Deleted because I realized you might not be pursuing that exact scenario and have vast and sundry reasons to watch sports on TV, but yes, this is increasingly dumb. I got into sports as a kid because it was on in the background and it was free, and now you need a strategy just to watch a game.

When I was a freshman in high school, through some convoluted explanation that I've since forgotten, USC's band practiced on our field before the Notre Dame game, and we got to skip PE to watch. It had snowed; watching them between setups throwing snowballs at each other was a nice memory for today

I still giggle at the escape vehicle being a helicopter, not exactly the stealthiest of conveyances, which can be tracked to its eventual landing spot by anyone with binoculars and a radio

I get what you're saying and it's a minor quibble, but the problem with positioning this boob as the voice of reason is it might make it seem like he has a point when he says if you get on the subway you'll be killed and eaten

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit
