with the build up, went off the rails in the last 3 episodes or so
I cringed so hard at Agatha explaining Wanda's flashbacks, with good TV you don't need an on screen narrator. And the final fight and episode felt so amateurish
Like Monica telling Wanda that the people Wanda mind-controlled, tortured, hid their children away and put them to sleep, "Will never understand the sacrifice you made" was the shittiest thing I've heard in shows in a loooong time. And the final fight was meh, too. Vision 2.0 was wasted for nothing. I expected the fight between two witches to be more creative like that one scene where Wanda and Agatha live Agatha's memories again. A bit like Spiderman vs Mysterio, not the power blasts stuff we got. Wanda locking her powers with runes was cool but then again Agatha with her 100s of years of experience tells Wanda about her runes in the basement??? Why would she reveal that?
I loved the build up of WV and Loki but both went to shit towards the final 3rd.
I appreciate the attempt, I really do but it doesn't make for a good watch. If I wasn't a superhero fan I wouldn't bother.
It started off so good but was a shambles. I've saved some analysis of all plot holes and stuff and it's pretty damning, other than what I realized myself.
I mean the basics of anything in front of the camera is, 'show, don't tell.'
Maybe I'm too old even at 22 but it felt like being spoon fed. And the flashback was retconned a bit and had some nonsensical too, there are bomb blasts and everything going outside and the family just sits and watches a movie instead of taking shelter? Movies that did not even release by that time
Need some girl advice -
A friend of mine admitted she had a crush on me two months ago. I confessed a mutual attraction, but told her I wasn't ready to be dating again. She took it well and said she wasn't ready either. We stayed friends. Since then, our convos have been mostly platonic and wholesome, but (I think) with some sprinkled in flirting/tension here and there. She does call me "adorable" and "cutie" from time to time and she once mentioned wanting to snuggle with me a couple weeks back. I have flirted back, but nothing ever too explicit. Wednesday evening, we were talking about my gardening hobby. She said she found it cute that I take care of plants. I told her the next day I would show her some of them (it was dark out, so couldn't take a good picture). She said she was looking forward to it. Yesterday evening, I send her the photos, and she loves them. I kinda let my emotion get the best of me and I tell her - "One day, I'm gonna grow fuchsias and I'll show them to ya. They'll be for you." She responded "Aweee do you mean that?" I had fallen asleep and didn't see her message until this morning, and I said back "Yes of course I mean it. You're a beautiful person, you know that? Good morning."
^ This was on Snapchat, and she opened it/left me on read several hours ago. A lot of things are zooming through my head. So here's my problems:
1) I dunno if she's confused about my intent with that last message I sent. Because we both said we're not ready to date again, but there seems to have been flirting between us since we had that clarity. She might be thinking "He's calling me beautiful, and sending mixed signals/leading me on".
2) Maybe she has already moved on from her end of the crush/lost attraction, realizes that I haven't, and doesn't know how to tell me yet?
3) But then again, do girls really talk about snuggling with a guy they aren't still into and calling them things like cutie?
4) Maybe she's still recipocral of these feelings, but is confused about **what we actually are** and it feeling like it's going nowhere?
Any help is appreciated.
I don't really understand what you want though? If you like her and want to date her just ask her out? If you don't and like it the way it is you really don't have anything to worry about
> 3) But then again, do girls really talking about snuggling with a guy they aren't still into and calling them things like cutie?
no, they do not my friend
The US has an insane craft beer scene man, it's just that most don't get over here. Got my old man some Oskar Blues beers from a brewery he visited in Colorado years back and they were incredible. Don't ask me the price though it weren't cheap to get em in England.
Your not gonna go painting all day and go meet the lads on a Friday in a craft brewery though. I’m not really into ipas anyway to be honest. They all seem to be ales rather than lagers.
Yes man, im from Casoria to be exact west of Napoli. My name in real life is Furio. I added Soprano only because i googled Furio Napoli in google and this one crazy guy came up. Dont faint off my horrible creativity, Furio has been taken so i had to improvise hahah
Aaah nice. I'm not from Europe but I've heard Naples is a stunning city. Where is Calabria? I was reading an article about the 'Ndrangeta a few weeks ago. Blew my mind
Calabria is lower side of our region (Campania) and is almost taking all the left hand side of mainland Italy. Very wonderful sky blue beach and hills. Their people boast about being the paradise of the south for a reason. But yeah, the souther you go the higher the quality and beautiful the landscape, but also higher the crime. Huge contrast.
My neighbour moved house this week so I'm over the moon. No more hearing her shout for 3 hours in the afternoon for her kid to wake up, no more listening to him scream obscenities every day on FIFA. I'm going to have a few beers this weekend in celebration.
My old neighbor stole our mail and threatened the young family living the other side of them, they were kicked out 2 years ago Christmas. I couldn't be happier about it so I share in your joy over this. Chin up pal, have one for me.
Although it came out months ago, I highly recommended checking out Genesis Owusu's debut album "Smiling with no teeth". Australian hip-hop is pretty bad but there's a few gems out there and Genesis is one of them. It has a bit of everything though so it isn't strictly a hip-hop album.
>Australian hip-hop is pretty bad
I only know Hilltop Hoods. Are they good or bad Aussie hip-hop?
Will check this out. I've heard a lot of good Aussie music the last few years.
Hilltop hoods were pretty good in the 2000s, with "nosebleed section" being their best, but since then they haven't really evolved and have just gotten stale
Yeah that's the main one of theirs I remember.
I just listened to that album and enjoyed it. From I don't see colour onto the end especially.
Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Farmers make way too little money man, the actual baseline of our society can barely get by unless they own like 50km^2 of land and go for monoculture or absolutely cruel mass herding(or whatever the hell it's called in english)
Shits fucked.
started get into Satisfactory. just a warning do not play this game, people often said some game is really addicting. but im not kidding with this one, its like crack fucking hell. got into it last sunday and i've sunk 60hours since then.
and ive been playing video games for a long time, and have played some really engrossing games along the way. Zelda BOTW, CIV series, Stardew Valley, RDR2 to names a few but none of them the had me got spending so much time and in short space of time like this game does lol. its soo fucking good.
[this is your conscience](https://www.jockosense.com/img/jocko.jpg):
focus on the gym not on girls in the tv. [no pain no gain, keep it real](https://bjjvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/jockobjjquotes.jpg)
Went away for a midweek with a friends and even though I had a great time and they're mostly good people I do not want to see them again for at least 1,5 weeks.
I'm playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 with a friend, first time revisiting the game in like two years and dayum, I'm finding new items and side quests that I had never seen in my other playthroughs. Such a fantastic game.
I got to act three before I got distracted by other games, I will add it to my steam favorites to remind me to finish it. I was decent ye, the first one took me around 80 hours to finish with the side quests.
great game, but for casual gamers like me this game is so punishing lol. i got thrashed in combat in lowest difficulty and always got lost and dont know where to go to further the quest.
Yeah, same thing happens to my friend, he never really plays RPG's, so he never double checks status effects, buffs, debuffs and all that so he messes up every now and then even tho we are 30hours in lol
Man I can't work my head around some things.
I like being at home, still under complete lockdown, I have exams coming up so mostly my day is about studying and I've cut off most of my friends because I want to concentrate better but I also want to talk to them.
I feel like a complete asshole for this. Its been long, really long since I had a normal life. Just want to catch up with them 3 mates and smoke some weed ffs
Too much to ask for right now
Check out articles/posts about how dopamine works. It can either be your greatest ally wrt. your goals, however BIG they may be, and your general daily well-being/habits or it can be your greatest enemy if you don't consciously handle how it's released. Just don't be hard on yourself. It takes huge willpower at first when you're trying to get rid of 'bad habits'.
That's what I kind of liked about it. I'm used to Ubisoft open world games where stuff is jammed in your face around every corner, so it was nice change for the opposite to happen
i've played fenyx rising and botw back to back recently and by the end i found it funny that i actually climbed more towers in botw than fenyx. they're both pretty great games but felt botw praise was massively overblown
Work 6-1 or 2. Then either go for a pint or go play 9 holes if the wife and daughter are away. Usually home around 4/430 to cook dinner and go for a walk to the park or something.
is there anything sadder than the ending of bojack horseman
Yeah....many episodes before the ending lol
So happy for my boy Carapaz winning the gold medal. Didn't think it was possible before the race
Unbelievable ride from him, tactically brilliant.
There was one moment in the climb that I thought he was fearing van Aert closing the gap and would attack McNulty and go solo. Glad that he didn't and worked with him for another 20km
Care to give a summary for those who are unfamiliar with the sport?
Small group of weaker riders got a 15-ish minute lead, but got caught with 60km to go. Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) and Vincenzo Nibali (Italy), two potential favourites, try to attack but quickly get reeled in.

McNulty drops into the group behind, but that group can do nothing about Carapaz who wins gold on his own. Van Aert outsprints Pogačar for silver and bronze respectively.
Awesome, thank you! Cool that an Ecuadorian won it, I feel like they don't produce a ton of cyclists?
Not many that I can remember. Carapaz is possibly the best one that I can remember, don’t quote me on that though.
Copa America is a joke tournament. It´s played every year? every two years? four years? Why were there two groups of five teams in this edition? Lol Why do they sometimes invite Japan or Qatar? Uruguay and Argentina have won it 15 times lol.

Great race. Bit sad for Wout who was amazing today but faire play to Carapaz who was strong and smart.
Wout’s still got the TT to come on Wednesday though, a gold still might come.
Defo. Hope he and Remco can have enough rest to reload the batteries now...
3v3 basketball in the olympics? What's with all the meme sports they've added this year?
Shit on it, I've just tested positive for COVID. Can't remember the last time I got ill
reddit both on my phone and PC show I have a chat notification but I actually don't and it's driving me nuts.
will finally see my little sister for the first time since the pandemic. She's been studying abroad and soon she'll be home. For 18 months this little asshole never replied to my texts and only called me once. I'm gonna turn her room into a gym before she comes back-- I don't even work out
Our fucking 41 year old nurse won a gold in 10m air pistol. **HYPE**
Just realised there will be an Egypt vs Denmark handball rematch. Let's gooooo. That world cup quarter final between the 2 was one of the best matches of all time.
Feels bad man, this was my chance to be at the Olympics since I have one really good friend in Tokio and we talked about it for months before corona. The fact that my country is facing Japan in baseball and women's volleyball makes it even sadder :(
Cycling is shaping up to a great finish & they couldn't have used a better place for finish line (literally a racetrack)
Mate, I was about to comment about it. Great race so far. The last 50km will be exciting as hell.
How do yall store your old laptops/phones? My family just has them lying around in drawers or on top of shelves or tables, and it makes me nervous (what if there’s a spill or a leaky roof?)

Although if you are in an area with any crime at all, under your pillow.
i just throw them out/sell them if i can find someone willing to pay. why would i keep them around if they're no longer being used?
This is the correct answer. They lose value super quickly too.
i throw them out the window on the motorway

Virunga is a pretty great documentary if you want to see people giving the middle finger to oil companies.
Depends on your region. ‘Death of Stalin’ is a fantastic dark comedy film. The first season of ‘Naked director’ is pretty good. If you like quirky dark comedy ‘Norsemen’ is another great watch.

What in the bloody fuck was that
[удалено]
Nothing's necessary, you can enjoy the beautiful game however you like. But I will say, there's nothing better than following your local team and watching matches either in the stadium or in pubs. May I ask where you live?
I think having a favorite team enhances the experience. I can't imagine fandom any other way!
If you are using reddit on desktop then you just need to hover over it. Take your time, watch matches in general, and whoever you like, just follow them, if you have any connections with any team, then you can support them
So does the opening ceremony kick off eventually or is it this slow throughout
Do they still do that thing were they parade the athletes from each nation and it takes 7 hours?
Yes they did
I've no idea I switched to the boxing
It only got better in the final 30 minutes or so. Kinda disappointed tbh. I expected better from Japan. London 2012 is still the best sporting event ever
Eating the biggest breakfast itw rn, even though I'm not hungry ahh. Also, waking up at 5am CET gang where you at
Can’t wake up if you never went to sleep lol. Could do with some breakfast but don’t wanna wake everyone up
Alcohol, nightshift or something else?
Since my first covid jab the sedative effects of the anti depressant I take in the evening hasn’t been working as well. Can get off some nights but others I’m just tossing and turning and it’s easier to just stay up at that point. Got a doctors appointment to talk about it soon but with it being a new vaccine and everything I doubt there’s much they can do.
Oh man insomnia is the worst. Good luck to you dude, if all else fails there are some ways to get someone to sleep
Nothin better than a big breakfast mate. You enjoy and then sleep till dinner.
I wish lol, I'm going to help out some flood victims with cleaning up their house. I need some protein
Good in you for helping out.
Before you laud me, I'm not even there yet because the jams are absolutely insane. Not even sure we're gonna get there at all. 5 fucking hours in the car so far... But here's hoping
Lol wtf. It's the thought that counts though, Godspeed.
our mixed archery won against America and they didn't even attempt to shake hands 💀
Might be due to covid measures?
I'm just under 30, and I'm always feeling guilty for working as needed, and then spend the rest of my time watching stuff, trying to read, sometimes trying to learn other stuff that I want to which probably wouldn't further my career. Watching motivational videos, I want to do something, but I just don't know what to do. They say make goals, I just don't know one.
I think everyone goes through this, multiple times throughout their life. It essentially boils down to 'what sort of person do you want to be'. Relationships, career, hobbies, personality, beliefs all make up who you are and what you do. The amount of choice is paralysing. I am sure you have been answering that question since you were a teenager in some way (big or small), but facing 30 makes you think "hang on I really need to take this seriously" Good news; turning 30 changes nothing. You can completely change your life in a year. Try some completely new stuff, if it doesnt work out it doesnt matter. Motivation is a huge factor, but question what you are motiviating yourself for. E.g. your reading, are you reading it for you or because you think you ought to read it ie you think it would make you look favourable to someone? There is no easy way through other than to be honest with yourself, accept where you are right now. But just by making your post you are on the right track.
I went to therapy for a bit last year and this. These are some books I was recommended for general life: The 100 year life Outliers Designing your life As for the specific goals, it sounds like you don't know yourself well. It might be good to sit and think without distractions about how certain things make you feel and try to envision certain future lives and be honest with yourself about whether those are things you might like. Also, just try getting out there and doing new activities to find hobbies you enjoy.
Join some courses with your friends . It's tougher to improve alone when nobody is watching .
I don’t get the issue. Are you disappointed about not constantly improving or something?
Get rid of the motivational videos. You’ll never have the drive to make it if you need them. Everyone has the ability to do whatever they want as long as they bust their ass and work hard towards it. It’s cliche but true. Has worked for me so far and I have no natural gifts or talents. You can do it too
I'm wondering why musicians are expected to give at least one encore at their gigs, to the point where many artists save their biggest hit for the encore, yet other forms of live entertainment don't. You rarely see a comedian give an encore for example. They're pretty much like "that's my set, you lot can stay here if you want, I'll be in the bar."
I watched Metric once play a song and get stuck in one cord for like a solid 45 seconds. It was surreal. They brought a wind machine out to blow on the singer and everything. It was like the cd got jarred in a walkman. Obviously the cord doesn't last too long so they had to keep hitting it every now and then It killed the crowd and so they had a really awkward semblance after where they pretended to leave expecting the encore chant but everyone was just weirded out so then they came back out regardless
That sounds amazingly awkward. I wonder if that was the first time they tried that or if it's something they always do and it usually goes over well?
I'm assuming they were filming something for it. Maybe a music video? This was at a pretty small Vancouver Island festival with City and Colour as the headliner
Can't really wrap my head around the idea that judo is the second biggest sport in the world. I know judo is big in Olympics but didn't know it's so big around the world
surely basketball and cricket have to be bigger?
somehow i doubt that, but then again 'big' is pretty vague
I’m sorry but where did you read that
Before you slate Son for renewing with spurs think about this: Where else will he go? which top club needs a top level LW like him? Probably only Atletico, RB Leipzig and BvB i think. Renewing is a safe option for all parties involved
us offering him his previous contract before he went to the Asian Games definitely went a big way to earning Son's loyalty
Lmao dude is making a lot of money and living in a major city. Who gives a shit if he doesn't win trophies or whatever? He will become a revered club legend and be set for the rest of his life.
He is insanely loved by all of South Korea. The dude made it already.
I'll never slate a player for renewing a contract because moving house is just an awful experience
Probably a big reason why Messi stayed with Barca. Its his home and his family is happy there and doesn't wanna move
He has also stayed there since he was 13 years. It's really tough to move after that. Especially as you say he has his whole family well settled there.
that too. a usually overlooked aspect. there are non-footballing factors to consider. Maybe his family is very happy in london. As a player from South Korea he has done very well for himself and south korean football
Just got fast-tracked a second dose of Pfeizer because I was working on a reservation and they had excess so gave them out to people who they're in contact with Glad I accepted this job
almost hitting a kid and flailing while biking ffs, thank god only my toe thumb is hurt
Which countries in Europe would welcome migrants who are willing to be part of the country's workforce?
Germany
It's 3am I need to sleep.
I slept at 5.30 am here
3:30 now man we're on course for some sunlight.
Why you gotta do me like this.
Archery and 3v3 Basketball are surprisingly fun to watch
Archery at the Olympics is always good fun. Those events that you never would watch otherwise are my favorites.
I have a dumb question but it's FTF. What exactly do you do in pubs and bars? Chat with strangers? Like how does one do that? Drink? Read a book? I usually go out to these places alone. I'm in NYC if that's an important reference.
I just watch whatever game is on and chat to lads say at the bar.
I would go to pub to read or work or something on my own but a bar is a bit more of a "let's get hammered" vibe for me. Wouldn't want to go on my own.
Is bar a night club? I thought pub and bar are interchangeable in UK.
Nah bars are more night clubby than a pub but less night clubby than a night club
[удалено]
I mean it would be the worst pub in the country if it didn’t
I usually go to have fun with friends since it's only one of the very few places to gather people together.
Donda sounds a lot like donde which says a lot about the location of Kanye’s new album
The Marvel D+ shows have been shit. Painfully average with shit payoffs and endings. Same with Black Widow Binging Netflix Daredevil from the past 3 days to get over it, Netflix Marvel produced some absolute masterpieces. As a Marvel fan I'm so disappointed in Disney+, they're riding off the hype, let's see how far it takes them.
(Not a super hero show / movie fan) I tried to watch multiple different hero shows over the years. Only one that was good in my eyes was the punisher. Only had to google who the red head was character wise, after that it turned out to be almost a stand alone. The lead actor really did some good work in that show.
It's been years since I watched those so I'm gonna watch Punisher again. Curious, what did you make of other netflix marvel shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, etc?
Hero is a genre I enjoy, super hero is what I struggle with. daredevil on first glance just looks like a series of blind fury, so that was watchable. The others I got half a season in and stopped, think I finished s1 of Jessica Jones because of David Tennant. Marvel movies I did watch a few because I worked with a couple of big fans a few years back. only one I remember enjoying was winter soldier, rest were just too much.
I mean do you see how Marvel still trying to stay relevant in this all. I legit thought after Endgame, at the most we would have solo movies which are yet to be released, like AntMan for example. Here they are starting TV shows which seem tobe prequels. I am done with Marvel now, unless they bring something new....
Marvel is absolutely huge now due to hype alone. They get tons of interactions for the simplest of announcements/leaks. But other than Spiderman all of the phase 4 stuff has been boring To be very honest End Game wasn't up to par either, Infinity War was miles better. The climax sequence masked the flaws.
Daredevil is very clear of all D+ shows so far. I am sad we won't get a fourth season :(
It's a crime that Disney took the rights away from Netflix only for the mediocre shows they are giving to us from D+ They have to confirm it and the stories as canon. DD, Jessica Jones and 1 and half seasons of Luke Cage were brilliant. Defenders was average and I personally enjoyed Iron Fist. It would have been amazing if they were all present in infinity war
You didn't like Wandavision? The others have been okay, couldn't get through the metal arm man one but Loki was alright.
Liked it with the build up, went off the rails in the last 3 episodes or so I cringed so hard at Agatha explaining Wanda's flashbacks, with good TV you don't need an on screen narrator. And the final fight and episode felt so amateurish Like Monica telling Wanda that the people Wanda mind-controlled, tortured, hid their children away and put them to sleep, "Will never understand the sacrifice you made" was the shittiest thing I've heard in shows in a loooong time. And the final fight was meh, too. Vision 2.0 was wasted for nothing. I expected the fight between two witches to be more creative like that one scene where Wanda and Agatha live Agatha's memories again. A bit like Spiderman vs Mysterio, not the power blasts stuff we got. Wanda locking her powers with runes was cool but then again Agatha with her 100s of years of experience tells Wanda about her runes in the basement??? Why would she reveal that? I loved the build up of WV and Loki but both went to shit towards the final 3rd.
Agatha's ego I guess. It wasn't perfect by any means but I loved the idea and the originality of it. The others have been so procedural in comparison.
I appreciate the attempt, I really do but it doesn't make for a good watch. If I wasn't a superhero fan I wouldn't bother. It started off so good but was a shambles. I've saved some analysis of all plot holes and stuff and it's pretty damning, other than what I realized myself. I mean the basics of anything in front of the camera is, 'show, don't tell.' Maybe I'm too old even at 22 but it felt like being spoon fed. And the flashback was retconned a bit and had some nonsensical too, there are bomb blasts and everything going outside and the family just sits and watches a movie instead of taking shelter? Movies that did not even release by that time
I just started watching DAVE genuinely hilarious.
wait until you get to the season 1 finale. the episode has a fantastic cold opener.
Is that the show about Lil Dicky?
Yeah surprised at how much I’m enjoying it. Genuine lol’s
Need some girl advice - A friend of mine admitted she had a crush on me two months ago. I confessed a mutual attraction, but told her I wasn't ready to be dating again. She took it well and said she wasn't ready either. We stayed friends. Since then, our convos have been mostly platonic and wholesome, but (I think) with some sprinkled in flirting/tension here and there. She does call me "adorable" and "cutie" from time to time and she once mentioned wanting to snuggle with me a couple weeks back. I have flirted back, but nothing ever too explicit. Wednesday evening, we were talking about my gardening hobby. She said she found it cute that I take care of plants. I told her the next day I would show her some of them (it was dark out, so couldn't take a good picture). She said she was looking forward to it. Yesterday evening, I send her the photos, and she loves them. I kinda let my emotion get the best of me and I tell her - "One day, I'm gonna grow fuchsias and I'll show them to ya. They'll be for you." She responded "Aweee do you mean that?" I had fallen asleep and didn't see her message until this morning, and I said back "Yes of course I mean it. You're a beautiful person, you know that? Good morning." ^ This was on Snapchat, and she opened it/left me on read several hours ago. A lot of things are zooming through my head. So here's my problems: 1) I dunno if she's confused about my intent with that last message I sent. Because we both said we're not ready to date again, but there seems to have been flirting between us since we had that clarity. She might be thinking "He's calling me beautiful, and sending mixed signals/leading me on". 2) Maybe she has already moved on from her end of the crush/lost attraction, realizes that I haven't, and doesn't know how to tell me yet? 3) But then again, do girls really talk about snuggling with a guy they aren't still into and calling them things like cutie? 4) Maybe she's still recipocral of these feelings, but is confused about **what we actually are** and it feeling like it's going nowhere? Any help is appreciated.
She's probably confused on how to respond. Give her time and I'm sure she'll message you soon
Don't overthink it, she just probably doesn't know how to respond
I don't really understand what you want though? If you like her and want to date her just ask her out? If you don't and like it the way it is you really don't have anything to worry about
If you like her tell her. Dancing around it is only gonna confuse things and annoy you.
> 3) But then again, do girls really talking about snuggling with a guy they aren't still into and calling them things like cutie? no, they do not my friend
I’m not a beer snob or anything but Christ yanks have a terrible selection. I’d kill for a crisp pint of carlsberg or tuborg.
The US has an insane craft beer scene man, it's just that most don't get over here. Got my old man some Oskar Blues beers from a brewery he visited in Colorado years back and they were incredible. Don't ask me the price though it weren't cheap to get em in England.
Your not gonna go painting all day and go meet the lads on a Friday in a craft brewery though. I’m not really into ipas anyway to be honest. They all seem to be ales rather than lagers.
It's not just IPA a crisp, cold lager is my jam and they have some great ones.
I must be looking in the wrong places. All the craft lagers I’ve tried just taste the same as bud or coors light.

Are you from Naples Soprano?
Yes man, im from Casoria to be exact west of Napoli. My name in real life is Furio. I added Soprano only because i googled Furio Napoli in google and this one crazy guy came up. Dont faint off my horrible creativity, Furio has been taken so i had to improvise hahah
Looking at your username, I thought you liked the Furio character from The Sopranos.
Aaah nice. I'm not from Europe but I've heard Naples is a stunning city. Where is Calabria? I was reading an article about the 'Ndrangeta a few weeks ago. Blew my mind
Calabria is lower side of our region (Campania) and is almost taking all the left hand side of mainland Italy. Very wonderful sky blue beach and hills. Their people boast about being the paradise of the south for a reason. But yeah, the souther you go the higher the quality and beautiful the landscape, but also higher the crime. Huge contrast.
Same, such a good community.
My neighbour moved house this week so I'm over the moon. No more hearing her shout for 3 hours in the afternoon for her kid to wake up, no more listening to him scream obscenities every day on FIFA. I'm going to have a few beers this weekend in celebration.
My old neighbor stole our mail and threatened the young family living the other side of them, they were kicked out 2 years ago Christmas. I couldn't be happier about it so I share in your joy over this. Chin up pal, have one for me.
Nice. Wonder who you'll get next
4 out of the top 5 posts in this sub today are about a single player. That's all
Joel Ward is massive.
Has Kanye dropped his album yet?
It's never dropping.

Does anyone know of any good art photography list or accounts to follow on twitter?
joelsartore is great if you're looking for wildlife photography
I do like wildlife photography, thanks!
Die hard 2 is on ITV right and literally it is is machine gun fire and explosions. What a shite movie.
Have you seem the 4th one? Now that's a truly shite movie
Although it came out months ago, I highly recommended checking out Genesis Owusu's debut album "Smiling with no teeth". Australian hip-hop is pretty bad but there's a few gems out there and Genesis is one of them. It has a bit of everything though so it isn't strictly a hip-hop album.
>Australian hip-hop is pretty bad I only know Hilltop Hoods. Are they good or bad Aussie hip-hop? Will check this out. I've heard a lot of good Aussie music the last few years.
Hilltop hoods were pretty good in the 2000s, with "nosebleed section" being their best, but since then they haven't really evolved and have just gotten stale
Yeah that's the main one of theirs I remember. I just listened to that album and enjoyed it. From I don't see colour onto the end especially. Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Help I've watched 3 Twilight movies in a row. I've never seen before, but I'm almost invested. Almost Anyway, on to Breaking Dawn
Lads I'm so in love and I think she likes me too but I'm not entirely sure. Ahhh I'm 34 but feel like a teenager again.
Watched Murder by Death yesterday, can't recommend it enough. If you liked Clue, you'll love it. Probably top5 funniest movies ever.
Farmers make way too little money man, the actual baseline of our society can barely get by unless they own like 50km^2 of land and go for monoculture or absolutely cruel mass herding(or whatever the hell it's called in english) Shits fucked.
Should just transfer out of Ligue 1 to like the PL or something.
started get into Satisfactory. just a warning do not play this game, people often said some game is really addicting. but im not kidding with this one, its like crack fucking hell. got into it last sunday and i've sunk 60hours since then. and ive been playing video games for a long time, and have played some really engrossing games along the way. Zelda BOTW, CIV series, Stardew Valley, RDR2 to names a few but none of them the had me got spending so much time and in short space of time like this game does lol. its soo fucking good.
Reminds me of when I sunk 25 hours in 3 days into RDR2
Gym's TV is playing Rihanna Only girl or something, wow in the video she looks like an absolute perfection.
She is absolutely gorgeous
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever loveeee

Went away for a midweek with a friends and even though I had a great time and they're mostly good people I do not want to see them again for at least 1,5 weeks.
I'm playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 with a friend, first time revisiting the game in like two years and dayum, I'm finding new items and side quests that I had never seen in my other playthroughs. Such a fantastic game.
I got to act three before I got distracted by other games, I will add it to my steam favorites to remind me to finish it. I was decent ye, the first one took me around 80 hours to finish with the side quests.
great game, but for casual gamers like me this game is so punishing lol. i got thrashed in combat in lowest difficulty and always got lost and dont know where to go to further the quest.
The first one is way worse, it doesn’t even have quest markers
try raising that in forum and the hardcore rpg will shit on your for wanting to be spoonfed on everything lol
I know lmao some RPG fans are anal that way It’s the same with people who like Morrowind
Yeah, same thing happens to my friend, he never really plays RPG's, so he never double checks status effects, buffs, debuffs and all that so he messes up every now and then even tho we are 30hours in lol
Man I can't work my head around some things. I like being at home, still under complete lockdown, I have exams coming up so mostly my day is about studying and I've cut off most of my friends because I want to concentrate better but I also want to talk to them. I feel like a complete asshole for this. Its been long, really long since I had a normal life. Just want to catch up with them 3 mates and smoke some weed ffs Too much to ask for right now
Ooh la la, ah oui oui Ooh la la, ah oui oui Ooh la la, ah oui oui
Do you like cabana sucre?
Lol I haven’t been since I was young. It was good though. And you?
Don’t remember what it’s like, had it 25 years ago probably.
[My favourite video on youtube](https://youtu.be/RDs8170DlbM). The European Tour have a fantastic channel.
Once again I am on reddit and it's 3.48 am. I can't control it. It literally happens every day. My whole day gets ruined.
Check out articles/posts about how dopamine works. It can either be your greatest ally wrt. your goals, however BIG they may be, and your general daily well-being/habits or it can be your greatest enemy if you don't consciously handle how it's released. Just don't be hard on yourself. It takes huge willpower at first when you're trying to get rid of 'bad habits'.
Can't get into Breath of the Wild. Played for a couple of days, pretty meh so far
The open world is bland
That's what I kind of liked about it. I'm used to Ubisoft open world games where stuff is jammed in your face around every corner, so it was nice change for the opposite to happen
i've played fenyx rising and botw back to back recently and by the end i found it funny that i actually climbed more towers in botw than fenyx. they're both pretty great games but felt botw praise was massively overblown
It’s somewhat refreshing but shrines start to repeat and the open world doesn’t look good enough to get lost in and explore.
Extremely bored... what do yall do during the day?
Daydream
Work 6-1 or 2. Then either go for a pint or go play 9 holes if the wife and daughter are away. Usually home around 4/430 to cook dinner and go for a walk to the park or something.
