Already stopped watching football when Covid broke out and stadiums were empty. The quality of football was declining even before that, so Covid was a nice opportunity to ditch it alltogether. Witnessed the Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho era(s), the Galactico era with Zidane, Figo etc., the...

Here in Germany, they closed down 5000 ICU beds since last year. Now we have "code red" and additional measurements (testing required to enter certain places even when vaccinated) based on 3000 ICU covid patients in a rich 83 million country. The absurdity. Of course the pandemic will never end...

Shutting down football as it's just pointless entertainment that produces thousands and thousands hours of flights from stadium to stadium, fan travel, TV broadcasting, merchandising products and even fan pages like Redcafe that consume unnecessary energy with their server capacity, would be a...

Because, in simple terms, there is no sterile immunisation. Antibodies in your blood don't prevent an airborn virus to get into the mucous membrane of your upper respiratory tract and to continue spreading onto others from there. Or in Prof. Drosten's (Germany's Fauci if you don't know him)...

They played their part. Maybe I've also grown out of it by now but I can't stomach football anymore. Slave state dictators and oligarchs owning European clubs and throwing fantasy money into Twitch/TikTok generation manchildren like Neymar and MBappe. Can't take myself seriously being older...

Oh the sweet sweet irony of people who want to shame others for a holiday trip once a year yet contribute 20k posts on a forum to support a sports club where the teams flies around England/Europe every week so they can kick a ball somewhere away from home, including a baggage of fans that follow...

"Oh no, like 85 % of the world is part of a religious group, how can I possibly continue to live if I ever see a working person wear a symbol of their religion?" Saw a cashier wear the hijab last week at Tescos. Intimidated me so much, did not dare to buy pork ham. Unacceptable. Save us, EU.

Electric cars will do nothing of note for the environment, anyone with common sense knows what is going to happen. Once they are established, the gimmicks, the weight and the battery capacities will continue to grow to reach competitive advantage ("our model can do 1000 miles with a single...

Not everyone who refuses to vaccinate against Covid is a general "anti-vaxxer". Smallpox has a lethality of 30 %, even higher among small children and babies. With Covid over 40 % don't even notice that they have it and it mainly kills the 70+. For a healthy 29 year old the chance to die from...

It's an absurd myth that players like Messi generate hundreds of millions of additional revenue. Real Madrid didn't drop any revenues after Ronaldo left. Their operating income in 16/17 was 675 million Euros. In 19/20 it was 715 million Euros. Did not drop a dime. In the grand scheme of...

Rufflet is only available after a certain rank. When it initially was released, during the old ranking system, it was from rank 9 (2500 ELO) upwards. Right now it's for rank 20 (2000 ELO) if I'm not mistaken. Maybe that's why you didn't get it? Looking at my Pokedex now, I have seen and catched...

I mean, how is the rest of the game any more interesting? You literally catch the same Pokémon over and over again. During raids with 10 other people you can blindly tap on the phone for 1 minute with 6 Pidgeys on your team. Once in a while you catch a random useless shitty IV shiny Pokémon and...

Niantic are such an awful company. They do this kind of stuff all the time. Imagine advertising a discount on something but then raising the price beforehand on which the discount applies. Just WTF?! I was genuinely considering to quit the game for this scam, simply out of principle. GBL is...

Meh. The "Pep Guardiola is my idol" memes are really funny now and all. But if he stayed another 20 years at City while doing what he does now, racking up most of the domestic titles and eventually winning a CL final or two at some point in the next 2 decades, he would be pretty much City's SAF. 3/5 league...

A bit weird that the perpetrators can decide themselves whether they acknowledge their crimes or not and how they want to compensate. I guess the UN truly has no real function at all. Germany has underlined that there is no right to demand legal reparations by the way. They merely set up an...
