For me I was never a big fan of one president. But I chose Ike because I like studying WWII and he was the Supreme Allied Commander. I also agree with his politics the most of all the presidents. He’s also what I think a president should be. A figurehead that isn’t super political that the people like.
There had been candidates who were governors of southern states but they weren’t in office at the time of their candidacy. Strom Thurmond ran for president while he was governor of South Carolina but he was not a major party candidate. Clinton was also the first sitting governor to be elected since FDR.
Messi knows his time is up so he announces his international retirement so he can have his final farewell game with tens of thousands of fans cheering his name. Ronaldo could have done the same but instead he’s being forced out by his own federation. The guy knows he’s 41 and yet thinks he can continue playing. It’s obvious that their new manager knows that Ronaldo can’t play every game but Ronaldo thinks he should be starting for some reason. You’re washed dude. Accept it. Imagine seeing your team win and turning your back on them and your traveling fans.
Did anyone think that Team was on the Hunger Games soundtrack? Until a few months ago I thought it was on the Hunger Games Catching Fire soundtrack. I know Lorde was on it, but I didn’t know till recently that Team wasn’t on it. I probably thought that because of the music video, which looks like it could be from the Hunger Games. That’s another thing, I seem to remember the music video having scenes from the movie.
Managing great players is not easy. You have to keep all their egos in check. You have to keep all of them happy. You have to convince them that your way of playing is going to win. There’s also so much more pressure from outside to succeed. You don’t have that at smaller teams. It especially annoys me when it’s someone like Pep who is a coach that has a recognized style of play, because it’s not like he’s just standing on the sidelines twiddling his thumbs and letting his talent carry him. Having talent helps but without his tactics his teams wouldn’t be as successful as they are. You can have great players on a team but if you don’t have a manager the team can get behind then even a great team can look awful.
Wait
I’m not trans so forgive my ignorance, but why did she want Peter to put the mask on? I understand it was shocking for her to see the cis male version of herself but if she’s already transitioned and doesn’t like that anymore, why didn’t she want to see Peter’s face?
So recently I just finished Mother 1 for the second time. I beat it for the first time like 5 years ago so I decided to play it again because I didn’t remember as much from the game and I just got NSO. And I have to say it’s a lot better than I remember. It’s still my least favorite of the trilogy but I definitely like it more now. It’s definitely not as grindy as I remember it being. The only times I really had to grind was the first time I got to Magicant and when Loid and Ana joined the party. The random encounters were of course annoying but I do remember going long stretches without encounters. Duncan’s Factory wasn’t as bad as I remember. It’s a huge place but if you stick to the left, you should get to the top fairly easily. I found the swamp to be more annoying than Duncan’s Factory. Something else I noticed about this game is there aren’t that many boss fights. There’s several dungeons but there’s not really any big boss fights at the end of them. There was the Starman Jr in the zoo, the Fish sort of, the Robots, the Dragon, and Giegue. That’s pretty much it. Mother is definitely the hardest of the three games but I enjoyed the difficulty. Overall I’m glad I replayed this game. It can be frustrating but it’s worth it for the story, the music, and the gameplay.
Log Cabin and Cider - General Harrison was born in a log cabin and had humble beginnings just like General Jackson. This shows that he was a man of the people and was just like them. Unlike ELITIST DEMOCRATS LIKE MARTIN VAN BUREN. Wait he was actually born on a plantation. NO ONE CARES, there’s a picture of a lot cabin. Accept it. Who know what he would have done if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY PNEUMONIA.
A Great Campaign - Harrison showed he was a man of the people by going around the United States ON A TRAIN to actually meet voters and give rallies. IMAGINE THAT, A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ACTUALLY REACHING OUT TO VOTERS. No one had traveled to different parts of the country to campaign before. Harrison was revolutionary in that aspect. His rallies were popular and gave people comfort during the Panic of 1837, which VAN RUIN CAUSED. He would have ended it in a second if he was CUT DOWN BY PNEUMONIA.
His inauguration speech - Harrison’s inauguration speech was the longest on record. Totaling 8,455 words. A President giving a long speech is a sign that HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE JOB and that he wanted to tell the American people, explicitly what he was going to do and that he was going to get rid of the monarchical tendencies that Jackson had and that he believed in limited government. We don’t know what reforms he would have made because he was CUT DOWN BY PNEUMONIA.
Tippecanoe - What really made Harrison a hero to the American public and arguably why he was elected was his success in the battle of Tippecanoe. Native American leader Tecumseh BRUTALLY ATTACKED AND AMERICAN CAMP BY SURPRISE. The camp was lead by Harrison and despite the surprise his army completely repelled Tecumseh’s army and they marched into the Tecumseh’s village AND BURNED IT TO THE GROUND. That’s what a leader does, win battles. Unfortunately he couldn’t do that as president because he was CUT DOWN BY PNEUMONIA.
Winning the War of 1812 - HE FUCKING WON THE WAR OF 1812 AND HE DIDNT DO IT FROM HIS CHAIR LIKE FUTURE GENERALS. He repelled the British at every opportunity. Taking back fallen cities like Detroit. Defending Fort Wayne. And DESTROYING the British at the Battle of the Thames. Which KICKED THEM OUT OF THE US FOREVER. And he did it while LEADING HIS MEN INTO BATTLE. He didn’t hide at his command post like future generals. HE LED THEM INTO BATTLE. THATS WHAT A LEADER DOES. Wait are you telling me that was way before he was President. WHO GIVES A FUCK. HE DID IT. AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT PRESIDENT IF HE WASNT CUT DOWN BY PNEUMONIA.
I’m sure his mind was blown.
Ronaldo was top scorer in Europe’s top 5 leagues, 4 times period.
Messi has better stats(G/A, goal ratio, assists, etc). He has more trophies(48>35). And he’s better on the eye test. So what makes Ronaldo better at football.
I don’t just mean better than Messi. But why is he the greatest of all time, better than everyone else. What has he done to warrant being called better than everyone else.
Some Austrian league player scored 39 in 08/09 but Austria isn’t in the top 5 leagues.
If you don’t know about Football’s Greatest it’s a documentary series which covered the careers of several all time great players. This series premiered in 2010 in anticipation of the World Cup. Messi didn’t get his own documentary about him since his career was still young but in the episode where they went over the contenders that didn’t get full episodes, messi was mentioned despite being only 22 at the time. Easily the youngest player on this list. He would have an episode made about him in 2014 when the next season started. If they ever bring this series back, I hope there’s an updated episode about Messi.
This was before he had dementia so I’m sure he was aware of it. Obviously Bush was his VP but they definitely had disagreements.
I’ve thought he was the goat for a long time but 2022 was a goat level performance. When you look at all the sports and the greatest players of those sports you have certain campaigns in mind. The 2022 World Cup was that for Messi. To galvanize his team the way he did when they didn’t have the best team on paper shows how much of a goat he is. You have to remember that a lot of the players he had weren’t the best players in their positions. I doubt most people could name most of the players on that team before 2021. And for him to guide that team to the World Cup is what makes me put him above others. He didn’t have the greatest players but he made them run through walls for him. And obviously to play like he did at 35. Dribbling, scoring crucial goals, making crucial penalties, making amazing passes to set up him teammates. Not falling down after Mbappe equalized. That’s what goats do.
Imagine saying that Ronaldo getting injured and watching his team win the euros without him is why he’s the goat and why he’s better than Messi. Imagine if a goat from any other sport got injured and their team won the finals without them. Would they use that in the goat debate. No that would be stupid. Now don’t get me wrong, he was still part of that success. But the fact that they won without him shows they were still a good team. Ronaldo had like 2 good games that tournament and didn’t even win POTT. Portugal mainly won that because of their defense. Only conceded one KO goal and ronalod fans act like he was like Maradona in 1986.
Pierce is from New Hampshire which is part of New England. There were two presidents born in Vermont and one in Connecticut but none of them lived in those states at the time of their election to the presidency.
I keep hearing Ronaldo fans say you don’t need the World Cup to be the goat. And I would agree. I always thought Messi was better before the World Cup. But now that he’s won it, what has Ronaldo done that supersedes a World Cup to make him the goat. He doesn’t have the most trophies, he doesn’t have a World Cup, he doesn’t have the most g/a, he doesn’t have the most dribbles.
