Almost anyone can fall victim to scammers online, scammers are in various categories, with some having developed very believable strategies that if caught off guard maybe as a result of an emotional state or a moment's carelessness, you can easily be swindled off your currency, crypto or fiat. A defence mechanism to develop is to always put at the back of your mind and consider yourself a target to both online and offline scammers, with such a consciousness developed, extra care on your part is sure to follow.

"Is it safe to buy now?" is a question that is bound to fuel many replies each person having their own unique reason for either telling you to buy or not to buy. A question like that is a sensitive question and at the end of every reply, IMO one should always be quick to point out that their reasons are personal and not in any way should be considered as a financial advice, to avoid being blamed for loss of ones portfolio.

Religion as a practice just as you have said does not completely eradicate self and one's nature/attributes. The practice of true religion, just helps to put these attributes under a check. Unfortunately, many do not practice true religion and their true nature that has been set either genetically or environmentally induced, has not been put under check and they only just hide under the the cover of being religious.

I think even manufacturers are having a hard time procuring materials for production. The pandemic has contributed truly to an extent in disrupting the supply chain and free flow of materials from field to manufacturer's industry. Even some of the recent government policies in various countries have also threatened the availability of work force, and free flow of raw materials from country to country. As a result, reduced quantity in supply and increased price for commodity must set in.

I'm waiting to see the outcome from Northern Ireland vs Italy tonight. I think the world cup will not be complete without the presence of the Italians, however a win in this game with lots of goals is most important to ensure that they scale past Switzerland who will be playing Bulgaria to have a world cup campaign. I hope they will be able to soak up the pressure to win and play decent football with Northern Ireland who can put a good performance. I tip Italy to win tonight's encounter by three goals to two;
Northern Ireland (2) vs Italy (3)

From self evaluation and the evaluation of a few gamblers around me, i have observed that over time due to gambling activity, some characters worthy of emulation have been unconsciously developed by some.

Some of the characters that i have observed from the life of a few core gamblers around me and myself are;

-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; Dwelling on the past and the possibility of "what could have been" is really not healthy and it can weigh you down and distract you from "what can be". Though not so easy, gamblers have developed this ability to easily look ahead from the "near win" of yesterday, to try again today.

-Positive mentality (that is always believing that everyday we gamble, it may just be our lucky day for the big win).

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of  previous results.

If you see yourself as a gambler, i implore you to put yourself in perspective and please share any positive trait that has been developed in your life as a result of gambling.

PS: The purpose of this discussion is not in any way to encourage you to gamble more, but a pointer to show that amidst the dark clouds, there is still a silver lining.

On the first note, the issues in the world can be overwhelming when one thinks about it, it could get depressing if one stays on the thought a bit longer. Almost everyone will tell you that you can start by changing yourself, this is true. But can the changes you make to yourself really make a huge impact on the world? can it stop insecurity, and diseases, can your little act really stop environmental challenges and so on. On your own, you may make an effort but your effort is nothing compared to the actions of those orchestrating the problems. Some problems you mentioned can be addressed, while others like diseases will be difficult to address. For the problems that can be addressed, you can consider gathering a group of people who share same concerns with you, pick a problem that can be addressed, maybe turn it into an NGO, create public awareness. I think you will have a greater chance solving a problem of the world as or with a group, rather than you alone. if there are already existing groups that share your concern and passion, you can join up as well, if the thought of starting your own is too much for you to handle.

for the case of organ donation, in countries where there is a "presumed consent law" for organ donation after death like in Spain, France, Norway etc, it is my opinion that more awareness be raised about it, so everyone knows about it and they at least know that they have the choice of opting out if they don't like it. It makes sense that your working organs could be the reason another person is alive after your death, but people should be made to know the concept and reason behind it.

In Portugal's group, where we have Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Ireland & Serbia, i would have easily tipped Portugal for qualification, unfortunately football really has a lot of twist. No one ever expected or saw that last minute goal coming.

Must be a really difficult time for CR7 at the moment, things at both club and country are going unexpected ways for him, we all know how committed he is to National duties and  how he has been dragging the team and making sure to be the difference between Portugal and any other team, unfortunately Serbia really played them down, and his singular performance was not enough this time.

Wahala , this your proverb chairman, na confirm one, lol.
I salute una well well. Unto contribution matter i dun come to drop my own wisdom, make all of we for smile wella.

Proverb: You nor go fit run pass your yansh.
Meaning: Don't be in too much of a hurry in life, take things easy.

Proverb: Dem nor dey roast corn for fueling station.
Meaning: Do the right thing at the right place, not all characters are suitable to be displayed everywhere you find yourself.

I agree with you completely, the fan tokens seem to me as just a reward system to most loyal fans as a way of recognising them and granting them access to certain privileges that most persons without a fan token cannot get, that is privileges depending on the amount of fan tokens that they have accumulated. Such tokens will encourage fans to be more engaged with a team they already love. Maybe with time, they may have extensive uses, but for now, i think that's the ideology behind it.

MUFC is suffering from some injury blow at the moment from the international break already, if the players who are selected for the game with Watford decide to give it their all, it will be that they have personal love for Ole and want to keep him, otherwise the players will stick to tactics and instructions from the coach so the outcome will be a true reflection of if Ole is getting better to handle the team or still not.


There are reports already that MUFC are looking to get Zidane as a possible replacement, if true, it is a pointer already that management have already started making moves to get him off.

The message of gender equality is getting stronger as women are fighting for more inclusion, and truth is i think that if these women really put themselves out there more, they may really be an option for the inclusion they seek. However the twist for the gender equality message is that some females are trying to turn it into a situation where they want to be more favoured than males even without qualifications, tipping the scale of equality against men as we have now started to see more men who are unnecessarily marginalized by some new rules that the people who set them claim is to promote equality.

Indeed even the Wales - Belarus game, which ended 5-1, they are now second in Group E.Great team character from Wales, special commendation to Ramsey for putting them in the lead very quickly in the first half, and also to Gareth Bale who is National team hero, playing his 100th game &  first game in a while for country after his hamstring injury, he is a big influence to the team.

Good coaching decision subbing him off after 45, their next game is going to be more challenging against Belgium, and the team definitely needs Bale in full playing mood.

This is somewhat the first of its kind here, that's why you observe that lot's of information are lacking and i think OP just wants to have some fun as well.  It seems to me, that it is medium for OP to meet people who share a common interest in COD (call of duty) as much as he does, because if it is just the $5 incentive, I don't think it is enticing enough to attract some users. So if you have an interest playing, Don't do it because of the small and unenticing incentive, but because you have an interest in meeting people like you.

Ethnicity and Religion are two cankerworms that have eaten deep into the fabric of society, Ethnicity is another form of racism and as we have it unfortunately, some people who are quick to point fingers against racist and then practice ethnicity in any form are not any different.

Religion is another which have pushed some who are extra religious out of practical reasoning, such individuals are usually rigid at times and may not give room for any to try change their opinions which is bad.

Recording all the time will mean piling up a whole junk of irrelevant files making it difficult to actually spot the relevant once easily. I agree that the government can get live surveillance feed of a place or individual via satellite feed, it is also possible for your phone calls to be recorded, what prompts the action however is if a person or place tickles their interest for either good or bad.

Truly it is not, but how can you know it is not for you if you never try it. I think before jumping into the conclusion that trading is not for you, you should first give it a try because who knows, it may just be your thing. However when you have given it a trial after learning and you just suck at it, be responsible enough to accept that it may not just be your thing and HODLing is best for you. If you must, you may persist and try to break the mojo of it not being your thing through extra work, if you are willing to commit dedicatedly, you may just be able to turn it in your favour and make it a thing for you.

Sometimes you get exhausted and frustrated before any legal procedure you take against gambling platforms falls through, they have tons of lawyers with a high probability that they have handled similar cases with clients who believe that they have been defrauded.

Another perspective is, you must be really careful with gambling platforms, some are put up by fraudulent individuals who have made it their format to set up fraudulent platforms to swindle cash from unsuspecting individuals, always use gambling platforms that have a good reputation and customer rating.

Harry Kane's performance was top notch for the England side, but many are of the opinion that he always plays better against lesser teams and performs  when it is not really crucial. I hope for England to make it to the World Cup, that should be a proper platform to evaluate performance of Harry kane as well as other players.
