Very random but it's wild to me that United signed van der Sar a month before his 35th birthday. Wonder how people would react to that now.

Madrid wants to avoid free agency but can finesse top players to leave their clubs as a free agent in their prime. NICE

🚨 Real Madrid raise contract offer to Vinicius Junior. Proposal said to reflect 26yo’s importance to #RMFC & project. Decision time for Brazil int’l - renewal, await free agency next summer (club want to avoid) or pursue Arsenal opportunity @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/WvftHt6y84

And they are also forgetting that the only reason Peter found about this fraud was because Lagos state govt asked everyone to declare their tax and the representative sent to Psquare house for clarification somehow spilled the mystery “Northside music”

Allow me give a not so brief history lesson so we can all understand what is going on here.

For much of European history, pale skin was a marker of status. An elite woman was supposed to have skin that had barely been under the sun because pale skin signalled she did not work outdoors.

In a world where most people spent their lives labouring under the sun to survive, avoiding the sun was evidence of wealth.

The rich could stay indoors and send the poor outside to work for them. This is why they wore gloves and wide hats when outside. It is also where the term blue blood comes from; rich families who never did physical labour and thus were rarely in the sun had skin so pale the veins underneath would show.

So to be tanned meant to do outdoor labour, and to do outdoor labout meant to be poor.

But as the industrial revolution came around and factories multiplied, the poor who had previously laboured outdoors were pulled indoors to work in factories, workshops and later offices rather than under the sun

And their skin became paler.

Now if the poor could become pale skinned simply by working indoors, then pale skin could no longer communicate wealth, so the elite abandoned the old signal and switched to a new one: tanned skin.

Because now it meant only they had the time and money to lie in the sun while everyone else worked indoors.

Pale meant rich, tanned meant poor. Then pale meant poor so the rich did a 180 and went back to tanned.

That is exactly the same thing that is happening here. Wiresless ear buds generally, and airpods specifically meant rich. Wired earphones meant poor.

Then when everyone could afford wiresless ear buds and their replica knock-offs, wireless meant poor and the 'rich' who differentiated themselves with wiresless in the past, switched back to wired.

It is not because they "got tired of charging their wireless earbuds"

Away from the history lesson, the broader explanation is that humans crave to be seen. We do not want to go through life unnoticed. This is why we do only spend money to enjoy ourselves, we spend money so that others can see us spending money.

And one of the most common, socially acceptable ways of doing so is through the things we wear. For example. We do not spend money on watches that could buy a car so we can check the time. We spend that money so others can see that we spent money.

The point of the spending is the spending witnessed.

And with that, we signal that we are high status and that signal brings us attention .

But this flex has a fundamental flaw in the sense that the moment the status signal works, those below begin to copy it until it loses its utility.

So what happens to a status marker when those below can afford it too?

Simple; those above abandon it.

In conclusion, The things we buy, wear, drive, or use are driven by 1) the desire to belong and 2) the desire to stand out.

You want to look like the people above you to feel among, but you also want to look different from the people below you to stand out.

So the rich adopt a signal
The wannabe middle class copies it
And the majority poor copy the wannabes

And once the signal becomes widespread enough, it stops doing the job it was intended to do. Then the elite abandon it and look for a new one.

Sometimes they move to something more expensive or difficult to acquire. Sometimes they move to something obscure enough that the wannabes and the poor can't even grasp it. And sometimes, as with tanning and wired earphones, they do a 180 and move in the opposite direction.

It happens with clothes, bags, earphones, restaurants, language and so on.

The rich keep moving. The middle class keeps chasing, and the poor keep copying. And the markers of status keep changing. And on and on and on it goes.

[KING CHIDI @guzu_p]

I have finished watching Mr P part 1 and 2 video saying his side of the story and will watch the part 3 when he drops it. All i have to say is, if you have not watched the full video, don't ever come out to say he's the problem.

• Paul and Jude were distributing funds amongst themselves from the PSQUARE music profiting
• They exempted Mr P from his share of music royalties for years
• All these years, he was only aware of three accounts sending money whereas they had over 11 different accounts sending funds
• When they were looking to sell their music catalog, jude had to tell the bank manager of the PSQUARE various account to not send Mr P the bank statements of an account he was a shareholder
• They created a different account called Northside Music in which they use to diversify the funds, which is why Mr P was never aware of the royalties

Imagine an account you're a shareholder of, your twin and your senior brother went behind your back to create another account so only both of them will be receiving future music proceeds and when the government came for taxes, they expected him to pay from funds he never had access to since 2017?

Now, I understand why P Square can never be back. Imagine your twin brother ganging up with your older brother to financially exploit you for years?

We all wanted PSQUARE back but never knew what went on behind the scenes. Now, I feel selfish for always being pissed that they broke up.

After watching the video, I now understand one thing. It's ok if they end up reconciling but they mustn't do music together. If PSQUARE will only end up bringing issues amongst them, it's best they go their separate ways in music and can still relate as brothers if they want.

PSQUARE can never happen and it's for the best. Fans should accept that and respect their decision.

At the end of the day, Mr P is a good man and nobody will take a quarter of what he tolerated in the hands of Jude and Rudeboy.

They are not 18, but they showed them fake ID cards showing they are way above 18, the prod team literally had to find further to discover they are below 18
Any law that punishes a man after seeing their fake IDs (and thinks they are adult)for doing anything with these kind of devious girls is not one that is fair and just law.

This is so true

[Walter Ude @Udewalter_]

Antonio Silva is exactly why I’ve been against Manchester United paying huge fees based purely on potential. Two years ago, Benfica wanted around €90m for António Silva when United were heavily linked. Today, Bournemouth are signing him for roughly €21.4m plus a potential €4.3 add-ons. That’s football. Potential doesn’t always become elite production. Players like Eliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes with those overpriced valuations can turn out like Antonio Silva in two years’ time. This is why I keep saying INEOS must stop buying hype and start buying proven profiles that fit Carrick’s system. The “Manchester United tax” is only real if you’re willing to keep paying it.

@iviwe_mlilwana @jaccboi222 @Lewie441 @heis_fede Ferran Torres who you called shit just scored the World Cup winning goal for Spain and has averaged 20 goals every season in his last two seasons for Barca even with limited playing time.
While you sit on your sofa with junks in your mouth behind an anonymous account🤡

[Lucas😈 @itzmikelucas]

@iviwe_mlilwana @jaccboi222 @Lewie441 @heis_fede He’s scoring goals 40+ club goals every season doing what a striker is signed to do. But yea, I shouldn’t show you goals.
He won titles in his last two seasons at PSG and won two titles in his first season at Madrid. Your ball knowledge is empty I guess.
