There was a blood lust on Reddit and anybody with any compassion at all would be downvoted to hell. There are no winners here and just death and misery.
Now go have a look at Chet Hanks (the spawn of Tim Hanks) many interviews in a Patois accent.
I don’t even know how I feel about things like this either. On the one hand it’s pretty cringe, but on the other can you imagine growing up with Tom Hanks as your dad, it’s a tough act to follow and it must be hard to find yourself.
Most people haven’t played music since school but I’d argue Chopin’s preludes are not children’s music.
I wouldn’t really go out of my way to watch sport but man does it have a great atmosphere when with friends and they’re passionate about it.
It’s quite arrogant to think this way in my opinion.
As is tying all sportspeople with the same brush. It really shows your ignorance. I don’t like UFC but Jake Shields is one of the few people speaking out in favour of Palestine from the sports world.
What’s more likely that everybody that was ever good a sport was also an asshole or that you’re misrepresenting people.
Disclaimer I suck at most sports, but I’m quite goated a pool. Everyone on my pool team was a different kind of person and had different personalities, morals and levels of empathy (all of which had more than you’re showing here.)
You don’t have to imagine. Sports is arguably the most consumed thing on this rock mate. Just because we don’t partake in something doesn’t take away from how it touches the real world.
Just one example I can think of off the top of my head is the Usyk fight last night. That gives a lot of hope and good feelings to the people of Ukraine as they go through a war of freedom.
There are plenty of people who don’t like music at all and literally never listen to it, but for me I’d top myself if music wasn’t around as it’s an escape for me.
I hope this doesn’t come across as me going in on you, just highlighting that what matters to us isn’t the same as what matters for others and if we want to be better then we should understand these things as it could help us make connections with other people and be less divisive.
So on the boxing, as I said I’m not a sports head, but I did watch it last night as my friends like sport. I don’t know enough about injuries to determine if it should be banned but you can die skiing, do we ban that too. What about crossing the street.
You do seem to have a bias against sport to be honest. Like nobody makes you celebrate these people as heroes. I personally think it’s pretty damn cool to be the fastest person to run 100m.
Let me ask you this. What should be celebrated then? Is my job something worthy of doing, as a software developer?
Again, just because someone is the fastest or strongest doesn’t mean that is there everything.
Imagine you’re really good a throwing a ball really far and you play whilst a university, you’re studying medicine but sport blows up and you’re offered hundreds of millions a year. You telling me you turning that down?
With me not being into sports i can think of an example, but let me use music. Queen’s Brian May study physics at university. Pink Floyd were all well educated people.
If I didn’t know any better I would say your take seems like it comes from bitterness or jealousy of some sort.
If I don’t like football (soccer) who am I to say that those people don’t have a positive effect on the world. Marcus Rashford writes children’s books and does loads of community work in my city for instance.
If it’s there level of wealth you have issue with, there are billionaires out here contributing less to society. I’d rather ticket money and shirt sales go to the players than some dude in a suit.
Anyway, I don’t think any of us are going to come round to the others point of view and no hard feelings. It’s just if the roles were reversed here I might do a little introspection to see if I am being biased or not as I do try to treat everybody the same no matter how you make money, what you look like cause we don’t know shit about next man unless we’ve walked a mile in there shoes.
Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
Well that’s mighty selfish of you isn’t it, won’t you think of the Microsoft shareholder who want to make more money from harvesting your data and Netflix for wanting to serve you ads to increase profits.

I believe this is correct as I read in a book somewhere that it was a kind of proto-chicken if you will, that laid an egg of which came a the first chicken.
The more interesting question is how long did it take for the first BBQ Chicken.
I’m not one to defend Facebook, the execs can burn in hell for all I care, but they do have to comply with the laws of countries or else face being sued by some litigious Americans.
Let me ask you this. Are you still on Facebook?
Me myself was not happy with the influx of misinformation on there 10 years ago and I’ve not used the site since, or Instagram or WhatsApp.
Thank you for your kind words, and I didn’t mean to come across as combative or anything, I was just voicing my thoughts.
As for losing friends, if my friends don’t believe in the same things as me then I really should find friends I have more in common with.
Full disclosure I’ve done some fucked up things in my life and my way of making amends is speaking of for the people less fortunate than I am and taking a stand for the things I believe, whether it makes a difference or not.
As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....
There is a an episode on Stuff they don’t want you to know called “The horrifying truth of online pornography”. Suffice to say I’ll just use my imagination now.

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?
