I think you completely misunderstood the point of that Hamm interlude, it was very clearly about the delusion of narcissism rather than anything to do with technology or Black Mirror. Technology and shadows in caves were just used as a means of illustrating the point.

Let’s keep examining the crazy. That trade was an absolute robbery for Cleveland. At the time they received:

Every few years there comes along a pretty accurate passer and the scouts collectively say, “Hurrrr, he’s too short. Probably can’t even see over the line.” Then they draft Brock Osweiler because you can’t teach that prototypical body type. And then Drew Brees and Russell Wilson kick everybody’s ass, and the…

This fucking dipshit is an approved commenter, and I’m not.

Out here in CA, they’re called Home Town Buffet. It’s like going into Thunderdome.

How can Cracker Barrel rate so high when they probably would have refused to serve you, Greg?

The degree to which the NFL continuously insults the public’s intelligence is maddening. Can we please just accept all of the horseshit hypocrisy, dispense with the horseshit ritualistic pomp and circumstance, and watch fucking football?!

I spent a year in Korea and it was the easiest tour I ever did. I can’t wait till we reach peak Nationalism and we start doing surprise reunions after a two month TDY to Florida.
