Gunners@lemmy.world•[Post-Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. v.s. Wigan AthleticEnglish
1·1 天前This match truly was won in midfield. I have no idea what Wigan were trying to do, bit it failed dismally in the first half. They weren’t really pressing our defense, but at the same time they were playing a ridiculously high defensive line themselves. If your going to do that you have to completely control the middle. But Eze, Saka, and Norgaard dominated. There was some wonderful passing right through their defense, especially from Eze and Norgaard.
If it wasn’t for their change in tactics in the second half to do more of a low block, and their goalkeeper’s heroics, they would have leaked another several goals. Though honestly we should have scored more regardless. We needed a bit more composure in their six yard box.
I thought Gyokeres looked overall pretty good when he came on. That’s exactly the kind of match you’d expect him to thrive in, and he did… At least from a holding the ball up, chasing the ball down role. His finishing wasn’t there though.

1·1 天前He had a really good game, and would have been my MOTM.
Good job Fulham on knocking the orcs out.
How can they simultaneously sit back when we have the ball and also keep such a high defensive line when we get near their penalty area?! That’s just suicide!
And now Gabi J.
This is turning into an absolute slaughter!
Just what we need for our confidence!
Funny thing on this one is that the defender actually plays Martinelli onside by preemptively trying to get ahead of his run. That’s like basic shit you coach under-12s not to do. But he did it at basically the highest level.
Holy shit, that was a lovely pass into Noni. And a very cool finish from him.
I have exactly the same concern.

Interesting. Is that fact considered canon?

World News@lemmy.world•Air Transat suspending all flights to U.S. as of this springEnglish
391·3 天前It makes sense for them to cut those flights if there’s insufficient demand. But at the same time, not much of value is being lost. I flew Air Transat years ago on a long haul flight. I was warned beforehand it would be a no-frills flight. But holy shit, that was an understatement.

politics @lemmy.world•The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You ThinkEnglish
724·4 天前That’s a ridiculously low bar, but it’s also an important distinction.
Do I want Gavin Newsom to be the Democrat nominee for 2028? Hell no! He’s revealed himself to be a shallow political opportunist and an ideological chameleon. And I think that party can do better.
But regardless, would he be an improvement over Trump? Hell yes!
Another question is: is he - a supposedly populist liberal from California - even electable on a national stage? I don’t think so. But then, we live in very ‘interesting’ times. So who knows.
The third question is: will we have a fair enough election in 2028 (or an election at all)? That remains to be seen.

Technology@lemmy.world•A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | RobloxEnglish
30·4 天前Apparently images alone don’t work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).
But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.
Yes, it’s definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn’t.
The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I’m not sending their IDs in because there’s such a huge risk of a data breach.
