LeviF Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It’s the politics section of a website dedicated to the following of a franchise that pays grown men millions of dollars per year to play a boy’s game at an extremely high level. Of course we’re wasting our time, it’s the whole point. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm gonna play nice now. Yes, I have learned a thing or two from other posters. No, not all of them. (I haven't looked in the mirror and said, "so maybe I AM a commie.") But some people here have experience or knowledge about things I don't know much about. So occasionally a real discussion breaks out and I do learn something or get a new perspective on something. I have my own areas of expertise (outside of the general know-it-all tone) and I kind of hope certain people have benefited from that. At least from time to time. And it's a distraction from boring work. Particularly when I was "working" at home a lot. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 You can't "waste" time. It's impossible. Time flows non-stop and can't be saved, wasted or manipulated. Time runs on it's own schedule 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Nothing is accomplished here, sort of amusement. We fling barbs at each other, I have something to do while I’m snapping a deuce or otherwise bored, and the world goes round and round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that certain seemingly perfectly normal people harbor such bizarro beliefs. I mean, read their football posts, they seem like regular guys (and they are all guys).

Everyone is entitled to their views on economics, foreign policy, domestic priorities, etc. Not everyone is going to agree all the time, and that’s great. It’s the American way. Some of the views here, though, are bananas. The ideas that anyone who doesn’t like Trump is a communist, or that the 2020 election was stolen by an Antifa-fueled conspiracy, or that there is a pedophiliac cabal of thought leaders secretly puppeteering our society are just nuts. It’s amusing to read them, but sometimes in the sort of way that Florida Man is interesting. As in, it’s hard to believe that there are people who would have aerosol hairspray and a lighter handy to use as a flamethrower against a raccoon. But those people are out there. And, here. So the whole experience is fun, but sometimes for different reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I would recommend to not spend too much time in one place or too much time doing a single activity. I post on message boards for; tractors, automobiles, investing, health/wellness and here. The personalities that make posting unenjoyable are found everywhere so that's life. When I was working, I would spend most of my day in front of the computer. After doing it for almost 35 years I believe that a lifestyle focused on a screen is killing you. Get out and do something, anything but get out of the chair and away from the screen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
