Oh well, let's just be said it is not as stupid as this win-rugby-tickets-marriage.

Of course! But in-story was a huge discussion if it is a weird, wrong usage of gay marriage, hence my interest ^^

Hmm, that kind of reminds me of the marriage between Denny and Allan in the end of Boston Legal. Only this rugby story is a couple of magnitudes more stupid. Wonder what you think about the Boston Legal Marriage?

That is what I mean. They make it worse. Teams who get relegated have so much more money, they can outspend everyone else.

Fans actually hate it. Think FC United of Manchester. Or think Austria Salzburg, where the fans have re-founded the club after being bought by Red Bull.

Consider it is also going the way down. Relegated teams are fucked, financially, earning like nothing anymore. This is a huge problem, but they still get more money than the clubs who already were in the lower league. "Elevator team" is what the effect is called in German.

Last year's Barcelona? #Neymar

Oh come on. The "old system" is just as fucked up: The clubs owned by big spenders buy whomever they want (Chelsea, Monaco, PSG), while the fan-owned or association based clubs can either amass debts (Barcelona, Real Madrid, anyone?) or be outspent (think... really any German team, except Bayern who has incredible…

It doesn't have to do something with a social model, it's the idea to be as charitable as possible to your opponent, with the goal of 1) having a stronger claim to argue against, which is 2) more fun, 3) more of a challenge and 4) makes your own claims better.

Lol that is not helpful. But as a general rule for continental Europe: The two-plug Euro plug will work, but if you got a three-plug thing, like a laptop charger, well, better look it up on Wikipedia.

This is actually philosophy's gold standard, where it is called the "Principle of Charity". You don't want to strawman your opponents argument, because first she can easily refute it and second it's less fun.

So you're basically telling us how to hack a Pi?

The Isar. It's the Isar, my friend. The river in Munich.

Ha, so after all it's the same as soccer in good ol' Europe. How often was the best player of the team I support bought by some other team. Hm. The first one I remember was bought by some Austrians and never played. The last one I remember went to Turkey because it was his last shot on earning millions.

Usually, I'd stand on your side here. But is the alternative really better?

I suggest this

Ugh I don't understand how the media play this game as well. Shouldn't there be people out there (well, say, outside of Gawker Media) who ask about those stories and ask about the police justifications? Isn't that the exact role of the media?

Why does Massachusetts still pirate a year old FIFA??

Spaghetti with a bacon curry cream sauce.

I seriously wonder how the HQ cannot see all you explained as a problem. It seems to me as if they would go for the technically easiest solution to a barely-existing problem. Allowing anonymous feedback by not tracking the IP of everyone? They have A FUCKING GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER THAT DOES NOT TRACK AND EVEN GIVES A…
