Baseball >> American football. Baseball is much more American and more entertaining than football. If I had to pick a sport to watch that wasn't a motorsport, it would absolutely be baseball. I'll always miss the stupid Metrodome "We like it here"

I don't know how people enjoy football. You sit through commercials of hair loss treatments, dick pills, and gambling ads, and then you get maybe a minute of action. Somehow it's even worse to see in person.

Baseball is fun to play, but I've never watched it on TV. The pro games can get crazy long, I know there was a game once that was like 30+ innings or something.

>palmistshouse: Yes! That was one of my favorite things, the possibility of a long game. THEY hate you and America and they introduced the manfred man (zombie runner) to prevent this: in extra innings, there's automatically a runner on second. Disgusting! I watched the Astros-Mariners 18 inning game. At inning 12 I drove to see a movie, when I came out it was still going!

@ Oscarspage, similar thing happened to my dad and uncle when they were younger. Went to see a local game, it lasted until dark and they ended up just going home because it wasn't worth it to be there anymore.

I only follow baseball as a whole closely enough to know the most famous players and most of the controversies, but I do keep up with my local team (the Twins). Love baseball season. I think it's the only sport where you can eat during the game, so it's my kinda thing. Will never not be impressed by how fluidly those guys let sunflower seeds fall out of their mouths.

baseball's cool. i mean, it's fun. i like playing it (well, i used to, i can't now) and watching people i know play it, more than i like watching it on TV. i find professionals -- in all fields -- to be boring

I used to work at a gym many lifetimes ago and cleaning the men’s restroom was the worst!!!!! Some people genuinely do not know how to use the toilet correctly.

Growing out of kissing is cringe. Life is so no good if there is no kissing in it. Everyone kiss more NOW even if it's just a peck on the head of a little critter

i hope u enjoy count of monte cristo! i read it last summer and was just blown away by the story. it's great to be able to reclaim some of the duller moments onboard by reading and doing your own things (and finding things to keep the evil idleness away at night is so important..). cheers and be kind to yourself :)
may good sleep find you very soon that sounds like torture holy shit
may the sleep goblin get fired 🙏
God trying to sleep in the presence of snoring is the worst 😩
I spent years being sleep-deprived due to a sleep apnea chronic snorer on the other half of the bed. I feel for you and hope you get some good sleep soon!
