Where else would it be? The moon didn't just forget it had gravity.
Rugby is a sport of fluidity similar to soccer. Gridiron football is a sport of individual plays and tactics.
And in my town and many in the US. The clubs are named "Football Club" while the majority of society calls it soccer. There's simply no other way to distinguish between the sports other than using the term soccer. I'm open for any suggestions that don't also involve changing the name of the most popular sport here.
We call it soccer.
Re:All Companies Are Fucked Up on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @10:45AM (#33625005)
One thing that tends to happen is that the grind brings us to an existential crisis about our current situation and how to grapple with the dichotomy of our hard work and the unending treadmill of the workplace. We find ourselves living out a Kafkaesque life of the absurd. A bureaucracy designed to keep us busy while not actually going anywhere. Living out the life of Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill only to have it roll back down once we get to the top, ad infinitum. There's no real point to it all. I've found that embracing the absurd is the only way forward. Companies are absurd. The interactions you deal with are unpredictable and lack reason many times because of the infinite variables that play out in each person's head leading up to each interaction and the ability to affect your station is not directly tied to any sort of logical pathway that can be followed. Rebel against the absurdity. Embrace it. When something brings you down laugh at it in the face and push forward. "One can imagine Sisyphus happy" -Albert Camus
Re:Jeff Bezos to give most of his money to charity on Monday November 14, 2022 @10:51AM (#33595758)
In the end, Bezos won't be a single digit millionaire any time soon. Any sacrifice he makes must be taken into the perspective that he'll still be so fabulously rich that he won't ever be like a normal person again. So this announcement doesn't really move the bar on my opinion of him. He's just a human being who hit it big. At least some good comes of it, but I don't expect the big problems with society to be fixed. At least he's doing what he perceives as the right thing. That's kindof how it works in the USA. Private charity is kind of our thing.
