Sports fandom seems to be largely comprised of predicting the outcome, with wildly varying degrees of likelihood, of future events, then subsequently getting very angry when results don't match the predictions.

Personally, I'd really appreciate it if the people who seem least attached to reality would stop claiming to speak for me.

every few years society reinvents the "coffee flavored coffee" rant from first principles. in fact the first known incident of coffee-flavored-coffee induced rage dates to 1534 when Ahmad bin Abd al-Haqq al-Sunbati persuaded a group of listeners to destroy coffee shops in Cairo selling flat whites

Prominent reviewer and journalist in the Hi-Fi sector. He refers to the "skip track" or "fast forward" buttons as the Red Hot Chili Peppers Button.

This reeks of flat-earth, Birds Aren't Real, or other interwubz born arguments, but this one seems to ensnare people who would otherwise be incredulous about such things.

I find it all a bit amazing.

Twice per year I have to endure otherwise rational people losing their minds and making nonsensical arguments about DST.

I'm reasonably convinced most are doing this out of boredom or a sense of ironic contrarianism.

Regurgitated articles that sound sciency are trotted out in support.

Indeed. Though, I work for META regularly as well so I can't cast too many stones.

I figure META will only have money to mindlessly throw around at things that don't help them for so long and anyone who can take some of that money off them is doing a service to humanity.

Motivated reasoning.πŸ˜‰

Obviously different than Spurs, but also different than most of the Premier League. Wrexham isn't a black box that the club expects supporters to blindly accept.
