I’m getting over a cold. My nose is raw from how many times I’ve had to blow it. Even name brand tissue feels like sandpaper after several dozen uses. My kidneys probably hate me for drinking cough syrup at the minimum safe interval for a few days on end. The smell of a cough drop is now off-putting.

Late to the discussion, and I’m not sure how much this is worth from someone who is on his own break from the game, but my favorite non-combat activities included:

• daily crafting writs on 20 toons (probably part of why I’m burned out)
• cashing in a fat stack of master writs
• trait research
• collecting mat surveys, for a small number of surveys (if surveys weren’t account bound, or if you could collect multiple surveys at once, I’d be willing to start crafting writs again)
• using market tools to locate a furnishing plan I wanted, or a piece of gear I needed to finish out a set in the sticker book

Beth Gibbons has one of my favorite singing voices ever.

I hate the Dodgers, but I hate the Yankees even more. It’s a pity they can’t both lose.

It’s a tongue in cheek way of referring to neurodivergence. The same way that someone might refer to neurotypical as neurobland.

Not having any signs or traits of being neurospicy

There’s a lot more randomness in baseball, and it’s also a lot harder for a single superstar to carry their team.

A god-tier pitcher will still only start 1/4 of their team’s playoff games. A god-tier hitter will only get 1/9 of their team’s plate appearances.

In the NFL, by contrast, the quarterback touches the ball every offensive play of every game. So if you have a god-tier qb like Pat Mahomes, that gives you a hard to beat advantage so long as he’s healthy.

In the NBA, any player on the floor could conceivably touch the ball on every possession. So if you have a god-tier player like Lebron on your team, it’s much easier to have them carry the rest of your team on a deep playoff run.

It’s almost as if having the best coach ever in the history of the collegiate game retire means whoever replaces him will suck in comparison.

I wonder if we’ll get another random one-off bit like Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender.

I’m cheering for a meteor strike

In a league full of raging assholes who’ve been coddled since elementary school for being good at football, thereby allowing them to avoid consequences at an absurd rate, this guy is probably the least sympathetic of them all.

I won’t say I’m happy to see him get injured, but I don’t have one iota of sympathy for him or for the Jerry Jones-level idiots in the Browns management who gave him such an absurd contract.

Aside from his victims, about the only people in this I feel sorry for are the Browns fanbase.
