It seems like the tabletop wargaming groups are really dead, so I feel you on this, haha.

You realize that athletes are exceptionally intelligent in different ways than people pecking at a keyboard all day, right?

Athletes are not dumb. Take a look at a football playbook. You going to remember all of that, be able to recall it, and then also know all the audible changes to a play that you have to make? Are you able to make split second decisions for 60 minutes while wearing knives on your feet like a hockey player? Do you have the hand eye coordination to hit a 94 mile per hour fast ball, but know that the pitcher you’re facing also has a 35% chance to throw an 82 mph sinker?

Acting like you have one kind of intelligence and shitting on people who have different kinds of intelligence just makes you look like you’re jealous.

That’s just a byproduct of how popular and in demand sports are for people to consume.

And here’s the kicker. For their worth, athletes are still underpaid for what they bring in the owners.

I’ve been an athlete my whole life. I don’t get why more tech savvy people have this absolute disdain for people who enjoy sports. Like, I get it, maybe some of the athletes at your school picked on you. Sweet. I was an athlete and ALSO got picked on by people. Constantly. I’m in my 30’s now, and stopped dwelling on that shit in college. Move on, you know?

There’s an easier way to just say you suck at physical things.

Posting something like this just makes you look really bitter.

Yeah, and you’d think that even leftists would agree that having the people in charge that want cheaper college, and cheaper medicine/healthcare would be the better option, even if (from their lens) they are a right wing party.

Sure. My point stands. A leftist will get 30-50% of what they want with a Democrat in office compared to 0% of what they want.

A toddler can work out it’s better that you get a small portion of what you want, instead of nothing. It’s really that simple.

Dude, you guys don’t give a shit that Myanmar is in a civil war, Sudan is in a civil war, China is ethnically cleansing Uighur Muslims, and that India and Pakistan are in almost-open conflict.

You put the fact that a trump ally in Israel wouldn’t listen to Democrats solely on the shoulders of Biden and Harris while completely not giving a singular fuck about any of those other conflicts.

This is why people like you are the PERFECT definition of slactivists, who are looking for a reason to not get a portion of what you want so you can feel morally superior to others for not participating in democracy.

Get over yourself.

I’ll give you a huge one.

Purity tests (when cosplaying as liberals). If a person isn’t super-duper liberal on every single issue then you can’t support them.

There’s tons of this on this very site. People who will tell you they’ll stay home and not vote for someone, if they only support 80% of what they seemingly want. People see this, then emulate said behavior.

Somehow, liberals would rather get 0% of what they want instead of 50% because of the missed 30% that the candidate doesn’t support.

Nothing of value was lost here.

Israel is such a pathetic country.

To crush your enemies, See them driven before you, And to hear the lamentation of their women.

Conquer the things stopping you from what you want to do. This can be poverty, people, or circumstance. See those things that you have beaten lie at your feet, and revel in the outcries of the things that you now have bested.

When I got to know my gf’s mom and realized I didn’t have massive levels of stress and anxiety around her like I do with my mom.

Yes but yokels in the flyover states will say no, so you’re not allowed to do this.

So far it’s been pretty good personally.

I work in stunts, and started training with a new stunt team that does some pretty cool projects. I’m not a member yet, but I keep getting invited to trainings and communicating with people in the team, so it’s been going pretty good. They have a few films announced for the upcoming year, so, hopefully I get to work on a few of them!

You realize that not every user of a computer is a developer, right?

Way too many of you think you’re the ‘average person’ in this world.
