  1. Club Sale | It’s done!

    He's paying what you call a control premium for the Class B shares. What's traded on the exchanges are the Class A shares, which have the same economic rights but 1/10th the voting rights of Class A shares. He's buying none of those. Essentially having control over United in one form or another...
  2. Manchester United vs Bayern Munich

    Yeah, we don't. So may of his moments on the ball today and in other matches are very "boys vs men". Has the speed but not the technique, the decision making, or the strength to really capitalize on situations.
  3. Gaming Counter-Strike 2

    Maps are one of the most stale aspects of CS, as the player base loves familiarity. So some of the most popular maps still include Dust2 (Dust is too CT-sided if you remember), Inferno, Mirage, Nuke. Others are newer like Ancient (Aztec remake in sort of style, but Aztec was also very CT-sided)...
  4. Gaming Counter-Strike 2

    The core mechanics and logic of the game are still the same. Still played mainly as a round-based game, defuse game-mode with 2 bombsites. What's different from 1.3-1.6 is that the game standardized around the 5v5 format as the main competitive game-mode, with both professional tournaments and...
  5. Venezuela - Guyana tensions over territory

    Peace in South America isn't at the top of the list of Brazil's interests, but it also isn't that far down. Brazil has ambitions to be a regional power with global relevance, that claim is undermined if they prove to be incapable of keeping peace between 2 smaller neighbors. This is already...

  7. Gaming Grand Theft Auto VI | Trailer out now

    Released early due to leak
  8. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    Just finished the 1st part about the planning, and recalled that we were talking about this aspect of the timing in this thread back in June. As @RedDevilQuebecois points out, timing is entirely relative in these affairs. I say this as someone who is generally too cautious and wants to be too...
  9. Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen

    I hate this team, their attitude, and lack of footballing skill right now.
  10. Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen

    Simply awful.
  11. Mason Greenwood | 2023/24 Performances | on loan to Getafe

    He started striker vs Leeds and Wolves, and on the wing vs Southampton. For his goal vs Wolves he was already at RW since Martial had come on to play CF, but against Leeds his goal was when he was playing CF.
  12. Sir Bobby Charlton has died

    What a privilege indeed. Most meaningful player in the club's history.
  13. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less

    All of the stated in the tweet can be true, and it still doesn't prove that Israel bombed this particular hospital at that particular hour. I feel weird arguing that a specific war crime isn't so, in the context of other war crimes being committed before and since. But the absolute bending of...
  14. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less

    I disagree with this part. I think it gets about the same amount of coverage that a number (but not all) of conflicts get when they're in an escalatory phase. When Assad was most intensely repressing his adversaries in Syria and enlisted help from Russia to do extensive airstrikes, I think that...
  15. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less

    Yeah, it doesn't. But it's a bit different, right? Because Stephen Miller co-existed in the White House with Jared Kushner and others. But there weren't any Muslim officials that I remember (and I could be wrong). I think it aligns with the hysteria about their values being subverted in...
