Basketball is also shit. Netball is better but only because its played by ladies in short skirts!

Ice Hockey is ok I suppose.

Basketball, baseball and american football are all pretty horrible. Basically games devised to allow as much advertising absorbtion as possible by introducing a ton of downtime. At least ice hockey is a fun spectical to watch.

Nah NFL is good once you get to grips with it. Tactician's wet dream.
This. Honest to god I know this is going to sound a bit over the top but I think you have breaks in NFL for the same reason you don't have to make a move immediately in Chess. Sure these breaks are the reason that advertisers have raised it to the level of popularity it has achieved, but a well executed play is just as well thought out as any chess move ever was.

Yeah, that other thrilling spectator sport, chess.

It's as tactical as chess but far better to watch. It's like a more exciting version of rugby.

Had pizza bought for us for lunch today. People sweating over the spicy one with "omg hot jalapeno" peppers. About as hot as a wet fart. I should cook them something really hot and bring it in.

£98 at the dentist this afternoon for 2 X-Rays, a check-up and a scrape & polish. Expensive but worth every penny.

I'm told you can get a full mouth of implants for £40,000...apparently, that's at the cheap end of Harley Street...they give you direwolf teeth for an extra £30K...

Dentists chairs are uncomfortable fecking things if you got long legs

I hadn't realised how bad this was for the economy.

-It makes participating companies effectively publicly subsidised.

-It replaces formerly paying jobs with unpaid labour

-Tax paid from those jobs is now just sucked in as profits for participating companies.

The whole thing does the opposite of its stated aims - it destroys paid employment.

I cant believe how right wing and politically suicidal this government is.

Aye, government is getting worse and worse with each passing yea, give it 10-20 years and slavery will be back in full force more or less.
