Does anyone know if those blue light glasses actually work to protect your eyes from screen glare? If they do, where's the best place to pick up a pair?

thanks

That’s what you call enlightenment—once you hit that point, things tend to bottom out. But I'm pretty sure there'll be a moment where everything starts climbing back up again. It just takes time, some sacrifices, and a whole lot of patience, I guess.

Tyler Scott3 said:The soul—it’s essentially the centrifugal force within us.
It’s what we identify as when we really take a look inside ourselves.

The spirit, though? That’s of Divine origin. It carries life itself within us, which makes it a total mystery to the average person. Only to those rare spiritual giants does the spirit reveal itself as a clear, understandable concept.

Even though I’m a Christian, I have to agree with you.
He is Merciful to send us the Holy Spirit to guide our way!

The whole system they've got running is pretty useless—I'm just not feeling it at all.

All the names listed above are top-tier managers—their stats are pretty fascinating when you look at the win-loss ratios and the trophies they've picked up. It’s kind of strange how Guus Hiddink struggled in Spain despite being so successful in the Netherlands, whereas José Mourinho seems to be killing it everywhere he goes. And Capello is an interesting case too; he was winning something almost every single year, so why did he decide to take that one year off?
With just a bit more experience, I could probably put Franko Raajkard right up there with these heavyweights. On the other hand, I'm not exactly a fan of Rafael Benitez, so I have zero interest in digging through his stats.

There’s definitely plenty to unpack in these numbers!

The stats run up until 2004—here are the links if you want to dig in

Here are some stats covering José Mourinho, Guus Hiddink, Arsène Wenger, and Fabio Capello:

laguum said:The best one? Fabio Capello
The one with the most potential? H.B

I guess you could argue about the first part, but the second one? That’s a given. 😬

That’s a tough one—I can't really pick a single best, honestly. They all have such different approaches, and you’ve got some who are right on the rise while others are definitely winding down their careers,

So, I just can't give you a definitive answer,

But I am finding it pretty interesting to follow this poll. I want to see what you guys think—it would be great if everyone could actually share their reasoning instead of just clicking a button!

Deschamps just stepped down at Monaco!

Looks like his assistant is stepping up to take the reins.

I’m just sitting here, trying to stay still and clear my head—keeping my spirit steady so the darkness doesn't start creeping in. It’s about doing something decent, something right,
just letting go completely and focusing on that inner peace—kind of like what people call "meditation,"

masterblaster said:So, what even is the ego, really?😕 😁

A massive ego basically equals a massive sense of self.
That whole thing about putting yourself above everyone else—that feeling of superiority, acting like you're somehow "bigger" than the rest of us, just pure arrogance... there's a lot to unpack there.

There's plenty more we could dive into,

Now we're talking—Robinho, Ronaldinho, and Kaká 🙏

apop said:But look, let me drop one last truth about Chris on you—it’ll probably be the greatest bit of wisdom you ever encounter in your short life, since you don't exactly seem like the most perceptive type: 😂😂

'Chris wasn't a dog's brother.' 👍

You talk about wisdom like you actually know what it is,

but true wisdom is knowing how to separate the essential from the trivial, the eternal from the fleeting, good from evil, and useful from useless—it's finding the path to the ultimate goal.

And honestly, watch your language; you shouldn't be throwing names around like that here.

I'm done arguing with you!

🙂

apop said:Chris is a brother to those who carry out His Will—or, more accurately, to those who actually *possess* that Will! 👍

But let's be real here—the only thing we truly know about Chris is that he was a heretic. 🙏
We don't "not know" anything else about him!
Everything else? That’s just culture talking, not the truth. 👍

Personally, I tend to value the truth a little more than I value God. 👍 😂😂😂
I hope you can see the distinction between the two—it would be better for you. 😂 😂

!

I'm done arguing with you; this whole concept of "Will" is clearly something you just can't grasp.

And honestly, with all these emojis you're throwing around... if you aren't a believer, maybe watch the mockery? You wouldn't want to end up on the wrong side of things. If you can't understand, or simply won't, or just haven't been given the insight—then just stay quiet and try not to be provocative.

apop said:I’m not mocking Christ—he was just a man, after all. I’m mocking the dogs who decided to latch onto his tail! 😂😂😂

🙄

Amanda Evans29 said:What exactly am I supposed to laugh at? 😁 I’m just waiting for you all to face the consequences; Jesus isn't your brother. 😂😂😂😂

You ask what there is to laugh about, yet you're constantly dropping those emojis?

The cross is a symbol,

He is a brother to those who actually live out the Father's will! 🙂

I know you don't see it that way—and look, I'm not going to mock you or laugh at your disbelief—but even if you don't accept Chris, that doesn't mean you should make fun of Him.

apop said:there’s honestly nothing more pathetic than wallowing in misery. 😂😂😂

I guess it just depends on what level you're operating at, right? 🙄

apop said:😂

Absolutely, 100%! 👍

Are you making fun of all Christians, or just me?

masterblaster said:We’re all struggling, aren't we? But lately—it feels like there's this massive pressure to just... be happy. Or at least, to force ourselves to be. What happens if we can't pull that off? Has suffering somehow become something we should feel ashamed of?

I don't know—there's no salvation without a cross to bear, right? To me, struggle—or sacrifice, if you prefer—is just part of the deal. I know it's coming, and I'm not running from it. There's no shame in it. Honestly, those people who seem perfectly happy around here? They belong to a different world entirely. This isn't their place.
