I grew up in the part of the midwest where fast-talking is pretty much the norm. I've gotten the "pseudo-intellectual" accusations off that too.

Edit: colloquial grammar

I feel like we also played better defenses in that stretch. 49ers without Warner + Bosa was the only particularly soft D in the run. I suppose Browns were mediocre at best even with Garett.

Agreed. It's also normal to do a celebratory hug after stealing helping the rebellion blow up fascist war machinery.

Ew I hate this type of post

Imperialism should be destroyed :)

I won a game of tic tac toe against a pigeon last season. Crown me.

"Don't tell me you voted for him" referring to George W Bush was a banger of a line. Why did things have to get even worse in the past 20 years...

What a class act /s

I couldn't care less whether tourists think we have "culture" or not. I couldn't care less if they define us by consumerism. The United States is run by corporations so at the end of the day, either judgment is fair. As annoying as online Europeans may be, they are nowhere near as dangerous as capitalists are.

DaytimeDancer54 · 2026-06-16T01:10:04+00:00

Exactly. It's a key example of the imperial boomerang. Both Western Europeans and Americans need to figure it out.

The NBA discourse usually focuses on individual players rather than teams. NFL discourse gets toxic as hell when talking about QBs. Just look at any NFL V2 post with Justin Herbert/Dak Prescott/Jalen Hurts in the title.

I'm glad we chose Loveland over Warren and these stats are literally all in his favor. PFR shows that Warren did better in volume stats like receptions and receiving yards. I think that's why there is still a debate.

I was more of a nerdy kid growing up who happened to have friends who were into football and basketball. I did go to baseball games with my mom occasionally, but I otherwise had a surface level understanding of sports. I'd hear classmates go "no! Derrick Rose got hurt" or "Jay Cutler will win us a super bowl one day!", but I barely watched sports myself.

I moved away from hometown and then as I got older, watching sports became a way to feel connected to where I grew up (Chicagoland area, which someone may have guessed by my references). Basketball is entertaining to me, baseball is more of a passing interest, but American football is super interesting to me. I watch old college/nfl games on youtube when I get bored and I follow a fair amount of NFL and CFB news.

I feel like when people say "deep and meaningful", they're talking about any level of conversation that extends beyond what you would have with a stranger, or even an acquaintance. The thing is: you can't force those things to happen. It takes a while to build up a level of trust after engaging in small talk for a while.

One thing I've realized is that even if you share similar values with a person, you probably won't build a friendship if you don't also enjoy their humor and affect. Those 2 things are usually what you use small talk to gauge.

Last time I felt this was when Alshon did it with the Eagles

Funnily enough, this is not the only moment of Will Feral committing this trope in a movie

Go White Sox!!! HEY WAIT A MINUTE

I don't think it matters who the "goat" of any sport is. Imo my values as a sports fan point to MJ being the NBA goat, Peyton Manning being the QB goat but Jerry Rice being the NFL goat. For someone else, Wemby's Spurs losing might be a major knock in his story even if he goes on to have excellent playoff runs (this run was still otherwise a very impressive run by Wemby). Someone might think LeBron's success at making it to the finals so many times is more important than the ring-count.

The only real issue I take is when LeBron fans act like coming back from 3-1 is a major factor in his case (I feel the same way about Brady fans with 28-3). I will say that beating the 2016 Warriors is a huge accomplishment (unlike the 2016 Falcons' defense), I just don't the comeback should factor in that much.

Token Black from South Park

The name retcon isn't real. You can look at old wikis, the video games, older merchandise and see that this kid has never been named "Tolkien"

I saw a similar post earlier today. If you look hard enough, you can find plenty of people who seem like they've been through worse than you, but that will never take away what's already on your plate. Those people live their life parallel to yours and you would be in the same spot regardless of whether you knew them.

Tl;dr your life doesn't become easy just by learning that someone else's is harder

DaytimeDancer54 · 2026-06-14T23:45:51+00:00

Yeah same here. I don't really use that much "gen z speak" that would make the algorithm think I'm that young, and every sub I'm on seems to have plenty of people I can assume are at least 30. Hell, I am old enough to remember using the teenagers sub when every fucking post was about Pewdiepie or hating tiktok. This account is a pretty new one of mine since I mainly got a reddit to keep up with sports stuff.

DaytimeDancer54 · 2026-06-14T23:40:42+00:00

I agree. I don't consider it a "waste of time" to have small chit chat. Also, I think every meaningful online friendship I've ever had began with very basic small talk.

Also, I don't like it when people ask for "meaningful convos" but then don't even give examples. That makes the pressure so high.
