Honestly I’d trust Gerrard and Lange’s opinions more than either ‘analytics’ twitter accounts or a few cherry picked opinions from fans who confirm your preconceptions (who btw we have no guarantee know the difference between their arse and their elbow) If there’s someone in the game today who knows what they are talking about when it comes to midfield play then it’s our manager and if he rates him then Im all in.

Fair perfume/aftershave ads are some of the absolute worst out there

Thanks guys! I’m currently reading up on surface tension of liquids and it’s a lot more interesting than it sounds

Iconic French fashion designer Thierry Mugler, dead at 73 probably not one a huuuuge amount of people on here will be aware of but a very influential designer, especially in the drag scene where he pretty much defined modern drag fashion. Has a lot of love in the trans community because he was using transwomen as models in his shows as earlier as the 1980’s which was a reeeeally big step.

I have never understood why 90% of the time you try to transfer a liquid from one glass to another it just trickles down the outside of the glass and runs off the bottom rim. It almost seems like anti gravity to me sometimes

Just went to make dinner and only noticed now that my fridge freezer must have given up the ghost at some point in the day so much stuff in my freezer I won’t be able to use

Bit of a different take as it’s an adult animation and it’s pretty basic musically but as an altogether intro for me it’s Season 6 of BoJack Horseman. They modify the animation on the intro every major story beat and the gradual removal of characters from the intro as BoJack alienates and destroys everyone around him until his previously bustling mad, comedy set of a house slowly empties until he is completely alone is really well done. Then they changed it entirely for season 6 which is just essentially a walkthrough of the trauma and darkest moments of one of the best morally bad protagonists I have ever seen on TV (he’s not evil just a reeeeally reeeeally shitty person) and if you are invested enough in the show to GET to season six then centring it around the planetarium is heartbreaking after the events that had previously taken place there.

Does it not irritate your scalp horribly?

Grim.

…fair

A much harder question than the dislike thread but you gotta exercise the old self esteem or it shrivels so…I feel like I have a pretty high level of empathy and I always make myself available when friends or family need support

That’s a good idea. We should be able to get a good angle of a few of their regularly targeted sign posts from our porch

Someone keeps plastering neo-nazi stickers on all of the lamp posts and signs around my house…I don’t THINK my partner and I are being targeted specifically but it’s still deflating and infuriating to see EDIT: This is something that very much SHOULD piss me off but I’m not sure if there is a thread for that

My jawline and nose, HRT has done a lot for me but I started a bit later in life than is 100% perfect so I still think my jaw and nose are bit not quite how I want them to be but hey, the nose is fixable. beyond that I struggle pretty bad with anorexia so any fatty bits really stress me out too

Need to make some changes soon to get the game back on our terms. Ings on for Watkins and Samson on for Coutinho I think

Commentators are blaming EMI celebrating for their troglodyte fans throwing shit at our players, unreal

EMI!!!

Holy shit a card!

Nervous for this, would have loved them to persist with Rafa for another week. Great team picked though, an early goal for us would be great to take some of the enthusiasm out of them.

Meatloaf has a bit of a strange reputation down in this part of the world. He performed at half time during the 2011 AFL grand final (think Australian Super Bowl kinda) and it was notoriously awful. The AFL CEO of the time called booking him ‘the single worst mistake of my career’ honestly it’s always given me a bit of a soft spot for him and I’m sad to hear of his passing

My girlfriend bought me a gigantic stuffed Pokèmon to cheer me up a bit because I’m still suffering from the COVID. I know it’s pretty silly as a 28year old woman but hey, she knows what I like

Over here Bikies tend to be distinct from bikERS as such as the implication tends to be they are involved in organised crime and the drug trade rather just being moterbike enthusiasts. A lot of the biggest meth operations in the country are run by bikie gangs here and news stories about them tend to be always about criminal activities. There was an incident recently where a driver caught dashcam footage of himself being chased and rammed repeatedly by an axe waving bikie as the driver happened to be caught scouting out the area around their clubhouse for dirt biking just as they were disciplining an errant bikie by cutting his hands off or so it was reported
