Meanwhile my out of shape half drunk uncle watching someone wobble after landing a quadruple backflip: "what a disgrace to their country"

The ice dancing has beautiful music that the participant spent hours agonizing over.

The netowrks have some idiot babbling over the music.

Yeah, wish they would just shut up and let the athletes do their thing, and don't cut away to show the crowd!

Every sporting event should include one regular dude failing horribly, just to put things in perspective.

That is precisely why Eddie the Eagle is a Winter Olympics legend.

I find figure skating commentary is usually the funniest.

"Twizzles...... Twizzles..... Double axel..... Very good..... Twizzles..."

“And he ended it with a little dance, very nice. The judges will like that.”

They need 3 or 4 sets of Olympic competitions. The olympics with no drugs or professionals. This version but with “weekend athletes” per event. Finally, Olympics with pros and every performance enhancing drug known to man, let’s see what the body can do. And then one that is just a free for all of all of the above.

Every sports day I see the 100m track, and say "no way in hell I can finish that in under 10 seconds"

The day you change your mind you should probably check yourself in somewhere

I'm sorry.

I admit I need help. You are just offering to help. But I'm just selfish and don't want to commit so something long ten Incase I change my mind mid way.

Like, I mentioned once before, the first time I tried therapy, I said that I'm stuck in a work, sleep, repeat cycle. They said everyone who works in the same cycle.

That sucked

Good-er news, met a temporary specialist who came in fro a rough week (4 months apparently*) at work, who convinced me therapy is worth it.

Like, if I can be promised a 6 month course of sessions. (Hell, even a 1-2 YEAR course, I will sign the papers). But I'm scared of the black hole I will open up talking to someone about """ this""" will open up...

I'm happy to pay a set X dollars. Not a maybe ∞ Dollars on a "let's hope this works"

I started a ramble here, but since I couldn't go far enough to no regret it in the morning, let's have some fun with an XKCD instead. Thst way we all laughing

Tell me you've never paid attention to any event, without telling me you've never paid attention to any event.
