My treat is lecturing others on why their treat consumption is bad. And cocaine, I really really love cocaine.

Just another chapter in our very boring dystopia. Millions of Americans desperately searching for some sense of community and attaching themselves to a billionaire’s chess game and developing a parasocial relationship with their team, all for some fleeting dopamine

Sounds like everything else in America eh

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

One thing I've never understood; The players aren't even from your home town or state. They're just random dudes. Why are you so attached to the franchise? It's not really related to you at all, it's just a brand.
