LeBron James is a great basketball player, but not the greatest (Michael Jordan enters the building). What I do not like about LeBron is the fact that he needs to say ‘yes’ to everything, while he should say no. I mean, absolutely a great player, but why on earth would you lie about Liverpool, Peter Crouch and Henderson? I mean come on man?

What can be, unburdened by what has been. Her go-to phrase. And yes, she is the candidate from the Democratic party, who is competing against Donald Trump. I am not a fan of her, nor a fan of Trump or Joe Biden, but this is just hilarious.

In the US, Swing states are states that can swing between voting for either the Democratic or Republic party. For the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the key swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Some say, he will win the majority of the swing states against Kamala Harris and become president again, but I am not entirely sure about this. I don’t think Harris is a strong candidate, but Trump doesn’t look as strong as he was against Hillary Clinton.

Going to be a true nail-biter.

Honestly, I should have sold it to people who wanted this when it was not available that much. I mean, I probably haven’t touched this console for over a year or so, just because there are no games I like to play on it. It is a huge disappointment actually. I noticed it is also because I use Xbox Game Pass more often, because it is more convenient.

I am going to give Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO a chance. Let’s see if that will make a difference.

Flash delivery is a type of delivery service where products, such as groceries, meals, or medicines, are delivered within a very short time frame, typically between 10 to 30 minutes after an order is placed. This service is primarily supported by the use of small warehouses or hubs located near customers (often called dark stores) and fast transportation methods like bikes or scooters.

Dark stores are warehouses or distribution centers specifically designed for online orders and are not open to the public. They function as central hubs where products are stored, packed, and prepared for delivery to customers, mainly in combination with the so called flash delivery service.

The Papageno Effect is the opposite of the Werther Effect. It refers to the idea that media can play a protective role in preventing suicide by showing constructive ways of dealing with crises. The term comes from the character Papageno in Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute” (1791).

The Papageno Effect highlights the importance of responsible media reporting on suicide, which can have a positive impact by:

1. Highlighting stories of individuals who have found ways to cope with suicidal thoughts or difficult life situations.
2. Offering resources and information on how to get help.
3. Emphasizing that there are alternatives to suicide and that crises are temporary.

The Papageno Effect suggests that media can help reduce suicide rates by promoting resilience, hope, and effective coping strategies.

The Werther Effect is a term used in psychology, which refers to the phenomenon where media reports on suicide can lead to an increase in suicide rates, particularly through imitation. It is named after the protagonist of “The Sorrows of Young Werther” (1774) by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The term was coined by sociologist David Phillips in the 1970s to describe the contagious nature of suicide, where sensational or romanticized portrayals of suicide in the media could inspire vulnerable individuals to take their own lives in a similar manner. Key characteristics of media reports that contribute to the Werther Effect include:

1. Excessive or sensationalist coverage of the method of suicide.
2. Glamorizing the individual who died by suicide or their reasons for it.
3. Failing to mention mental health resources or alternatives to suicide.

For the opposite of the Werther Effect: Papageno Effect.

I mean, obviously, it is crazy to see how much one card can cost. That Pikachu Van Gogh card was crazy, but tell me: how on earth is it possible this Charizard card is valued this much while the Ivysaur card is equally beautiful? What makes the difference?
