dustyridge3 said:I have to disagree with that assessment; most of them actually reach true maturity anywhere from their early 30s through the end of their careers. Take Roger Federer, for instance—he secured five Grand Slam titles between the ages of 22 and 26, yet he also managed five more from age 31 to 33. I would argue quite confidently that his play looked significantly more dominant and composed after he turned 30 than it ever did during his twenties.
For me, the biggest challenge in evaluating Novak Djokovic is his uncanny ability to systematically dismantle highly reputable opponents even on his worst days; because he doesn't rely solely on service percentages or hitting winners and forced errors, but instead maintains this constant, controlled style where he can simply dial the intensity up or down based on his opponent's rhythm and mood.
I will never regret missing out on seeing Ronaldo in his absolute prime. I hear so much about his dominance and how effortlessly he scored that it’s almost demoralizing to have to settle for grainy highlight reels. It makes it nearly impossible for me to rank him accurately on any all-time list. It is a different matter entirely with Pelé and Maradona, whom I never saw live, as they are much easier to glorify from a distance. When you only start watching someone in the twilight of their career, is it even possible to truly grasp just how transcendent they once were? You see the same phenomenon with Favre in the NFL, or even Peyton Manning.

In this ridiculous century we’ve found ourselves in... where everyone seems to be constantly clamoring for a four-day workweek, or shorter shifts, or heaven knows what else... I don't know. It feels like we're just moving toward total stagnation, I guess. Maybe it's progress, maybe it's just laziness, but everything feels so fractured lately. Everyone wants more time off, more flexibility, more everything... and I wonder if we even have the stamina left to actually accomplish anything meaningful when we finally sit down to work. It's all very strange.
Look, I’m telling you again, I know you're just trolling at this point, but seriously... I live out in the middle of nowhere, okay? I am surrounded by people who fix tillers and small farm equipment for a living, and let me tell you, I don't know a single soul who just decides to work on a Sunday—whether they're doing it because they feel like it or because some boss is breathing down their neck. It just doesn't happen.
I don't want to claim I have the exact statistics at my fingertips—I certainly don't—but if I had to make an educated guess, I’d say at least 75 to 80 percent of the workforce isn't getting a Sunday off. And I'm not just talking about the essential services or the odd jobs, either. I mean there are plenty of roles that could easily be handled on a Sunday, but for whatever reason, they just don't operate. It's just how things are, I suppose.

What I wanna know is: does the police force carry measuring tapes along with their batons and pepper spray?
Like they do at my construction site—you pull it out of your pocket, "Hey man, you're only 37 inches apart," and boom, you get a red card and a sticker.
Laura Chavez93 said:I honestly fail to understand how everyone is overlooking the glaring issue here—that this reporter, operating entirely without authorization or permission, filmed a Holy Mass she had absolutely no intention of actually attending? 🤷
How long are we going to allow journalists to act with such total impunity, doing whatever they please without facing any semblance of accountability?
Or perhaps the real issue is simply that she’s a woman—if a man had been shut down that aggressively, there wouldn't be a peep, but apparently, you can't even lay a finger on a woman, regardless of how much nonsense she pulls...
Or was it just a matter of needing a different woman to take her down?

brightpilot6 said:It’s like watching Dad go door-to-door during Halloween, knocking on everyone's house while they all act like they don't have a cent to spare, yet somehow this guy over here is walking around with pockets absolutely bursting with cash. He actually has the nerve to tell him, "Don't worry about making a profit," only for the other one to snap back, "I've already got my costume; why don't you just grab one yourself and stop stressing?" 😂

A guy goes along with his friend to rob a Chase Bank, but the cops catch him. He ends up doing five years in federal prison. Once he finally gets out, he tracks down his old buddy and asks how on earth he managed to get away with it. The friend just shrugs and says, "I had a mask. Get one and you'll be fine." 😂

just keep going. 🙏
And am I seeing some law about electronic media? I didn't follow this morning, can someone explain?
Well, @Michelle Palmer6 is followed unconditionally. If I say today that I don't like certain measures, I get attacked. If I say Beroš's statement about fifth columnists is garbage, I get attacked.
And at the same time, I'm asking where the equipment from the UAE is? A deal with a firm from Pula was canceled because of a donation from the UAE that I can't find a single mention of—they just used it as cover. And masks are missing.
We're waiting on a truck from Zabok and a plane from China.
Besides, I'm not talking to you specifically, but generally speaking, they aren't giving up their comfort and their cushy seats to lay off 50% of public sector employees (their own voting base, basically), while the country faces total collapse.
They gave a three-month extension. 🙏🙏🙏
Man, they haven't even replaced the county governor in SM county yet. 🙏
Sam Thomas3 said:Well, there you have it. There's only so much room to maneuver, and it's totally unrealistic to expect us to handle this the way Italians or Spaniards (generally speaking) are. Some people are just throwing numbers around that are completely out of context, seemingly ignoring every other factor! It’s as if they think the virus acts on robots—where one breaks and 99 stay fine—while completely ignoring the need for hospital resources and the shortage thereof.
To be honest, 800 ventilators sounds like a surprisingly decent number to me, but the real question is how many of them are actually being used right now.
But what really gets me is when people claim Italy is just a freak case (which, let's be real, it is). But then they try to use China as a counterargument. 🤣 For crying out loud, those guys basically built a mega-hospital with an insane amount of equipment and beds in ten days, and had it cleared in twenty! Is that just "business as usual" over there?
Meanwhile, we’ve got tents and an arena set up. So, looking at the two, who do you think we actually resemble? 😁
Let's hope for the best, and while it's likely we won't see an "Italy scenario" play out here or anywhere else, it would be naive to think this situation is simple or easy to fix. Even if we were as efficient as the Chinese, it wouldn't be a walk in the park.
Paul Sanders5 said:Honestly, these Italians are just a total accident of history. If the Romans could see them now, they’d be spinning in their graves.
