It's like rapini actually read the thread title

It shouldn't piss Minimalist off, but it looks like might. So it's great for the thread!

Why?

Parkour

Bachata

Agreed, especially in baseball games.

It annoys me so much to see 18 inning games that teams waste all their pitchers and are disadvantaged going forward just cause their game took longer. Plus they're almost always boring. Give them 11 innings and then it's a tie.

Japan does this right, regular season games max at 12 innings.

How many 18 inning games are there each year?

The show Stranger Things, and the accompanying circlejerk.

A couple.

NFL Limiting the amount of challenges. If a coach wants to blow all his timeouts making terrible challenges then let him.

then it's a freeroll to just challenge something instead of calling timeout which is a big waste of time

For me, it's the idea that they limit *successful* challenges. Doesn't seem to be a great argument for that.

NFL is training us to be impatient if there are cameras on in the stadium and it isn't an actual play. Soon it will be play - commercial - play - commercial for the whole damn thing.

wat

it's only a freeroll if you can't lose

losing a timeout is pretty significant

For the network.

NFL replay should piss you off though. Get screwed once? It's important that you can fix it. Screwed twice? Fix it! Three times you've gotten boned by the refs? Fix it!

But once you get screwed for that 4th time, it isn't important to get calls right anymore.

Why a real ref doesn't watch replays in real time and just fix things without stopping play and having a guy on the field run into a voting booth instead is preposterous.

He's saying you would never call a regular time out again, you would instead challenge something even if there was a <1% chance you get it right - a) you get a longer time out to strategize/whatever, and b) you have a 1% chance of having something reversed in your favor.

It's pretty lol though that they won't let you have a 4th challenge if you got all 3 correct so far because they want to protect the speed of the game, but won't budge on the asinine TD-commercial-kickoff-commercial system.

why the hell am I here?

Um, Cheesecake?

my dads family sings "god is blessing you now" to the same tune after finishing the song.

Headphones and ear buds piss me off. They never fit me right, or work. And if by some miracle they do they immediately break. And that makes me pissed at everyone else at the gym who wears them - which is like 80-90% of the dudebros at my gym.

I came in today to do deadlifts - 2 dudes with ear buds taking up the 2 stations. Didn't feel like working in and taking off weights to warm up, so I said screw it I'll do squats. As I'm warming up I notice one of the dudes taking off his weights.

I walk up and say "Are you done?" Dude looks at me, pauses, makes a big move of ripping out one of his ear buds and says "What?". Oh you know I just wanted to get your thoughts on Brexit. Couldn't possibly be the thing 99 out of 100 people would ask in that spot.

So I start helping him take off his weights. He has one ear bud hanging out now. I say jokingly "Yeah, I didn't really want to do squats anyway." He looks at me. Pauses. Rips out the other ear bud and says "What?". Never freaking mind dude. Go back to your screamcore.

It's not like the gym was playing country music or something. Ear buds just seem like such a hassle, and do you really need to get that pumped for lifting some middling amount of weight? I get it more for like an hour of cardio if you want your deep house or whatever. Of course then you have to deal with sweating all over the ear buds.

Also there's something to be said for keeping your senses about you and aware of your surroundings, especially when heavy weights are being flung all around you. Hey look out! Oops I guess he didn't hear me.

He probably thought you said, "Get off my lawn."
