@TheStalwart I feel like all the reasons for the offsides rule could just as easily apply to basketball. Then I imagine them applied to basketball and it definitely makes the sport more boring.
@scottlincicome Exception- you live in a Western state currently experiencing drought and tons of wildfires. Being a narc is the kindest of potential options in that case.
@asymmetricinfo@mattyglesias@Noahpinion Neither party was ever serious about deficits. One party just used them as a cudgel against the other. Once that stopped being useful we just went to both sides continuing not to care and nobody talking about it.
@SethDavisHoops Feels like team owners would just use this opportunity to hire fewer staff. Ticket prices wouldn’t go down or increase at a slower rate though.
@dilanesper I like soccer and love the World Cup, but as an American it’s also fun to make fun of soccer as a sport for lesser athletes. Making fun of the offsides rule is part of that (e.g. penalizing players for running too fast).
@DrewSav I assume it’s a chromosome and DNA mismatch. Probably owing to having different creators in the universe. Elves were created by Iluvatar. Dwarves by Aule.
@ZaidJilani I’m no fan of Platner and probably wouldn’t vote for him, but you’re exactly right on this point. I’m tired of seeing Collins getting credit for being moderate when all of her votes that go against the party are performative. They are never the deciding vote.
@MattGlassman312@JonahDispatch Mandatory military service for people who are chronically late. It will correct the problem as they will be 15 minutes early for everything for the rest of their lives.
