My son made a python soccer game in class. I asked him if the game could do something that it doesn't do. He said yes, and began working on it. This is showing me that he truly understands what he's learning. I've never been more proud. Watching him code live is fucking cool. 🥹 #dadstr

nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 you finally found someone to add nests in all the apps
😅😘
Do you think it is time for teens club?
What do you mean?
Do you think we can invite teenagers to nostr?
Sure... We don't really have a super Gen Alpha friendly app IMO. It's going to take some work to build that experience for them, IMO. Otherwise, I don't think they'd stick around.
My son would because he wants zaps 😂 But I don't know if any of his friends would use any Nostr apps.
Wonderful! 💜🫂
rust is a language build by activists.
Based son! Didn't think you Americans cared about soccer though 😂
Eh...he probably doesn't. It was the school lesson.
That said, I do, I played all of my youth, coached a couple years in my early 20s, and my daughter plays now. We look forward to seeing a World Cup game here in the USA in 2026.
Cool! Has football (soccer) become any more popular in the states after Messi moved to Miami? I was in Miami when he played his first match and I was really surprised about the supporter engagement in the streets and in bars (away match).
It's slowly grown over the last 30 years IMO. When I was a kid, we had a small league with both boys and girls playing in the same league. We had a boys high school team. Now, we have separate boys and girls youth leagues, more age brackets, and middle school teams and high school teama for both boys and girls.
Slightly more. I def watch for Messi and love Inter Miami now.
I went to one San Jose game in the 90s and soccer back then was a very small fringe thing. We could hardly give away tickets on the radio for it.
I still have no idea what’s going on with the rules though, like offsides 🤣
This was harder to articulate than I thought it would be😂
So usually, if someone passes the ball to someone that’s behind enemy defense players, it’s an offside. Let’s say Messi is lurking a couple of feet behind the most defensive opposing player. If someone else passes the ball to him, he can’t catch the ball because he was offside when the pass was done. He’d have to be right beside the defensive player or in front of him at the time of the pass to be onside. Does that make any sense to you?
That does, thank you! That’s a good explanation. Because offsides means something totally different in American football.
I’m not too familiar with American football, how does offsides work there?
Wait. Soccer or football? I'm talking about ⚽ 😂
Green circle with the arrow is offsides. https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/d68cb26bacd9b5673d3c9da886b5ac54a8f569492da45e541d9498fd05d3188f.webp
I was talking about ⚽️ too but nostr:npub1nl8r463jkdtr0qu0k3dht03jt9t59cttk0j8gtxg9wea2russlnq2zf9d0 mentioned 🏈 so I was wondering how offsides worked there😂
It’s basically to prevent “goal hanging” (players hanging around the opposition’s goalkeeper). It’s quite a simple rule. What makes it contentious is being able to tell if the player receiving the ball was behind all of the opposition’s defence players at the exact time the ball was kicked to them. Hence the introduction of VAR to digitally do what the official linesmen do (those officials running up and down the side of the pitch).
Other main rules include “fouls” I.e. impeding another player - the severity of which leads to either a yellow card (a warning, but get two of those during a match and you’re off the pitch) or a red card (bad or dangerous foul) and you’re instantly sent off. Fouls committed in the penalty box area lead to a penalty.
You also can’t handle the ball hence it’s called football 😁
People here still gont get the rules though. At my daughter's game I kept saying that a girl on the other team was offsides and yelled to my daughter to continue cherry picking until the refs see it. I had a grandma tell me that they can't be offsides when they have the ball. She was a real Karen about it. I explained to her how it all works and that I've played and coached for many years. Her husband packed up his fold up chair and walked to the car after that. I wasn't mean about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thankfully I haven’t seen the Karen parents at my niece’s softball games but I fear them already 🤣
If he's approaching soccer through the lens of "how do I create/evolve the rules of the game" he's gonna go far!
There are pawns, and there are players. Then, there are programmers who control the whole game 😏
Wow, how proud you must feel 😍
Awww 🥰 you’re a good dad
Dad goals!!
That’s amazing

Awesome!
Inspiring 🥹 I hope to be on your son's level one day
