  1. 2024 U.S. Elections

    You mean in 2016 when Hillary had that superdelegates advantage. Or in 2020 when all those younger candidates dropped out on same day to endorse Biden. That's without all the mainstream media turning and campaigning against Bernie (pro Hillary/Biden)
  2. 2024 U.S. Elections

    There were also multiple reports that he is going to be only one term president. That he doesn't want a second term and will let someone younger to take charge, but now he refuses to quit. No wonder that some voters will feel cheated. In the end the democrats made their bed (by pushing Hillary...
  3. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    And yet it's already changing due to Russia's influence. Brexit? Rise of far-right parties that are supported by Russia? After all the meddling that Russia is doing in election processes and thus trying to weaken western democracies, it's obvious they are in cold war with us. I don't think that...
  4. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    This mindset needs to change. We (the collective west) must admit we are in (cold) war with Russia. By attacking Ukraine, Russia is attacking the entire international order. It is demonstrating that conquest through war is valid course of action. If we do not stop it, then it will happen again...
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Ofcourse they can be crap. Has any of those coaches had success afterwards. LVG had a decent stint with NT at world cup, but lost after meeting first good team. Mourinho failed at Spurs and Roma. Ole still doesn't have a job. It's not the problem with just the manager. There is a bunch of...
  6. Film The Movie Critic - Tarantino's 'final' movie

    No. I find it overrated too. But then, I can't stand Tarantino's movies in general.
  7. Can anyone's view on ETH change this season?

    I've been for Ten Hag for quite some time and I'd like him to succeed here, but it's not looking likely. The team is playing terrible football, being constantly outplayed by even relegation battling sides. The results and play are just not good enough. If it were Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona...
  8. Chess discussions

    Lichess starts with 1500 while chess.com is 1000, so lichess ratings will be higher. The pool of players are also different. I'd say 1900 on lichess is 1600 on chess.com

    He is also a liar. I remember when he interviewed random christians on streets and asking them religious questions and then answering with complete lies and fabrications, such as that the crucifiction of Jesus was stolen from egyption mythology etc. P.s. I'm an atheist, but trying to attack...
  10. Chess discussions

    It's kinda reverse for me. I'm around 1600 on 10 minutes controls, but struggle against bots higher than 1400. Here's a tip to increase your rating, don't resign. Play every game till the end, that's worth at least 100 points. Another tip is, everybody blunders, it may seem 1600s are perfect...
  11. Film Zack Snyder's REBEL MOON

    I find his movies visually spectacular, but ultimately very bland and lacking depth. The only movie of his I genuinely liked is Watchmen and I'd probably rate it as one of the best comic book movies ( however fans seem to not like it, I don't read comics). I'd guess with watchmen he had...
  12. Film Zack Snyder's REBEL MOON

    Isn't that basically what Snyder is? All of his movies are overly melodramatic, even the Army of the Dead takes it self too seriously for what it is supposed to be. I'm not a big fan of movie humor (and I like serious movies), but Zack is too much even for me.

    The point is, there is no reason to believe what's obviously Isreali propaganda. Doesn't mean it isn't true. Doesn't mean it is. Hamas is obviously a terrorist organization and it isn't beyond them to hide in hospitals etc., but considering Israel is targeting hospitals, humanitarian workers and...

    Or that it is true? If the russians made a similar video, you'd claim it was staged and in fact there is no way knowing it isn't.
  15. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less

    I've got a 7 month boy and after watching this I'm barely holding tears. My wife walked into the room and I immediately closed the window so she wouldn't see it. I don't think she could handle it. If this is defending it self, I wonder what is actually carnage?
