Never been interested in American sports, but if that were to change, I think Baseball is the one I'd go for.

I'm hugely into the whole idol thing and it's always FASCINATING to me just hoooow many girls out there are trying to get into it but fail miserably. I don't mean this to sound gloating or anything, quite the contrary actually, it honestly somewhat breaks my heart. Like these girls (a lot of them, anyway) are genuinely trying their very best to fullfill their dream of performing in front of supportive fans (which is something I commend and appreciate them for), and I can't even begin to imagine how devastating it has to be to fail badly. This kinda mindset is even further reinforced if you watch every single idol anime you can get your hands on (Locodol <3).

Obviously this has been going on for decades with chika idols and to some extent "nugu" groups in kpop, but social media made all of this stuff a lot more accessible to international fans. So I regularly now get some idol channel on my YT frontpage from some group that has LESS FOLLOWERS THAN I HAVE HAD. And I'm as far away from being a talented cute asian idol as one can be, and they put A LOT more effort into all of this. The latest one YT pushed on me has 380 subscribers....

And I love YouTube for pushing these. I subscribe to EVERY SINGLE ONE of these idol channels. I watch their videos to increase their CTR, they get like 5-10 comments at most and I always leave one as well. Specifically in english, so the girls can look at the comment and go "wow, we even have international fan(s)!"

Obviously I forget about them right away since they don't release anything and fade intostay in obscurity

Some people on reddit came up with the term "nugu saviour complex", which is kinda hilarious in how close it hits to home for me. If I had Elon Musk money, I would rent out Tokyo Dome and have all of these girls perform there just 365 days a year and just pay people to show up and cheer on them.

Take this one for example. That's not the one YT just recommended me, but there's like at least a dozen or so within the last year alone.

Spoiler

You can't tell me you don't feel a bit sad at least for these girls, can you?! I'm glad there's at least an audience (one guy clapping lmao ), I've genuinely seen worse at stuff like bowling alleys opening and such. And yeah, obviously they're not hugely talented, they're idols. Nothing Sony Money couldn't make up for.

i agree on baseball.

loved rounders in school as a kid. i don't know the difference but it was fun. so i guess baseball.

american football is more like rugby which i don't like.

real football is my favourite sport.

 

[Mistake]

Judging by the state of things, I guess I won't be seeing the NBA vs the WNBA anytime soon

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Millions online are so locked to their own sightlines that they can't see the any periphery worth noticing. Maybe it's always been this day with another name,

Used to love both rounders and footy at school. Rounders was pretty rare though. I think we only used to play it once or twice in warmer weather.

What does Archer do when Porthos has to pee or shit? There's no dog door and there's no outdoors so the dog must be peeing and shitting on the floor all the time.

Me when I was at school here in the UK:


"I'd like to play cricket, I'll bring my own bat in..."

School: 'Cool..'

"I'd like to play rounders, I'll bring the same bat in..."

School: 'Fine..'

"I'd like to play baseball, I'll bring my bat in..."

School: 'OMG, THAT'S A DEADLY WEAPON -- DETENTION!?!#!!'

Or you phone a takeaway and they already know your order, name, and address by your voice or probably your phone number

Why does the demon slayer girl still have bamboo in her mouth? Is it just an anime fetish? Seriously cause she seems like she can control her impulses well

Game is half over, but the Canucks/Avs game on now is awesome.

That's what I find hot

I miss 90s TV show intros.

 

[EerieArcade]

Would anyone like this?

The productions of various entertainment venues in new Orleans is mind numbingly boring and played out.

So tired of the trumpets and the color scheme. I had to listen to wynton marsalis for the last 2 decades play the same 2 notes on his fucking horn.

No one looked like they were having fun in all the pregame festivities. Just looked bored

Popeyes has opened a store near me. Wanted to try their food when I went to America but never got around to it. May drop in after work.

 

[Celcius]

it's so annoying when you have a piece of clothing that you've really liked for years and then you go to buy another one, exact same item exact same size, but they slightly changed something and it doesn't fit the same way the old one did

NHL All Star Game is awesome this year. County format. CAN vs USA now!

The teams play for real trying to win. All skilled and speed baed so you wont get dirty hits, but even a fight now at opening face off!

No stupid all star games like the past where players are dicking around and a team wins 14-12.

Two fights at the open!!!

Holy fuck, three fights. Game is 9 seconds in!

today I had a dream inside a dream inside a dream...

that was weird...
after the second waking up I thought I was actually awake now, even tho I somehow woke up in the old house of my uncle, which he sold a decade ago.

it's weird how you just accept weird stuff in your dreams.

I had a dream where I was suddenly at a creepy hallway with a bunch of doors on both side and I said nope and the scenery changed to something much nicer. That hallway reminded me of a liminal space

Really liked the 1st season of animal control on fox but they keep adding new cast members.

Almost none of them fit in. And then a character I didn't see at all last season randomly showed up like he never left.

Also makes the fatal flaws of replacing characters with a new character that acts the same as the older character they shit canned. It's really weird

i need to start given less shits

Never knew Kevin hart was so short. He’s hosting the nba all star game with the tnt crew and he’s a midget. Googling it, he’s somewhere between 5’2 and 5’5 depending on the site.

People who keep saying "my rescue dog" like they literally saved it from a burning house should be thrown in a burning house and never rescued.

Finger foods like nuggets, tots, fries, pizza, etc. taste different (worse) when eating with a fork.

Canada destroying Finland now. So it'll be Canada/USA finals on Thursday. Hope there's more fights!

 

[Jsisto]

Ever been in a stall somewhere taking a shit and someone just stands directly in front of the stall waiting for you to finish? That is psychotic behavior.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I've built up so much disdain for my boss after eight years that I'm going to up and leave. I can't even condense all the stupidity into one paragraph.

The good thing is that I know which red flags to look out for when Im going job hunting. Thanks assholes.

Never realized it was tied to that!

i still think it should be surprised raichu instead of pikachu.

pikachu is a cunt. the only thing he's good for is evolving into raichu..

C beams (cesium beams) are used in space combat. Reaching speed near the speed of light, they are fired towards the enemy ship to disrupt and destroy its shields and hull. They glitter on impact. The Tannhäuser Gate was the location of a campaign in which Roy Batty participated, having "flown gypsy ships with the Russians" there.
