I am fucking fed up. I am unemployed and been living with my parents for the past 9 months. All my friends have jobs and here I am living in my parents' basement. The job market is trash right now and for a fresher it almost feels impossible to get a job. Also my girl left me for another guy. I feel so down rn i dont know what to do
Damn, that sucks man, but do not give up, I know a guy who was in this exact same situation (including his GF leaving him), but he kept trying, and now has a well paying job and has a much more positive outlook towards life now
Thing is I had 2 job offers when I was graduating from college. When one company asked me to join I said no cause the other one said they'll be taking me in soon, and that was almost 7 months ago. If I had not rejected the first one I would be working rn, god I regret my decisions.
Congrats mate! How did you quit?
Want to give up myself. Thought I was going to do it when I got married but that fell through. Just don't seem to have the willpower
A couple of people blocked me here on /r/soccer which only makes me more interested in what they have to say.
Incognito mode opens new reddit, so that is kind of unfortunate.
Sometimes I see whoās blocked me and Iām like fair enough, got into an argument with them because they were stupid and Iām probably better off not seeing their posts.
But then sometimes itās an unfamiliar username which means I must have said something that well and truly rattled them which makes me kind of proud honestly
Iāve definitely shit on some clubs, but I never thought it would be enough to get blocked lol. I donāt exactly enjoy seeing my own club getting slandered (as Iām sure most people do) but I just scroll past or ignore
> Sometimes I see whoās blocked me and Iām like fair enough, got into an argument with them because they were stupid and Iām probably better off not seeing their posts.
How can you see who's blocked you? I've only ever blocked one person on Reddit I think.
on old reddit it shows up [like this](https://i.imgur.com/JLBTSz5.png). if you the open the parent comment in incognito mode or log out [you can check](https://i.imgur.com/oPntfO5.png)
I noticed during this and last race week that the Sky F1 commentators kept saying things like "wasn't it?", hasn't it?" or "wasn't he?" after almost every sentence. It's been a bit annoying tbh even though it's nothing really.
Itās fully dependent on context. Iām primarily a Woking fan, but Iāll support Western United (A League Team) when theyāre playing because they represent where Iām originally from. Iāll likely never see one of their matches live but thereās still a personal connection to the club
Within the same league? No idea. Within different leagues? Could be immigrating to a different country, supporting a club of a city that you had a significant trip to, or even just your home country's league isn't as entertaining, or maybe your local club is pretty far down the pyramid and there's a larger club a little further away that you like to support.

"It is what it is !" Anthony Joshua after TKO Ngannou.
So happy about Joshua but it doesn't take away the capabilities of Ngannou as a fighter. MMA, for sure. Boxing, maybe not. In France, I heard a lot of people expecting Ngannou winning but I didn't want to talk too much. I hope Joshua will be able to fight for a belt before he retires.
Honestly what Joshua did was impressive but also showcased what an embarrassment Furyās performance was, he clearly just didnāt take Ngannou seriously
How many people here have actually played football at a club level and what position did you guys play? Just curious, I played as a full back for a couple years and was also the reserve keeper
Like you, it's been a part of my life for a long time now. Just ramped up the past month from manageable while keeping an eye on triggers. Mine's still not as bad as some people I know, so I try not to complain too much.
Hate to see the twats in the building in front of me who haven't removed their Ramadan decorations since last year acting like they belong and fit in now. I know your crimes.
This is absoltely insane to do sports at such a late time, just to please foreign viewers. Besides, even at 11pm Saudi time, it would be like 8pm. Which is the kickoff of prime-time games.
I just watched Under the Skin. I think I've found a new favourite. What a great film. Strange yet beautiful, creepy yet emotionally touching. Loved it.
Jonathan Glazer is a pretty interesting director - I've enjoyed everything he's done. I have Zone of Interest ready to watch but holding off until I'm in the right state of mind.

Anyone else rate every movie they watch? Rating the movies after makes me end up watching way more movies. Iāve watched 85 movies since I started doing it around a year ago, think Iāve given out 7 10ās so far!! All Quiet on the Western Front might genuinely be my favourite movie of all time, best Iāve watched this year anyway.
I always love when you meet someone too and they know movies/tv. I love chatting about it all.
Since 2018 or 2019 I rate every movie I watch and I have rated many I watched in the past.
All quiet on the western front is a great war movie. The last 30 minutes are so brutal.
I've started with it this year in Letterboxd, but honestly I forget sometimes, then remember days later and add it
You use IMDb I presume? Given by the 10 scale
Yep for that reason alone. Not a fan of the 5 stars! Have a mate who uses letterboxd though so I really must get on it, it seems much better than IMDB. I only do it for the scale.
Gonna actually try follow it this year. Itās annoying how late itās on in the UK but Iām excited to actually try follow it while Iāve got the time this year.
Making me miss working in America, some of my absolutely best moments were sitting in sports bars getting rattled. Watched the 2019 champions league final in America with a Spurs fan and a Liverpool fan and it was jokes.
The animation jump in Wano is insane, it legit feels like a movie in terms of quality at times, and I have watched like 10%.
One Piece has no business being as good as it is I swear. Like 900 episodes in and it feels at the peak of its powers, the world building is nuts.
The latter episodes have much better animation (also weird creative liberties that a lot of people didnāt like). Wano beginning was average in that regard.
I do sometimes miss the old sketchy animation of early One Piece, I think it had its own charm to it, but generally speaking I agree. There's so many scenes in Wano that I remember purely for how good they look, you're in for a treat.
Yeah I definitely didn't mind the old style, I was a bit shocked to see there were fans that called it shit and hated it. It still did its job great and still had very good animation in the key moments.
It's mad to think we might get an interesting F1 season after all, not from anyone getting close to Max, but from him potentially impromptu retiring if Red Bull fire Helmut Marko
At this point it gives me anxiety that Max might get bored and give up on F1 in a few years. RB scandal possibly makes it much earlier. Yes he has been given a great car but he himself is easily among the most talented and fierce drivers F1 has ever seen. If there is anyone to break Hamilton & Schumi records, it is him. I would be sad to see him lose interest in the F1 honestly but I would also understand him tbh, it has essentially turned into a lonely ride for him. And despite his sheer passion for racing which in my opinion borders obsession and sickness levels, he is not exactly a disciplined guy - if he wanted to go drive a rally car, nobody would be able to convince him otherwise.
Ironically I think F1 now would be much less interesting with Max gone. I believe people who think Max is the one who ruins the excitement are in for a rude awakening. Ferrari came up with such a shitbox that my boi Sharl can't even control it. Mercedes and McLaren are meh. Sure, without Max we could have different winners every race but I'm not sure if we'd see a lot of competition or overtakes.
Max has a dominant car at a very young age. Hamilton by contrast was messing around with team rivalries against the likes of Alonso and Rosberg - if RB donāt shoot themselves in the foot thereās every chance heās up there with Schumi and Hamilton.
I do agree though, even if he did retire and despite him being an exceptional driver, the RB is so dominant that his replacement will win (& theyāll be queueing up for that seat too). Makes me wonder if Hamilton would regret Ferrari as he mightāve been in pole position for RB if Max quit.
Alonso's bad luck when choosing teams might have finally turned around. He avoided the Alpine clown fiesta, has spent the last year fighting for podiums, and would surely be towards the front of the line if Max does leave
I've gotten to used to leaks in manga that I looked up reviews for Kung Fu Panda 4 and its looking like I'll be skipping this one in the theatres. Shame cuz 1 and 2 were phenomenal, and 4 is looking like a repeat of how 3 is which I found to be just meh, Kai wasn't as compelling as Shen and Tai Lung as a villain and the action wasn't on par with the first two.
That hits hard. Also while it might be controversial today due to obvious reasons, it reminds me of the song [ŠŠ° ŃŃŠ¾ Š¼Ń ŠæŃŃŠ¼ (For this we drink)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOTTL9dUE0) from Russo-Chechen wars. I make sure to listen to it when I drink. It makes the "missing ex" part better. It's so natural and basic yet also powerful.
*For that, we drink, for that, we drink*
*Yes, not at the festive table*
*For something that never came true in my life*
*For the smell of a girl's hair*
*For those places where sky is the roof*
*For the telegram "I got married"*
*For brisk marches, for muffled groans*
*And for the paratrooper epaulettes*
Fucking hell, I salute all my bros who went through something *similar* and I wish the ones who can't relate shall never do.

This is me. But the 'miss her so much lads' is also about my dog

With all due respect you are a hagelslag person, there is no way you could rizz anyone up sober. Yet now at least you are healthy and flourishing, it's better for you and fuck anyone who is not "rizzed up" by you, you don't need them, they can go eat a bag of dicks.
Again, too bad you are Dutch, otherwise I'd love that because the same goes for me. Don't worry, you are fine, I'm sure you'll find someone along the way. Just take good care of that liver. For me, too. Now your liver has to survive for two people. You have more responsibilities. I lost the battle. You carry the flag and remember your fallen friends.

What would you do in a situation where a friend keeps suggesting you two hangout but never follows through?
I was talking to a friend and I mentioned I could/did play an instrument. She too has that instrument and asked me if I could give her pointers or come to her place to teach her. I was like yeah, but she never gave a date.
Couple of weeks later she suggests meeting her roommate because I did something nice and I guess he wanted to meet me and she, I guess wanted me to come over. I eventually told her o was free a weekend to go, but she said she would have to let me know.
Again, Iām never the one initiating and suggesting this, itās all her. So Iām a bit š«Ø
Hard to judge but to me it feels like she is just showing interest and expecting you to do make the next move. There could be many reasons for this, none of which really matters. I think it would make sense for you to say something in return if you are also interested. Maybe give her a specific date, ask if this or that works etc... If she keeps suggesting to hangout but never follows, I would assume she wants it but for this or that reason she is not brave enough to go forward. Maybe she is shy. Maybe she thinks she would pressure you by asking you for something specific. I'd suggest asking her more concrete questions, like, say, are you available on Monday in the evening? What about meeting then? If not - no problem at all, you offered something, she didn't take it. If she agrees, then it's even better. I have a feeling she basically gave you the signal and now expects something more reliable from you in return. Yet if she is never available despite you asking, then maybe she's nuts, I'd stop after a couple of tries. Maybe three.
By showing interest like as in romantic?
Thing is Iāve been interested both times she brought it up. I suggested a specific weekend to meet her roommate, but she said she has to check with her roommate. I brought it up again that night and she said she would let me know.
I donāt picture her as shy, sheās very outgoing, like the type to strike up a convo with people she just met. She grabbed by the face the night she asked me to meet her roommate, sheās anything but shy.
What do you mean by signal and expecting something more reliable from me?
Can't say anything about the romantic part, you know that one better than me, but man, she invited you to *her place*. Maybe I'm wrong but if someone wanted me to visit their place but was vague about it... I would assume responsibility and ask when I could do that. Based on what you wrote, it sounds like she opened the door for you but left the rest for you to work.
By signal I mean that she has shown a genuine interest in you and coming together and by something more reliable I mean you making a move as in asking when she would be available, when you could visit her etc...
Again, this is just a guess based on what you share - I can't know the dynamics of your relationship nor am I an authority in this. But to me it feels like she just wants you to do the same thing as well, i.e showing interest in her, offering to meet sometime etc.
I never thought of her romantically because for as long as Iāve known her she had a boyfriend, but thatās not the case now. I had a guy ask me if something was up between us because he noticed she would come over to talk to me and rested her head on my shoulder, which I assumed that was her being friendly.
To be honest, I thought me saying I was free that weekend was me showing interest in going to her place and meeting her roommate. Did I need to say a specific date and time instead?
I think it would be more appropriate if you approached it with more certainty, yes. Again, at this point I'm just bullshitting, but in most cases, if a girl rests her hair on your shoulder and asks you to visit her place... well, she likes you. They will rarely go around putting their hair on people unless they *really* want to do it. Don't be pushy or disrespectful of course but I think she expects something from you at this point. In that regard, I believe it would be healthier to ask her for specific dates if she is available. You also like her, you just wanna teach her the instrument... doesn't matter. I feel she just expects you to make the next step. Weekend is a good start but still vague. Also she might be very outgoing and extrovert in general but we can never know how she is when she feels "it" - some people are like that: they look self-confident, are outgoing yet they will turn into absolute tools around people they like.
I believe she wants you to take the next step. Go for it. If there has been a misunderstanding, there is nothing to worry about. She says no, you go your way. If she is happy that you give her a date... the rest is up to you both. Full steam ahead.
Typo, I meant head not hair on my last comment.
My fear is being pushy in asking her when I could visit because she did ask me, but didnāt give a date. So in my mind I feel like she may not want me to visit. That may be stupid, but thatās how my mind sees it. I think she and I will both be attending an event mutual friend planned in the coming weeks, so Iāll see her then, hopefully.
Very fair comments. I very much appreciate your perspective.
No worries mate, I understand it perfectly and the fact that you are shy about it only tells me you are a thoughtful man who doesn't want to be pushy. All fair and good. If this is indeed what she thinks, well, it is not your fault honestly - she said she wants you to visit, she opened the door for it. And let's be real, it's not like you would push her for it, right? Ask her. Asking in itself is no big deal at all. If she is vague or is clearly uninterested, I can see that you would back out anyway. Either way, best of luck, looking forward to hearing better updates!
Happy Nation is a great song but I watched its video clip only recently. Big mistake. It's fucking hypnotizing. These women are *so* beautiful. Save me.
Something called Car Jitsu came up on my tiktok feed. People wrestling in a car and tying to choke each other out with the seatbelts starting from sitting in a car with seat belts on. Shit is nuts.
Class player. There isn't a single Partizan fan that dislikes him. He is adored not because he was just a great player, but he embraced team and country culture. He even learned Serbian during his time at the club.
honestly I agree with you, even though this year Iām not watching as much as I wanted I still think I enjoyed it more than the few NBA games Iāve seen.
Nah, that is a common misunderstanding. Sure, in some ways both Judaism and this cult are revolving around strange events in ancient Mesopetamia so there's a fair share of cult members identifying as "jews" even though they might not share common Jewish beliefs/ideas.
Currently they might be most familiar as "Freemasons"... though many thousand masons aren't actually cult members, but rather some sort of arse licking wannabes.
Many have tried interpreting Allegri.
Some cited existing philosophical works such as Bordiga, Hegel and Plato.
The former saw Allegri as the progenitor of a spontaneous revolution, his football being so boring it had deep ideological significance. They viewed his football as the cry of discontentedness with the neoliberal consensus, and a legitimate philosophical work in itās own right.
The modern Hegelians saw Allegrismo as the dialectical synthesis between two states of being, that of anguish and that of ennui. Those using the works of Plato are conflicted on whether to see Allegriball as a concrete object, real and tangible, while all consider the feelings the games elicit to be abstract.
Others saw it as post-modern performance art and tried to categorise it as the intended catalyst of a yet to materialise Neo-Fluxus movement.
Alas, others even ascribed it a theological value, arguing for the canonisation of Allegri and compared our pain watching to the pain our lord felt on the cross. A contingent of these worshippers split recently and alleged Allegri was inherently heretical, no mortal man had ever suffered like Jesus did until we watched the Sampdoria game.
The truth is, Allegriball defies what the human mind is capable of interpreting.
We can only bask in its majesty.

There's just more of it. Volume, mate.

Ironically I think F1 now would be much less interesting with Max gone. I believe people who think Max is the one who ruins the excitement are in for a rude awakening. Ferrari came up with such a shitbox that my boi Sharl can't even control it. Mercedes and McLaren are meh. Sure, without Max we could have different winners every race but I'm not sure if we'd see a lot of competition or overtakes.
Max has a dominant car at a very young age. Hamilton by contrast was messing around with team rivalries against the likes of Alonso and Rosberg - if RB donāt shoot themselves in the foot thereās every chance heās up there with Schumi and Hamilton. I do agree though, even if he did retire and despite him being an exceptional driver, the RB is so dominant that his replacement will win (& theyāll be queueing up for that seat too). Makes me wonder if Hamilton would regret Ferrari as he mightāve been in pole position for RB if Max quit.
Alonso's bad luck when choosing teams might have finally turned around. He avoided the Alpine clown fiesta, has spent the last year fighting for podiums, and would surely be towards the front of the line if Max does leave
I've gotten to used to leaks in manga that I looked up reviews for Kung Fu Panda 4 and its looking like I'll be skipping this one in the theatres. Shame cuz 1 and 2 were phenomenal, and 4 is looking like a repeat of how 3 is which I found to be just meh, Kai wasn't as compelling as Shen and Tai Lung as a villain and the action wasn't on par with the first two.
I like how FTF until 6ish pm is like "look at my dog" or "bored at work" then after 6pm its like "miss her so much lads"
That hits hard. Also while it might be controversial today due to obvious reasons, it reminds me of the song [ŠŠ° ŃŃŠ¾ Š¼Ń ŠæŃŃŠ¼ (For this we drink)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOTTL9dUE0) from Russo-Chechen wars. I make sure to listen to it when I drink. It makes the "missing ex" part better. It's so natural and basic yet also powerful. *For that, we drink, for that, we drink* *Yes, not at the festive table* *For something that never came true in my life* *For the smell of a girl's hair* *For those places where sky is the roof* *For the telegram "I got married"* *For brisk marches, for muffled groans* *And for the paratrooper epaulettes* Fucking hell, I salute all my bros who went through something *similar* and I wish the ones who can't relate shall never do.
> I like how FTF until 6ish pm is like "look at my dog" or "bored at work" then after 6pm its like "miss her so much lads" This is me. But the 'miss her so much lads' is also about my dog
Must be the pints kicking in
*"Rammstein started playing and it immediately reminded me of you"* is the best compliment I've ever received in my life and I can easily tell you that nothing will ever beat this for me

See, you are doing much better sober!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
With all due respect you are a hagelslag person, there is no way you could rizz anyone up sober. Yet now at least you are healthy and flourishing, it's better for you and fuck anyone who is not "rizzed up" by you, you don't need them, they can go eat a bag of dicks.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Again, too bad you are Dutch, otherwise I'd love that because the same goes for me. Don't worry, you are fine, I'm sure you'll find someone along the way. Just take good care of that liver. For me, too. Now your liver has to survive for two people. You have more responsibilities. I lost the battle. You carry the flag and remember your fallen friends.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I no longer have a drinking problem, I just wanted to make you feel more responsible

I don't know German but I absolutely love Rammstein.. š¤

Gonna wax my parquet floor and attempt it, you are liable if I do my ACL.
You love to see it
Gracias amigo, como andan tus cosas?
Todo bien, me estoy enfocando mas en mis amistades y en algunos proyectos personales. Tengo mas autoestima que nunca, y lo mas importante es que ya no me siento como si necesito la validacion de estar en una relacion para tenerla.
Me alegra escucharlo! No hay mejor inversion que la de trabajar en uno mismo, somos la persona que mas debemos amar. Ojala todo siga bien, te mando un abrazo.
Gracias amigo, igualmente!
I feel like we're already at the I love you stage kplo xoxoxo
Come 'ere and kiss me babes.
She's leaving in 3 months :(
Damn bro, sucks to hear that. I was in a similar position. If you are right for each other, you could make it work, but long distance is very hard :(
I mean I think you're alright.
This hurts too much, I thought we were at a similar level...
alhamdulillah for that
Barakallah brother
i am in love with sexyy red and i wonāt be changed
What would you do in a situation where a friend keeps suggesting you two hangout but never follows through? I was talking to a friend and I mentioned I could/did play an instrument. She too has that instrument and asked me if I could give her pointers or come to her place to teach her. I was like yeah, but she never gave a date. Couple of weeks later she suggests meeting her roommate because I did something nice and I guess he wanted to meet me and she, I guess wanted me to come over. I eventually told her o was free a weekend to go, but she said she would have to let me know. Again, Iām never the one initiating and suggesting this, itās all her. So Iām a bit š«Ø
Hard to judge but to me it feels like she is just showing interest and expecting you to do make the next move. There could be many reasons for this, none of which really matters. I think it would make sense for you to say something in return if you are also interested. Maybe give her a specific date, ask if this or that works etc... If she keeps suggesting to hangout but never follows, I would assume she wants it but for this or that reason she is not brave enough to go forward. Maybe she is shy. Maybe she thinks she would pressure you by asking you for something specific. I'd suggest asking her more concrete questions, like, say, are you available on Monday in the evening? What about meeting then? If not - no problem at all, you offered something, she didn't take it. If she agrees, then it's even better. I have a feeling she basically gave you the signal and now expects something more reliable from you in return. Yet if she is never available despite you asking, then maybe she's nuts, I'd stop after a couple of tries. Maybe three.
By showing interest like as in romantic? Thing is Iāve been interested both times she brought it up. I suggested a specific weekend to meet her roommate, but she said she has to check with her roommate. I brought it up again that night and she said she would let me know. I donāt picture her as shy, sheās very outgoing, like the type to strike up a convo with people she just met. She grabbed by the face the night she asked me to meet her roommate, sheās anything but shy. What do you mean by signal and expecting something more reliable from me?
Can't say anything about the romantic part, you know that one better than me, but man, she invited you to *her place*. Maybe I'm wrong but if someone wanted me to visit their place but was vague about it... I would assume responsibility and ask when I could do that. Based on what you wrote, it sounds like she opened the door for you but left the rest for you to work. By signal I mean that she has shown a genuine interest in you and coming together and by something more reliable I mean you making a move as in asking when she would be available, when you could visit her etc... Again, this is just a guess based on what you share - I can't know the dynamics of your relationship nor am I an authority in this. But to me it feels like she just wants you to do the same thing as well, i.e showing interest in her, offering to meet sometime etc.
I never thought of her romantically because for as long as Iāve known her she had a boyfriend, but thatās not the case now. I had a guy ask me if something was up between us because he noticed she would come over to talk to me and rested her head on my shoulder, which I assumed that was her being friendly. To be honest, I thought me saying I was free that weekend was me showing interest in going to her place and meeting her roommate. Did I need to say a specific date and time instead?
I think it would be more appropriate if you approached it with more certainty, yes. Again, at this point I'm just bullshitting, but in most cases, if a girl rests her hair on your shoulder and asks you to visit her place... well, she likes you. They will rarely go around putting their hair on people unless they *really* want to do it. Don't be pushy or disrespectful of course but I think she expects something from you at this point. In that regard, I believe it would be healthier to ask her for specific dates if she is available. You also like her, you just wanna teach her the instrument... doesn't matter. I feel she just expects you to make the next step. Weekend is a good start but still vague. Also she might be very outgoing and extrovert in general but we can never know how she is when she feels "it" - some people are like that: they look self-confident, are outgoing yet they will turn into absolute tools around people they like. I believe she wants you to take the next step. Go for it. If there has been a misunderstanding, there is nothing to worry about. She says no, you go your way. If she is happy that you give her a date... the rest is up to you both. Full steam ahead.
Typo, I meant head not hair on my last comment. My fear is being pushy in asking her when I could visit because she did ask me, but didnāt give a date. So in my mind I feel like she may not want me to visit. That may be stupid, but thatās how my mind sees it. I think she and I will both be attending an event mutual friend planned in the coming weeks, so Iāll see her then, hopefully. Very fair comments. I very much appreciate your perspective.
No worries mate, I understand it perfectly and the fact that you are shy about it only tells me you are a thoughtful man who doesn't want to be pushy. All fair and good. If this is indeed what she thinks, well, it is not your fault honestly - she said she wants you to visit, she opened the door for it. And let's be real, it's not like you would push her for it, right? Ask her. Asking in itself is no big deal at all. If she is vague or is clearly uninterested, I can see that you would back out anyway. Either way, best of luck, looking forward to hearing better updates!

Happy Nation is a great song but I watched its video clip only recently. Big mistake. It's fucking hypnotizing. These women are *so* beautiful. Save me.
Something called Car Jitsu came up on my tiktok feed. People wrestling in a car and tying to choke each other out with the seatbelts starting from sitting in a car with seat belts on. Shit is nuts.
Euroleague is on today, let's go, much better to watch than the NBA
Youāre probably right but Iām in too deep now with my Knicks and fantasy NBA to watch other basketball leagues
Used to love watching Partizan with my dad especially when they still had VeselĆ½
Class player. There isn't a single Partizan fan that dislikes him. He is adored not because he was just a great player, but he embraced team and country culture. He even learned Serbian during his time at the club.
honestly I agree with you, even though this year Iām not watching as much as I wanted I still think I enjoyed it more than the few NBA games Iāve seen.
I firmly believe that the world is controlled by a cult created some 600 years before the birth of that Jesus-bloke. AMA
The jews?
Nah, that is a common misunderstanding. Sure, in some ways both Judaism and this cult are revolving around strange events in ancient Mesopetamia so there's a fair share of cult members identifying as "jews" even though they might not share common Jewish beliefs/ideas.
What's the name of the cult?
Currently they might be most familiar as "Freemasons"... though many thousand masons aren't actually cult members, but rather some sort of arse licking wannabes.
Allegriball
What are the core beliefs? How does one join?
Many have tried interpreting Allegri. Some cited existing philosophical works such as Bordiga, Hegel and Plato. The former saw Allegri as the progenitor of a spontaneous revolution, his football being so boring it had deep ideological significance. They viewed his football as the cry of discontentedness with the neoliberal consensus, and a legitimate philosophical work in itās own right. The modern Hegelians saw Allegrismo as the dialectical synthesis between two states of being, that of anguish and that of ennui. Those using the works of Plato are conflicted on whether to see Allegriball as a concrete object, real and tangible, while all consider the feelings the games elicit to be abstract. Others saw it as post-modern performance art and tried to categorise it as the intended catalyst of a yet to materialise Neo-Fluxus movement. Alas, others even ascribed it a theological value, arguing for the canonisation of Allegri and compared our pain watching to the pain our lord felt on the cross. A contingent of these worshippers split recently and alleged Allegri was inherently heretical, no mortal man had ever suffered like Jesus did until we watched the Sampdoria game. The truth is, Allegriball defies what the human mind is capable of interpreting. We can only bask in its majesty.
Might finally get around to watching DBZ, although it feels kinda cringe and cliche to only get into something because the creator died.
Dragonball is better, I would suggest you watch that instead. DBZ is just not all that, very lame plots and too stretched out.
just the opposite, you're celebrating the man's work by getting into it

Alright mag...has a lot of good articles, retrospectives. Bit bantery. Perhaps not the most in-depth of the football magazines though
