Beware of you lot. You love talking about history and playing style.
First of all, the playing style isn’t some Catalan invention, Barcelona. You stole that idea from the Netherlands. So it’s not like it’s some uniquely Catalan thing. Total football belongs to the Netherlands.
Second, when it comes to history and culture, what culture are you even talking about? You guys have always presented yourselves as people fighting for freedom, yet you kept sucking up to the dictator Franco. You waited more than 40 years to renounce the medals Franco gave you because you had to make sure he was dead first.
You signed your first-ever superstar, Kubala, with Franco's help. You fast-tracked his citizenship and gave him everything he needed to stay and get around the foreign-player restrictions that were pretty notorious in Spain at the time.
So literally nothing you said actually lines up with reality.
The playing style you claim is “Barça” was never actually Barça’s to begin with. It’s something you took from others. And this whole identity of relying on young players? You never relied on young players when you had money. When you had the cash, you went out and broke the all-time transfer record. You did it with Cruyff, you did it with Koeman too, not to mention what you did under Núñez and later Bartomeu.
So if Barcelona is known for anything, it’s being a walking, talking contradiction.
As for us, at least when we portray ourselves as the most successful club in the world, we actually behave like it. We never claimed to be some club that relies exclusively on youngsters, even though we did win five La Liga titles in a row with the help of young players
something your club has never done in its entire existence.
We’re more authentic than your club in a way that should honestly make you embarrassed to even bring this shit up.
As someone who has been bitten by a scorpion, a dog and a snake, I’ll tell you that, based on my personal experience, scorpion pain is the worst. It’s the kind of pain I can’t even properly explain. It feels like an electric shock running through your body. It’s extremely uncomfortable, and you can be in horrible pain for hours. But once the venom has run its course, you suddenly feel instant relief and almost forget that it happened.
Snakebite is completely different. When a snake bites you, at least from my experience, the actual bite itself isn’t very painful. It feels more like a small scratch. It’s not the kind of pain that immediately shoots through your nerves and makes you jump or even realise you’ve been bitten. That’s actually how I ended up walking around with a snake wrapped around my leg without knowing it was a snake.
Funny story: the snake had actually bitten me and wrapped itself around my leg while I was walking, and I had no idea. I felt something around my leg, but because it wasn’t particularly painful, I assumed my slippers had caught some nylon, rope, trash or something. So I kicked my leg to shake it off and kept walking. I took a few more steps and could still feel something attached to my leg. I was like, what the hell is this thing that I can’t get rid of? That was when I finally looked down and saw an actual snake tangled around my leg.
The way I screamed, raised my leg and slammed it against the ground with everything in me! 😂 That was what finally made it release my leg and run away.
If the bite itself had been excruciating, there’s no way I would have kept walking without even looking down. Even after I discovered the snake, I still wasn’t feeling pain. By the time I got to our gate, blood was already gushing from my leg, but I still wasn’t in serious pain. The whole house went into a frenzy when they saw the blood. They tied a scarf around my leg because they believed it would stop the poison from spreading and took me to a herbalist and all of that.
At first, it was just slight pain, but then I started feeling tightness in my chest after someme minutes of getting bitten like 20 to 30 minutes after. As the hours passed, the pain on my leg kept getting worse. Eventually, it became unbearable. I was crying and wishing for death. My leg became extremely swollen, and I couldn’t walk without assistance. I was constantly irritated because I was in so much pain.
The pain continued for days before I started feeling better. After about a week, the skin on my leg started peeling, and apparently that was considered a good sign that I was recovering. Thankfully, I eventually got better.
The dog bite was the least painful experience of the three. I only really felt the pain when the dog bit me. I took anti-tetanus medication and went to a herbalist the next day. He rubbed something on the place where the dog bit me, plucked some leaves from a tree in his compound, hit them against my leg three times while reciting some incantations, and somehow two dog teeth fell out from the wound. 😂 He took the teeth, applied some medicine and told me to go home.
So, if I’m ranking them purely by the pain I felt immediately when I was bitten or stung, my personal ranking is:
Snake - least painful.
Dog - next.
Scorpion - by far the most painful.

i'm in love with this quote:

@the_Lawrenz They all couldn't believe the amount of heat JJ was receiving, and since he's not active on X,they all want to share from the heat by defending him
They'll have the impression they so much want

Cap's thinking was pretty shortsighted, he's looking at matters subjectively,Wanda on house arrest and whatnot
You calling Tony emotional,naive and impulsive can be mirrored to Cap's actions instead,not to talk of him trying to rescue his friend on the run who killed Tony's fam
Tony was still right imo, it's just going to take Accords/govt another strike for them to reconsider their stance,they wanting to control superhumans, will certainly backfire and that's exactly what Tony was waiting for,do their bidding and make them see their mistake themselves
Civil War is a perfect litmus test of how you are as a person. If you’re Team Iron Man, you’re an emotional, naive and impulsive person who cannot step back and look at the bigger picture. And ironically, that is exactly who Tony was.
Maturity is realising Steve was absolutely right. He understood what the Accords could eventually mean for the Avengers. He looked at the bigger picture. And that’s why every member of Team Iron Man who stood against Steve eventually realised he was right.
Tony realised he was wrong and came back to help Steve. Rhodey backed Steve against Ross in Infinity War. Black Panther realised he was fighting the wrong battle and helped Steve and Bucky. Natasha called out Tony and helped Steve. Vision also understood Steve’s position and called him for help in Infinity War.
Cap was right. And Mjolnir choosing him in Endgame was the perfect punctuation mark.
🚨Barcelona Did It To PSG — Now Atlético Madrid Is Doing The Same To Barcelona🚨
Let’s be honest here, because the history speaks for itself.
Back in 2017, PSG wanted Neymar. Barcelona never wanted to negotiate because Neymar was NOT FOR SALE.
Then Neymar made it clear that he wanted the move and wanted Barcelona to negotiate with Paris Saint-Germain.
I remember reports at the time that PSG were willing to offer more than €100M, but Barcelona still didn’t want to sell.
So what did Barcelona do?
They pointed PSG directly to Neymar’s €225M release clause.
The message was simple: We are not selling Neymar. If you really want him, pay the clause.
And honestly, back in 2017, €225M sounded almost impossible.
Paul Pogba was the world record transfer at around €90M when Manchester United signed him from Juventus.
So when Barcelona put a €225M clause on the table, everyone understood what it meant, “they had no intention of negotiating a normal transfer.”
PSG didn’t complain.
PSG didn’t play the victim.
PSG didn’t try to make Barcelona look like the villain.
They paid the €225M release clause and took Neymar.
That was class.
They wanted the player, Barcelona didn’t want to sell, so they paid the price and got the deal done.
Now fastforward to 2026.
Barcelona wants Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid.
Atlético Madrid says NO.
They don’t want to sell their player.
Barcelona has managed to convince Álvarez , and he wants the move, but that still doesn’t change Atlético’s position not to sell.
The club has pointed to his €500M release clause.
Wait a minute…
Isn’t that exactly what Barcelona did with Neymar? 🤔
Barcelona told PSG: You want Neymar? Pay €225M.
Atlético Madrid is essentially saying: You want Álvarez? Pay €500M.
The difference is that PSG accepted the challenge.
Barcelona, instead of simply paying the clause, is now making Atlético Madrid look like the villain for refusing to sell a player they don’t want to sell.
You cannot have it both ways.
When Barcelona didn’t want to sell Neymar, the release clause was perfectly valid.
When Atlético Madrid doesn’t want to sell Álvarez, suddenly the release clause becomes a problem.
The rules cannot change just because you are on the other side of the negotiation.
If Barcelona truly believes Julián Álvarez is worth it, there is a €500M clause.
Pay it. Take the player. And move on.
That is exactly what PSG did in 2017.
Football has a funny way of bringing things full circle. 😂😂😂😂
She knew exactly what was coming… but still opened her mouth. 😳🪙
One coin. One choice. One moment that changed everything.
Would YOU have swallowed it… or would you have walked away knowing what it meant?

GTAForums user Vice Cit did an investigation on CyberLeek, the alleged GTA VI leaker.
1) All funds trace directly back to one crypto wallet on one platform (KuCoin). This platform requires ID verification to use.
2) He estimates that the leaker has made about $50K so far in transaction fees
3) They're also sitting on nearly $400K of unsold tokens, which can be sold slowly
4) This is likely the reason why the leaks are being drip-fed - so he can keep the cryptotoken relevant and trading for as long as possible. The polls are one example of this
5) Authorities could subpoena KuCoin to demand the identity of the account holder, all of their transaction records, and more
