Sorry Jaguar: The Market Rejected Your Cars, Not Your "Logo"

 This article is basically claiming Jaguar’s rebranding caused a 98% sales collapse. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was really the “rebranding” itself (which would be kind of logical, haha), or if they’re just trying to pin the blame on that instead of admitting the real problems: overpriced cars, weaker product lineup, and poor marketing. 
Even my friend bought themselves a Range Rover with a Jaguar motor, sorry Jaguar it's not LGBTQs fault

Bet354 - La Liga #2 2025

Weekend bet : total flop. Bonus bet incoming to recover the losses. Vinicius might be the sleeper pick nobody’s talking about.

 Before stage two, we’ll actually do some real analysis, unlike last time, which was just hoping

Bet354 - La Liga #1 2025

 I start with €5, making 1–2 bets of €0.50 each per stage. If I win on day one, I can bet again in the same stage. Let’s see how much I end up with by the end of the league.

Back from vacations

 Going on vacation is pure blis if you're traveling with people who are roughly your vibe. You know, same energy level, similar chaos tolerance, and ideally, more than three or four of them. That way, the group dynamic stays fresh, and there's always someone up for snacks or spontaneous karaoke.

Now, finding those magical travel companions? Not easy. For some, it's like assembling the Avengers. But if you've got the hold on tight. They're gold.

But here’s the real gem I took away from this trip: Think more about yourself. Not in a selfish, "I’m the main character and everyone else is background noise" kind of way. More like: this is your time. Don’t hand it over to someone else’s schedule, mood swings, or indecisiveness. Be free. Try weird stuff. Do cool things. Be the person who says “yes” to paddleboarding at sunset or dancing in the rain.

(Disclaimer: If you’re traveling with your partner, give them your time. All of it. Be their personal butler if needed. That’s love. But for everyone else? Boundaries, baby.)

Fixing the Streets Isn’t Rocket Science

I think it's actually pretty easy to get violence off the streets in Spain, but people always have to make a big fuss about it. Sure, it might take a while, but when someone’s walking around asking 'hey friend, got a cigarette ("amego tenes un cegarro)? or whatever things that make the streets unsafe; just quietly send him the fuck back to his country and ban him from entering again.

If they don’t want to remove all these foreigners from the country, then at least let people talk about it. Let the rumors spread, and things will calm down quickly.

No need to do what Hitler did just sending a few poor guys home would be enough.

Maybe it’s not ethical, but it's still better than being a Nazi.

Leveling Up My Digital Playground

 With all the visits my blog has been getting lately, I've decided it's time for an upgrade! I'm moving to better hosting (yep, no more messing around), changing the CMS (that's the blogging software—I always get confused too), and soon, the new design will look so good you'll think you're on the wrong site!

But wait, there's more—I'm adding some fun new pages: a cool programming section to show off my tech skills, a web game page perfect for wasting a bit of time (you're welcome), a TikTok page so I can finally put my scrolling addiction to good use, and maybe even a streaming page with darts, car stuff, or moto vlogs—haven't picked yet. Ideas welcome!

I'm going for a more professional look and will get serious about SEO (yeah, I said CEO before, my bad!) to get even more traffic. I might also create a forum or something similar, because what's better than chatting with strangers on the internet?

Maybe I'll add logins for games or something special, who knows? The sky's the limit! My big goal? Getting ten times more visits and hopefully earning some extra money each month. And if one of these new ideas takes off, I could even become a full-time blogger relaxing on a beach somewhere (gotta dream big!).

Stick around! Maybe someday my random thoughts will get borrowed by famous YouTubers—and they'll conveniently "forget" to credit their brilliant source: ME. Now that would be funny!

Why That Hammer Test on TikTok Proves Nothing

 The ads you see on TikTok and elsewhere for screen protectors often show some guy smashing different protectors with a hammer, and only his doesn’t break.

But to truly be 100% sure it works, it should be tested while installed on an actual phone screen, not just on a table. A protector might survive the hammer, but that doesn’t mean your phone screen won’t crack underneath.

So (like in this TikTok video), try again — but as I said, it needs to be tested on a real device.

The Art of Nitpicking: Because Your Opinion Matters Most (Apparently)

 I wrote years ago about Mat Watson from Carwow: his reviews often skip things that actually matter, and he throws in a lot of subjective nonsense. Like complaining about VW’s touchscreen instead of physical buttons—sure, I don’t like it either, but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad for everyone. He moans about things not fitting his personal taste, as if that’s some universal truth.

And today I saw a short from MKBHD doing the exact same thing. He’s upset that Samsung’s latest update makes you swipe down twice to access settings—one swipe shows notifications, the second brings up quick settings. He says, “No one should copy Samsung.” Why? Just because he doesn’t like it? Maybe someone else prefers it that way! And the kicker: he even admits in the same video that you can change it back to the old behavior with a simple setting. So what’s he whining about? It’s pointless complaining for the sake of complaining.

Honestly, we don’t need these self-important “preferences” shoved down our throats. It can be funny if someone’s bias is presented creatively, but most of the time it’s just annoying.

When Church Turns Into Coachella: Is That Smoke… or Incense?

 I wish I believed in God — I really do — but I’m not the type to go to church or pray.

Well… unless we’re talking about winning the lottery. Then I suddenly remember how to make the sign of the cross with extra enthusiasm.

I grew up surrounded by religion. My grandparents were super devout — and not just into religion, but also into superstitions deluxe. You name it, they believed it.

Like: “Don’t make the sign of the cross backwards or the devil will come.”

Or: “Cover all the mirrors when someone dies, or their soul might get trapped inside like it’s a paranormal Pokéball.”

To be honest, I believed in a lot of those things when I was little. Some made sense. Others felt straight-up cursed.

But let’s skip the ghost stories for now. I want to talk about technology and religion — and how I was raised to think they were mortal enemies.

Where I come from, the idea was: if you want to be truly pure, like monk-level pure, you don’t touch technology. No phones, no microphones, no smart altars with Bluetooth Jesus™. The holiest people were the monks in the mountains, living in wooden cabins, avoiding both sinners and Wi-Fi.

Sure, I know most religious people today use technology at home — nothing wrong with that.

But when I walk into a church and see flashing LED screens, wireless mics, or some priest live-streaming Mass with a ring light…

I can’t help but feel like the sacred vibe is glitching.

Again, I’m not even religious myself — I don’t go to church. But when I do see one, and it looks more like a concert stage than a spiritual place… I kind of lose respect for it.

There’s something about raw, candle-lit, echoing silence that feels holy. Not surround sound and PowerPoint hymns.

Hear Me Out — This Is How We Win (Hala Madrid)

 Every now and then, Real Madrid needs a reset—a squad shake-up to ignite a new era, just like Mourinho did over a decade ago. Despite having a relatively young squad today, the team has started to feel too familiar, too predictable. If Ancelotti hadn’t been dismissed, he could’ve tried a similar tactical approach to the one he used against City a year or two ago—I can’t remember exactly when, but I do remember it was a defensive masterclass.

In today’s preseason glimpse with Xabi Alonso, he’s already tested some fresh legs, signaling that changes may be coming. But let’s be honest: once the preseason dust settles, most of the starting XI will likely look very similar to last season—with one key difference: a defense that actually holds its shape.

If Madrid really wants to rewrite the script, it’s time to be bold. A system like the 5-2-3 could be revolutionary at the Bernabéu—compact, lethal on the break, and tailor-made for the squad’s explosive front three. Here's what that might look like:

                                                Courtois

        Trent/Carvajal   Asensio   Rüdiger   Huijsen   Fran García/Mendy

                    Tchouaméni (Ceballos)       Valverde (Camavinga)

              Endrick/Güler/Rodrygo   Mbappé   Vinícius (Bellingham)
