Although Lewandowski is 33 years old, he is expected to be able to continue his impressive performances for at least 2 more seasons. He has played very well in the last few years with Bayern Munich. And now he has taken on a new challenge in La Liga. Having played in the Bundesliga for a long time, it may take some time to adapt to the La Liga gameplay. Lewandowski is talented and experienced, he will be able to adapt to the players of the Barcelona team very quickly.
I'm sure he won't have any problems in terms of adaptation, he can handle it easily considering his past experience with Guardiola. Xavi's playing style is not much different from Pep Guardiola's, so it may be easy for Lewandowski to adapt to Barcelona's game this season.

I hope he does well at Barcelona even though I'm not their supporter so far. Lewandowski is a good player to hope to be a useful asset to any team including Barcelona, ​​but I never imagined he would be at Barcelona after being a Bayern Munich player for so long.

There are way more hidden charges than these to be honest, and it varies from banks to banks also from countries to countries. I have credit cards with zero membership charges but still they deduct some money per year or quarters I don't know exactly as subscription fee, they even charge for checks, deposit and using ATM after certain times so there are lot of small money keep deducted by banks all the time which I really hate it but that is not the only reason I want to have decentralized monetary system.

Banks literally printing more money so this keep reducing the purchasing power which isn't really have to be in that way.
That's why I say nothing is free when you deal with a bank. I don't believe it even though they actually free some transactions because in the end there is always a fee that is expected. The bottom line is, if you want to keep a lot of money in the bank then you have to be willing to accept their T&C as a terms of service.

But we will not be able to be 100% decentralized because we are actually adherents of government law. A centralized financial system is always needed, we cannot completely avoid it.
2563  Economy / Economics / Re: Remain decentralized with crypto or centralized with banks. on: July 15, 2022, 07:55:13 PM
Yes, it is true, governments never care about the comfort of citizens, here in my country the same thing too, I expect that the same thing is in most countries, when they provide you with such free or semi -free services, it is certain that they have other goals greater than that, they may want to track all your transactions Or prevented you from transferring your money into encrypted currencies, for example, the government does not waste any opportunity to impose centralization and control citizens and know all the details of their lives, especially the financial life, so I think this is the goal of creating this type of bank.
Nothing is free, it is the basis of a centralized financial system. In fact, I can make transactions hundreds of times every month using a local bank (same bank) with no fees but in reality they can still charge a service fee at the end of the month (card fee or admin fee). The government does not want to lose even though it actually uses our money stored in bank accounts. They say revenue sharing but they cut taxes. That's the thing that makes me never put a lot of money in a bank account again, it's totally unfair.

In my thread, I used the concept you suggested for setting application limits because I thought that helping those users who are one step away from the coveted rank would have a much greater effect, because the final result of the application would be immediately visible.
That's because you are the merit source and it's easier for you to get those users to the rank they want in no time. Even though the OP is not a merit source, he only send merit when he has sMerit he got from other users in his post. Very different with you because in the end the rank of users who submit applications is not only in the hands of the OP but also at others who want to help including the merit source.
2565  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? on: July 15, 2022, 07:12:56 PM
Many rich people with income above us cannot be happy like rich people. Why? because they don't know how to enjoy everyday life.
There are some groups of people with income earned from signature campaigns who can enjoy life like kings. Why? because they understand how to enjoy the income.

In a case like this, try to use 70% of the revenue from the signature campaign to buy goods as needed and use the other 30% for investment. I'm sure you will feel something that will make you feel happy.
For example, the income from the signature campaign is $1,000/week, if you are from Indonesia, then $500 is an amount that is difficult to spend in 1 week, unless you don't use this amount for needs but you use it for partying.

I think the same thing can also be enjoyed in countries within the African continent.
It's not hard to spend $500 a week if you believe that inflation has made more cheap things more expensive. Pay attention to some things around you; high electricity costs, increased taxes, increased daily needs and many more things that can still be mentioned including fuel.

It's not as cheap here as you think because maybe 1 plane ticket is still more than $500 for your domestic flight. I think you understand, so don't always assume Indonesia is a country that can live in luxury if your income is $2000 per month, although it could be to have a good life.

yes it is true, although difficult but not impossible Napoli will be able to find a replacement for Koulibaly. retaining a player who no longer wants to play for the team is not a good thing. now both I think are profitable, Napoli who have benefited from this transfer and Koulibaly who has found a better team with the possibility of increasing his career with Chelsea in the Premier League.
I don't know how much Koulibaly's transfer to Chelsea cost, although some news reports say 40 million euros plus some bonuses. If that's true then Napoli will definitely have some money to spend on getting other players in the transfer market. One name that is currently sticking out is Dybala, but Napoli are also looking for another defender to replace the vacant position after Koulibaly's move to Chelsea.

BTW yang masuk Top 10 Poster Teraktif Lokal Board Bahasa Indonesia Namanya itu-itu saja, meski ada perubahan hanya satu atau dua nama saja.
Mau bagaimana lagi gan, itu semua tergantung pada habit setiap pengguna. Sekalipun yang masuk top 10 penggunanya itu-itu saja tetapi saya tidak berpikir hal itu menjadi masalah. Memaksakan diri untuk bersaing masuk di top 10 nantinya yang ada malah menambah posting spam di SFI karena kebanyakan postingannya di thread umum yang pembahasannya berulang-ulang. Yang penting kontribusinya ada, masalah jumlah posting menurut saya itu subjektif. Beda ceritanya seperti om Husna yang lebih aktif di thread teknis dibandingkan thread biasa.

(IMO) Mereka yang jarang aktif di lokal Board atau menurunnya jumlah poster karena kurangnya pengetahuan pada topik teknis atau minimnya topik yang mereka kuasai sehingga membuat mereka memilih berkelana di board luar yang lebih banyak pilihan topik yang mereka kuasai.
Di forum ini tidak ada paksaan mau aktif dimana dan di thread mana. Selama mereka menguasai apa yang dibahas dan tidak spam maka silahkan saja. Saya juga tidak terlalu banyak aktif di SFI, tetapi tetap mencoba untuk berkontribusi pada beberapa thread dan juga mendistribusikan merit. Untuk bulan Juni hanya 16 posting di SFI, tapi masih mencoba tetap hadir setiap bulannya walau jumlahnya sedikit.

He was hated mostly the fans because he didnt want to extend his contract. He was booed on a lot of matches we will see in future if they will continue to. He has now extended his contract for only a year i think until 2024 so that isnt a really long period
Dembele and his agent tried to buy time and maybe tried to maximize the chances of getting a high contract offer, but in the end Barcelona gave in and he was on a free transfer for some time as his contract expired. But recently he started taking Barcelona offers and it was a good decision for him after so long of drama about his future at Barcelona.

It's natural for fans to be angry with him because he doesn't seem to have good faith in Barcelona's desire to keep him in the team. Xavi wants him to stay because he knows that Dembele will be a useful player for him.

yh. became a jr.member. which format  of image link should be used?? ( bbcode full linked, bbcode thumbnail linked or which type??
If you're using imgur, then I think you can just copy this one and paste it into your post. If you are using imgbb, then you can copy the bbcode full link and remove some unnecessary ones. But now this site is not working to host your images on forum. Here if with imgur.





Cryptornd, merge your two posts because it's against the rules to post less than 24 hours in a row, and then you can lock the thread because I think your problem is solved.

I am not a merit source, but I will keep supporting as many as I can with the little merit I earn around the forum, as long as the user in question is not a spammer/shit poster, then he or she doesn't have to be stagnant in rank.
As I said, this is a problem that will actually make it harder for you to distribute more merit on participant applications. But that's okay, because you can still expect generosity from a merit source or users like me to contribute to this thread.  Cheesy



It is very kind of you and thank you very much. I'm very happy for reaching my new rank on the forum. I hope that I can manage to improve my post quality more in proportion to my rank from now on.  Smiley
You deserve it, that's why I'm here. Apart from that, you also shouldn't forget that there is one more rank above you right now that you can also achieve, but I think it will require you to work even harder than before. Wish you luck to get there sooner.

I also noticed that there have been some threads already created by members related to ranking up but this sounds abit different from them, if we are to also consider some of those threads i believe not all of them have been active just as mentioned by AnotherAlt, I know Ratimov to be one of the user i respected so much and i believe  in his delivery capacity but there are more reasons that must have led to the pause on his thread, but either of it all i don't think this thread as well will counter the effectiveness of the existing ones but instead compliment each other as long as the standard to merit a post is maintained to be "quality".
On my local board there is also a thread about helping to rank up from Newbie to Legendary, but it's true that it's a slightly different thread than most. I believe the purpose of both helps, but only in different ways. In my opinion, whether this thread is effective or not depends on who wants to help. If there are many merit sources and other users willing to review and help then I'm sure this thread will be useful for those who need rank.

I'm here to help you, congratulations on your new ranking. The countdown to you is done, so have fun.

I may also be able to help other users as I currently have some merit to share. It wasn't much, but it seemed to be useful for those a little closer to reaching the next rank.
2573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 13, 2022, 08:27:22 PM
The point I got from your post is that it is true that gamblers often use their time in gambling as entertainment to lighten the burden of the mind that is whacking them. but from here maybe the gamblers unknowingly have to buy the fun for them to enjoy. there are several things or patterns that must be applied to minimize losses in games that are played really for entertainment and fun, among others, the pattern I mean is to bet with the smallest bet until you really feel satisfied in betting.
But not a few also change their minds when they start to win some money. The reason for the average gambler is to have fun, but over time that mindset will change and they will gamble to recover losses and win money. About this, if you are a gambler then I am sure you will know what I mean.

Changes in behavior and mindset are more likely to occur if the gambler has have an addiction than not. So it's really hard to continue to have fun at gambling especially after you really feel that you have lost a lot.
2574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Most Expensive Thing Bought with Winnings from the Casino or Sport Bet on: July 13, 2022, 07:58:11 PM
The most expensive thing that I've bought with winnings from my sportsbook bet were a car for my girlfriend.

Then I've left gambling, I was at some point between the gambling for fun and the addictment. So, better stop before than after. And I'm glad with my choice.
Wow, that sounds really good to you. It's hard to win big money, but maybe you're lucky enough to have good finances to bet big. Is it some kind of parlay?

So far I haven't been able to completely stop gambling, it's actually not that great for me. But since I don't really like big things, then I don't think it will cause me much financial trouble. There must be a plan to stop, but not as soon as possible.

But in reality, if you look at some media, racist incidents are still happening. Even Arsenal dumped Ozil because of his statements about religion. So Arsenal didn't even give him a chance to play and even let him go. I think racism is not just the color of human skin, but religious belief is something that is often disputed in football.
So FIFA's mission to eliminate racism has not been completely successful. I do not know what made Arsenal then throw it away. Since then, Ozil's career has disappeared, not many media have broadcast the news.
Many people are aware of it but are lost and ignored by the glitter of football. The issue of racism is an unavoidable problem in football, but FIFA can take action if it is proven to exist.

PSG management will not consider signing Ronaldo this season. Neymar, Messi and Mbappe will be PSG's forwards. And the coach will form his starting eleven with these three. But here Ronaldo will really create chaos in the team. Neither Mbappe, Neymar nor Messi will be able to perform well. PSG's gameplay or match strategy will be lost. So if PSG management is intelligent then at this moment they will not think of signing Ronaldo.
No, I don't think Ronaldo will play in the same team as Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. It's crazy for football and I'm sure it won't happen. If Messi moves to another team the following season, then there is a possibility that Ronaldo could be recruited to replace him. But now it doesn't seem good to have all four superstars in one team.

Friendlies might not mean so much, after all, there are no points gained from the game but it accesses the team and also helps them to develop rhythm that they could take to the league when the league kicks off. Manchester United haven't been a good team through the previous season and as such, there is a lot of expectations on them so, them winning today's game is a step towards the right direction.
Although, looking at the team they played against @Liverpool and the scoreline, we know this can't happen as Klopp is sure to turn tjing around pretty fast too.
Right, I already said it above. Friendly matches don't really mean anything to these teams because maybe they don't play seriously the whole game. So I wouldn't really believe it was a bad start for Liverpool, but it's a good sign for Manchester United.
2577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 12, 2022, 09:29:02 PM
from this friendly match you can judge the figure of nunez who was bought at a high enough price, whether he really played well of course not, I saw him kicking the ball quite hard in front of De Gea which became the subject of ridicule for nunez on social media. he is like a star who has lost his instinct to score. friendly matches may not be a good benchmark to judge a player but nunez really played quite badly in that match.
Often the first chance is not the yardstick of how a new player is performing, but honestly you may be saying something right. The high price of a player will not guarantee good performance, that's the right thing. But in Nunez's case, I don't think he should be bothered just because his first game went badly for Liverpool. He's still had chances in many other games this season, so even if his first game was bad then I don't think he's going to be bad in the others.

It's natural for someone to praise a player's performance when they play well and score goals, but on the other hand they will berate and hate when they play poorly, especially if the player is an expensive new player like Nunez.

In the end, the rich will get richer and the weak will remain weak even though some of them are brave enough to take risks to their economic conditions. I remember one message, don't worry too much if you are hungry for 1 to 2 years if you want to invest because in the next 3 to 5 years there will be a chance that you will be full more than what you imagine.
I agree with this assumption but it all depends on how they have good financial management for their investment. While people hope to buy a lot but inflation makes them surrender to fate because they also still need to eat and fulfill their daily needs. Meanwhile the rich will get richer because they have sufficient reserves to invest and they can consider the risk of price volatility in the long term because they still have enough cash to survive inflation.

Many poor people fail because they can't do much to increase their portfolio, but I believe they can also benefit if they have good financial and investment management. A little is fine, it's still better than nothing.

Btw previously, Manchester United performance under Erik Ten Hag was really impressive, they can control almost all sides and can turn off quickly every time there is an attempted attack from Liverpool. in this friendly match Manchester United can win 4-0 even without the presence of Ronaldo.
Winning in a friendly match proves nothing as the competition is actually much tougher. I don't think Ten Hag was convincing enough even though today he could make Manchester United win that friendly, so we'll have to wait to see him in the Premier League. But good, he started to test his strategy.

Ten Hag needs time to test some strategies during pre-season and he should get a good formula when the league starts. He must be able to convince the management of Manchester United that he is the right person to bring Manchester United back to their best, hopefully it will work for him.

Even though the club is having financial problems they have managed to get some new signings to improve the squad. I expected this financial restrictions to hinder them getting some quality signings but they have showed resilience and have gone against odds to get some quality signings. This shows how determined the club is to improving their team and competing for trophies next season and hopefully they will do much better than the previous season.
Barcelona's financial problems have an impact on their increasingly uncertain performance. They cannot win titles like they did a few seasons ago but the arrival of Xavi and his staff has given Barcelona hope of starting a new history. Now Xavi has a few extra players, and it's still possible to get a few others including Raphinha. So actually Barcelona can still do a lot even though the finances don't look good.

The news today about De Jong is that Manchester United still want him and they are fighting to get him at Old Trafford this season. Ten Hag really wanted to get him from Barcelona because De Jong deserved to play alongside him, but now it's up to Barcelona whether they want to sell him. Reportedly two representatives of Manchester United have arrived in Barcelona to complete the protracted transfer of De Jong, I will wait for the results in the next few days.
