And anyways, despite all the modern day christian justifications and excuses, the new testament end of days stories were clearly supposed to happen during the lifespans of those alive back then. All the early christians believed they were living in the end days because that's what the religion said.

Well, there is truth to that, but you might want to explore the Jewish take on the time preceding the arrival of The Messiah.

I’m sure they’re all under very strict orders to not say boo about Trump or the United States, to not ask the players about it and if they address it at all, to focus vaguely on the booing being unfortunate and how we should respect the anthems.

Yeah, I get if a person doesn't care... But to say it's meaningless is just stupid.

Like, I don't care about the World Cup at all... Soccer is meaningless to me... But the players care about it, so it can't be meaningless.

Everything is pretty meaningless though when looked through the prism of existentialism.

Ahhh yeah, I’d forgotten about that weird episode last year where he was ranting about crypto being humanity’s greatest invention, or something.

I've looked at crypto from every fucking angle over a number of years now and the main takeaway is pretty simple. If you're not pool mining using entirely self generated electricity (home solar, etc), you're just a degenerate gambler by a different name.

There are some useful, but very limited privacy driven use cases, but 99% of these clowns are just trying to hit it rich by being on the right side of a shit coin pump and dump.
 
Hope Makar can return. I'm still not over this weird illness where I was knocked on my ass for the last two weeks via crippling brain fog. And food tastes weird too. Probably just a weird cold going around. Can't imagine playing hockey through it though.

I see that not having littles ones is paying off again.

I think I've been sick once since I had covid a few years back. Not sharing space with a germ warfare factory definitely helps.

Yeah... Rest of the illnesses have been a breeze, mild colds here and there. But Tldr: covid still sucks ass and you don't want it
