What's wrong with baseball and basketball?

[-] goatmeal@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

I've been watching for 25yrs. The rules are crazy complex and more complex than chess or any other sport. Complex rules don't make for a smarter game though. Now the rules are getting more complex in the name of player safety.

Smartest sport is definitely Chess Boxing

There's gambling. I'm a stats nerd so I gamble tiny $ on football games because of that. It's a lot of fun.

[-] goatmeal@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

Aha. I should've read the top comment before making a long one defending football.

Yeah that's unfortunate as I've checked into it. He opposed the installed president but also opposed Aristide. I spent too much time checking into that

Edit: I'm deciding to leave this up as there's some good info. It looks like he opposed empire but wanted to personally profit. The Haitian earthquake brought out all sorts of shadiness

First off the US sponsored coups in Haiti in 1991 and 2004

Over 300k people died in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake

Wyclef Jean attempted to run for president against the US backed leader in 2010 but was declared ineligible by election officials go gave no reason, and suffered harassment and death threats from political opponents in Haiti.

He was also widely criticized by celebrities in the US who claimed he wasn't Haitian enough and had no experience. Among those who criticized him was the founding member of the Fugees, Pras

It gets weirder because shorlty after the earthquake Pras decided to do to side with two empres? Which ones, well the US and China of course. He was convicted on ten counts including a failed conspiracy to funnel money from the Malaysian businessman Jho Low and the government of China to Obama in 2012 and Donald Trump in 2016. He was convicted on 10 counts including conspiracy, fraud, witness tampering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China.

It's kinda wild really. WTF. There was a Fugees reunion concert while Pras was fighting his legal battle. I wonder what Lauryn Hill thought of her bandmates political activities, and if Wyclef and Pras got along. Now that the empire had fucked both of them.

Wyclef famously sang: If I was President, I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday, Burried on Sunday, They go back to work on Monday

I wonder what he's up to now.

The point of open carrying machetes is as a widespread protest movement.

So the basic premise is the national machete org is less lethal than tbe NRA and The Dickhead cops. So many cops have a penile haircut. Enough about that. This is best worn at night but on well lit streets. Every trans queer and self IDd oddballs, neurodiverse people should be macheted up n ready to giddy-up.


Of course this should remained shealthed unless someone tries you. it's less likely with the machetes. Btw these are "ghost machetes." they're not traced. They're a deterrant. Escalate to de-escalate homie.


I tend to film cops dealing with the unhoused. These guys all have knives on them. Legally they cannot be over 2.5in and confiscation and cutting em loose seems to be the cops' play of any length. I keep a 3.5in spring assist on my keychain. If I'm going out late with low light I keep a 5in spring assist in case I fumble with the keys. That is completely concealed..


If stopped by cops explain the protest movement and if you're light enough you'll most likely get it confiscated. You might get a misdemeanor citation which may go on your record but nobody cares about misdemeanors which is what plea bargains are for .. and that's for overcharged with a felony.



Robberies tend to be point blank. You're just as likely to thwak a potential armed robber as shoot him with your traceable gun and have to deal with BS.. One thwak with the machete and if your face isn't blasted off you let someone live. Maybe get a free gun. Maybe everything stripped off you or killed. Life is a series of gambles. Don't carry near schools ..


My sketch was too coked and jittery. It says NMA: If pepper pellets and tasers are less lethal so are machetes. I got this idea off a fat $20 bag of coke. Like over 300mg


We third world now.

Edit: Structure

2006 Hezbollah kicked Israeli out. 2016 onwards they fought against the US in Syria. Now they're keeping Isrsel from achieving its expressed goal for s greater israel. I don't support them in any religious way

Yeah people really dunno how hawkish South Korea Park Admin was with lots of joint naval exercises with the US. This provoked Kim's nuke tests. Thankfully SK elected Moon who had real summits with Kim. Unlike Trump who threatened him before not negotiating in good faith.
