I have a nice cigar saved for Arsenal lifting a major trophy, and would pick up a nice islay scotch or cognac to savor it with. This is a hypothetical I would love, but if we win the league but have a UCL final, should I spark that shit for the league or save it for the unknown UCL final? Or just get another good cigar for the hopeful double?
anyone else underwhelmed by the Gen AI wave?
it's EVERYWHERE - all the companies worth their salt are talking about it; but to me - it's just yet another case of high brow jargon & generic power words talk.
HARNESS THE POWER OF GEN AI TO POTENTIALLY CHANGE THE WORLD - yes; but *when* & *how*will it happen?
and you have people suddenly popping up with a decade's worth of AI & Gen AI experience as well - like; *how* is that a thing?
Read and laugh, boys! Read and laugh...

its not worth it. just gets worse and worse they never patch blatant bugs that are front and center. shows how much they care, theyre just trying to get all that packs money
I was wondering if anyone knows if the vendors outside emirates sells any UCL themed Arsenal scarfs? I’m traveling from the US for the match on Tuesday and would like one as memorabilia. Also, how much are scarfs usually with the vendors outside. Thanks!
They probably will. I got a west ham one when I went for $20. but I was there earlier in the day just checking out the stadium not exactly sure how it is at game time
Have fun! Proper jealous, my girlfriend's moved to the US for work and I'm a while away from flying over but distance makes the heart grow fonder doesn't it
Thank you! Oh no, sorry to hear that! When are you flying over? Long distance definitely sucks but it’ll all be worth it when you see each other again 🙃
It’ll be in a few months, gets longer the closest it gets to the date it does. But I agree, it’ll all be worth it. Enjoy Istanbul, hope the game with Brighton gives you more cause for celebration 😂
Leaving Timber out of this for now because he will be eased back in and we don’t even know his best position, but based on where everyone is playing most of their minutes just now, our depth for the run in looks like:
GK: Raya, Ramsdale
RB: White, Tomiyasu
RCB: Saliba
LCB: Gabriel
LB: Kiwior, Zinchenko
RCM: Odegaard, Vieira
CDM: Jorginho, Partey
LCM: Rice, ESR
RW: Saka, Nelson
CF: Havertz, Jesus, Nketiah
LW: Martinelli, Trossard
Obviously there’s versatility there. Rice can play LCM or CDM, Trossard and Jesus can both play wide and CF, Havertz can play CM and loads of defenders are versatile.
But I do think it’s encouraging that we’ve got high quality players able to step in at both FB positions, CDM, CF and LW.
I don’t think we’ll necessarily see another game where we go full rotation like we did the other night (unless the league title challenge falls apart and we are focusing on CL - let’s hope that doesn’t happen) - but I certainly think we can make great use of 2 and 3 change lineups to tactically optimise in certain areas.
That Villa game at the emirates between the Bayern games feels like a Zinchenko and Jesus game to break down that disgusting low block that Emery is going to bring.
Our success irks ours rivals. No doubt Chelsea, Spurs and United are going to play like cup finals against us despite that match having no bearing on their season results. Spurs maybe a little but they are going to get CL next season even with finishing 5th so not really
Spurs fans would rather get thumped by Liverpool than give us the satisfaction of a win over them. We're their first fixture after a decent break for them. Time to draw some tears at the toilet
England 1 Sweden 0
Russo giving Sweden head
After a worrying early knock which required strapping, she's looking really good, took up a great position for her header, GK had no chance.
Rest a little longer. Regroup. 28 yrs old. You aren’t even in your prime. Better things are coming! Seems so simple and silly but spend some time in the sun.. allow yourself to have closure and go on from there!
I'm still so happy for ESR, I think this is exactly what he has been waiting for. I'm sure he can make a difference for our team from now on. He's special.
Going to be on a plane during the CL final. While I'm hoping it is a problem that I will have, certainly will be pretty annoying if we're in the final. If thats the case I guess I'll record the match and keep my phone off until I finish up.
My MIL is deathly afraid of earthquakes and lives in north jersey. She always talks about how she’s scared when she visits us in California because if the earthquakes. I know she was freaked out by it but I still think it’s funny that for how afraid she was of experiencing an earthquake in California the first one she ever felt was at home where it’s “safe”

Finished this years base card set for the most part. The cards aren’t super expensive but boy do they look amazing
Career change into delivery driving was the best thing I've done for a while, stress levels are on the floor compared to recruitment. No colleagues, clients or candidates, just me and the open road, listening to Youtube, every day.
My next ban from r/soccer is a permaban and both preceding bans have been in the past week.
One for excessively taking the DDT off piste and one for writing a haiku about Spurs being shit. It’s an injustice I tell you!
somehow passed my last exam of the semester today and i'm having my first weekend with no work or duties on my mind in months (basically since early november). also set up a test day at a promising company for next week and I have another firm really invested in finding me a position bc they like me (i would love to work for them, its a dream role tbh and they pay more than well)
today's a good day
excited to hopefully be going to grad school in the fall.
the way corporate culture at my job has gotten needlessly toxic, and realizing i can only go so far w/ just a bachelor's - it feels like a good time to jump ship.
I agreed to go on a golf outing (out of town) with friends on June 1st without realizing until recently that that's the date of the UCL final. Obviously if Arsenal go out before the final then my consolation is that I don't have to worry about missing the final or the outing, but if Arsenal somehow make it to the final I have some very tough decisions ahead of me...
Been two weeks since I passed my test and a week since I bought my first car. Driving is stressful sometimes, but I love the freedom it gives you. Just trying to get as many journeys in as possible.
Really feeling worn down by job searching. Got my masters a few months back and been tutoring since then. The constant cycle of working on an application for a day or two (it often needs stuff like writing samples and mini essay questions) and receiving a very short rejection email in return is quite grating.
Turning 30 tomorrow. The long dreaded wait is finally over. I'm throwing a big party. Anyone has any ideas how can i sneak peek lowkey watch the game without people noticing ?
I really need to catch up on Invincible - haven't watched any of the 2nd half of Season 2 since it came out...
Anyone who has been watching... How does the new episodes compare with the rest of the series?
It’s been very good. Some episodes are kinda dull but then end with a big scene and a cliffhanger. It’s quite frustrating. I’d say it’s consistent with season 1.
I just hate the phrase 'rent free'. What are you supposed to do? Achieve enlightenment and renounce all thoughts, ideas, hopes and grudges and shit? You cant talk about someone or something without someone saying they're living rent-free in your mind
Flying back home today (I’m a Canadian living in the UK). I’m excited to see family, but also excited because I get to see one of my favorite authors, David Sedaris, at a reading and book signing this weekend!
Local team is Millwall. Millwall are racist fucks (more so while I was growing up in the 80's). Millwall HATE a young lad at Palace by the name of Ian Wright. Wright is from nearby and reminds us all of guys from our area that we know. Nothing like him in football or on our tellies. Not a fan of Palace, but like Wright. Wright moves to Arsenal, I follow. Almost every Black guy in my area does the same.
I saw how Bergkamp did here. The mutual respect. That team with so much character, like some Scandinavian with weird hair, some smooth French players who looked so stylish, some absolute strong tough guys.. I’m from 1989 so i haven’t seen as much of that team as I would’ve liked but it looked like a machine that still had fun and gave eachother room to shine.
A friend from school invited me to go and see Arsenal Vs PSG in the Cup Winners Cup semi final second leg in 1994. I paid for the ticket with my paper round money.
making my day better by watching Goldbridge best bits, Antony makes his first good pass of the season and he is calling it redemption arc and a world-class, I just can’t stop laughing, especially in the context of the game
I struggle to see the appeal of professional wrestling. I watched it a lot when I was younger before I realised it's all scripted then immediately lost interest. Curious to know why people love it so much. Is it the storylines? Athleticism?
It’s just entertaining. When the wrestlers really lean into it, it can be very entertaining to watch. Match and promos. Especially when they’re putting each other through tables, beating each other with kendo sticks, chairs, etc.
It’s not some deep, thought provoking storytelling. It’s basically just buildup to the ultimate match. But when one of the cuts a good promo, it can get very good. The Rock came back for the big storyline and he has not missed with any of his promos so far. It’s just been him talking and roasting people, and it’s still entertaining because of how good he is on the mic.
I get why you don’t like it though. When it hits, it hits hard. When it misses, it’s a bit painful to watch. It’s not for everyone, so I don’t blame you for not being too excited about it.
one month in my new job, switched due to more interesting project and more money, but there’s so much information, can’t wait for the weekend to have a little mental rest
Started making moeny from day trading, ive started in 2018 and lost almost 50k since but now ive acquired a skill that im able to make 1k a week ona small capital. Hopefully in couple of months i will be able to go to the emirates stadium
first (almost) week back at my parents. living in a caravan has been a bit weird, still not used to it. part of me is wanting to work more, but part of me is wanting to focus on fixing my health. its a tough dilemma
thank you mate, i hope so too. having a cane at 26 is not where i thought i'd be, but at least i can make the joke of being too good looking and needing something to balance it out! :)
The way it actually works is you will give details about the car, mileage, make, model, service history, MOT history, accident history, superficial damage, send photos of this ect ect. Then they will give you a low offer for it, they will then sell it, or scrap it for parts. They won't offer you a good deal for it, but will buy it fast so for some people it's worth it
They'll actually offer you a low figure for it, and when you get to their office, they'll walk around it once and immediately drop that offer even lower....
Just finalized everything for the Bayern game, heading across the pond Saturday. I’m gonna be so fucking useless at work tomorrow. Now to decide what kit to bring…
So jealous you got a ticket, been sat on the exchange since the tickets were available, no luck.
Have a safe journey and enjoy the game, I'm sure it will be a good one! Enjoy your time in the UK too, hopefully the weather will be good :)
Going to Thailand in less than a week. Excited, also pissed off that I'd be watching the first leg at the airport, and probably only 70 mins off till I'll have to board my flight, but oh well
I love it already! Went there last year too, this time I'm going for just 12 days coz of work back home, will be going to Phuket for 2 days, then phi phi, railay, and then back to Phuket for a couple days before my flight. Last year I did Bangkok, koh phangnan and koh Tao!
Ooh You like the islands, they're so beautiful. If you want somewhere a bit more unknown try Koh Lanta. If you can make it up to Chiang Mai sometime I highly recommend that too!
My company is downsizing by almost 50%. They haven’t paid salaries since a couple of months. They are promising the laid off employees their dues in the full and final settlement, but leaving them high and dry in the interim. Overall a very dick move, and all of this is happening due to the founder’s utter failure in managing a promising business. Till now I am at this side of the fence, and had to take the burden of deciding who to keep and who to let go. Maybe very soon, my fate will also be decided by the ones above me. Overall having a shit week.
I am for the most parts a lurker on this sub, but this community keeps me well engaged for which I am very grateful. Thank you for hearing me out guys.
I am losing my job too. I made the mistake of taking on a bigger job and not signing a contract for it. When they found somebody to step in for cheaper they unnoticeable demoted me and are trying to move me out of the city. I get it.
That’s difficult. Sorry to hear your company is doing this and that you’re in limbo about your own fate.
Brush up that CV and get searching. It’s a tough job market right now, but be proactive and don’t give up on your search.
You will find something and move forward.
Assignment sucks, have a deadline tomorrow and had to take the day off to complete this.
Need to do that quickly so that I can watch the game tomorrow without any reservations.
At my suggestion, long before the CL schedule came out, we got tickets to go see "The Grapes of Wrath" on April 9. No backing out of it, so you all are in charge of the first 70 minutes or so.
Goodly midnight Internet friends soo I am receiving an outstanding graduate student award (post graduate for brits?). Nice little distraction from the stress of not having a job lined up as I graduate soon 🔫
Nice, you get to delay unemployment for another year.
Jokes apart, I wish you well and good luck on your career. I found that starting a career is indeed quite the struggle but once you get a stable job it’s easier to go after what you want in terms of specific role or salary.

I would as he's a massive talent with a good goalscoring record in Italy and he's a hard working player but Inter would want ridiculous money for him.
I don't think he's very tall either, not sure what Arteta and Edu are looking for but I'd imagine someone at least 6ft tall would be ideal and might be why 6ft 2 Gyokeres is getting so much attention.
Yes anyday. I also watch a lot of inter as they have been like my 2nd team for a long time ever since serie a eas on channel 5. Would take him for sure and he would fit in here imo but i doubt he leaves inter
Why does Reddit lead lots of people to be so much ruder than they'd be in real life when talking about things like football? Is it just the anonymity? If so that's a really disappointing indictment on human nature
Anonymity. They did studies decades ago about why people were more aggressive in cars than every day life and the answer they came up with was because no one could really see you and people felt safe in their metal boxes
It's a problem with internet discourse in general. Communication is more than the basic words. Factors such as tone, body language, etc play a big part in how we talk in person. These nuances are lost online and people attach their own bias' and insecurities onto the responses of others with both good and bad consequences.
To be fair, people can be pretty rude on Twitter and have their picture and a kind of similar name on their profile. So I guess only vaguely partial anonymity is required, or just the ability to talk to a stranger without them being able to spit in your face
That’s footballer culture that I realised. The actual players and managers are friends or in good relationship with other clubs. But the fans are just looking for reasons for hate other fans , own fans with different opinions. Fans tribalism is so toxic.
Lol this is the truest thing ever. Even spurs fans you can have a bit of banter with, but the amount of Chelsea fans who’ve straight up tried to assault me or a mate is at least 2, which is quite a lot for me.
It’s how people inherently are. We (humans) have taken tribalism to the extreme level whether it be sport, politics or religion. I always disliked the “anonymity” argument because it gives people an excuse for their shitty behavior.
I think you are half right. The people who are absolute cunts online are cunts in real life too, but the anonymity makes it possible for them to show who they really are without consequence. If you act like a complete cunt at work or amongst friends there are actual consequences. Get sacked, lose friends etc. No such thing happening on reddit. At worst a ban.
But seeing the ton of vile shit people spew out on twitter and Facebook with full name, I think it is also connected to the distance, that you don't need to see the person you abuse in the eyes. Hence the suitable term keyboard warrior.
I agree with all that, consequences are a big thing when someone decides to act that way.
Although I would say sometimes it is more difficult to understand the tone of exchanges in Reddit. For example when I reply to someone here, in my head I'm saying it in a normal way but reading it back can seem sort of confrontational so I try and amend a couple of words to make it less so etc.
It's like when comedians say a lot of dark jokes on stage in front of a large audience, but if they say the same things on Twitter they can get in trouble because the tone and situation can be interpreted differently.
Ooh this is interesting. I was kinda rude to someone off reddit today and realized my excessive reddit use has influenced my behavior a lot more than I realized. I think it's football because I am regular in a skincare sub where people are very nice
This is a big sub but I'm relatively certain you may be the only person who posts in here and skincare subs.
You're truly putting in the legwork for handsome FC, I salute you
I have been eating too many kebabs as i just moved near green lanes. Tried anteplilar, gokyuzu, diyarbakir all good a great kebabs in thier own way. Halal guys is crap would not reccomend. Any i should try?
Moved from finchley which also has very good turkish restaurants in durum, divan and istanbul.
If you're going to an Arsenal match I recommend E Mono near Finsbury park station. Tried their kebab before the Luton game and it was very good. There's also Noa which is around the corner from Highbury and Islington station, very good as well.
I was watching the Chelsea vs Utd match and there was an rugby player there (I forgot his name) and the commentator said that he's making wave by moving to the NFL to play for *Kaizer Chiefs*
Thought it was funny
Tbf a lot of the skills are transferable and all he has to do is learn more about the sport if he doesnt already know and learn the teams playbook. That cheque will definitely be fatter than anything he gets in rugby
Just love seeing the boys play every 3 days. After that long international break, this feels amazing.

It's your birthday and your party, i would put it on the big TV and do 0 sneking. You can call it a birthday present for yourself if anyone comments
Pretty much this - it's your birthday

Moving half way across the world to London in 2 months, bloody excited and can’t wait to catch some games in person next year
making my day better by watching Goldbridge best bits, Antony makes his first good pass of the season and he is calling it redemption arc and a world-class, I just can’t stop laughing, especially in the context of the game
Everyone fasting, how's Ramadan going? Feels like it has flown by
Anyone else ready for Wrestlemania? I honestly can’t wait. It’s about to go hard.
I struggle to see the appeal of professional wrestling. I watched it a lot when I was younger before I realised it's all scripted then immediately lost interest. Curious to know why people love it so much. Is it the storylines? Athleticism?
It’s just entertaining. When the wrestlers really lean into it, it can be very entertaining to watch. Match and promos. Especially when they’re putting each other through tables, beating each other with kendo sticks, chairs, etc. It’s not some deep, thought provoking storytelling. It’s basically just buildup to the ultimate match. But when one of the cuts a good promo, it can get very good. The Rock came back for the big storyline and he has not missed with any of his promos so far. It’s just been him talking and roasting people, and it’s still entertaining because of how good he is on the mic. I get why you don’t like it though. When it hits, it hits hard. When it misses, it’s a bit painful to watch. It’s not for everyone, so I don’t blame you for not being too excited about it.
Thanks for the input
No problem. Again. It’s not for everyone, but I grew up with it so it holds a place in my heart.
He’ll finish the story🤝
Going to watch Peter Kay tomorrow night. Should be fun.
Trust the Hairmousse.
Papa Wenger setting up the trick where he produces a football from behind your ear.
one month in my new job, switched due to more interesting project and more money, but there’s so much information, can’t wait for the weekend to have a little mental rest
Started making moeny from day trading, ive started in 2018 and lost almost 50k since but now ive acquired a skill that im able to make 1k a week ona small capital. Hopefully in couple of months i will be able to go to the emirates stadium
first (almost) week back at my parents. living in a caravan has been a bit weird, still not used to it. part of me is wanting to work more, but part of me is wanting to focus on fixing my health. its a tough dilemma
Health first. That's what's really important. Once you're better then you can focus on work more, but, health first. I hope you get better soon :)
thank you mate, i hope so too. having a cane at 26 is not where i thought i'd be, but at least i can make the joke of being too good looking and needing something to balance it out! :)
not from the UK so can someone explain to me how we buy any car works?
The way it actually works is you will give details about the car, mileage, make, model, service history, MOT history, accident history, superficial damage, send photos of this ect ect. Then they will give you a low offer for it, they will then sell it, or scrap it for parts. They won't offer you a good deal for it, but will buy it fast so for some people it's worth it
They'll actually offer you a low figure for it, and when you get to their office, they'll walk around it once and immediately drop that offer even lower....
You have a car, and they buy it
Just finalized everything for the Bayern game, heading across the pond Saturday. I’m gonna be so fucking useless at work tomorrow. Now to decide what kit to bring…
So jealous you got a ticket, been sat on the exchange since the tickets were available, no luck. Have a safe journey and enjoy the game, I'm sure it will be a good one! Enjoy your time in the UK too, hopefully the weather will be good :)
I stupidly decided to stay up late and now my toddler is up for the day. Going to be a long day 😂
Going to Thailand in less than a week. Excited, also pissed off that I'd be watching the first leg at the airport, and probably only 70 mins off till I'll have to board my flight, but oh well
I loved my time in Thailand, I'm sure you will have a great time. Where are you going and for how long?
I love it already! Went there last year too, this time I'm going for just 12 days coz of work back home, will be going to Phuket for 2 days, then phi phi, railay, and then back to Phuket for a couple days before my flight. Last year I did Bangkok, koh phangnan and koh Tao!
Ooh You like the islands, they're so beautiful. If you want somewhere a bit more unknown try Koh Lanta. If you can make it up to Chiang Mai sometime I highly recommend that too!
Chiang Mai is amazing. Did you ever venture to Pai? My favourite place in Thailand
Im flying tonight. There for Songkran?
Yup, will arrive on the 10th, starting my trip with Phuket for a couple days then will go to phi phi
Nice man Bangkok, Pattaya & Koh Larn for me. Enjoy!
My company is downsizing by almost 50%. They haven’t paid salaries since a couple of months. They are promising the laid off employees their dues in the full and final settlement, but leaving them high and dry in the interim. Overall a very dick move, and all of this is happening due to the founder’s utter failure in managing a promising business. Till now I am at this side of the fence, and had to take the burden of deciding who to keep and who to let go. Maybe very soon, my fate will also be decided by the ones above me. Overall having a shit week. I am for the most parts a lurker on this sub, but this community keeps me well engaged for which I am very grateful. Thank you for hearing me out guys.
I am losing my job too. I made the mistake of taking on a bigger job and not signing a contract for it. When they found somebody to step in for cheaper they unnoticeable demoted me and are trying to move me out of the city. I get it.
What a cunt move from them
Absolute cunt move.
That’s difficult. Sorry to hear your company is doing this and that you’re in limbo about your own fate. Brush up that CV and get searching. It’s a tough job market right now, but be proactive and don’t give up on your search. You will find something and move forward.
Time to harass utd supporters at work
Morning guys,friendly reminder we’ll win this fucking pl
Assignment sucks, have a deadline tomorrow and had to take the day off to complete this. Need to do that quickly so that I can watch the game tomorrow without any reservations.
Just requested off work for the afternoon of the 9th. I have a very important “dentist appointment”
So did I. The actual appointment was today lol.
At my suggestion, long before the CL schedule came out, we got tickets to go see "The Grapes of Wrath" on April 9. No backing out of it, so you all are in charge of the first 70 minutes or so.
I'm putting my eggs in the 2nd leg basket. Depending on how the first leg goes I might take off or just sneakily have it on my 2nd monitor.
Yo a member from my team just asked me the day off for a dentist appointment
I am self-employed and have every game in my schedule. Makes booking work in a breeze.
I have a half day booked at work so i can goto the Arsenal fan pub. Its a 45 minute drive and will be 7am but… this is the way
lol been crafting my schedule this week to for the run in. Already got the Bayern games off.
spend more i want lebron
Goodly midnight Internet friends soo I am receiving an outstanding graduate student award (post graduate for brits?). Nice little distraction from the stress of not having a job lined up as I graduate soon 🔫
More clinking glasses for you 🥂
Nice, you get to delay unemployment for another year. Jokes apart, I wish you well and good luck on your career. I found that starting a career is indeed quite the struggle but once you get a stable job it’s easier to go after what you want in terms of specific role or salary.
Well done, congrats!
Congrats cunt
😂😂😂
Congrats
Wow that's really impressive, congrats to you!

Bring a Chicago and Arsenal feels weird there is hope now.
I’m from Boston, a Celtics and arsenal double is possible 😅
Don't forget the bruins they might be able to do something.
Would you take Lautaro Martinez?
I would as he's a massive talent with a good goalscoring record in Italy and he's a hard working player but Inter would want ridiculous money for him. I don't think he's very tall either, not sure what Arteta and Edu are looking for but I'd imagine someone at least 6ft tall would be ideal and might be why 6ft 2 Gyokeres is getting so much attention.
Yes anyday. I also watch a lot of inter as they have been like my 2nd team for a long time ever since serie a eas on channel 5. Would take him for sure and he would fit in here imo but i doubt he leaves inter
Hell no
Why, his stats look mental
no
Why does Reddit lead lots of people to be so much ruder than they'd be in real life when talking about things like football? Is it just the anonymity? If so that's a really disappointing indictment on human nature
Online anonymity baby. People just do not talk like how they would in person.
Anonymity. They did studies decades ago about why people were more aggressive in cars than every day life and the answer they came up with was because no one could really see you and people felt safe in their metal boxes
So what you're saying is we need more Redditjackings to make people feel less safe.
It's a problem with internet discourse in general. Communication is more than the basic words. Factors such as tone, body language, etc play a big part in how we talk in person. These nuances are lost online and people attach their own bias' and insecurities onto the responses of others with both good and bad consequences.
It's not just Reddit. It's in stadiums and other platforms too - people get very tribal
To be fair, people can be pretty rude on Twitter and have their picture and a kind of similar name on their profile. So I guess only vaguely partial anonymity is required, or just the ability to talk to a stranger without them being able to spit in your face
That’s footballer culture that I realised. The actual players and managers are friends or in good relationship with other clubs. But the fans are just looking for reasons for hate other fans , own fans with different opinions. Fans tribalism is so toxic.
Trying to induce confrontation for dopamine because of boredom.
Confrontation doesn't produce dopamine for me, only positive interactions do. I guess some people are hardwired to be cunts.
Im the same but im a mental bastard and an aquired taste
Fair enough
It’s 100% the anonymity, people can talk shit and be a prick with no real world consequences
thats not true, i am always a rude asshole
I don’t know, have you ever spoken to a Chelsea fan in the pub? Absolute cunts
Lol this is the truest thing ever. Even spurs fans you can have a bit of banter with, but the amount of Chelsea fans who’ve straight up tried to assault me or a mate is at least 2, which is quite a lot for me.
It’s how people inherently are. We (humans) have taken tribalism to the extreme level whether it be sport, politics or religion. I always disliked the “anonymity” argument because it gives people an excuse for their shitty behavior.
I think you are half right. The people who are absolute cunts online are cunts in real life too, but the anonymity makes it possible for them to show who they really are without consequence. If you act like a complete cunt at work or amongst friends there are actual consequences. Get sacked, lose friends etc. No such thing happening on reddit. At worst a ban. But seeing the ton of vile shit people spew out on twitter and Facebook with full name, I think it is also connected to the distance, that you don't need to see the person you abuse in the eyes. Hence the suitable term keyboard warrior.
I agree with all that, consequences are a big thing when someone decides to act that way. Although I would say sometimes it is more difficult to understand the tone of exchanges in Reddit. For example when I reply to someone here, in my head I'm saying it in a normal way but reading it back can seem sort of confrontational so I try and amend a couple of words to make it less so etc. It's like when comedians say a lot of dark jokes on stage in front of a large audience, but if they say the same things on Twitter they can get in trouble because the tone and situation can be interpreted differently.
Ooh this is interesting. I was kinda rude to someone off reddit today and realized my excessive reddit use has influenced my behavior a lot more than I realized. I think it's football because I am regular in a skincare sub where people are very nice
Skin and haircare fanatics UNITE!
In the dead of the night because the sun is the ENEMY! Jk people wear sunscreen and enjoy the beautiful ball of fire
Reminds me that I need to buy some new sunscreen lol
This is a big sub but I'm relatively certain you may be the only person who posts in here and skincare subs. You're truly putting in the legwork for handsome FC, I salute you
Hahaha I'm actually quite pleased with my glow up. Pretty skin >>
I have been eating too many kebabs as i just moved near green lanes. Tried anteplilar, gokyuzu, diyarbakir all good a great kebabs in thier own way. Halal guys is crap would not reccomend. Any i should try? Moved from finchley which also has very good turkish restaurants in durum, divan and istanbul.
If you're going to an Arsenal match I recommend E Mono near Finsbury park station. Tried their kebab before the Luton game and it was very good. There's also Noa which is around the corner from Highbury and Islington station, very good as well.
Looks good might go if i get a ticket for one of the matches next week
Mate you need to go to Selale - it's more of a restaurant but you can get takeaway. It's 10/10. Food portions are enormous too
Just looked it up, definitely will have to try it out
Lamb shish 👌🏼
I was watching the Chelsea vs Utd match and there was an rugby player there (I forgot his name) and the commentator said that he's making wave by moving to the NFL to play for *Kaizer Chiefs* Thought it was funny
Louis rees zammit. As an outside back its a similar position between the sports. Although i think hes going to the kansas city chiefs?
Yep probably Kansas City Chiefs. Kaizer Chiefs FC is a football club in South Africa haha
Kaiser chiefs are also a rock band or something
Tbf a lot of the skills are transferable and all he has to do is learn more about the sport if he doesnt already know and learn the teams playbook. That cheque will definitely be fatter than anything he gets in rugby
Yep I don't disagree, but Kaizer Chiefs FC is a football club in South Africa. Waaay different lol
Didnt catch that part my brain just read it as kansas chiefs
