  1. I've had my S8 for two years and it's been a great phone. It's survived being dropped a ton of times with only a few scratches to show for it, and even survived being submerged in water overnight. I'm thinking about upgrading to the S10 or S10e(The e is about $100 cheaper, and loses one camera and is a little smaller). I was curious as to if anyone had any opinions on which of these is the better option. Thanks!

  2. I'm halfway tempted to head to uptown Charlotte today to see the atmosphere around BOA Stadium. Cuba/Canada at 6 and Mexico/Martinique at 8:30. Charlotte has a large Hispanic population so I think the Mexico game will be crazy

  3. Tried playing Assassins creed odyssey after this and it just doesnt hold my interest.
    What i can kill a big game elk from 1000 yards with one shit fuck arrow made of balsa wood?  Even then all i get is a pelt. No heart, horns, or anything else to craft a sweet head dress out of.
    I picked up AC Odyssey right after finishing RDR2 and it's way too grindy for me. I'm only level 20 and have put a ton of hours into it and have barely touched the story, not to mention the DLC. It's basically neverending so I don't know how much I want to actually finish it.

  4. I spent the entire 2014 living in Buenos Aires. I had arrived nearly 7 years before, picked up citizenship in July of the previous year, and had an English friend living in Rio who I knew from his time in Buenos Aires about 5 or 6 years prior. I had a FREE place to stay in Rio for the first 2 weeks of the tournament...
    But I didn't go. I didn't want to be around Brazilians during the World Cup. I didn't want to be around Chileans, the Colombianas I knew were okay, but I knew that I didn't want to be around Colombian fanaticos in Rio. Uruguayos would have been fine, because they're like cousins or a little brother, but fuck being surrounded by Brazilians during a World Cup... unless it was a bar in Buenos Aires and Germany was raping them 7-1 and you were screaming much louder than normal after each German goal hit the back of the net and you turned around and glared at every fucking Brazilian in the bar sitting there with their mouths open and a look of shock on their faces.
    If jerseys were switched and/or refs didn't know they were in Brazil, the Brazilian squad likely wouldn't have made it out of their group. And if they had, they would have finished their match again Colombia with 7 players due to yellow card accumulations.
    Patricio Swayze has family connections with Brazil. He's willing to overlook this...

    ...for the good of the Dark Side. (He hates "the force".) But Brazil has 5 Wold Cup trophies, which their fans will remind you of whenever you take joy in them losing.
     
    My Argentine connection is manufactured, but is permanent (you can't renounce Argie citizenship). Idogg53 has Argie blood coursing through his veins and has familia argentina that he visits as often as he can. Although I don't hate chilenos with a passion, like most Argies I've ever known, I pull for any threat to the albiceleste to lose... though I want the squads with Argie managers to go farther than those without. (Recently 6 of the 10 CONMEBOL clubs had Argie managers, because they're the best*...)
    *Most of CONMEBOL hates Argentines because of their arrogance and their insistence that they are not "Latin Americans" so much as "Europeans who live on the American continent**.
    **At least in Argentina, they are taught that there are SIX continents: America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Antarctica. ("America" is one continent.)

    Now your white ass from Georgia is up to speed with the Cliff's Notes version of why some would take offense at a person saying that they liked ALL of the teams in CONMEBOL.
    PD- (Spanish for "PS") I left out the political tensions between Venezuela & Colombia, Colombia & Ecuador, Bolivia & Chile, Chile & Argentina, Brazil & Argentina, Paraguay & Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil, Argentina & Venezuela (after their love affair), Paraguay & Venezuela, Peru & Bolivia... 
    Love this post and I'm jealous you got to live in South America. My wife and I visited Chile and Argentina for two weeks in 2017 and had an amazing time, especially in Bariloche and Buenos Aires. I don't really have a favorite CONMEBOL team but I love the quality of the football among those teams.

  5. WTF is happening at Chelsea? Sarri to Juventus, possibly bringing in Frank Lampard as a replacement, can't even buy players this year.

  6. I've never really gotten into the transfer season but I find myself every morning checking Twitter for transfer gossip because I can't wait to see what team we line up with next season. Two months is way too long to wait. Seriously thinking about crashing with a friend of mine and watching Liverpool play in South Bend this summer
