Happy Super Bore Weekend

 I suspect there won't be much activity on here this weekend with the Super Bore.

I mean, who gets excited about Football anyways 😕 And particularly the Super Bore, isn't it just an excuse for getting loud and rambunctious, drinking a lot and eating a ton of food?

Am I the ONLY one who thinks this way? My sports is soccer and hockey, where there is constant motion. 

So, tell me my dear followers, are you really into Super Bore? If so, why? Maybe I am missing something?

And it was nice to discover that I am not the only one who finds Football boring, found a few of these choice comments on Quora:

How’s this for boring. Broadcast time is 4 hours. Official play time is 1 hour. The ball is only in motion for 10 minutes. So you’re watching TV for 4 hours for 10 minutes of action. You might as well read Little Women for the sex scenes. 

I don’t find the Super Bowl to be boring. That said, I know I’m in for a different event than the 266 games that came before it. The pre-game is longer. The coin toss is longer. They sing America the Beautiful in addition to the Star-Spangled Banner. There are so many things that I know I have to prepare for. And then halftime in a regular NFL game is 12 minutes. In the Super Bowl, the on-field performance is 12 minutes. That doesn’t count the stage setup and break down time, so you’re looking at a solid 30 minutes for halftime.

Many people watch the game just for the commercials.

OMG…Y E S ! Boring doesn’t even begin to describe the game.

What a bunch of Snowflakes, wouldn't you agree?

So, bring your opinions to this thread and tell us why Football rules or doesn't rule. Take it a step further, what sports ARE you into? Nascar? Wrestling? Volleyball? Figure skating?

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
