La Liga - Barcelona, they have won it twice, I don't see any radical changes that would prevent them from winning again.
Premier Leauge - Manchester City. The competition would be tough once again but City comes back after each bad season.
Ligue 1 - PSG, Bundesliga - Bayern, they got no competition.
Serie A - Inter Milan, even though they lost against a swedish team both home and away in champions league, they don't seem to have competitor in home league.

4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you choose if you were the one on: August 15, 2026, 12:03:34 AM
A man in Illinois won a $1.04 billion jackpot a few days ago, now he has to choose how he would receive his money.
He could accept a total sum of $450 million at once or receive 30 payments in instalments for the next 29 years.
The lump sum of $450 million sounds nice, but when you consider the taxes, you might be walking home with just over half of that money at the end of the day. I'm not a tax expert, and I don't know the tax regulations of the US or the state, but from my rough reading, you'll have to pay about 40%-42% total in taxes for that amount.

If you receive payment in instalments for 29 years, you would receive about $34 million years. So if you take out a total tax payment of about 40%, you would receive about 20-21 million every year after tax.
So what would you choose if you were the one?
For me, I would choose to receive the payment by instalment. $20 million a year puts me in the top 1% of earners in the world, and I can do whatever investment I want to with that. With a payment like that, I may not even need to touch a penny from the other payments.

The full story here and Here

There are a few Youtube videos already explaining which might be the better option and the conclusion is how he would spend the money. Getting it lumpsum would give him a large amount of money at once which if invested correctly would bring him much more money than those 29 years installments but If he's not good with money and want to have a steady flow of money in long term, the installments would be a better idea. Another thing that makes installments not as attractive are inflation. 20 million now and 20 million 10 years later won't be the same due to inflation.

If you have any suggestions, complains, recommendations, you can discuss it over here.
I had a glance at the list, and I think it would be more efficient to transition it into a faucet rotator that automatically goes to the next available faucet for claims.
- If you're capable of creating something like that, a feature that allows users to disable some of the faucets could also come in handy.

I was too thinking about something similar, I'll do that as a separate page for the regular users and let everyone know when its completed.

I am actually surprise to see that there are some people who doesn't know how to face public, this happened on a seminal hold on our group friends where someone among us was asked to host the people since it was their turn to do that, but it happened that weren't able to present themselves very well. Though I never mean to post this here but something stroke me to post here to know if we have same people here, there are some people who doesn't know how to express themselves in public and they would want it to be private or somehow meet someone in private to be able to express themselves and their feelings. Same thing happened to popular person we know to be Mark, and through such experience he created facebook where people can communicating and sharing their feelings through online.

have you experienced such a thing before to you knowledge?

I'm such weird case. I guess everyone gets a bit nervous addressing a huge crowd but some people get more anxious.
In my last farewell, I was surrounded by about 20 of my co-workers and had to give a small farewell speech. I was confident I'll speak some sentences and didn't prepared for it but when I had to stand and start speaking, all words were lost from my mind. I was having awkward long silences between sentences and my coworkers thought I was not being able to speak due to separation anxiety while I was not being able to speak in public. I was not even a bit sad leaving them.

All of quaterfinals result came as I and most of regular football fans predicted. The semi finalist team turned out to be exactly what most of the people predicted when the official draw was out. They are the top 4 teams in ranking as well.
It would now be more difficult to predict. Spain has a good defense but they lack players to produce scoring shots, France too was not as impressive lately. England looks good but they are winning with difficult and Argentina are just getting through games.

Manpower and capital are two essential inputs for production. A man can't physically be involved in multiple jobs while idle capital could help several production.
It's either you working or your money working. The people investing are not lazy but are trying to make their idle capital work. The collection and concentration of small capitals making a big one would move the economy.

I’m curious what members consider to be life’s greatest achievement?

In my current state of mind, I believe the greatest achievement in life is living self-reliantly and sustainably—with only minimal and deliberately chosen dependencies on outside sources—while enjoying the complete freedom to shape my time and forge my own character.

From a person in early 30s, the greatest achievement in life is to find a compatible partner to live with. Every other things in life are trivial compared to it. When you have a partner who trusts you and whom you can depend upon, your life gets easier. It's like two brains and four hands working for the same missions.

13  Economy / Economics / Re: Why free time may become the world's most valuable asset? on: July 08, 2026, 06:36:58 AM

AI, data, and money can be made again. 
But 24 hours can never become 25. That's the harsh truth.

Today companies fight for your attention with apps and ads. 
Tomorrow they will fight for your health, your family time, and your learning.

Remember that New ideas come from free time.
In a world where machines do the work, 
the people who own their free time will own the future.
Share your perspectives. Smiley

With and automation people would have free time, With enough automation, companies would be able to get your data without much action from yourself.
But with the decreasing population, human resource would be a sought-after asset in future. Specially in the hospitality sector as people would have more money and leisure.
14  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Indian street food: why does it have to be so dirty? on: April 24, 2026, 08:44:24 AM
It was not much different in China either but the government supervision has improved most of it.
15  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Indian street food: why does it have to be so dirty? on: March 23, 2026, 06:35:50 AM
It's both lack of civil sense and authorities failure to implement proper laws. China was not much different 20 years ago but they with a strict law has raised a generation of civil and moral youth and a better quality of food and overall hygiene.

Indians are proud of doing all the wrong things and their society accepts it. When the people who asks for proper hygiene are ridiculed, you can't expect to move forward. India is changing too but the pace is very slow.

Video: "Crypto isn't cool anymore"

https://www.economist.com/video/CVan3v3n7ga/ecJNYicn?f=%2F

The gist: Bitcoin is mainstream now, and can be bet on with the same tools your grandpa uses to buy stocks (ETF), and is absolutely mainstream from a regulatory standpoint. And even the president of the USA is a Bitcoin speculator. All of this means that there is nothing "counterculture" about Bitcoin any longer: it's just another button on your investment app--another product among thousands of possibilities.

The Economist points to this as a reason BTC's price has declined by about half in the last year. The question is, how does it get back? I can't think of any cultural phenomenon that lost its coolness and then regained it. Usually that's a one way street.



I agree to some extent. Bitcoin can't just rise infinitely, and it would have an upper limit and with ETF's bitcoin investment had been easy and accessible for all. But my understanding about current bitcoin price is its much less than what it could be. We have not seen any significant effect of bitcoin going through traditional trading channels. There had been a lot of buying and holding but no price rise. There are multiple things to blame for it but I'm still almost certain that bitcoin would soon go over and stabilize over 100K.

Feedback about Crypto Traveler: Crypto Traveler is all in one travel solution where you can book Flights, hotels or get esim to stay connected. The best thing about it seems the option to pay using crypto. It do support traditional payments through cards and bank transfers but it would be more useful for people who have their money in crypto or the ones who don't have an international valid credit or debit card.
The best thing is prices, I compared both flights and hotels and they came out cheaper than bookings.com prices.

This miscalculated war waged by US might be the ultimate path for fall of US's hegemony.
The world, at least the middle east won't be same again. If Iran gets to continue its nuclear program, Saudi too would want some. Iran and Saudi are waging cold war against each other in Yemen and are regional rivals.
A worn out US means a weakened Ukraine and it would also make it easier for China to take Taiwan. Long period of high oil price would make EU poorer and Russia richer.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet only on the 4 best clubs on: March 13, 2026, 09:19:46 AM
Is betting on just 2-4 teams profitable, especially if they frequently win every match? Let's take teams from La Liga and the Premier League?

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Arsenal
Manchester City

These four are giants in their respective leagues.

I plan to bet on every match, but I prefer single bets to parlays.
Has anyone tried this strategy before?
If so, what were the results?

Not a good idea as top teams mostly get very low odds and betting against them too is very risky. I find it easier to predict or get better odds compared to risk on less hyped teams. If you have a large bankroll and are doing martingale to get a profit than you might be safer dealing with these teams but for anyone with smaller bankroll, they are neither fun nor profitable.

If there is a man who don't have respect for democracy that man is Donald Trump. He invades other countries at will and that is a bad signal for other president coming after them. There is no difference between him and president Putin of Russia who invaded Ukraine. Now my question is, are these two really democrats or a problem to world?

Your Causational and Correlation don't match. Having respect to democracy is a different thing than starting wars.
The choices they made could still be popular to their people even though we might not like it. If it weren't they might have been impeached or thrown away in a revolution.
