ranbo das posted:please source your quotes I actually for the first time watched an esport event, heroes of the dorm on espn. It was mostly silly build up and commentary, with the game on after tons of commercials and build up. It was more exciting to my wife than baseball and she had no idea what was going on, and actively dislikes exports. Baseball existing is bad, and the schadenfreude is on me that it still exists as a major league.

I too do not see the allure of pretty much any sport except archery. That being said, I did lose my hearing at age 5 accompanied with very mild brain damage so maybe I just skipped the "Sports!" portion of boyhood that other kids get.

I was never really into sports, either (too fat and goony). I did a bit of target shooting when I was a little kid, and I only got into weightlifting in my early 20s, because it turns out it's the only sport I can really get into, for some reason. There's a definite sense of accomplishment involved when completing a feat of any kind, physical or otherwise. It's pretty basic psychology, especially if you are able to share that accomplishment with a group, achieving something that would be impossible to do alone. Gotta get high on those endorphins, yo. There's also an element of that when fans get all riled up because their team won, even though they objectively didn't have a drat thing to do with it. You instinctively want to be part of the winning team. God, I feel like such a goon writing this.

NYC Subway Schadenfreude: Saturday night I was on my way home on a crowded 2 train where every seat was taken except for one...where someone had clearly puked on an issue of Us Weekly and left it there to congeal to the bench. We come to the Franklin Ave stop and this big angry guy decides he's going to force his way into a clearly packed car, pushing and elbowing. He spots the empty seat and rushes over, not bothering to ask himself why there's an empty seat on a crowded train in the first place. I'm not sure which was more satisfying...the *squelch* as he sat in a pool of vomit, or that he actually got half the car to bust out laughing.

I was in Austin walking by a bus stop and all of a suddenly I hear this yelling. This dude has a piece of wood or a bat and it slamming it against the bus stop shattering it and yelling about something. 30 seconds later the bus stop and he gets on yelling at the top of his lungs. I keep walking and stop into a store for a few minutes. Come out and keep walking in the direction of the bus and the guy is on the sidewalk being cuffed by a cop explaining that this is all a big misunderstanding. I also noticed he had two black eyes.

Pope Corky the IX posted:NYC Subway Schadenfreude: Just curious, do they have custodians who clean the trains on the go, or would the puke stay there until the end of a shift/scheduled downtime for maintenance? I have no experience with how they maintain a massive transit system in big cities. Edit - since I had to know the answer to this useless question - each train is supposed to be cleaned when it arrives at it's home terminal, which is about six times a day. A deep cleaning with a power washer is supposed to happen during maintenance every few weeks. Canuckistan has a new favorite as of 16:18 on Apr 11, 2016 |

I have no experience with how they maintain a massive transit system in big cities. Unless someone gets shot or something, there is no cleaning while the trains are in transit. That seat covered in vomit and Us Weekly will stay there, because the alternative is sacrificing an MTA employee to the riders as he attempts to hold up the train at a stop in order to clean it.

Centripetal Horse posted:This is hilarrible. On the one hand: that poor kid! On the other hand: lolololol. The look of pure, unadulterated joy on that kids face as he launches himself into the air, followed by face-planting onto the unyielding earth and the gnarled roots of that tree, is a perfect metaphor for life. Nah, this would come out during a fight when the kid is in his teenage years. "Remember that time you didn't catch me? YOU NEVER LOVED ME!" Then Dad will pull out his phone and play the video, and everybody will laugh at the kid because he made a stupid mistake. This is poo poo that will be at his first wedding. "Wow, he got a good wife there. Now look at this little idiot eating poo poo when he was young. Good thing I like my daughter more!"

99% of the time I see people with their hazards on it's because they're very illegally parked and "just have to grab something from this store real quick". Very often it's in a bus stop. The best was when someone did this at a really big bus stop and the buses boxed the idiot in while the cops could arrive to give quite a ticket. The lady in the truck was just screaming the whole time. Huge screaming fit about how it would have been fine the buses just went around her and she had to pick up her photos from the photo place but couldn't find parking on that exact block. Most of the time though these idiots get off consequence free though

I've seen people turn on hazards while driving to indicate when they are on the phone, people use them for the stupidest things. One that really boggled my mind was someone that had their flashers on because they were driving very slow on the highway while it was raining, which on it's own isn't a bad thing, but they were in the far left lane while doing it. If you're going to drive so slow that you feel you need to turn on your hazards you don't do it in the fast/passing lane.  Going to two different commuter-heavy universities I've gotten used to calling them "park anywhere lights" because that's definitely their primary purpose anywhere near campus.
