Weet niet of het handig is om al die Nederlanders naar United te halen. Soort Barcelona onder van Gaal.

Fuck me what a boring game. Finals are often cautious but this is intensely uninteresting.

Argentina's inflation edges up in June, breaking a months-long streak in a blow to President Milei

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Why wouldn't you want an expert to run the economy is such trying times?

Because this so-called expert is a danger to the the common Argentine. His way of "fixing" the economy is by growing inequality, privatizing key government duties and destroying unions.

I personally disagree with him on many points, such as:

he has called for the elimination or merging of major ministries such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Social Development, the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity, and the Ministry of Health.

Milei articulates a critical view of the role of the state in economic matters, calling it "the greatest enemy of wealth"

Milei wants to privatize public health care providers

Milei has expressed support for legalizing organ trade

Also, he is president of the country, not just the economy. I totally disagree with him on points like:

A supporter of law-and-order politics, Milei endorses the unrestricted ownership of firearms

Milei opposes both abortion and euthanasia ... Milei holds that abortion is morally indefensible, even in cases of rape

He intends to eliminate the law that makes comprehensive sex education (CSE) in schools mandatory, which he has linked to brainwashing, and said that students are "hostages of a system of state indoctrination"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Javier_Milei

regarding your comment:

So let me hear it. What would you do to so wonderfully fix the economy that an expert is getting all wrong?

This is a fallacy. It is of course not necessary to know the right answer in order to know that another answer is wrong. I might not know what 483 × 749 is, but I know it's not 10. Or 100. Or 1000.

Euro 2024: Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman accuses VAR of 'breaking football' in defeat to England - BBC Sport

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Have people here watched any football ever??? Players get "fouled" all the time after shooting or crossing and it's virtually never deemed a foul.

Also, Saka made a handball just before Kane's shot which for some reason the VAR didn't look at/missed.

Netherlands - England 21:00 (Dortmund)

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Bullshit penalty, I think we can all agree on that.

Not like the Netherlands deserved to win, they played quite badly. Just feels bad to go out like this. I didn't watch every game but this referee was the worst I've seen all tournament.

Really missed frenkie de jong and I'm disappointed Koeman didn't put on van de Ven or Frimpong.

Rooting for Spain in the final. Lesser of two evils but they play much better football and have a far more likeable team (and country).

Leuk kijkje in hoe dat werkt. Het is effectief en dit is denk ik deels wat hem teflon Mark maakt.

Het verhaal dat hij op zijn fiets naar helemaal niemand zijn duim opsteekt zodat hij op die manier wordt gefotografeerd... een bijna perfect voorbeeld van hoe de politiek een toneelstuk kan zijn.

Reward for fugitive ‘Cryptoqueen’ raised to $5m

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

I heard about this from a podcast called The Missing Cryptoqueen from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84

In a way it's a classic ponzi scheme so in that sense it's not that novel. But this Dr. Ruja, as she was known by people who "bought" OneCoin, sold herself and OneCoin super well and took full advantage of the crypto craze. The scale and then disappearance are crazy.

Maybe this is in the article but I think the leading theory is that she's in the UAE or Qatar or something. I assume she can't really travel but she can just live like an actual queen over there and those governments won't care about where he money came from.

This was a topic on a podcast called American Scandal. Can highly recommend, although the episodes on lobotomies were quite hard to listen to since it was so gruesome like you said. It made me very sad. Still, a very good listen and though horrible also very interesting.

Kabinet wil moordzaken oplossen via commerciële DNA-databanken, advocaten kritisch

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Mijn partner denkt erover na om zo'n 23 and me achtige test te doen. Wel een goed artikel om naar te verwijzen, want je komt dan inderdaad in zulke databases terecht.

Cold cases oplossen is leuk, maar ik ben echt zo huiverig om allemaal databases met DNA te hebben waar de overheid door kan zitten zoeken. Extreem voorbeeld maar voor Hitler zouden zulke databases een droom zijn om joden mee te kunnen vinden.

[Match thread] Netherlands vs France (Leipzig, 21:00)

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?

Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.

[Match thread] Netherlands vs France (Leipzig, 21:00)

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

I'm biased but just to play devil's advocate: where is the limit?

Imagine everyone is on one half of the pitch except for three players: an attacker with the ball 40 meters from goal, the goalie who is 25 meters from goal, and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

I would argue it isn't and I think almost no referee would say it's offside simply because the goalkeeper didn't stand a chance to get anywhere close to the ball.

This is an extreme case, but I feel like today Maignon also would never have gotten that ball.

It's difficult because you can't always know if a goalkeeper would have been able to reach the ball without any interference, but there's gotta be some sort of line between true interference and irrelevant interference that would never change the outcome of what is about to happen.

I probably agree it's offside. As a Dutch person I'm frustrated now, but if I were French I'd be annoyed if the goal had been allowed.

Only saw the highlights. Plenty of chances for Belgium, unlucky with the two disallowed goals. Silly way to concede though and now it's a pretty crazy group with the two strongest teams on paper in the bottom two spots.

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Was hoping Austria could score but honestly they didn't really come close to a goal (in the second half anyway) and France had a few opportunities to make another.

Ridiculous what Mbappé did when he came back on to the field just to sit down and waste time. Would be happy if they changed the rules to make that a straight red.

Wells Fargo workers using ‘mouse movers’ are getting caught and fired - The Verge

Jump

johan @feddit.nl 2y ago

Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don't trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.

I'm just saying it's possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren't getting much work done.
