@Greggs322 @Blue_Footy @JacobsBen Remember the 3 months "thorough" process they did for poch. Just for them to say a year later that his tactics don't suit the team.

@Blue_Footy @JacobsBen Lol the same bull they said when they hired Maresca. The only correct approach is to sack the atrocious SDs and buy experienced and proven coach and players. We all know the script though. Iraola here we go and a bunch of French and Brazilian youngsters...

🗣️ @JacobsBen: "Chelsea's position is they haven't actually reached out to any candidate [to replace Rosenior]. So this is going to be a more thorough process than people think.
But it wouldn't remotely surprise me if they go for somebody with a more experienced CV than Rosenior."

@gibbo199O @chelseayouth Last time I checked, we had a 15% win rate against top teams. This included bayern, psg, barca, real Madrid, Liverpool, arsenal, city and united.
English
@chelseayouth A decent chunk of those wins vs “lesser” opposition in Europe and domestic cups too, nearly every time we come up against a competent team we roll over

Since the start of the 2022-23 season Chelsea have played 218 senior competitive men's matches. They've won 109 of them, exactly 50%.

The end of America’s involvement in Iran marks the beginning of the end for NATO as we know it.
For decades, the US carried 60% of the burden while Western Europe freeloaded. Now, in active war:
• Spain & France blocked US airspace
• Germany sneered “not our war”
• Italy (Meloni) denied US planes Sicily bases
• Macron refused US arsenal overflight to Israel
• UK even denied Diego Garcia access
NATO is finished.

@Barakinio @StormyMv33 And the sad thing is the overtakes took no skill. Hardly any were late braking or wheel to wheel through corners. Just two cars going in a straight lane alternating position on different straights.

The first laps between Leclerc and Russell were literally artificial. One was forced to recharge while the other deployed and it swapped every lap. That's why Mercedes double-stacked for clear air, so they could push and build a gap.
Crazy how some are enjoying this slop I don't get it

Max Verstappen's comment about this being Formula E on steroids is spot on Ridiculous you are trying to manage the battery for the entire race.....

@AIKOISSEY @MovieFlameProd If they have a count of seeing them earlier than they see the Chinese have them then they're going to say what it originated there but other people can still do it and they have their own way of doing it does not mean it didn't originate somewhere else

For everyone saying this is a race swap, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Her ONLY description in all 7 books is: “She was known for wearing her hair in a long plait down her back.” “Plait” hair styles originated in Africa and is most commonly worn by black people. This is not a race swap, you’re just looking for things to complain about.

@dainconficio @TobyEvenden And yet only one of them is part of the team to score more than 100 goals in a premier league season, and it isn't the team with effectively two extra wingers.
English
@TobyEvenden Only one of them played in an extremely high back 4 that had 2 fbs that were effectively wingers and that wasn’t John Terry 👍
English
Fed up with Chelsea fans lieing about John Terry. He didnt win PFA POTY conceding 15 in 04/05 while playing every minute of 14/15 winning the prem with 3 more on top, Champions League, 5 FA Cups and a Europa.
He conceded 13 but was rested after we won it where we let 2 more in.
English
@mr_flobadobalob @OdionHendrix @talkSPORT So John terry was free and vvd cost you 70+ million. Terry was part of the team to score 100+ premier league goals in a season, yet attacking Liverpool can't even do that. Half a billion spent this year and you can't even make the champions league spot.
English
@OdionHendrix @talkSPORT And Robbo cost £8m and Trent was free. So?
The numbers are on transfermarkt and other websites. It's not an argument, you just have to do some research.

Tolkien spent 17 years doubting anyone would care about hobbits and rings.
Then one day C.S. Lewis read his manuscript and called it "lightning from a clear sky"
One friend's belief gave us The Lord of the Rings.
Thank you, C.S. Lewis.

@blessedtism @The0neulost I agree, I wasn't implying you were. And apologize if my response seem like i was. You just pointed out the next logical step for developers. I was just giving my input on what I believe the true value of steam is.
English
@snail8911 @The0neulost I'm not saying they should, and clearly most don't.
But it's very possible to sell and distribute PC games without Steam, and many of the smallest indie devs do so before they release on Steam.
English
The fact that game makers are annoyed at steam’s 30% cut.
Like you know you can make a physical copy or make usb version of your game?
No, too expensive? And for that reason you chose to use steam and willingly agreed to their platform’s terms?
These companies need to shut up
English
@blessedtism @The0neulost Marketing and a store front to sell your game. While getting instant feedback from users, where you would need to spend money on game testers to test the game. Now you can just put it on early access and get free input. Allowing game developers to focus only on making good games.
English
@blessedtism @The0neulost And rate your game. You are literally able to make a game with zero marketing budget, get on the steam front page just on user scores and still sell millions of copies. Seeing as most marketing budgets range from 20 to 50% of the overall game budget. Steam is offering better...

@ThompsoncreekW @unbalancedChaos @conor64 @JerryTurin Greek culture. This might be a slight tangent to the race swapping. But I think it points to what artistic license should be allowed to other people's history and beliefs.
English
@ThompsoncreekW @unbalancedChaos @conor64 @JerryTurin Those people may be gone, and no one know believes what they believe. But does this mean we can rework other people's religions because you could argue that all religion is fiction. Never mind that all Greek heros believed in those gods and stories and played a massive part in...

You can't cast a black man to play Lincoln or a white woman to play King w/o altering the essence of the story. But w/ Helen of Troy the essential attribute is beauty, not historically accurate ethnicity––no one complained when the German actress Diane Kruger played her.
Charles Murray@charlesmurray
DEI causes me to feel fatigue. "Diversity," "equity," and "inclusion" aren't inherently bad; it's the distortion of the concepts in implementation that fatigues. Christopher Nolan casting a black woman as Helen of Troy in The Odyssey causes me to feel hostility. It is a deliberate assault on a treasure of Western Civilization. But the same thing applies on a lesser scale to the casting in Bridgerton. It's a distortion of a historical setting in the service of an ideology, and I find it offensive. OTOH, I'm old and grumpy.

@atkinsmike1 @reztneM @boykoae @waitbutwhy @grok There are. This is probably one of the longest rabbit holes you can go down if you ever want to.
Unfortunately the big bang is only a theory. It could be the start of the whole universe, or just the observable universe in this area of the "universe".
English
@snail8911 @reztneM @boykoae @waitbutwhy @grok My physics is pretty dismal, but if the universe started at a point, physically and in time, and then expanded at a finite speed for a finite period, then by definition it is not infinite.
Unless there are other starting assumptions.

In fairness evolution has had 4 billion years to work on this and we’ve only been at it for a few thousand years
Andrew Côté@Andercot
It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.
English
@atkinsmike1 @reztneM @boykoae @waitbutwhy @grok That being said. I do view evolution as the vehicle God used for creation. And none of this will prove or disprove Him.
English
@atkinsmike1 @reztneM @boykoae @waitbutwhy There is no data that shows the universe is not infinite and is currently a leading theory.
@grok can the universe be infinite?
Added to the fact we have already found the building blocks of RNA and DNA an asteroids is a pretty good first step.
