The olympics.

I still hadn’t cared for the olympics in quite a while, and I find that its last spark of relevance has faded back in the 90s/early 2000s. It has become politicized and commercialized, where there’s little to no sense in getting that interested in them. It’s also about just circlejerking for whichever country won the most medals, which ultimately doesn’t matter compare to if we can respect a country that doesn’t contribute to anymore shit that others do overall.

Also it’s no surprise some of or most of the people attending are probably doped up too, so who cares about authenticity?

    The fact that electors physically exist as real people is still insane to me. If a state has winner takes all for their electoral votes, why does a group of random people have to then travel to DC to cast a vote. It’s not 1800 when the outcome of a state’s election needed to travel via horseback to the capitol.
