yeah maybe because she can take a stand for herself and doesn’t need 300 of your twitter accounts activated every time there is something embarrassing 😂
As brilliant and utterly irrepressible as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions during his illustrious career when opponents — and certainly opposition fans — have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees.
What is certain is that, between scoring his first and second goals against Algeria, he got lucky. A challenge on Algeria captain Aissa Mandi, who was caught by Messi on his right calf and Achilles tendon, could have earned at least a yellow card — and plausibly a red card — but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was content to award a free kick.
It was a strange incident. Mandi was in control of the ball, going nowhere fast, and there was little prospect of dispossessing him from Messi’s position. To make a lunge like that, with his studs up, seemed incomprehensible, never mind dangerous.
Special treatment? At the very least it was lenient refereeing. A yellow card would perhaps have been the most widely expected outcome — a red card second — but Messi was certainly lucky to get away scot-free.

bashing a free public library (minus the refundable security deposit) with 15,000 books in a country with a massive need of young readers because people cannot use it as a room to study for unrelated tests is so insane to me
lol no. The answer is fairly straightforward. You poach indian talent from the big labs and pay them obscenely well and give them a blank cheque. Many countries have done this to establish local ecosystems across various industries. Solution is not to create a mission and put the very same folks who advocate not working at the model layer to lead it.
Sorry sir. With due respect, Indian tech titans sat on their hands for almost a decade now and even professed that India can just build around applications and build its moat. Now when sovereign imperatives demand, the same tech titans seeking the driver’s seat is untenable.
Chinese have been using the shadow fleet to transport oil for years, but not once their ships have come under attack.
So spare us this sanctioned fleet rhetoric. 🙃🙃🙃
