We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

A while back Dutch soccer club PSV decided to dip into the world of e-sports and signed a FIFA player (as in the video game series by Electronic Arts). They let him go within three days because of some of the social media comments he made in the past. Apparently when he was still a teenager he rooted for a different club in (their rival Ajax) and used derogatory terms to describe PSV supporters.

It was pretty funny seeing pretty much every mainstream news outlet report on it, whereas the initial signing itself got no attention.

The schadenfreude is on all of us. That guy is such a poo poo and of course he's rich and gets to do whatever the gently caress he wants. And people eat his poo poo up. "savage" ugggggh.

Can only hope this guy's career as he gets older is somehow trashed, but I can't see him ever really struggling.

Also gonna tell everybody else: Don't watch the news story. Seriously.

Don't get mad at me. PYF is D&D but derails are 5 pages longer and the thread has to be reset by posting the guy kicking a kid and asking if a hotdog is a sandwich which starts another derail for a page and a half as everyone tries to do the same joke.

Anyway, actual content

Player gets a 5 person kill which is immediately negated by a character that can instantly revive dead teammates.

I don't play Overwatch, so does that actually negate any kind of game progression like revoking XP for the kills?

not really, but at this point killing 5 people with an ult attack is pretty difficult to pull off at this point if the enemy players are paying attention, especially with D.va's Nuke, which can be avoided by simply breaking line of sight.

In that case it stops the objective from reaching the finish in the hardest part of the map for attackers. In general, it prolongs a fight that you thought you won and your abilities are probably on cool down so you often lose the second fight.

Isn't it pretty normal for Republicans to only give a poo poo about an issue if it affects them? There was someone high up in the Dubya administration who had a pretty good record on gay rights because his daughter was gay.

Dog walker was pissed that a food cart was on the sidewalk, and told the guy to move the cart so he could walk by. There was plenty of room to walk by, the guy was just being a dick.

Local article said the vendor had a few run-ins with the a-hole and his girlfriend saying that his cart was blocking the sidewalk, and eventually that escalated to him needing to threaten the guy and flip his cart over.

sorry, but you're wrong. there's no 'takebacksies' legal precedent, if you've walked past the registers with an unpaid item, that's intent to steal. doesn't matter one bit if you give it back, you've still stolen something.

No, because you're innocent until proven guilty. To commit a crime in Canada you need both action and intent, and the burden is on the store to prove you actually intended to steal it instead of accidentally forgetting to pay.
