  • I could maybe get it if the teams actually had ties to the cities they’re in, but trading players between teams baffles me.

    I think this is probably part of why the only time I follow football is when it’s the World Cup or the Euros or something with the national teams like that. Obviously I’m not super into the nationalism aspect of it all, but I guess I just find the concept of managers having to kinda just work with what they’ve got more appealing than rich clubs just buying up most of the best players.


  • Paris honestly has never struck me as the nicest city, but it’s really big and it really feels like there’s an unlimited amount of stuff to do there so I wouldn’t mind going back.

    I also found Avignon to be really nice and very pretty (at least in the historic centre which I didn’t really end up leaving since I was only there a short time).

    Strasbourg was also quite nice and I actually thought about studying there for university (obviously my main reason for considering it was related to the university and programme, but my impression of the city was definitely a factor).

    Haven’t really been too many places outside of France, but I was in Utrecht for a few hours (which idk if even really counts as ‘travelling to’ and it definitely felt like someplace I’d like to return to and it felt a bit more chill compared to Amsterdam which seemed a bit more chaotic.






  • Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don’t. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.
