Thanks! I don't have any to contribute but will definitely be trying this, sounds delicious! (Admittedly, I am high.)

Perjorative term for all sports.

Mostly internet and I would imagine strongly correlated with those who are still angry they had an unpleasant high school experience.

I think you're missing two large parts; escapism and booze.

From the sportsball moniker, I imagine you aren't a fan. Sometime, it's worth it to go to a bar that supporters of whatever team go to. There's something magic about hooting, hollering and cheering with a crowd of complete strangers about this one thing. And in that brief couple of hours, it becomes larger and more magic. And some folks chasing that feeling get drunk and go too far when it goes wrong.

That would be ideal for fans but I guess Disney doesn't view that as profit maximizing?

To paraphrase the Beatles "they get high with a little help from their friends"

Stanford and Harvard both have all sorts of interesting lecture series online! Harvard has stuff like urban design, religious history, art history, the relationship between cooking and physics, biology, Chinese history and much more!

Haven't taken any with Stanford but here's a link to their catalogue:

I've fallen out of star wars as the recent stuff has been mediocre (or Andor which was "quality television" but felt, to me out of place in a galaxy ruled by space wizards with laser swords) but damn, seeing that wolfman dude and the notion of Urkel... Well, I'm tempted!

Fair, I play more RPGs and whatnot where a knife takes 4 years to injure someone. (Though, a bad sword can take just as long because, I dunno, it's too dull to chop through this peasant's leather tunic? Goddamnit Ultima.)

I don't know how weird it is but my cat seems to understand that when faces are talking from the computer screen my hands will be free for the more important duty of skritching.

She has become a hit during team meetings, to the point where one time she was sleeping and didn't come prompting half the team to send concerned DMs.
