It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
We are slowly removing coincidence out of our lives. We don't pick a restaurant before even checking the ratings. We don't hear music before the algorithm ever predicts we'll like it. We don't even take a route before maps removes the wrong turn. Barely meet someone even before checking their profile. And none of that is necessarily bad. But that's what makes it interesting because every tool nowadays removes every tiny bit of uncertainty, but uncertainty is where a lot of your favorite memories came from. The place you found by accident, the friend you met because the plans changed. The street you weren't supposed to be on that ended up having the best restaurant you've ever been to. We've optimized our life so well to the point where nothing unexpected ever has room to even happen and a life with no accidents is easier to manage, but it's just harder to remember.
"Wasting time" might be one of the strangest accusations we've ever invented.
Apparently you can waste 2:00 p.m. by sitting under a tree doing nothing. The afternoon was going to pass either way. The Earth was going to rotate either way. But because you didn't convert those hours into money, errands or improvement, we decided the time itself was wasted. As if simply being alive isn't enough to justify an afternoon.

JAJAJAJAJA cómo vas a relatar un gol así? Bambino querido.
⚠️🗣️ Atención a estas palabras de Michael Owen sobre su idea de NO PONER BARRERA para tiros libres lejanos:
“Veía el tiro libre de Szoboszlai y pensaba: ‘creo que la barrera en esta situación es un obstáculo’.
No me sorprendería que, dentro de poco, cuando los equipos tengan un tiro libre desde tan lejos, más de 30 metros, el arquero se pare en el medio y no haya barrera. Apuesto a que ni siquiera tendría que tirarse.
Estoy seguro de que podría simplemente moverse de lado y atajarla. La barrera en esa situación es un obstáculo para el arquero y no para el pateador. El arquero no llega a ver bien. Además, le da al pateador un objetivo para pasar la pelota por encima, una referencia. Y entonces el arquero siempre tiene que moverse hacia un lado del arco o hacia el otro.
Si el arquero se queda en el medio y no hay nada delante de él, lo que pasaría es que los rivales empezarían a bloquear. Ellos mismos armarían su propia barrera. Y eso te muestra que el ejecutante del tiro libre quiere que haya una barrera, porque le da un punto de referencia.
Desde 18 metros necesitas una barrera. Pero desde 30, creo que la barrera es un obstáculo para el arquero”.
