The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

World's strongest man is happening right now and probably on some channel you have (5 in the uk).

That's a real fun sport to watch, even if you know Jack poo poo, watch some beefy dude pick up increasingly heavy poo poo in a variety of ways.

This started as a joke, but actually it's now psa go watch big beefy men lift heavy things.

sports are cool because people are pushing their bodies to the very limit of what they are capable of and if you don’t appreciate that lol

I get a chuckle especially about nerds getting mad at HANDEGG because american football is like the closest thing to a board game or jrpg

Turn based strategy game plus amazing athleticism

I mean, it's obviously fine if it's just not your thing but these are the same people that watch youtubes of people mining bitcoins or whatever all day

Anything taken to its obsessive extreme is dumb imho and unfortunately the coolest things have the worst fan bases - from professional sports to animes to video games "esports" to game of thrones

Just like the thing you like and be cool, man. No need to be all tumblr Supernatural Fandom level of obsessed with competitive point and click or regurgitating ESPN broadcasts

early mma was kinda cool because it was about how different martial arts work against each other - now everyone just does the same stuff and permanently wrecks their bodies and that sucks

i still think the olympics are cool (aside from the socioeconomic and political bullshit) because they show all the other sports that never get air time, like curling

there's also a certain purity to running and swimming that are cool. like, it's just your body interacting with an environment in a way that humans have done forever

The Olympics competitions can be awesome while the politics suck

Both things can be true. Still it's the best version of even pretending to all come together that we have

Yep, answering the question of how many chips & beers can I put down my gullet watching TV while the players are seeing how many concussions a brain can take is really testing the limits of the human experience.

this negativity is very unhealthy. perhaps a jog would make you feel better, as aerobic exercise releases dopamine.

I also tend not to drink or snack while I watch sports, as it would set back my fitness goals.

You see they're simulating warfare led by generals (coaches) and ultimately at the behest of kings (team owners), once we have full communism we will have no need for such competitive nonsense and everyone will instead watch minecraft streamers cooperatively building giant golden dongs

I saw that video a few days ago and the robot still just looks so fuckin' unstable, like it's barely able to compensate for a lot of its own momentum.

Also if you haven't, skim the operator's manual for Spot because it's a hoot:

The robot often falls down, this is normal. If it falls on you, it's your fault. Do not taunt the robot.
