They're good (and I use one when I'm going on the train because they are so much more compact) but our bigger three-wheeler ones is a shitload easier to steer and is actually capable of going on something that isn't a flat man-made surface.

Yeah okay if you're going on a nature trail that makes sense, but %99 of the time people are using them at the grocery store, on the bus, or on the sidewalk and they just get in everyone's way and the parents bowl through other people. That's my argument against them, not the small percentage of people who are responsible with them.

Judaism is better than christianity because judaism will go to extreme lengths to justify and rules lawyer things via torah text while christians will be like “uh, oh, no jesus abolished the shellfish part but not the gay part even though those have equal time and importance attached in jewish law.”

Christianity invented the prosperity gospel and gave the world Calvinism.

That's inexcusable.

Spaceballs is kind of like Airplane or the naked gun movies to me. Funny, but not something I'll go out of my way to watch again. It's the kind of humor where once you've heard the joke once it starts to wear off on repeat watches.

If it makes you feel any better, considering I will watch movies like The Waterboy every single time I see it on and laugh at it every time, my opinions about comedy might be called "invalid" by some people.

A lot of earlier Adam Sandler stuff is actually pretty funny, it's just tainted by association with the current Adam Sandler.

I can't hate on the dude too much though. He gets paid millions to go on vacations with his friends and dick around with a camera for a small portion of it. They weren't even going to film 50 First Dates in Hawaii until Sandler decided he wanted to go to Hawaii.

It’s barely even a secret and yet studios continue to throw obscene amounts of money at him. I hate the art, but I respect the hustle.

Yeah I guess the movies are still profitable so I can't blame Sandler at all for riding that train all the way to the last station. If people wanted to pay me and my friends millions of dollars to wander around and occasionally poo poo out a bad movie you bet your was I'd be cashing that check.

Me crush ass to dust

I really want to see the accounting on modern Adam Sandler movies. Years ago, Matthew Mcconaughey made a big budget action movie called Sahara, it was like 100+ million bucks. Somehow the budget leaked and it revealed they spent a lot of money bribing local officials in Morocco to make the movie happen. I bet with Sandler movies it's like $20 million to make the movie and then everything else goes to salary and "catering" costs.

I once read a (presumably sanitized-for-kids) novelization of Spaceballs where they changed the Surrounded By Assholes joke to Surrounded By Idiots.

Okay that's my story.

Coming home from work and there's some football poo poo happening.

Automatically assuming someone you don't know gives a poo poo or knows about football and starting some awkward rear end conversation about it is socially incompetent.
I can't count how many times people do this, "When are the Eagles playing tonight?"

I don't loving know, why would you assume I know? Even if it's something popular that would be a safe bet to assume most people are interested in, you STILL don't know for sure, and thus making the assumption and just asking me some question or ranting about your armchair amateur football strategisms is stupid as everloving poo poo.

I don't assume everyone cares about gymnastics, boxing, or powerlifting because I care about them, so everyone else must too. That makes no sense, it's like they have worse theory of mind than an infant.

Like ask me first, "So you interested in the football game coming up?" then I can politely respond "No, I'm not much of a football fan."
Instead I have to find some awkward way out of the situation, which is almost impossible to do smoothly because people, for some inexplicable, rear end sharted, backwards reason, get mopey and unresponsive when I inform them I am an unreliable source of information or conversation about football.

Forgive me for not caring about football I guess? Jesus Christ did I kill a baby?

I don't begrudge anyone for liking the sport, and I'm glad people are passionate about it, but this stupid rear end phenomena is beyond me.

Please just stop.

Also sports are mainstream and normal and both things are good to be.

If you are not normal you should probably stop being yourself and instead be normal. At the very least you should learn a little bit about it just so that you can pass as a normal person and learn to hide the real you.

The most enthusiastic sports fans literally kill people because they're such fans. Also they 100% condone child rape if it's good for the sport. I guess I'm not surprised you would prefer them over people who, you know, do neither.

Those people would be condemned for murdering and child raping though, not for being sports fans. There are people who hate sports that murder and rape kids too. They are called "bad people".

If you’re counting literal criminality as part of “fandom” then nerds have plenty of blood on their hands too.

Some bitter nerd shot up an esports tournament like a week or two ago. Reddit had dozens of child porn forums. SA has given gun and ammo tips to at least one murderer. Etc
