Re: US paypal

Never had an issue with them while using for many years but after sending a couple of payments both mine and the receiver's accounts have been frozen. Not even paying for stuff -- just a friend to friend payment. Money can't be withdrawn for 120 days. Receiver's account banned permanently. Not offering any explanation beyond the very vague "security reasons". Absolutely shocking behavior!

Re: USWNT legend Brandi Chastain explains why Lionel Messi gives men’s game in the United States ‘a chance’ of matching the women

Yup. There's absolutely no comparison between how competitive men's and women's world cups are. Especially at the time Brandi played there were barely 2 other decent national teams on the planet, even by women's standards.

Exactly. Just wrote a more expansive comment making a similar point. You'd think that would be obvious to any rational person but the USWNT seems to not have many of those. Their ridiculous comments make it difficult to cheer for them. Forca Espana!

What a load of delusional nonsense. Men's soccer is infinitely more competitive. It's much more difficult to win the men's World Cup than women's.

Women's soccer is now a lot more competitive than when Brandi played and the USWNT is having a harder time winning things. At the time Brandi played there were barely 3 decent women's national teams in the world because the rest of the planet wasn't taking it seriously. The USWNT had a massive advantage in terms of the depth of their player pool due to collegiate soccer.

I really have no idea why US women and fans of USWNT have to constantly make delusional comparisons between men's and women's soccer. They're essentially different sports in terms of popularity and competitiveness. I have nothing against women's soccer but why can't they just enjoy it for what it is. You never hear women from other team sports constantly compare themselves to men.

Re: Ilya Samsonov becomes first goalie in NHL history to win each of his first nine career road games in one season

ranndino — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 05:28:15 -0000

What drugs are you on? Both visually and statistically Holtby is nowhere near a top goaltender. In fact, he's much closer to one of the worst goalies in the league right now. No team in the NHL has your opinion of him so no one is going to give us anything of value in return for him in a trade. He's terrible. He's also been terrible for years now and no, he's not been very good in the playoffs. He's the main reason we only have one cup and have exited the playoffs in early rounds. I'm really stunned how someone can create their own reality to substitute what is clearly true to everyone else. Holtby just plays angles and if the puck doesn't hit him it goes in. He is very slow to react to anything. His lateral movement is non existent. Compare that to Samsonov or any other actual top goalie now. Completely different. They move so fast laterally, react very quickly and battle for shots. Holtby looks like he's not even trying. It's just like oh well, that went in. The quicker he's benched the better. Especially since we have a real top goaltender in Samsonov. He maybe is a rookie in the NHL but he's already played a couple of years in the KHL. There's a gulf in class between them. That is the real reason the team plays better with Samsonov in net. The players know who is good and who isn't. They're confident with Sammy. With Holtby they play scared because they know every shot on him can be a goal. He may have been good in the past (although I never thought so) but he definitely stinks now. To call him a top goaltender still and think that a contender would be so interested that they would be willing to give up something good is absolutely delusional!

Re: Why women in the NHL isn't such a far-fetched idea

BTW, the woman who skated in last year's fastest skater competition was indeed impressive, but she only beat 1 out of 8 participants, not several. You'd think you could at least get basic facts right. Would only take 2 seconds of googling but why do that if it goes against the ideological point you're making, right?

Unbelievable idiocy that actually hurts the equal rights movement since it makes most people think the left is delusional / mental. My guy, have you actually ever watched pro hockey?

I could waste my time on going point by point and completely annihilating this article but I have better things to do. Suffice to say that you should edit the conclusion to replace the NHL with some low level pro league like ECHL or possibly even in a non-hockey European country like Poland or the UK & even then your conclusion would be extremely far fetched.

The NHL is an incredibly tough league to make even for male pro hockey players. A tiny percentage of them get to play even a single season in it. There is absolutely no way in hell that any female player could ever make the NHL. I have a better chance of winning the Powerball.

It's not about hitting and fighting. If that was the only impediment, you'd see female pro soccer players in top pro soccer leagues like the EPL. You don't because even though there is no hitting or fighting in soccer (very rarely) women simply can't compete with top male soccer players due to innate biological disadvantages that no amount of woke wishful thinking is going to cancel. The best women's soccer team in the world, the US national team, has played scrimmages against local U-15 boys teams and lost. These boys were nowhere near the best male players even in their very young age group yet they beat an elite women's team easily. In fact, some of the female players posted on social media after that it was like playing aliens from outer space. If the US women's team attempts to play the US men's team (that woke idiots keep saying everywhere is far worse) they would get destroyed to the tune of at least 30-0 despite the men's team being really quite terrible at the moment, by men's pro soccer standards.

It would be far worse of a gap in a sport like hockey. You either have absolutely no clue what you're talking about or are just trying to score points with the girlfriend in your picture. Apparently, you're one of those men who are so under the boot that you aren't even allowed to use a profile picture without your woman in it. It's really amazing that sites now allow every delusional jackass with zero knowledge of the sport to write for them.

Re: Google, why don’t you have a reminders app?

ranndino — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 05:02:17 -0000

I too got very excited when the Tasks app was released only to be totally disappointed that it wasn't a reminders app. I really have no idea why it was even made other than for some PM at Google to get an OKR hit that will get them a promotion (which is why a lot of Google products are made only to die soon after).

To everyone who is suggesting Keep as an alternative, it doesn't sync with the reminders Scott here is talking about so completely defeats the purpose. Only Google would make an app that has reminders which are not the same reminders that are in the Calendar & Google Now.

Is there a way to automate it? I have the need to have all my events duplicate automatically in another Google cal.

Re: Los Angeles Kings: Kovalchuk is a high-risk, high reward move

ranndino — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 01:28:11 -0000

The +/- is actually no mystery. Kovy spent most of his NHL career on one of the worst teams in the league, the Atlanta Thrashers. In the KHL he was on an absolutely stacked SKA St Petersburg, by far the best team in that league .

Re: Transgender Politics Is Turning Sports Into The Special Olympics

Absolute idiocy pushed by an activist minority not at peace with reality. Jeff Jacobs is an example of the aggressive nature of these people. States his asinine opinion in a way that implies that it's inarguable fact.

Re: Transgender Politics Is Turning Sports Into The Special Olympics

ranndino — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 02:02:17 -0000

Agree with everything except trying to pin antiscience exclusively on the "leftists". In this case, absolutely, but there's a ton of antiscience & absurd denial of basic facts on the right as well.

Re: Details Emerge About Accusations Against Ashbrook

Sure, dishonor and fire one of the best hosts the radio industry had for sometimes losing his cool at whiny millenials while being under tremendous pressure to produce a truly great show that ran daily for 2 hours. Do any of the people here on board with this have any clue how difficult it is to do what Tom has been doing for so long with consistent excellence? Obviously not.

Reading some of the comments about what Tom is like on the show says more about the commenters than him. Some people have a completely delusional perception of reality.

Aside from all that, nothing I've read here constitutes sexual harrassment in any way. Please stop this insane witch hunt. Soon there will be no one to listen to in MSM which is exactly what Bannon promised when he left the White House. A war on MSM. The left's propensity for self destruction is mind boggling.

Re: Details Emerge About Accusations Against Ashbrook

Your perception of reality is extremely flawed. They were both excellent interviewers. The reality is completely opposite of what you've described. No need to project your own personality onto people far more successful than you.

More like 5 months tops. And yes, I'm "sore" that the equivalent of a Jersey Shore character somehow got elected president by morons like you.

The only one challenged here is you, you two dimensional cardboard of a human who is only capable of sticking some dumb label on anyone who disagrees. My news reading skills are 1000x yours, believe me. All your news comes from Breitbart & Bubba from the trailer blogs.

Wow, such a clever copied from someone else reply. Don't worry, buddy, I have a great life. Trump won't last a year the way he's going. Sad.

Even sadder when a disgusting, incompetent, narcissistic pig like Trump is still supported by over 70% of Republicans. The conservatives as a group should be ashamed of themselves.

Except that they don't deserve for anyone to be easy on them judging by the garbage they spew & how they reply to anyone who isn't still stuck in the delusional cult of personality admiration for the braindead clown in the White House.

Literally nothing you said is true other than Trump not founding the KKK. Which is a wholly irrelevant point. Also, why do you idiots always call Obama by some stupid nickname? Should I call your man Drumpf? He's more Drumpf than Obama is Obozo. That was his family's real surname before his grandpa changed it. Drumpf would have been far more accurate as it sounds like the sound of a dump hitting the water in the toilet.

Re: The Male Advantage In Online Dating

Now that I've actually listened to this episode it's much worse than my original impression from the headline & description. While the ladies were actually relatively reasonable and even saying a woman could have easily done what this guy did Tom kept pushing the absolutely ridiculous, unsupported by any data, narrative that men have a huge advantage in online dating. I hope my man is not getting senile because this was the worst episode of OnPoint I've ever heard.

Re: The Male Advantage In Online Dating

ranndino — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 00:21:32 -0000

It very much depends on what kind of women you're looking for. If it's just women in general then yeah, it's easy. I was never interested in just a woman. I've always been going after very attractive ones. Those take a lot more work.

Thank you for that inane comment, braindead parrot. In a contest of facts I would roll over you like a cement truck over an ant. Plus, I'm not liberal. I know, a slightly nuanced concept of not being a Trump supporter & not being a liberal at the same time is hard for an amoeba brain like you to comprehend. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of ignorant, know nothing, Nazi sympathizers as my president.
