i kinda want to try it just to see what's up but, man, $24 plain pepperoni twelve-incher with $6 delivery fee is a really loving bad deal over here. like, https://www.picariga.lv/ is considered to be a rather upmarket pizza affair over here and you cant just compare the prices. the only thing that local pizza hut has in similar price range is 12" margarita that is (official pic) just a loving dough disk


this works fine in korea and china because korean and chinese pizza is an abomination

(speaking as a korean person who lived in new york for a year)

apparently they seem to have ok pies in latvia. so continue consuming the ok pies

that's a contributing factor but it's not the main one. america is fatter than most first-world nations, and places like japan with highly mechanized labor have far lower obesity rates than the USA

it's the easy availability of refined sugars and complex carbohydrates, mostly, and americans' inability to keep from gorging themselves on them

i’d say our lovely labor law/decline in work-life balance/the grinding of capitalism/lack of social safety net is also largely to blame

you can track the rise in obesity along as wages stagnate since the 70s and it strongly follows poverty

the international and the like are not concerned with ancient 30-somethings primarily or secondarily
the more i think about it, they're really not analogous at all. the international is really promoting the game itself, i think. they're really not concerned with anything other than ensuring that the millions and millions of 30 yuan microtransactions keep pouring in.

pretty close thing to boxing promotion in the era where it was all done by the mob who also handled the gambling

it's a fair bit more ethical, tho, with the lack of brain hits

but not that much, since they all take amphetamines at that level

though bookies had to pay out real money, whereas valve sells you worthless digital items.

not saying that sports are any better. any time i watch sports on a european stream, it's all ads for Bet88.eu or whatever and US TV is draftkings and fanduel nonstop.

ultimately both kinds of sports are supported by bilking morons and deplorable for essentially the same reasons. just don't be a fuckin' rube, either by blowing your money on schemes for idiots, or drinking inferior beer because it's the Official Beer of the Nashville Predators™.

I played baseball for 22 years. I started when I was 5 or 6 and it put me through college. I was on city all star teams from 7th grade through High school. I attended a top 25 program and I am supremely qualified to tell that baseball is actually bad and dumb. It is also incredibly boring and I played catcher so I was consistently involved throughout the game. I Called games but oh my god it was so soul crushingly boring. I got my first cell phone, a lovely Nokia brick, when I was young just so I could call my parents to get picked up so they didn't habe to sit there.

I wish I had played soccer

Some people have a short attention span and can't be asked to participate in things that don't involve bright flashing colors and constant action, and that's okay. We're all capable in our own way.

i kinda wonder about what Blizzard is doing with OWL because they charged each team $20mil to start a franchise and twitch paid over $90mil to stream it

their sponsors include hp, t-mobile, Toyota and... sour patch kids

i think that maybe it was a thing way back in the 70s and earlier and became internalized as a media trope yeah

at my high school the jocks and band nerds coexisted peacefully. there were one or two 'bullies' but everyone saw it for what it was and- i guess we didn't hate them we more ignored them or just rolled our eyes whenver they tried to act tough
