Jonathan Ruiz10 said:Here is what really gets under my skin:

- When someone constantly vents about how "exhausting" their life is—as if they’re carrying the weight of the world—while completely failing to realize that the person they're complaining to is actually dealing with five times the struggle. It’s just exhausting, honestly.
- When people simply refuse to listen.
- When I run into someone who is deeply insecure about things like not having a college degree, and they decide to take it out on me by throwing passive-aggressive jabs, calling me "Professor" or some other mockingly intellectual title...
- When someone is incredibly protective of their own belongings but has zero respect for anyone else's; you know the type—where their kids might come over and toss an apartment upside down, and the parents just sit there in silence, even though they’d never dream of letting that happen at their own house.
- When people are just plain stingy.
- When others judge me for investing in quality—like if I buy a high-end wool coat that I know I'll wear for years—and they immediately label me a snob or assume I'm just throwing money around recklessly.
- When someone shows up at my door without so much as a courtesy text.
- When a guest comes over and feels entitled to start snooping through my emails or, heaven forbid, hovering over my computer.
- When people are just crude and can't help but make constant, inappropriate remarks about my private life with my partner.
- When someone clearly has a grievance but lacks the backbone to say it to my face, opting instead to hide behind petty little insinuations.

There’s plenty more where that came from, unfortunately! People have certainly lost their sense of boundaries lately.😢😲😠

Are there actually people like this? 😱

Does it even matter if it's the home kit or the away one?

I am not a Manchester United fan, but the home kit is the better choice. The away kit doesn't even reflect Manchester United's colors properly. The home one would be much more striking. 🙂

- being so stubborn you push away everyone close to you just because you "always have to be right"
- zero solidarity
- prejudices, ugh
- selfishness
- fake listening—pretending to care when someone vents, then acting like you have no clue what they were talking about later
- ditching friends when things get heavy or they’re struggling 😢
- constant negativity toward everything
- jealousy and envy, especially directed at your best friends
- shallow talk and being totally flighty
- people whining about nothing and looping on the same "huge" problem all day long
- having zero vision and being short-sighted
- being completely indifferent to people and their feelings, not even trying to actually know your closest buddies
- and don't even get me started on those people who fake an entire personality just to seem "different"—it's pathetic

that's just the start 😁

I second this. 😁

- Moralizing. Especially when it comes from people I know for a fact are liars, take bribes, and have extramarital affairs.

If you are taking on a corrupt corporation, hire a hungry, honest young lawyer who is barely making ends meet. 🤣

And while you're at it, be sure to leave your front door unlocked so a maniac can break in even easier.

Russians in Russia don't speak Russian; they speak English with an incredibly thick Russian accent. 🙂

Joy of Six: Worst Kits

Their selection is poor. There are far worse than these. 🤷

The jersey arrived 🙂
That radioactive away 🙂
It’s actually excellent. I have to eat my words after how much I trashed them. It looks fantastic. 😍
🙂

The third Chelsea signing was announced today. It isn't bad; in fact, it’s easily the best of the three new arrivals this season.

urbanhawk17 said:Romin's kits are usually pretty solid.

You aren't wrong; they are good. However, I haven't seen a jersey for this upcoming season that would actually qualify as "😍" or "🙏," or anything I’d genuinely want to buy because it looks incredible. There are a few decent ones, a few "not bad" ones, and then there are just plain awful ones. 😢
Taste is subjective, isn't it? 🙂

mellowowl38 said:I figured as much. Anyway, I was watching ESPN earlier—they're doing this tour around the States right now—and I just saw what I can only describe as the most hideous Nike kits for next season:

LA Galaxy

You had the chance to see the ugliest Adidas jerseys in that match too. 😬

Thomas Johnson7 said:The jersey would be absolutely flawless if you just stripped away the club crest and this advertisement 😁

The crest might pass, but that advertisement is hideous. 🙄

There are no decent jerseys this season. 🤷

A little black book... 😍

Ryan Morris15 said:I suppose I have little patience for...
..."whining" over trivialities
...constant exaggeration or underplaying things
...inconsistency
...selfishness
...hypocrisy
...those who insist on playing the victim, acting as though they are perpetually innocent while everyone else is simply out to get them
...

🙂

..and people who dodge accountability, refusing to ever own up to their mistakes. 👎

Where do I even begin?!
I have no intention of repeating myself..

1. Basic literacy. "Their, there, they're, wait, want..." 😠 Is it really that hard? It isn't.
2. Animal cruelty.
3. Irresponsible parenting. 😠😠
4. Prejudices against people who don't have children or simply choose not to. No, they aren't heartless, cold, unfulfilled, deprived, godless, or bitter. They just don't have offspring or don't want them.

I will return to this thread later. 🥳

edit:

5. Chronic pessimism (though that’s already been covered)
6. The insistence on romantic nonsense

James Rivera2 said:It’s not bad in my opinion (though honestly, anything looks good compared to those away kits from last year 🙂 )

We'll see how it actually holds up once they slap the sponsors on there and we see it in person.

By the way, Lyon isn't renewing their deal with the Accor group (the Novotel owner), which expires in a few months, so they'll be without a main sponsor until January.

The issue is that alcohol and gambling sponsorships are currently banned in France, but that should change next year, so Lyon will likely sign with Bwin in January.

Sure, we still need to see how they actually look on the players. This color gradient isn't really my style; I prefer classic striped jerseys. 🙂

I am not at all a fan of this first one, at least not based on the photo.

Carl Mendoza4 said:You're wrong, absolutely.

p.s. hey feralraven54, what's your take on Getafe CF? 😁

They look like detergent commercials. 🙂

I saw it on my phone. Technology is relentless. 🤣

CATASTROPHE

Betty Turner8 said:But that isn't the only thing about it!

Take a look at what's going on inside:



Even if the kits themselves are pretty hideous, there is something genuinely cool about this concept... 🤣

Why can't I see these images? All I see are heads; nothing else is loading for me. 🤷
Are they really that hideous? Can someone post another photo?

Eric Fox7 said:I think someone’s already shared the shots of the new Benfica kits, but I was poking around their website and stumbled onto something pretty cool. Turns out, fans actually get a say in picking the color for next season's away kit—though, obviously, they're sticking to the classic red for the home set.👍

It's a great idea, provided they don't just give us one decent option and two pathetic ones. 🤣 Orange and purple look absolutely miserable.
