  • I saw a comment online (not here on Lemmy) where someone was saying that Kiwior should be rested against Southampton, so he doesn’t get injured and tank his values for being sold this summer.

    First off, I’d be very happy if he stayed. He’s really proved himself as a very solid backup/rotation centreback, and I get the feeling his could easily raise his ceiling further.

    Second, who the hell is going to fill in for him this weekend?! Tomiyasu and Timber are injured. Calafiori only just came back from an injury (and was wearing a knee brace right after the Newcastle match), White only just came back from injury (and we need him at right back), and Saliba came off because of a suspected injury.

    I know Rice has played at centreback in the fairly distant past. But putting him in there now would be idiotic. Playing Partey at right back and moving White to Central for that one match would be equally idiotic, if for nothing else than considering we are also light in central midfield.

    Just play Kiwior.



  • This meme needs to be updated now that the Washington Post has become a spineless cowardly organization.

    AP: The president shat himself.

    The Whitehouse: How dare you! The President would never do such a thing! And to even suggest it is treason!

    The President: YEAH I SHAT MYSELF! AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND BIG AND SMELLY!

    WaPo: …Oh look over there, Bernie Sanders is acting all crazy again.







  • I highly recommend the documentary Behind The Curve. It’s both hilarious and frustrating in equal measure, since it charts the antics of the flat earther movement (mostly on America, but these people are all over the globe, sadly).

    The hilarious part is how these people keep doing experiments throughout the documentary to prove the world is flat, and their experiments keep coming back showing it’s a globe. But they just double down and assume they did something wrong.

    It’s a fascinating insight into mad delusion, and has some great examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
