When I was in we had to requalify every year. You can actually build up a tolerance so its not that bad.

I think any content creator that makes content you enjoy. Podcasts, music, whatever. Support whoever makes you happy.

Dark was great. For anyone watching for the first time, Netflix made a great website that helps you keep up with who is who with no spoilers. Select the last episode you’ve finished and it only gives information to that point.

I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn’t actually work which was nice.

Well said. You articulated what I was thinking much better than I did.

Sports is a very broad term. I am aware of MLBs antitrust exemption. However, that is a unique situation that does not apply across all sports. That’s why we have seperte leagues like the NFL and XFL. My kids playing little leugue are not affected by this at all.

As for the 90% of males comment, this is rediculous. It is very possible to both follow and discuss politics while also have other interests. It’s not an either or situation. There is nothing wrong with having distractions you enjoy.

I agree that pro sports are subject to massive corruption. But that doesn’t make them a scam.

How are sports a scam?
