Yeah but what isn't pointless?

A CRAB IRL posted:It's this. Thousands of hours trying to be the absolute best at something so stupid. Conquistadors of the completely pointless. Fitzcarraldo syndrome. There is a FANTASTIC documentary on a group of people that are world record holders for some old 80s coin op game, I lived in arcades as a kid and I’ve never heard of it, it follows the “battles” of 3/4 of them as they fight to keep the record over the last 30 odd years. Highlights: Interviews with previous champions who stopped playing years ago, store owners, career professionals, normal people. Interviews with current champions who are without exception fat, carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers, no significant achievements in their lives and crappy goon cave houses. Watching someone play nonstop for 40 plus hours only to have the game crash. Watching technicians state “this guy is cheating by loving around what the programme” and hearing the pathetic claims that it must be a glitch. And the greatest post script ever.. which reveals that shortly after the first version of the documentary was released the internet at large started competing in the championships and now all the previous champions best scores barely rank in the top 100. Their entire “career” and meaning in life rendered irrelevant in a week.

Does smoking loose rolling tobacco out of a weed pipe because you're too poor to buy cigarettes and too much of an innovator to simply roll your own, count as being into pipe tobacco? I don't do this anymore but I need to know if I was lame when I was younger.

That's just poo poo you do to get by, and called being smart.

I know it was mentioned, but I got sick of spending lots of money for Gilette razor cartridges so went looking for the kind of razor I remember my dad having. I was so weirded out to run up on the "shaving culture" thing.

Every time I see a video of a cute pitbull mix on the internet I have to do the mental calculus of "is this someone who's rescuing the most commonly abandoned dog breed or the kind of breeder psycho who is abandoning them?" and it's very frustrating.
